Him or Him

[og15]

Its is another forum and it seems fun

You say two people and someone replies who's better and why, then that person writes another 2 other people and so on........ also do not criticize or comment on other people's picks (pm them if you want) just answer the new question and post your own


Ill Start


Steve Francis or Gilrbet Arenas

[Blackwiz]

Steve Francis or Gilrbet Arenas

got say Steve Franchise, look at his ppg over his career, its better, they are pretty even this year, but Steve is helpin his team win, he gets to the hole better, and he's just straight up more exciting to watch



Amare Stoudemire or Kenyon Martin

[the_remix23]

Amare Stoudemire or Kenyon Martin

Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony

[Blackwiz]

Amare Stoudemire or Kenyon Martin

Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony

you were supposed to say why......newayz, ima go wit Melo, his numbers tell the story, yes, Lebron has the numbers and is straight from HS, but Melo is helpin his team win, also, the Nuggets are lookin to get to the Playoffs, and they can't do it without Melo........

Lebron luvas, don't even bother arguin, lets keep this thing goin good



Kobe Bryant(Prime) or Paul Pierce(Prime)

[K Bomber]

Amare Stoudemire or Kenyon Martin

Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony
LeBron -- but both are dynamite, LeBron is just more both now and in the future

Let's test the skills of the board members

Adrian Dantley or Mark Aguirre

[TheGameShutDown]

Adrian Dantley, the most underrated player in the history of the NBA. As an undersized shooting guard, he averaged 30 ppg for three straight seasons. Aguire was good, in fact they were traded for each other, but Dantley is top 50 in my mind.


Gary Payton 1995-96 or Jason Kidd present-day?

[Blackwiz]

Kobe Bryant(Prime) or Paul Pierce(Prime)


bomber, wat u doin............u skipped one :?

[og15]

Gary Payton, he was a better scorer, and a better defender, never average double digits in assists though

Kobe Bryant, he has a more complete game, and he is very good down the stretch, so is Pierce, but Kobe shoots a better percentage.

Carlos Arroyo or Raul Lopez

[ludacris06]

Carlos Arroyo or Raul Lopez

Carlos Arroyo man. He was killin before he had that injury. I haven't even herd that much of him after the injury. Whos Raul Lopez?

Starbury / J Kidd

[Blackwiz]

Starbury / J Kidd

too easy, J.Kidd, he has lead the sorry Nets to the Finals twice in a row, he made players around him better, Starbury may be somewhat as good, but he's definitely not as good, but he has a better shot than j.kidd




Kevin Garnett or Jermaine O'Neal

[TheGameShutDown]

Kevin Garnett. O'Neal's just one step below him in all aspects the way I see it, except maybe post moves.

Isiah Thomas or John Stockton

[ludacris06]

Isiah Thomas or John Stockton

Isiah has 2 rings and John has none. My pick is Isiah.

Ray Allen / Vince Carter

[Blackwiz]

Ray Allen / Vince Carter

Ray Allen gotta better shot and VC has just been injured to much for him to win

Ray Allen


T-Mac or Iverson

[TheGameShutDown]

They're two totally different players but I'd have to take T-Mac. Give him a better supporting cast, maybe one like Iverson's, and they'd be high in the East.

Kevin Johnson or Mark Jackson

[og15]

Kevin Johnson, he was such a high percentage shooter, and a great scorr and passer.

The Baron or Steve Francis

[Blazers_30]

Steve Francis, he's a better passer and has better vision as a PG.

Eddie Jones or Allan Houston

[lllllll23lllllll]

I gotta roll with Eddie Jones on this one. Hes a better defensive player who can make the perimeter shot and drive to the basket with effectiveness. Houston shoots a higher percentage from beyond the arc and when hes hot hes deadly. But i like defense first and Jones has that.




Jamal Mashburn or Glenn Robinson



*23*

[TheGameShutDown]

Mashburn. He can shoot almost as good as Robinson, but also has more to his game. Robinson seems more like a shooter while Monster Mash can get to the lane, using his height advantage and quickness. He's better athlete in my opinion.

Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell

[og15]

Im going with Wilt, the man was just a beast and very dominating, yea Russel was a good defensed and also a great rebounder and player, but Wilt was a much better offensive players and they were both adequate passers


Big O (Oscar Robertson) or Magic Johnson

[Blackwiz]

Big O (Oscar Robertson) or Magic Johnson

gotta go wit Magic Johnson, he just.......well, he's Magic Johnson.....not to take anything from Big O, but it gotta to to Magic.



Michael Jordan(Wizards) or Kobe Bryant(last season)

[TheGameShutDown]

As good as MJ was, lets not get carried away. Kobe owned tore it up last season. I loved watching MJ play, the pumpfakes, the fadeaways, the swat on Nicky V, but he still wasn't the same. He was great, but just not the same. MJ on the Bulls annilhates Kobe but MJ on the Wizards loses by a little.

Patrick Ewing or David Robinson....

[lllllll23lllllll]

Im gonna roll with The Admiral on this one. He missed his first two years due to military service and he still managed to put up heavy numbers in his career. Robinson shot a higher percentage from the field where as Ewing shot too much. Both were dominate in the post but Robinson has an edge over Ewing with the DEE. Both were great shot blockers but Robinson's shot blocking numbers are only off by a little minus those two seasons. Ewing only had one 300+ shot blocking season compared to Robinson's three. Robinson also had a couple of 1000+ rebounding seasons also which Ewing never had, but thats largely due to players like Oakley and others that he played with who were great rebounders also. But most importantly is that Robinson was a champion and perhaps maybe the greatest role model this game has ever had!




**DEFENSIVELY**


Maurice Cheeks or Allen Iverson


*23*

[ludacris06]

**DEFENSIVELY**


Maurice Cheeks or Allen Iverson
*23*

Thats a tough one right there....Ill go with AI.

Chris Webber/ Dirk Nowitzki

[og15]

Webber, its real close because C-Webb is injured all the time, but Webber is a much better all round player and can actually play defense.


Eric Snow or Jamaal Tinsley

[Brankles]

Eric Snow...

Jamaal was lookin like he was gonna be an All-Star, but he kinda dwindled out of the spotlight...

And Eric Snow is the 2nd most underrated PG in the league, next to Sam Cassell...



Shawn Bradley or Gheorge Muresean





Holla

[MagicFan4Lyfe1]

Shawn Bradley cause hes still in the NBA.

Brian Scalabrine or Robert Archibald

and BRANKLES, could u please stop saying snow is underrated he is horrible man. SERIOUSLY

[og15]

Brian Scalabrine, both pretty insignificant players, but Scalabrine is a better offensive player even though Archibald has more hustle.

Jerry Stackhouse or Correy Maggette

[g-unit80744]

Corey Maggette sice he's in the prime of his carrer and Stackhouse has missed most of this season.



Ray Allen or Michael Finley

[TheGameShutDown]

Ray Allen. The second best three point shooter in the L. He's missed most of the season, but he's been playing like an all-star since he came back.

