Tony Parker or Chauncey Billups

[Bigsmoke]

Who doesn't?

Tim Duncan is arguably the greatest player at his position in league history. While Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton were great players at that point in their career, winning Finals MVP over a guaranteed first ballot HOF'r is a HUGE achievement and greatly outshines Billups'.

The point isn't winning Finals MVP, it's winning it convincingly over one of the greatest players the game has ever seen.

2004 Lakers >>>> 2007 Cavs

1.) Who has had the better career?

2.) Who is the better player today?

3.) Who was better in their primes?

4.) Are both of them Hall of Famers? Or is only one of them Hall of famers? If so, which one is the one?

1.Parker or equal.Parker has better stas & more rings.He was 2nd or 3rd best player in team though.Billups was leader of his team when they have won.

2.Parker - He had great %FG over Billups this year. same ppg & more apg in much better team.

3.Billups - He was better leader.Better perimeter shooter.Better at assists.Better at clutch.Better at defense.

4.Parker has 3 rings & FMVP.Better car.He deserves more than Billups.

One is a bit overrated and the other one is a bit underrated, you know who's who.

thats a very arbitrary and meaningless criteria. if you want to go that route, you could say the lakers team that billups won his against was a much better opponent than the cavs team parker won his against.

finals mvps are over-rated just like any award thats voted on by a largely lazy and ignorant media (or fans).

anyways, i get that these are the kinds of things people are gonna use to compare "careers", i just think thats a dumb way to compare guys. career paths are HUGELY influenced by chance, why not just compare the two as players? rather than who played more years with a better team and who won x amount of popularity contest all-star games and lazily voted on mvp's

Then you personally don't have to do it.

Fact of the matter is that's the topic of the thread. Reasons for deciding between both players are supposed to be arbitrary, or else the thread wouldn't exist.

[Stuckey]

Parker. He can actually carry a team scoring wise for the most part of a season. He did it in 09

[TheMarkMadsen]

Is it seriously a question if they both will make the HOF? Everybody makes the Basketball HOF, considering their both former FMVP i think its a lock

Outside of Parker's peak (2013 Regular Season), Billups was the better player.
