I think you may be right. I'm calling in help.

spree Billups top ranked point in the NBA (I'd thought it was just the East). I know these ranking are bullshit, but so is your argument style.

Because McGrady is one of the top 5 players in the league.

Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Ben Wallace, Kidd, wait... oh, I know Ben doesn't score much- bounce him.

You've said absolutely nothing (again). I'm not arguing over who has the better team. Why are you so dense about this? We're talking about whether it would be smart to pick Billups over McGrady. I defy you to find one other person who thinks that is a good idea.
|
My point was that it depends on where you team is, who would be the better choice. This isn't an objective thing.

Kidd and Billups aren't on the same level either. Kidd is a point guard that makes his team better with [key word coming up:] assists. Billups is apparently great because the ball touches everyone else's hands a whole bunch.

I was making what's called a parellel argument to answer your's. I'd take Michael over Paxton, but then I mention Kidd not to compare to Billups, but to show your argument wan't really fair. FWIW, I would take Kidd over Billups.

Michael and McGrady (at this point in their careers can be compared). But I'm guessing an answer that makes sense isn't what you're looking for.

Thurgreed tribute argument...You've just showed there's no point talking to you. Michael willed his team to get in shape to win. McGrady will have to buy any rings he wears. You should buy a helmet. ...blah blah blah....

*18.3 is his career high. Before that it was more like 13 points per.

Point guards grow up slow. He hadn't gotten the chance to play much until he hit Detroit.

And if you think you can go from a sub-20 point a night player to a 24 or 25 point a night player because you're saddled with a shittier shooting guard (i) you've never even fucking played basketball

What I want to say is:
As to my abilities, anyone who ever has played much at any level know you can't call out a person's talent based upon anything other than seeing him play. so My basketball instinct tells me you ain't played much.
But since you've not played much, you wouldn't get that.
So instead I'll just say:
Fuck that! It's January, let's compare the amounts on our W-2's for playing basketball last year. I know I at least tied your ass.