Michael Jordan 1984-1985 or Michael Jordan 1997-1998

[og15]

Ray Allen, he's a better shooter and has become a pretty good passer, he's also a little younger than Finley, but doesn't have the D.

Ahh that's hard

I'll go with 1997-1998, he wasn't as atheletic anymore, but he was a smarter player, and he won a championship


Kenny Thomas or Drew Gooden

[Brankles]

Right now, if I wanted to win a championship, and needed a solid PF, I'd take Kenny Thomas...


Drew Gooden does some goofy stuff, and is horribly inconsistent... Kenny will get you 10 and 10 every game...


Keith Van Horn or Mike Dunleavy





Holla

[alcstarheel]

Keith Van Horn, because all he needs is a little confidence, and he's got the skill.

Mike Bibby or Steve Nash.

ALCS

[MagicFan4Lyfe1]

Steve Nash he's just a better shooter and much quicker in my opinion.

Quentin Richardson or Jason Richardson

[TheGameShutDown]

Q-Rich. Better all around skills in my opinion. Dropped 40-something this year.

Michael Jordan 1984-1985 or Michael Jordan 1997-1998

[Blackwiz]

Michael Jordan 1984-1985 or Michael Jordan 1997-1998


gotta go wit the later won, he's more mature, has more experience in winnin......



Kobe Bryant(last year) or Michael Jordan(sophmore year in NBA)

[TheGameShutDown]

Kobe had a better overally season since MJ was injured for the majority, but Kobe couldn't have dropped 63 on those Celtics, so I'm gonna go with MJ.

Charles Barkley(MVP year) or Karl Malone(MVP year)

[g-unit80744]

Yao Ming or Shaq

[tommyh8687]

Yao Ming or Shaq

shaq. no doubt. id say hes the best player in the NBA. shaq can play for any team and that team will have a good chance of making into the playoffs.

RAY ALLEN VS STOJAKOVIC (w/o cwebb)
in SHOOTING AND AS A LEADER?

[The-Answer]

Peja. Lets try something new...

Larry Brown or Lenny Wilkins ( Remeber he may have the most wins in NBA history but he also has the most L's in the NBA History )

[ludacris06]

Larry Brown or Lenny Wilkins

Larry Brown because every team he caoched went to the playoffs and he doesn't have as many losses as Lenny.

Ben Wallace/ Bill Lambeer

[MagicFan4Lyfe1]

Ben Wallace cause hes better

Drazen Petrovic or Peja Stojakovic

[TheGameShutDown]

Peja. No offense to Petro, but Peja had a better shot and just a better all around game.

Charles Barkley MVP year or Karl Malone MVP year

[tommyh8687]

barkley. malone wit no rings in his like 18th yr in nba or wutever..

BILLUPS vs. MARBURY AS A SCORER

[TheGameShutDown]

Marbury owns. He's the best offensive PG in the league right now.

By the way, Tommy, Barkley never won a ring either.

Muggsy Bogues or Earl Boykins

[Deathskin]

Gotta go with Muggsy. He's a slightly better shooter (not by much) but he destroys him in the assist/turnover department and that's usually the first thing a point guard is measured on.

Ron Artest or Scottie Pippen (in his prime)

[g-unit80744]

Pippen



KG or Duncan

[Brankles]

Duncan. The guy led his team to the Championship twice, almost single-handedly...


Commentary:
Bill "The Moose" Walton or Tom "The Terrible" Tolbert





Holla

[TheGameShutDown]

Basketball-Wise : Bill Walton
Hairstyle-Wise(when they were playing) : Bill Walton
Commentary Wise : Bill Walton

Bill Walton owns...

Yinka Dare or Darrick Martin

[og15]

Darrick Martin, at least he did something.....


Carlos Boozer or Zach Randolph

[Blazers_30]

Zach Randolph, he's much more skilled offensively. He's an all star stuff.

Bobby Jackson or Earl Boykins

[Blackwiz]

Bobby Jackson or Earl Boykins

easy, Bobby got a better shot, a better 3, and he is only a lil bit lower than Boykins with speed, so i give it to bobby.........even though Boykins is an aight point guard


Mike Bibby or Starbury

[K Bomber]

Bobby Jackson or Earl Boykins

easy, Bobby got a better shot, a better 3, and he is only a lil bit lower than Boykins with speed, so i give it to bobby.........even though Boykins is an aight point guard


Mike Bibby or Starbury
I'll take Bibby because he's a much better teammate. Starbury isn't conducive to a team-building concept

Charles Glass or Charles Oakley?

[K Bomber]

Just for fun, I also wanted to throw this one out there

Dennis Rodman or Ben Wallace?

[og15]

Charles Barkely is much better, better offensive player, passer, defender, and rebounder.

Dennis Rodman, because he waas crazy and he studied other players like a mad man. He also never had a coach that tried to involve him in the offense like Ben does now.

Rondald Dupree or Kedrick Brown

[Blackwiz]

Charles Barkely is much better, better offensive player, passer, defender, and rebounder.

Dennis Rodman, because he waas crazy and he studied other players like a mad man. He also never had a coach that tried to involve him in the offense like Ben does now.

Rondald Dupree or Kedrick Brown

who said Charles Barkley?? anywayz, Kedrick Brown


Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony

[TheGameShutDown]

Amare Stoudemire or Kenyon Martin

Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony

you were supposed to say why......newayz, ima go wit Melo, his numbers tell the story, yes, Lebron has the numbers and is straight from HS, but Melo is helpin his team win, also, the Nuggets are lookin to get to the Playoffs, and they can't do it without Melo........

Lebron luvas, don't even bother arguin, lets keep this thing goin good


Nice originality...

Jeff Hornaceck or Hersey Hawkins

[Blazers_30]

[quote=the_remix23]

[b]Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony

Nice originality...

Jeff Hornaceck or Hersey Hawkins

Oooh this a bit a tough, they are both pretty similar skill-wise, not fast, good shooter, and they are part of Jazz and Sonics team that faced the Bulls in mid 90's.
But I would pick Hornacek for his three point accuracy.

Shawn Kemp (Sonics' championship era) or Jermaine O'Neal (current)

[Blackwiz]

[

Shawn Kemp (Sonics' championship era) or Jermaine O'Neal (current)



jermaine o'neal



Iverson now or Starbury now

[SAXMANLA]

hmmm:
john paxson or jeff hornacek
craig hodges or chuck person
cedric ceballos or jr rider

[Blackwiz]

Iverson(2004) or Starbury(2004)



Hey, SAX, u messin it up.....u supposed to answer this one^^, then do ONE of your own

[airlebron23]

Iverson 2004 over Starbury 2004, cuz Iverson is better defensively, and a better scorer even though his fg pctg is lower.



Carmelo Anthony(2008) or Clyde Drexler in 1992?

