ou mean his entire career where he actually showed improvement from year to year and finally displayed the consistent talent that we all knew he had since college. Unlike Jamal Crawford, who is in Year 8 of his NBA career and still hasn't found a niche in this league.
Really ? Billups went from Bos-Den-Minny and then to the Pistons and thats when he became consistently good but he stepped into a veteran defensive team with a future defensive mvp on it.Crawford stepped onto a team full of distractions and chaos the last few years.
Im not gonna knock Billups because hes on my fantasy team
and I actually like him but Crawford has improved every year just like Billups and the consistency has been here all year long.
Wow, another strawman argument. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. It's not a quantifiable stat using stats or numbers, but it is a measurable stat based on watching basketball. I could say that Ricky Davis has a higher IQ than Kobe Bryant. By your theory, I would be right since I can't prove it using stats. You are wrong. It's clear as day to anybody who watches basketball other than the Knicks (do you watch any other basketball other than the knicks and bulls?) that Billups has a higher basketball IQ than Crawford. That's not an opinion, that's a fact based on an IMPARTIAL evaluation of each player's career.
You could say Davis has a higher IQ than Kobe and I would want to know what would lead you to believe that.
It shouldn't be clear to anyone because they are not in the same situations.For some odd reason you seem to believe that both of these players are in identical situations thus both teams expect the same things out of them.Crawford is in situations that Billups hasnt had to deal with in years if ever.
