Which??? I think I'm have to go with B-Diddy as he has the best combination of size, strength, quickness, and skills.

The lockout affected them all a little differently, a couple of them went completely stark raving nuts.

Allen Iverson.. Nobody understands just how devastating his handles and lateral movement are.. Its so tough to stick him possession after possession.

I'd go with Baron here. AI is quick and is tough to guard but he would struggle on D against bigger and stronger PG like Baron.

While AI is quick, Baron is also pretty fast and explosive. Plus, he's incredibly strong and can play the post as well.

AI by a mile, it looks like he's dancing when he's dribbling.

It would be AI easy.... but if he misses a layup, and its winner's take out, I think Baron would back him in like he was toliet paper.

I think perimeter game, AI is the toughest guard.

AI. How would you rank these guys? Is Marbury better than Arenas and Billups, one-on-one?

After AI, i'd go with B Diddy, then Arenas, Marbury, and lastly Billups..

Man, Marbury really lost it.. There was a time when i would have picked him #1 on lists like this, even despite not being the best player.. He was still so strong, so quick, athletic, and has a nice J that I couldn't imagine other PGs being able to play him 1on1..

I'd say it's a tie between AI and Baron.

Right now I'd give the edge to Baron.

But I'd give the edge to AI if he was in his prime.

Actually, when I think about it, Starbury could probably destroy the vast vast vast majority of players ever in a one on one game. It's just that he doesn't know how to play on a team. (Sounds like a typical Knicks player)
Still though, Baron and AI would beat him easily.