[K Bomber]

Iverson 2004 over Starbury 2004, cuz Iverson is better defensively, and a better scorer even though his fg pctg is lower.



Carmelo Anthony(2008) or Clyde Drexler in 1992?
Hmmmmmmm, let me consult my little crystal ball...........:shock:

Anyways, how about this one:

Alex English or Reggie Miller

[TheGameShutDown]

Alex. He had a better all around game. Reggie made a living running off screens whille Alex could do much more than that.

For Sax:

Horni was better. He was an all-star once if I remember correctly. Pax gets a lot of recognition for only hitting a few big threes.

Chuck Person. If I remember correctly, he was the man for a few years in Indiana. Hodge was a great shooter, but he's only more known than Chuck because of his three point shooting.

I'd have to take Cedric Ceballos on this one. J.R. had the chance to be great but he messed up his life with drugs. Ceballos was on the lost Lakers, post-Showtime, pre-Shaq/Kobe and he, along with Nicky V and Divac got them to the playoffs.

BTW, Wiz you're supposed to say why. Shawn Kemp owns Jermaine and everyone who has seen him play actually knows that.

Laphonso Ellis or Stace Augmon

[tommyh8687]

augmon because he's sexier. realli i dunno and dun care really barely kno them so ha


reggie miller or ray allen.

[Blackwiz]

reggie miller or ray allen.


definitely Ray Allen, at least right now, he is shooting better.......



Shooting-wise, Peja or Larry Bird

[K Bomber]

reggie miller or ray allen.

definitely Ray Allen, at least right now, he is shooting better.......

Shooting-wise, Peja or Larry Bird
Larry Legend -- watch some old three point contests to really appreciate what he could do

Isiah Thomas or Stephon Marbury

[alcstarheel]

Kudos to K Bomber for correcting my man's name.

Isiah Thomas is the best out of those two, and I say he was the greatest point guard ever. His determination to be the best was only rivaled by his will to win. That's why I will only wear his number.

He's also showing that in New York.

Eddy Curry or Tyson Chandler?

ALCS

[alcstarheel]

And just for fun:

Todd Maculloch or Luc Longley?

ALCS

[K Bomber]

Kudos to K Bomber for correcting my man's name.

Isiah Thomas is the best out of those two, and I say he was the greatest point guard ever. His determination to be the best was only rivaled by his will to win. That's why I will only wear his number.

Eddy Curry or Tyson Chandler?

ALCS
For you the world, man

Remind me to tell you my good Isiah Thomas story sometime

FOr some reason I'm leaning towards Chandler. Last year he sometimes reminded me of Garnett -- both Chandler & Curry have to get a little more Billy Ray Serious, though

World B. Free or Allen Iverson

[tommyh8687]

iverson just cuz he's my favorite player hahahaha..

ben wallace or jermain oneal (DEFENSE AND ONLY DEFENSE)

[Blackwiz]

ben wallace or jermain oneal (DEFENSE AND ONLY DEFENSE)

well, defensively, Ben Wallace


Jermaine O'Neal or Tim Duncan

not wat they did, like Tim goin to the finals, but who is the better player?

[K Bomber]

ben wallace or jermain oneal (DEFENSE AND ONLY DEFENSE)

well, defensively, Ben Wallace


Jermaine O'Neal or Tim Duncan

not wat they did, like Tim goin to the finals, but who is the better player?
Tim Duncan is easily a more complete and accomplished player -- that's why he's been where he's been

Vince Carter or Jerry Stackhouse

[alcstarheel]

Ahhh, the question of the two North Carolina players. I'd have to go with Jerry Stackhouse. Vince has the hops, and he's working on his shot, but Jerry's underrated game consists of scoring, rebounding, and playing defense.

(Props to my girl. She knows more about baskeball than a lot of people.)

Vlade Divac or Arvydas Sabonis.



ALCS

[Deathskin]

Arvydas Sabonis by a long shot. This guy was the european version of Hakeem but by the time he finished his contract obligations and came to the states, his knees were gone and he was a shell of his former self. Divac was a decent center but never had the type of talent that Arvydas had.

Bob Cousy or John Stockton?

[MagicFan4Lyfe1]

alcstarheel plz take off that picture its really ****in me off and no ones ever heard of those scrubs

[og15]

John Stockton, he was a better passer and shot good percentages, you never heard of George Mikan?

Lamond Murray or Morris Peterson

[Anonymous]

Lamond Murray

When given the chance his FG% 3P% and Rebounds Per Game is better than Morris Peterson. Plus Murray is more suitable for the SF position at 6'7" and 236LBS.

Jason Collins or Jarron Collins

[TheGameShutDown]

Jason. He starts...on a better team.

Darrick Martin or Robert Pack

[MagicFan4Lyfe1]

thegameshutdown im sorry man but you give us the boringst players to compare im sorry. and some players i havnt even heard of. wtf how old r u? 50?

[TheGameShutDown]

Well I'm sorry that I know my ****. I bet I'm just as old as most of the people here. What do you expect me to put up there? Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan? Carmelo Anthony or Lebron James? No way. THOSE are boring. How could you not know who Darrick "MVP" Martin is? Not only should this thread test your opinions, but it should also test your knowledge.

By the way, both players are vets in the NBA right now, Darrick is on the T-Wolves while Pack is on the Nuggets.

[yeldarb12]

Zack Randolph or Jermaine O'neal?

[TheGameShutDown]

J.O. Better post moves and better defense. Does what a power forward is supposed to do. He's an absolute best in the East. Way more inside presence, though Zach does have the J.

Darrick Martin or Robert Pack

[yeldarb12]

neather, i hate the nets lol if i had to pick though i would go with pack i dunno why though

[Deathskin]

alcstarheel plz take off that picture its really ****in me off and no ones ever heard of those scrubs

You never heard of Mikan? This guy was the original dominant big man long before the likes of Russell or Chamberlain came to the scene. And those "scrubs" are ALL hall of famers that started the great tradition that the Lakers enjoy even to this day.

[Anonymous]

Jeff Hornacek or Steve Kerr (if both had same amount of playing time)

[og15]

Hornacek, Kerr was so one dimensional it wasn't even funny. Hornacek played 19.5 mpg his first season and averaged 5.3 ppg, 2.3 rpg, and 4.5 apg

Kerr played 21.3 mpg his second season and averaged 6.7 ppg, 1.3 rpg, and 3.2 apg. At least he had his highest assist average year then, and also only had 0.95 turnovers per game. (Hornacek had 1.9 per game)

Anyways:

Josh Howard or Caron Butler

[Anonymous]

I have to say Butler. His overall is better except maybe his inside game and rebounding. Plus Josh Howard shouldn't even be starting at SF, Antawn Jamison should.

Dwyane Wade or Tony Parker

[TheGameShutDown]

Tony Parker. More experience. More leadership. Co-carries his team to victory.

