Who was the better player, Allen Iverson or Chauncey Billups?

[Orlando Magic]

Allen Iverson.

Iverson if you throw them on a random street court somewhere.

If I'm building a championship caliber team though, I'd take Billups.

Iverson was the better player

Iverson

I always thought Billups was overrated actually, but even if ranked where most people put him AI was still >

This is easily AI! I NEVER UNDERSTAND when superstars get compared to solid All Star types. Superstars should get compared to superstars! These two shouldn't even be compared to begin with. Billups was very good but he was NEVER GREAT! A touch more scoring dominance or passing ability is what stopped him from being a great player. I think a touch more in either category would have made him a great player.

But in the all around sense (scoring, passing, and defense as a package), Billups could arguably be a top 10 PG of all time. After the guys like Walt, GP, Dennis Johnson, CP3, etc., I think Billups name could come up soon.
