Jordan Schultz: Thunder vs. Spurs Comes Down To Westbrook vs. Parker

2012-05-22T13:50:45Z

While Parker doesn't have the sheer athletic ability of his counterpart, his ability to get into the lane and finish below the rim with his patented floaters and leaners is remarkable. No point guard in basketball has a better "paint game."
