It baffles me how the Spurs continue to fall under the radar year after year while still having a collection of some of the best players in the league combined with their consistent success in the playoffs. Nonetheless, their name is constantly left out of the Finals discussion every year. What’s interesting about Tony Parker, is that, on paper, he is the least attractive player on this entire list, but the leader of this veteran-clogged and cunningly savvy team definitely deserves a spot on this list. So far this season TP has averaged 18.3 points and 6.3 per game. He leads all points guards in shooting percentage, putting up 54.1 percent. While Parker is getting older (31), it seems like anyone that has Spurs across their chest is impervious to aging (just ask Tim Duncan). Parker has been one of the league’s best point guards since entering the league 12 years ago. As long as he’s healthy, he has a spot on this list. Tony Parker comes in at No. 19.