J.J. Redick or Trajan Langdon

[tommyh8687]

Arvydas Sabonis by a long shot. This guy was the european version of Hakeem but by the time he finished his contract obligations and came to the states, his knees were gone and he was a shell of his former self. Divac was a decent center but never had the type of talent that Arvydas had.

Bob Cousy or John Stockton?

cousy. stockton got no ring.

pau gasol vs. shareef abdur-rahim?

[tommyh8687]

thegameshutdown im sorry man but you give us the boringst players to compare im sorry. and some players i havnt even heard of. wtf how old r u? 50?

lol totally agreed wit u on that one.

[TheGameShutDown]

Shareef, though Pau is a rising star and I expect him to surpass Shareef in a few years, though I admire Shareef's consistency on continuously mediocre teams.

J.J. Reddick of Duke or Duke alumni Trajan Langdon

[alcstarheel]

Well since your's seem to get skipped TheGameShutDown, I'll answer it:

I'd say Trajan Langdon. He could actually do something other than shoot. But shouldn't this be NBA related only?

Mike Bibby or Andre Miller.

ALCS

[lllllll23lllllll]

Cmon G.S. i was hoping that someone else would of answered this one by now! :x


I really dont like Duke! Im gonna have to go with Traj cause of what he accomplished and his duration at Duke. Redick actually had a better rookie season statistically and was actually compared to Stanford All-American Casey Jacobsen with "better athleticism" at the time. Redick was a better FT shooter also. Both were deadly from the perimeter (especially 3pt land) and from the stripe. Traj was a 1st Team All-American by Chevy Silverado and NABC in his final season. He made 2nd team by USBWA, AP, and TSN also that year. He was also part of '98 USABW championship team. ACC 1st Team also!! Not to mention he was part of the 95-96 USABJW championship team the year he was a medical redshirt. J.J. is just a nickname cause he was born Jonathan Clay Redick in Cookeville, Tenn. His dad played basketball two seasons at Ohio Wesleyan. His father's background as a stoneware potter led to the middle name "Clay."



I wanna ask this one again out of curiosity.....



DEFENSIVELY


Maurice Cheeks or Allen Iverson


*23*

[lllllll23lllllll]

Man alcstarheel it looks as if you beat me to it. Well i'll just leave my answer and answer yours. Im gonna roll with Bibby cause of his scoring and determination he showed me in the Playoffs in the previous years. I like what Bibby brings to the table as a player. Theres probably less than a handful of pg's in the L right now that i would take over Bibby.





DEFENSIVELY



Maurice Cheeks or Allen Iverson

[TheGameShutDown]

Cmon G.S. i was hoping that someone else would of answered this one by now!

I'm guessing you didn't want to answer it? I wanted to know what knowledge people had of these two, oftenly compared Dookers. I'm glad that you answered though, even including the origin of J.J.'s name.

Anyways...I love how AI anticipates the passing lanes, but Mo Cheeks was better on the ball and more skilled on that end. AI is one of the best at what he does right now, but his on the ball defending is average if not below average. So I'm gonna have to say Mo Cheeks gets this one.

Chris Mullin or Mitch Richmond(M or C of Run TMC)

[K Bomber]

Cmon G.S. i was hoping that someone else would of answered this one by now!

Chris Mullin or Mitch Richmond(M or C of Run TMC)
Richmond. Mullin did well for himself, but in Mitch you're looking at a guy who was arguably the second best SG of his generation next to MJ

Danny Manning or Glen Rice

[ludacris06]

Even though I like both Manning and Rice, Im picking Rice because he's from Michigan and he was killin.

Richard Hamilton / Joe Dumars

[TheGameShutDown]

Joe no doubt. He's a legend and you just can't compare a great like him to Rip Hamilton, who isn't even an all-star.

Rafer Alston or Alvin Williams

[ludacris06]

Rafer, because he has some crazy talent, he just needs to learn how he can play the same way he does on the street in the NBA without all the fancy moves.

Vince Carter / Jerry Stackhouse (entire carrer)

[alcstarheel]

That one was asked a couple of pages ago Luda.

You can look because I answered it. :)

Anyways:

Latrell Sprewell (who has six children; I didn't know that) or Paul Pierce

ALCS

[K Bomber]

That one was asked a couple of pages ago Luda.

You can look because I answered it. :)

Anyways:

Latrell Sprewell (who has six children; I didn't know that) or Paul Pierce

ALCS
Pierce -- more rounded as a player

Latrell Sprewell or Shawn Kemp as a paternity targets

[TheGameShutDown]

Latrell Sprewell. I'm not sure if Kemp's still getting paid but Spree still has a professional job.

Rodney Rogers or Eric Williams

[ludacris06]

Eric Williams because he has a better game overall because everytime I see Rodgers play, he stays out at the perimiter too much.


96 Bulls/ 2000 Lakers

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

96 BULLS GREATEST of ALLTIME..

MJ, PIP, TC, WORM.....

PEJA STOJOKAVIC or DIRK NOWITZKI

dont know if we have done this one.....

[K Bomber]

96 BULLS GREATEST of ALLTIME..

MJ, PIP, TC, WORM.....

PEJA STOJOKAVIC or DIRK NOWITZKI

dont know if we have done this one.....
Dirk, always take the bigger man when all else is relatively equal. Let's test your theory

The 1996 Chicago Bulls or The 1985 LA Lakers

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

The 96 Bulls for me....

Tho that is my second team of alltime.....Magic, Wilks, Cooper, Rambis, Jabbar and Worthy........DAMN!!!!!

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

and i only forgot Bob Macadoo and Byron Scott!!!!

good one K...i stick with my bulls though.....

[ludacris06]

Rasheed Wallace/ Antwan Jamison

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Rasheed Wallace....he just stuck in a rut at PORTLAND....

Jamison is not a winning baller......sheed has been!!!!!!!

LUKE RIDNOUR / DAN DICKAU

[TheGameShutDown]

Ridnour. I thought that Dikau was more impressive in college, but so far, Ridnour's proving himself more succesive in the NBA, though he's a defensive liability.

Flip Murray or Jeff McInnis

[ludacris06]

Ronald Murray because he's a better scorer.

Kenny Smith / Steve Kerr

[lllllll23lllllll]

I gotta go with the Jet on this one. I do believe he would of started on any of those Bulls teams from the 80's and 90's. Kerr was great at clutch shooting but the Jet could do so much more. It also depends on what you're looking for as a team. If i have a potent 1-2-3 punch then Kerr would be my three-point monster when we need him the most. I cant choose over a guy that shot .515 from beyond the arc in over 230+ attempts in '96. Plus i wouldnt be a real Bulls fan if i did....

Im going with Kerr!! :wink:



George Gervin or Dominique Wilkens

[K Bomber]

Dominique -- what can I say, he was the guy we wanted to be in high school.

It wasn't about dunking pretty with him. It was about dunking with power, like an animal, with authority in traffic. The more guys that he'd dunk over, the better

I saw a documentary on his career a few weeks back. Even talking about it years later, you could still see how much being traded from the Atlanta Hawks hurt him as a person -- man, was he a player

Donyell Marshall or Antonio Davis (and you guys better get this one right.....)

