Fresh off a convincing victory over LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, the San Antonio Spurs are the best team in the NBA. They have star power, depth, and the league's top offense and defense since December 1st. 

What they also have is a future so bright it's convinced Tony Parker to stick around longer than he probably would have. Here's more, courtesy of USA Today's Sam Amick:

Coming off a dismal, injury-plagued playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers last season, Parker is playing amazing basketball right now. He's 33 years old and still one of the most efficient guards in the league. 

But guys like Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge make life so much easier for everyone around them, Parker included. Just look at this mind-numbing physical ability:

Why would anyone want to step away from watching plays like that up close on a nightly basis? Parker may not be San Antonio's starting point guard in a few years, but having him around (maybe as the 22-minute per game Sixth Man?) is valuable.

The Spurs will never die.
