See, this is where using team achievements is absolutely silly.

In 07, Parker had a season-long RAPM (regression-based stat that doesn't use box-score data) of 0.4, good for 79th in the entire NBA (so pretty average).

Whole season considered, and even if you just look at the Playoffs, Parker clearly wasn't his team's best player. Duncan had the best RAPM in the entire NBA by a wide margin. He beat Tony in Playoff PPG, RPG, BPG, FG%, TS%, PER, WS, WS/48, Box +/-, Net Rating. Literally everything but Steals and Assists (and he wasn't even far behind in those fields).

So because Parker beat up a hobbled Eric Snow and a rookie Boobie Gibson, he's a superstar? It's not like he was overwhelmingly dominant in those Finals; he put up a 24/5/3 on .595 TS%, with horrible defense and an inability to close (look at games 3 and 4, the close closeout games. It was Duncan who came through in the 4th of both games).

Wanna know what Parker's advanced production was on last year's title team (where you say "everything" hinged on him and he performed like a superstar)?

8th in team PER (terrible)

12th in TS% (terrible)

8th in WS (terrible)

13th in WS/48 (absurdly bad, the only player who finished behind him was Austin Daye)

12th in Box +/- (terrible)

-5.3 Net Rating (the Spurs performed better with Parker on the bench, remember Pop benching him in game 6 against OKC because of how useless he was)

This is the guy who the Spurs rely on to perform well to win? The reality is, Duncan has been better than Parker almost every year of his career (2013 is the exception). Last year Kawhi, Duncan and Manu were all easily better than Parker in the Playoffs.

Outside of this year (and even that's arguably), Chris Paul has had to be his team's best player every season.

Again, using team accomplishments for something like this is pretty dumb. Parker got carried to a WCF in his second season, so to you he proved he could do it? No way does that make sense.
