Baron Davis vs. Chauncey Billups

^ He probably meant that Rip, Sheed, Prince, and Big Ben, when he had him, were a great cast that were good on both ways and were all all star caliber players.

He said Billups team has "many superstars". Nobody short of KG, Bron, Howard, or Kobe should be called superstars.

How about Duncan, Wade, or Nash?

Isaiah Thomas?

After adjusting for pace, Isiah averaged just 19.0 and 19.3 points per 40 in their two championship seasons. Billups and Davis both average about 21.5 (pace adjusted per 40).

The idea that Isiah was a superstar leading his team to the finals a la Bird or Magic is a myth. Isiah's superstar days were behind him by the time Detroit was a title contender. Isiah was just one of an ensemble cast (much like Billups with the Pistons). Yes, he took a lot of the big shots, but he arguably wasn't even the best player on his team. Dumars was. Dumars posted a better PER while being one of the all-time great defenders at his position.
