Game over guys. That proves everything, all this reasoning about what Ginobli MIGHT do with more minutes are PURELY hypothetical. Should we play this number game with Landry too? I am pretty sure he would end up with HOF average.
parker is a fast slasher who finishes well around the rim. He isn't a great decision maker and their offense doesn't require him to be. Mostly Duncan makes the decision from the post, then Manu handles that job from the wings, after that they would have Barry make decisions but Parker has always been more of a scorer for them. Ginobli is playing great and maybe if they had him when he was younger there would have been more of an argument for him to be the 2nd best SG. He has play alot of games as a bball player and he can't play very long every game. If he did he would get tired (maybe hurt) and less productive. Popovich has said many times that he brings him off the bench for that spark. If he had a tmac/lebron/kobe he wouldn't need a spark off the bench because they could play longer. Pop is not stupid there is a reason for shortening his minutes. As good as Ginobli is if Pop had one those other great players they would be playing big minutes.