[Brankles]

Donyell in my mind, is a much better player than Antonio Davis...

He gets about the same amount of rebounds as Antonio, and can score much easier than Antonio can. He's basically a quicker, more talented version of Antonio Davis.


If you were to build a franchise around him:
TMac or Kobe



Holla

[K Bomber]

McGrady -- a better team mate

For all you Magic fans.......

Emeka Okafor or Dwight Howard


Of course with the way their management runs that team, they'll probably take Pavel Podkolzine if they ever get the top pick in the draft...........

[ludacris06]

Emeka Okafor because I like his rebounding and shotblocking skills. Wait untill he starts scoring....he will be a very very good player.



Lebron James / Michael Jordan (rookie season)

[TheGameShutDown]

Michael Jordan. As good as Lebron is, what rookie seasons were statisticaly good as MJ's in the past two decades?

Gary Payton or Tim Hardway

[Blackwiz]

Gary Payton or Tim Hardway

Im gonna go with GP, he won Defensive Player of the Year, which is rare for small men, he's just better


Allen Iverson(2001:Finals year) or Kobe Bryant(2003-last year, 30ppg)

[ludacris06]

Allen Iverson, no doubt about it. AI carried his team through everything, Injuries, bad nights, or when no one was scoring. That man played so well, that when he was not playing, his team would loose because they were so dependent on AI like some life support machine.

Stephon Marbury / Barron Davis

[og15]

Starbury, he doesn't take stupid shots and is a little better passer.

Andre Miller or Gilbert Arenas

[ludacris06]

I would pick Gilbert even though Andre has a great passing game, but when you need points on the scoreboard, I'd pick Gilbert because he can score and pass.

Brent Barry/ Desmond Mason (dunk contest)

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

D-MASE on this 1.....he is my favorite dunker of ALL-TIME...

he combines the big 3 in dunking like no other...

STYLE
FLAIR
and CREATIVITY....

ZACH RANDOLPH or AMARE STOUDAMIRE

[Blackwiz]

Zach Randolph or Amare Stoudemire


I like Amare better, but Zach is puttin up big numbers, even though he's averagin more minutes



Starbury or Mike Bibby

[K Bomber]

Zach Randolph or Amare Stoudemire


I like Amare better, but Zach is puttin up big numbers, even though he's averagin more minutes



Starbury or Mike Bibby
Bibby. I prefer PG's who are interested in setiing up and managing the offense, not those worried about getting "their's"

Here's two birds of a feather

Stephon Marbury or Baron Davis

[ludacris06]

I think I already had that, but I'd pick Marbury over any point gaurd in the L other than Jason Kidd. This guy can pass the roc and shoot the ball. What more can you want from a point gaurd?

Shawn Marion / Jamal Mashburn

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

I would take Matrix as he can play better D, score in more ways and is a better rebounder.....

Mash better midrange and passer....

CARLOS BOOZER v ERIC DAMPIER

[og15]

Carlos Boozer, he unleashes the beast, he's younger and a better shooter, doesn't have the blocking though.

[K Bomber]

Carlos Boozer, he unleashes the beast, he's younger and a better shooter, doesn't have the blocking though.
Pssssst, OG, you didn't drop in two new names.......

[og15]

Oppss



Mike Dunleavy or Joe Johnson

[g-unit80744]

Oppss



Mike Dunleavy or Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson.

Dunk Constest

JRich or Fred Jones

[ut_jazz]

J-rich easily.. the guy keeps improving as each year goes by.

Sam Cassell or Stephon Marbury

[K Bomber]

J-rich easily.. the guy keeps improving as each year goes by.

Sam Cassell or Stephon Marbury
Cassell, he's already delivered a team to the NBA Championship. Marbury has never and will never see the top of the heap as a victim of his own ego

Andrew Toney or Hersey Hawkins

[StrikeThree]

Oppss



Mike Dunleavy or Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson

[Penny]

marbury is the 2nd best pg in da league
ppl may say he selfish when he played wit nets

he averages 8 asst ova career
this year 2nd in nba wit assits behind kidd

he has dished out the most assits this year by one player in one game 17 he cant be playin slefish when he has clearly matured n chagned his game

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

PAUL PEIRCE or VINCE CARTER

[g-unit80744]

Carter

Andre Miller or Jason Terry

[Mariners in 2006]

Andre Miller, the kid can pass...

Better Rebounder...
Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman?

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Dennis Rodman.....best rebounder ever

DAMON JONES (milwaukee) V KEYON DOOLING (clippers)

both playing well right now...

[Penny]

damon jones how many come come in n have a 17 assist game replacing ford?

[Markus]

Penny you did not list 2 players, so I will:

Dr. J or Ben Wallace (Afro-wise)

[K Bomber]

Penny you did not list 2 players, so I will:

Dr. J or Ben Wallace (Afro-wise)
Dr. J -- always give it up for the original

Detlef Schrempf or Mike Dunleavy

[TheGameShutDown]

Schrempf. One of the best small forwards of the 90s believe it or not. This guy was an all-star one or two years and was extremely versatile.

Tyrone Hill(Mid-90s) or Antonio Davis

[ut_jazz]

Ty hill

Mike James or kirk hinrich

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Kirk Hinrich has shown he is much better than james.....even as a ROOKIE...

DREW GOODEN or TAY PRINCE

[alcstarheel]

Tayshaun.

He can play defense.

Craftier passer, Jason Williams (a.k.a. "White Boy") or Jason Kidd?

ALCS

[Penny]

jay williams he had some really ice ones in sac town

penny or hill?

[courtside]

penny or hill thats a tuff one...hmmm.

have to give this one to hill. the man makes basketball look so effortless before he kept getting injured. i would have picked penny but he missed out on alot of opportunities to win championships if only he and shaq could get along long enough to win a couple.

almost forgot...eddie jones or jamal mashburn?

[Penny]

too easy jamal
great great player
n will keep gettin better as he ages

karl malone or chris webber

[Mariners in 2006]

Karl Malone...Will become all-time points leader soon...

Which one hates the refs more
Rasheed Wallace or Dennis Rodman?

[Penny]

rasheed cause rodman knowshe does worng n sheed thinks he does nothin wrong


wilkens or clyde ?

[Freddy Foxxx]

That's a good one! I have to go with The Glide cause he was more of a complete player, but it's close. 'Nique should have been selected to NBA's top 50!! Kevin Mchale(prime) or Kevin Garnett(now).

[g-unit80744]

That's a good one! I have to go with The Glide cause he was more of a complete player, but it's close. 'Nique should have been selected to NBA's top 50!! Kevin Mchale(prime) or Kevin Garnett(now).

kevin Garrnet now because hes going to win the MVP and he is the t'wolves franchise player for the last couple of years.

