Runoff Vote: Elvin Hayes
Scoring, rebounding, and defense vs. passing, shooting, and smarts. Very different players who I think would probably work very well together. I think Billups might be better at his peak, but Hayes has a rather strong longevity edge, and Billups wasn't enough of a creative monster to bypass that.

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

I'll vote for Chauncey Billups.
Hayes no longer has the advantage of integrating his talent into multiple contenders as he had over Iverson, and Billups did not have any conflicts that worked to the detriment of his team. Great playoff performer and an impressive prime for someone who took awhile to break out.
