I think they had almost the exact same stats this year. Bibby is more versatile as a PG, but Tony is greatly improving and has made his J more reliable. Parker is better on D but they're both average. Bibby is more clutch and can take over games better.I'll say Bibby right now but Parker will have a better career.
Both are great offensive layers.Bibby is a great shooter, he has a quick release and he will nail it over his defender. He is a very precise passer and he runs the Kings offense very well. He is a good leader too and is great in the clutch.Tony Parker may be the quickets guard in the NBA. He has the ability to get past people and into the lane for a layup. He will do that all day on you and there is nothing the defense can do about it. He leads the NBA in post points and he is a point guard! Who was the last guy to do that? He is still pretty inexperienced and Id say that Bibby runs an offense a bit better. Both arent great defenders.I guess I will go with Bibby as well.
I'm going with Parker. The biggest differences is Parker is a high percentage shooter and the better defender. Bibby can hit 3's but doesn't attack as well. Parker is shooting 57% this year against Bibby as well.

Parker is a good defender. Bibby isn't. You could say Bibby is one of the worse defenders in the league at point guard. Doug Christie used to help him out but he is no longer in Sacramento.
No. I wouldnt say that Parker is a good defender. Defense is one of his weak spots, along with shooting.
55% isn't good enough. He is hitting that shot on a regular basis. He does struggle against Billups but who doesn't? Parker is an average defender and Bibby is a poor defender. If Parker is as poor as you say he is than Spurs wouldn't be the best defensive team. Point guard defense is important.
Parker is a better scorer than Bibby. He also has better defense. I had watch the last couple of Spurs games and he deffinately isn't that bad at D. I haven't seen Bibby on D though.
People think Parker is good on D because he's a starter for San Antonio. The truth is that he's average maybe a little sub-par even. That team dominates because even if the PG drives past Tony they're either too scared to go in because Nazr or Duncan are standing there or simply get blocked. Not to mention Bowen who was the best perimeter defender in the L this year.

His fg% is high because he gets most of his points inside where players' convert more frequently on shots. So by your logic, Shaq is the best shooter in the League? . Parker is a brick shooter, cant hit free throws if his life depended on it and has a .306 3 point percentage.

No he doesn't. He is hitting about 50% of those mid range jumpers this year. That makes a good shooter from midrange and a great slasher. 55% is unheard of for a point guard.
Dude. Face it. The guy can not make a jumper consistantly at all. He is a poor long range shooter too.

He is the MVP of San Antonio's offense this year. Bibby shoots 10% less and can't play defense. That is enough to say Parker wins easily.
Dude, shooting is parkers' weakness. Watcyh a Spurs game and you would know. The guy cant shoot. Bibby is the much better shooter, better leader, better playmaker I would say.Also TP falls asleep in the playoffs. I bet that will happen again in this years' playoffs.
Tony Parker is def my pick. the guy is a young player still developing his weaknesses. He was coached by none other than Coach Pop - who is the ultimate teacher. He is a gaurd that had points inthe paint rivaling players like shaq; he is devolping his shot, i've read many articles about this whole process, and how steve kerr was helping him along. He can play defense, he is one of the quickets guards in the league too. Parker is my pick.