John Stockton or Gary Payton

[TheGameShutDown]

As much as I hate to say this, John Stockton was the better point guard. He's a coach's dream and made everyone he played around better. He's probably one of the most fundmentally-sound players ever. Gary Payton, while probably being the best 2-way point guard ever, just didn't have the playmaking skills of Stock.

Shawn Kemp(95-96) or Amare Stoudamire(however you see him in his prime)

[courtside]

have to go with the rainman. because whened it rained it poured.

earl boykins or mugsy bogues

[Penny]

bogues
he is alot bettr than earl
even though bogues cant bench press 300lbs
still better player, he was a better Defender

n for the record kg was also better i recon
8)
alsow as stockton the best pg of all nba history

hakeem or ewing :?:

[TheGameShutDown]

Hakeem by a longshot. Hakeem was better than Shaq. He had an amazing repetoire of moves and could play with his face or his back to the basket. Not only that, but he was one of the premiere shotblockers of the 90s.

T.J. Ford or Gary Payton rookie season(check the stats and the similarites)

[g-unit80744]

Hakeem by a longshot. Hakeem was better than Shaq. He had an amazing repetoire of moves and could play with his face or his back to the basket. Not only that, but he was one of the premiere shotblockers of the 90s.

T.J. Ford or Gary Payton rookie season(check the stats and the similarites)

Problaby Payton since Ford was injured earlier this season.

Lamar Odom or Lamar Odom or Zach Randoplh

[Penny]

odom odom odom

he is so good
u cant tell cuase he has only jst got ova his injuries

but man he is triple double threat

great player
zach also good but i say odom
tj as a rookie is better

at their peaks penny, or tim haradway

[g-unit80744]

odom odom odom

he is so good
u cant tell cuase he has only jst got ova his injuries

but man he is triple double threat

great player
zach also good but i say odom
tj as a rookie is better

at their peaks penny, or tim haradway

Its close but i'd say Hardaway he went for a long time scoring a lot of points.

Carlos Boozer or Zydrunas Ilgalskus

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Carlos Boozer as Zydrunas has had his chances and had too many injuries....

Boozer could be the next Ben Wallace with a bit more work on the defensive end.....PLUS he can score....

DIRK NOWITZKI or CHRIS WEBBER

[Penny]

chris
dirk doesnt score much more, doesnt pass as good, doesnt D up as good
get the picture
webber!

better rebounder charles oakley or horace grant :?: :wink:

[Freddy Foxxx]

I think Oakley won 1 or 2 rebounding tittles with the Bulls. Plus half of what he does dosen't show up in the box score, so I gotta go with the Oak-man!! Kwame Brown or Eddy Curry??

[Penny]

brown is gettin better
but i will go wit curry he has good size n knows how to use

better role player

kerr or horry :?:

[g-unit80744]

brown is gettin better
but i will go wit curry he has good size n knows how to use

better role player

kerr or horry :?:

horry since he always came in in a clutch when his team needed him.

Jameer Nelson or Ben Gordon :?:

[ut_jazz]

Jammeer Nelson

Zach Randolph or Rasheed Wallace

[courtside]

randolph because he's the man and rasheed was the man.

who was the better backup guard?
bobby jackson or van exel (when he was in dallas)

[ut_jazz]

I'd have to say Bobby J because he makes a much higher percentage of the shots he takes.

Marcus Camby or Theo Ratliff

[g-unit80744]

I'd have to say Bobby J because he makes a much higher percentage of the shots he takes.

Marcus Camby or Theo Ratliff

Ratliff, he has been playing good latley and Camby is injured too much.

Speedy Claxton or Earl Boykins

and for WWE fans Goldberg or Kane

[courtside]

speedy because he was one of the main reasons the spurs won a championship last year.

stockton, horniceck, and malone or price, ehlo, and daughtry?
i know we supose to compare one set of players but im curious.

[TheGameShutDown]

They were both hurt deeply by MJ, but the Jazz were hurt by him while fighting for a ring. They get my vote. Plus they're just more talented.

Allan Houston or Ron Harper(pre-Chicago)

[Penny]

allan he good shooter :)

corey maggette or ricky davis :?:

[g-unit80744]

allan he good shooter :)

corey maggette or ricky davis :?:

corey maggette

Michael Redd or Gilbert Areans?

[Mariners in 2006]

Good one, I would say Redd, he is the better player and is the team leader...Arenas has Stack, Hughes and Kwame

Better 3-point shooter...
Ray Allen or Allan Houston

[Penny]

satck hasnt played much
i like arenas but wow good one sooo soo close :wink:

RAY ALLEN by FAR
he alot betetr
better D, shooter evrythin

jamal tinsley or Caron Butler :?:

[ut_jazz]

speedy because he was one of the main reasons the spurs won a championship last year.

stockton, horniceck, and malone or price, ehlo, and daughtry?
i know we supose to compare one set of players but im curious.
malone could take on all three :lol:

[ut_jazz]

jamal tinsley or Caron Butler :?:
i say tinsley cause he can pass

Steve Nash or Stephon Marbury

[courtside]

starbury because he can dunk on nash.

scottie pippen (in his prime) or kobe byrant?

[Mariners in 2006]

I say Kobe, but thats a question you should ask Phil Jackson...

McGrady or Carter?

[K Bomber]

I say Kobe, but thats a question you should ask Phil Jackson...

McGrady or Carter?
McGrady, he's surpassed VC

G-Unit: Kane -- Goldberg is a wanker

Vinnie Johnson or Earl Boykins

[Freddy Foxxx]

Gotta go with the Microwave, he's probably one of the best to come off yhe bench ever! AK-47 or Ron Artest?????

[ut_jazz]

Ak-47. He's been blocking a ton of shots lately. Fantasy Basketball owner's dream player.
Baron Davis or Tracy Mcgrady

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

ummm....this ones a NO BRAINER

TMIZZLE anyday.....

ALLAN HOUSTON or MICHEAL REDD

[TheGameShutDown]

Michael Redd is a little more streaky when it comes to shooting, but he's got better overall skills. Also, he doesn't have a $100 million contract with his total package. Houstons been down and out for a few years too.

Defensively:

Scottie Pippen or Michael Jordan

[K Bomber]

Michael Redd is a little more streaky when it comes to shooting, but he's got better overall skills. Also, he doesn't have a $100 million contract with his total package. Houstons been down and out for a few years too.

Defensively:

Scottie Pippen or Michael Jordan
Jordan, even if you consider their skills equal, which I don't, Jordan had much wider latitude with the refs and got away with more as a result

A lot of the zebras didn't like Scottie Pippen

Larry Bird or Dirk Nowitzki

[courtside]

"brrrrrrrrr what happened to that boy"....bird all the way. bird did everything. dirks not even close yet.

who looked more sleepy?
tracy mcrady or sam perkins

[K Bomber]

"brrrrrrrrr what happened to that boy"....bird all the way. bird did everything. dirks not even close yet.

who looked more sleepy?
tracy mcrady or sam perkins
Not inferring anything here, but I don't think Sam was sleepy

[courtside]

xavier mcdaniel or james worthy

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

James had a much better career.....aND JUST HAD THE WHOLE PACKAGE...x WAS MY MAN BUT HE SUCKED OFFENSIVELY...




