Tony Parker: Reinventing the point guard position.

Tony Parker is an older player. He's known for his quick ball handiling, sharp passes, and precision shots. Like most guards. And sure, he's no average guard. He' s just at a superb level. But leaving that aside,  He doesn't stick to the three dimensions of a point guard: Passing, outside shooting, ball control. No, Tony Parker adds a new, underrated level to his game: the paint.

Just watching one game Tony Parker's in, and you can see him twisting and flipping inside the paint, laying-up a shot that seemed impossible in the face of  a big man. Much like Russel Westbrook, Tony Parker has a more discreet wild side that can dominate the inside. Just yesterday, as the Spurs were demolishing the Thunder, Tony slipped past Eric Kanter and Steven Adams and lobbed in a fantastic shot. Left handed, right handed, both hands, backwards, forwards... with the greats, it doesn't matter. In other words, with Tony Parker it doesn't matter.
