Kenny Smith and Hakeem vs Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace
5-year stretch, in their primes, which pair gives you a better shot at winning?

I am not high on The Pistons duo, give me the Rockets duo.
Modern NBA footwork

Re: Kenny Smith and Hakeem vs Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace
I think you gotta go with the Rockets duo because of Hakeem's superstar-level talent. Kenny is the worst of the bunch but it's not like he was a bad player. Chauncey and Ben weren't winning anything without the likes of Sheed/Rip/Tayshaun

Hakeem is just next level. Kenny Smith was a good shooter and solid role player

Re: Kenny Smith and Hakeem vs Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace
Ben and Chauncey were only probably the 2 best players on that team.
Rasheed was the most talented. Tay was the glue. Rip was arguably the 5th best starter, yet he was the leading scorer.
The Pistons didn’t win in the strength of a “duo”, where’s the Rockets (especially in 1994) won on the strength of Hakeem.
So yeah, even as a Piston fan this one’s easy.

I need someone better than Wallace to pair with Billups here. Patrick Ewing probably gets the job done.

Ben Wallace's hair has to count for something.

What flavor?
It’s only disrespectful if you pick the wrong flavor.
