If you had a choice between Tony Parker or Chris Paul as your point guard….who would you choose?
According to NBC Sports, President Obama took Parker, according to an excerpt of the new book by Reggie Love who is Obama’s former aide and member of Duke’s 2001 national-championship team.
“I’ll never forget the night I got an email from the future president of the United States consisting only of Tony Parker’s stat line….. I typed an email back to Barack Obama: “Those are good numbers. But it was against a weak team.” Then I added Chris Paul’s stats.”
“It began with that back-and-forth during the 2007 NBA playoffs. Who was going to be right? The debate went on for years. After Paul, a Los Angeles Clippers guard, won the All-Star Game MVP in 2013, Obama reluctantly conceded, though Parker’s collection of four championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs may make the president’s case for him a little better than mine for Paul.”
I’m not a huge Spurs fan but I can somewhat see where the President was coming from; it’s not always about championships but….check the rings. On the contrary Parker has been given a hell of a supporting cast throughout the years so just based off stats I would probably have to lean more towards Chris Paul.