John Paxson or Steve Kerr

[alcstarheel]

John Paxson, because I went to his summer shooting camp in high school (which was a lot of fun; I have his autograph too!). But really because he actually got to play.

B.J. Armstrong or Derek Fisher?

ALCS

[Penny]

derek
how well did he play in lakers repeati think it was

robinson or ewing?

[ut_jazz]

Ewing

Chris Webber or Elton Brand

[Freddy Foxxx]

That's an insult...C-Webb might be in the HOF someday, Brand is......well he's just Elton Brand!! Marbury or Tiny Archibald??????

[TheGameShutDown]

derek
how well did he play in lakers repeati think it was

That's just awful. You can't possibly put Derek Fisher, who's a shooting guard in a point guard's body over a one-time all-star in the B.J. Armstrong. Learn your facts man before you answer because that one was just completely wrong.

[Freddy Foxxx]

derek

That's just awful. You can't possibly put Derek Fisher, who's a shooting guard in a point guard's body over a one-time all-star in the B.J. Armstrong. Learn your facts man before you answer because that one was just completely wrong. No, that's just his opinion. We are talking about two role players on championship teams, and did you say one-time all-star??Anyways, let's keep this going! Marbury or Tiny Archibald??

[Markus]

Archibald by a hair, but if Marbury plays like this or close to it for a couple of more years AND he leads his team deeper into the play offs or wins a championship then MAYBE I would pick Marbury (but I doubt it).

Can we do a 3-way?

Tom Chambers - Xavier McDaniel - Dale Ellis

[Freddy Foxxx]

That's a good one! They all played for the Sonics at one point and dind'n really get along! Chambers went on to have a very productive carrer with the Suns sciring over 70 in one game, so I have to pick him with the X-man comimg in second. He's gotta be one of the toughest players the NBA has ever seen. But I gotta go with Chambers! You wanna go 80's, o.k how 'bout Alex English or Bernard King??

[ut_jazz]

English
since we're going 80's now:
Clyde Drexler or World B. Free

[K Bomber]

English
since we're going 80's now:
Clyde Drexler or World B. Free
Drexler

Charles Oakley or Michael Cage

[ut_jazz]

Oakley

Dominique Wilkins or Larry Bird

[K Bomber]

Oakley

Dominique Wilkins or Larry Bird
Bird -- see their classic fourth quarter duel in '88

Mark Aguire or Adrian Dantley

[Freddy Foxxx]

Well the Pistons weren't able to win the Championship until they traded Dantley for Aguire, so I gotta say Aguire.Also can people stop comparing Bird to people that weren't even in his class. I can understand 'Nique(not really) but I think someone said Nowitzki. Please! Anyways, Mugsy Bogues or Spud Webb??

[K Bomber]

Well the Pistons weren't able to win the Championship until they traded Dantley for Aguire, so I gotta say Aguire.Also can people stop comparing Bird to people that weren't even in his class. I can understand 'Nique(not really) but I think someone said Nowitzki. Please! Anyways, Mugsy Bogues or Spud Webb??
Larry Bird Career:
24.3ppg, 10.0rpg & 6.3ast

Nowitzki's Last three Seasons:
23.4ppg, 9.7rpg, & 2.3ast

Same league...........

[Markus]

Mugsy Bogues or Spud Webb

Bogues - He was more than a short gimmick and racked up a ton of assists. But mainly he was great on the SNL hosted by Charles Barkley.

Antoine Walker or Antawn Jamison?

P.S. Why does Walker always look like he is about to cry?

[K Bomber]

P.S. Why does Walker always look like he is about to cry?
Briefs, not boxers..............

[Freddy Foxxx]

Larry Bird Career:
24.3ppg, 10.0rpg & 6.3ast

Nowitzki's Last three Seasons:
23.4ppg, 9.7rpg, & 2.3ast

Same league........... You can honesly sit there and say Nowitzki and Bird are in the same class, regardless of stats. If so I have no reply!Anyways let's keep this going..... Walker......Kirk Heinrich or Jamal Crawford??

[ut_jazz]

Crawford, the guy has got mad skills.

Darrel Armstrong or Speedy Claxton

[TheGameShutDown]

I'd take Armstrong over Speedy right now. He provides great emotion to any team and is a great spark off the bench. Though he's on the bottom half of his career, he's a great leader and any team would be lucky to have him.

George Lynch or Stacey Augmon

[Freddy Foxxx]

I don't know man! I'm still mad about the whole Nowitzki/Bird thing! The nerve......No but seriously I gotta go with Armstrong, I think he's more clutch, but it's close! O.k my turn, Bird or Nowit.... eh I mean Chuck Person or Wesley Person??

[Mariners in 2006]

I don't know man! I'm still mad about the whole Nowitzki/Bird thing! The nerve......No but seriously I gotta go with Armstrong, I think he's more clutch, but it's close! O.k my turn, Bird or Nowit.... eh I mean Chuck Person or Wesley Person??

You forgot to pick between Augmon and Lynch, so I will for you...Augmon because of his days with the Blazers...and Weslsy Person, not because of his days with the Blazers, but because of his shot, its much better than Chucks...

Better shot blocker...
Theo Ratliff or Ben Wallace

[courtside]

Big Ben...he might not be a model but he makes a great role model. :shock:

hmmm...how about chris mullin or detlef schrimf

[og15]

I'd take Bird over Nowitzki b/c he's a much better passer and shooter, Dirk is a good shooter but he's not as good as Bird or as good as people make him out to be.

Bird also wasn't 7'0 and was a better rebounder and he's a much better defender, Bird could actually play D.



Theo Ratliff is definatley the better shot blocker, I think I mentioned it in another post, Ratliff is averaging more blocks while playing less minutes. Also if you watch Ratliff play, he doen't just throw the ball away when he blocks, he tries to retain possession a lot and also gets a lot of the 2 handed blocks.

Even if you want to bring in stats for this year:

Ratliff: 7.1 blocks per 48 mins, 2.65 blocks per foul, Ratliffs Block% is 8.8, Ratliff's block rating is 24.7

Ben: 3.9 blocks per 48 mins, 2.63 blocks per foul, Bens block % is 5.1, Ben's block rating is 12.7


Chris Mullin (you changed it)

Zach Randolph or Shareef Abdur Rahim

[Freddy Foxxx]

Ratliff 'cause he gets more clean blocks,Wallace gets alot of his blocks from the weakside! O.K Bird or Nowit... eh there I go again. O.K purer shooter Reggie Miller(prime) or Peja(now)???

[courtside]

yeah my bad i changed it. next time ill get it right the first time :shock:

im a fan of reggie so ill have to say my man reggie. what other shooting guard can trick you into fouling him and play mental games to mess with your performance. he's a chess player.

