When it comes to being the best pg in the league, why is Tony Parker ignored

Okay, then LeBron shouldn't win MVP since he doesn't do it all himself. Having Wade and Bosh on the team should disqualify him, to be honest.

Really?

Even though he leads the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, FG%, 3PT%, and is second in blocks..

I disagree

If we are using the logic that Tony Parker doesn't deserve consideration because Duncan and Ginobili on the team, then LeBron doesn't deserve it, either, since Wade and Bosh are no scrubs, either.

And, YES, I do think LeBron should be MVP; I am just demonstrating the faulty logic at work.

Anyway. LeBron is the front runner for the award right now, but it's not this ridiculously wide margin that some would say. Tony Parker is right there with him. There's a few things we need to relax on in this thread starting with how big the gap is between LeBron and everybody else for MVP. Acting as if Tony is having a good stretch recently like he hasn't been playing well all year. Finally that he is hands down the best point guard in the league. Just two weeks ago when the Clippers were looking like garbage without him, CP3 was the best PG in the league, they play the Spurs and he has a bad night and all of a sudden Parker is hands down the best 1 in the league? Come on now.

My MVP formula:

The player must be top 5 overall individually and on a top 5 overall team to qualify. Team rank determined by win%. Player rank determined by the average of PER and WS/48. Score = combined rank with team record as the tiebreaker, lowest score wins.

There are 4 qualifying players right now.

#1 LeBron James 3 points (1 player/2 team)
#2 Tony Parker 5 points (4 player/1 team)
Tie Kevin Durant 5 points (2 player/3 team)
#4 Chris Paul 7 points (3 player/4 team)

Well with the way y'all say that LeBron is going to spontaneously combust because he "does everything", I would think y'all would have him running away with the MVP...lol

To the point of the thread though, I think TP should be in both discussions....but as far as national media goes, he's not

I've always considered Parker a top 5 PG.. Not the clear cut number 1 guy but he's in my top tier group of guys for sure..

I also believe Parker is 2nd in the MVP race right now, according to NBA.com.. So it's not as if nobody is noticing
