CaptainHook Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) IF the Pistons win the NBA finals, and perhaps Chauncey Billups is named the MVP again, is he the best point guard in the NBA? Is he one of the best point guards in NBA history? Or is he just a good field general on a great team? Kinda like Tom Brady? Something to think about.

Egret Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Tim Duncan is one bad a$$ mother f*cker. 834670[/snapback] Word. Duncan doesn't get nearly the recognition that he deserves. He has been a great player. This should be a very good series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was named MVP last yr by default because the Pistons defense won them the series a yr ago, and Billups clowned the LA point guards. BTW, San Antonio is going to win this series rather easily.

Something to think about. 834509[/snapback] I believe that he will be considered one of the top point guards in NBA history, because all he does is win. He also wins the close games. So what if he doesn't put up the best stats in the NBA. I suppose that some people will say that AI is better because he averaged 30.7 this year. With the talent AI has around him, I could score 30 a game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 With the talent AI has around him, I could score 30 a game!!! 834786[/snapback] Get him on the court and he's trouble, Swash messed around and got a triple double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Billups is definitely a better point guard than Manning. 834770[/snapback] Problem with Manning running the point, he's constantly changing the play call as he brings the ball up court. Causes a lot of shot clock violations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one true superstar is a down to earth guy. Of all the players only Rasheed can be seen as a jerk on occasion - although he is so much better as a teammate than I thought we were getting from Portland. No glitz and glamour in this series. However, very sound fundamental basketball. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as AI is concerned anyone in the NBA can average 30-points a game when you put up 30-shots a game (at least you should be able to). Even mentioning Billups name with the likes of Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Oscar Robertson, Jason Kidd, Isiah Thomas is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pats defense wouldnt have anything to do with the success the past 4 yrs. I suppose Trent Dilfer is also a better QB than Marino because he has a title, and Marino doesnt. When i think of Tom Brady I think of the weakest link on the team, who happens to play QB. Brady gets all the props for the win, when without that defense, Brady would be just another journeyman QB, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is huge, but he has done a very good job managing the offense and playing within his limits (which is more than I can say for most quarterbacks). He's an excellent quarterback. The defense makes his job easier but hasn't completed one pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
