Charles Barkley and Bill Simmons both agree with me (not sure if this hurts or helps my case).

I doubt very seriously that you will be swayed by my argument. |

I dont think you are reading my argument, because Nash did not guard Parker. He guarded Parker for less than 10% of the possessions. Raja Bell, Grant Hill and Boris Diaw guarded Parker and they are all better defenders than Kidd.

Regardless 24 and 12 is more points than 29 and seven. Furthermore, Parker's production (presuming a two point value for each assist just for ease) accounted for 41.1% of the Spurs offensive production (43 points out of 104.4 ppg) vs. 46.96% of the Hornets production. Which means that Paul was 14% more valuable to his team as a percentage of his teams offensive production. How is that for an Indy Coug argument? Of course I realize that there is no such thing as a conclusive quantative argument, my judgment says that Paul is better. Yours says that Parker was better. Of course, most would question our opinions because you like an abomination of basketball team, and I am a basketball satan worshiper (laker's fan). Where does that leave us..? At an impasse. |

Only a slobbering idiot would think I was actually saying that the odds of the Jazz going to the NBA Finals was greater than 100,000,000:1. |

Luckily for T-Mac, the team surrounding him is better than he's ever enjoyed before.

#1. Mental toughness. Kobe will cut your heart out and feed it to you, to win a game. T-Mac not so much. #2. WHen it comes to superstar treatment by the officials...T-Mac can't touch Kobe. Yes Kobe got a ton of techs this season, but that's beside the point. In the stretch there is one guy who will get more calls than most players in the league and Kobe is the leader in that regard.

Note to Cali: understand the principle being illustrated and stop being a mindless literalist.

Granted, I'm biased, and this is on the defensive end, but in the Denver series, I saw at least 4 calls on Kobe where he didn't even touch the guy (I only watched parts of three games)... One was quite egregious. Guy shot a jump-shot, Kobe extended to attempt the block, and pulled back his hand when the player let the ball go. Kobe didn't touch the guy. No lower-body contact. Nothing. And yet he was called for the foul. Similarly, on the offensive end, there were several times he got hacked in the 3rd quarter of game4, with no call.
