Parker the guy is more consistent.

Billups was slightly better this regular season.

Parker is having a much better playoffs thus far.

You could really make arguments either way... both top 5 PG's with Nash, Paul, and Williams.

Right now I'd still take Billups because I think he is the better all-around player. Parker is a fabulous scorer/finisher but I feel he doesn't bring much else to the table compared to Billups.

Billups is overrated. He was absolutely dismal in his series against Cleveland and against Philly. He lost Game 1 for his team at the line, a rep that he is supposed to live up to. Switch Parker with Billups and the series would be much closer. Parker's penetration is so vital to our team's success against Phoenix. Billups can't replicate that.

both suck and are overrated because of 2 stupid mvp's not deserved.

No. Billups won it by default. Parker was the best player on the court.

Put a big guard on Billups and he turns into a jump shooter. Billups is still the better defender, but he isn't anymore of a playmaker than Parker. At this point in their careers Parker is the superior offensive player and the better overall player.

And Calderon is better that all the point guards in the NBA

Billups used to be better. Now it's Parker.

Chaunceys reputation for making big shots is vastly overstated. He's actually had just as many bad playoff series as good ones. People forget how putrid he was, for example, in the '04 ECF and 2nd round previous to his Finals MVP. His performance against Cleveland and Philly isn't *that* much of an aberration.

Parker used to disappear in the post-season, but his last couple years that has obviously changed.

Billups is the better all-around player and generally is the better fit at PG.

Tony Parker's more consistent and better as a scorer, is at least an adequate defender, at best a solid defender, has improved his facilitating this season.

Tough to say, hehe
