Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
2014-15 Stats: 14.4 points, 4.9 assists
The San Antonio Spurs are just a completely different team when Tony Parker is 100 percent, or close to that. They’re still good when he’s say 60 or 70 percent, but they turn into this close to unbeatable team when he’s healthy and hitting on all cylinders.
And considering that he’s on a team where he’s the third or fourth best player is scary. Sure, the Spurs might have added LaMarcus Aldridge and David West this summer, not to mention that Kawhi Leonard is only getting better with each passing day, but Parker is the key to this Spurs team winning another NBA Championship.