3d or dale elis

[Mariners in 2006]

I'd take Bird over Nowitzki b/c he's a much better passer and shooter, Dirk is a good shooter but he's not as good as Bird or as good as people make him out to be.

Chris Mullin (you changed it)

Zach Randolph or Shareef Abdur Rahim

I agree with you on Theo and have to go with Zach Randolph now, but Shareef in the past...Shareef barely made the All-star team in the East, and Randolph was so close to making it in the West...Which one is harder to make if you are a power forward...Zach is my choice and I hope the Blazers dont trade him away like they did Jermaine O'neal

[Freddy Foxxx]

yeah my bad i changed it. next time ill get it right the first time :shock:

im a fan of reggie so ill have to say my man reggie. what other shooting guard can trick you into fouling him and play mental games to mess with your performance. he's a chess player.

3d was dennis scott and i made change while og was replying so i appologized.

[Freddy Foxxx]

Oh! Yeah, Yeah 3D, I definatly gotta go with Dale Ellis he had way more facets to his game.His career stats are much higher than Scott,I think! The year Scott broke the 3pt record was when the line was closer so that don't count in my books! O.K Isiah or Jason Kidd??That not really a good one but I was rushed.

[alcstarheel]

I go with Isiah. He had a determination rivaled only by Michael, in my eyes. Maybe even more so. But if you really don't know why, read this:

Isiah Thomas' Bio (http://www.nba.com/history/players/thomas_bio.html)

That's why I wear his number.

Defensively, Ron Artest or Bruce Bowen (when he's not dirty)?

bill russell of wilt :?: Anytime Penny! I gotta go with Russell 'cause even though Wilt had better stats, Russell would always beat him when it counted: NBA Finals!! Ricky Davis or Desmond Mason??

[Penny]

sweet

that a good one both as good as each other
but i will go wit ricky
though both have enormous potential
i think ricky has more
when they challenege him to play D, or score, he always comes up wit the numbers, if he gets his head right he will b a better baller, but them 2 my fav dunkers, i like em both but ricky will b better
now --- mayb ... dnt know too clse (ricky again i guess) :?

wow dat was a good one very close!

marion or rashard lewis?

[og15]

Marion for sure, better rebounder and defender, and he's just sick, Matrix baby!!!!

Rashard is the better shooter and is em taller, but thats about all.


Richie Frahm or Kyle Korver (not shooter, everything)

[g-unit80744]

Kyle Krover. He has height and a nice shot.

Jerry West or James Worthy

[ut_jazz]

Jerry West was a lot better.

Charles Barkley or Patrick Ewing

[Trusow]

Yeah of course, no other possible answer.

[og15]

Huh? You didn't post a new one.

Wilt or Kareem

[Penny]

i like kareem
i know wilt averged 50 ppg in a season
but would prefer kareem
better role model, locker, n all the rest,
but too clsoe for others

francis or marbury

[Trusow]

Wilt Chamberlain is the best ever. To me any wayz.

[Penny]

gotta put players down dude.

i will i guess to keep it goin

vlade or arvedis saybonis (name is spelt wrong i am very sure) :?

[ut_jazz]

Vlade.

amare stoudemire or carlos boozer

[Penny]

amare easily
he can b very good

franchise or b diddy :?:

[TheGameShutDown]

amare easily
he can b very good

franchise or b diddy :?:

How many times have we done this one?

Davis is better. He has less an attitude as Stevie and is much more suited for his position. Francis is still an explosive 2 guard in a 6'3" body.

Steve Kerr or J.J. Redick

[Markus]

Gotta go with the Pro over the amateur every time, so Kerr. Even though he is a bit one sided, it is hard to ignore the rings and the fact that he is the all time 3-point percent leader. Besides, J.J. might never even play in the NBA, and if he does it is hard to say if he will ever do anything. Finally, there are plenty of people from other schools or from Duke that have had as good or better college careers.

Jeff Van Gundy or Stan Van Gundy

[Penny]

jeff
stan got lucky wit players like odom, wade, n butler all of a sudden there and healthy

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Ostertag....UGGHHH!!!

Magic Johnson or Larry Bird

[TheGameShutDown]

Lol you guys, whatever happend to giving your reasons. You might wanna put some insight into your post.

Anyways...

I'm gonna go with Magic. Before there was Michael Jordan, there was Magic Johnson. He was the G.O.A.T. of the 80s in my mind. Before there was Kevin Garnett, Grant Hill, or Lebron James, there was Magic Johnson. This guy really could play all 5 positions, and could even dominate some.

James Worthy IN COLLEGE or Michael Jordan IN COLLEGE?

[Penny]

jordan
though a close one jordan was a better player

erick dampier or theo ratliff

Jay Will. Not to knock Kidd, but Williams makes(or made) a living by doing fancy passes. That was what he was known for. And even though he's matured as a player since, he was still the first player I've seen do the elbow pass in an NBA event.

Dennis Rodman(80s not 90s) or Ron Artest

[Penny]

well artest hadnt played much in 90's only late 90o's n rodman was really good in ealy 90's
i would go wit rodman, when u can rebound they way he does, u can sub out a guy like artest wit bowen, not amny like rodman, n plus u will sell tickets
so rodman, but different times n players

shareef or marion :?:

[ANGELFUNK & TMAC]

Marion brings more to the game tyhan shareef...

Marion a much better ball player....

DWAYNE WADE or JASON TERRY

[Penny]

right now terry is good
he may be more un-noticed but he can soemtimes put up a triple

he can shoot better, play better d, 3's, but wade quicker n stronger
but aint as good


jst one more thing i wouldnt say marion is a much better baller

shawn has never averaged 20 10 like reef
reef shoots a little better
n scores more

but i would agree marion only cause he can b better

t mac or kobe (not sure if it has been done b4)

More Creative Passer...
Jason Kidd or Jason Williams
And from page 10...Craftier passer, Jason Williams (a.k.a. "White Boy") or Jason Kidd?

We should try not to repeat other comparisons(no offense mariners_in_2004, you probably didn't know). Then it would just become a loop, saying the same old names over again.

Better at their position/compared to their peers:

Damon Stoudamire or Amare Stoudemire

Sorry about that, this topic fills up so fast, I cant read them all fast enough...

[Mariners in 2006]

Better at their position/compared to their peers:

Damon Stoudamire or Amare Stoudemire

Thats a hard one. Damon can handle the Weed better and Amare can handle the ball better, so I say Amare...

Although Damon's rookie year and (prior joining the blazers and getting blazed) he did better than Amare...Damon is cleaning his act up now though :D

Amare Stoudamire or Yao Ming?

Amare Stoudamire or Yao Ming?
Yao -- go big or go home, he has more upside and he's 7 and a half feet tall. Probably only og15 will want to get this one, but I'll throw it out there.........

Kevin O'Neill or Glen Grunwald
