It’s a tie that can’t be broken.

I trust Fox in more situations, Sabonis within the kings offensive framework specifically.

It's really like

1A
1B
IMO

But I think the edge goes to Fox considering he's generally the closer of the Kings.

It's apples and oranges, but I prefer apples.

Metaphorically, I mean; in reality, I like oranges better.

I think this is comes down too.

Who you would give a higher rating in NBA 2K.

There is a reason that the NBA can give an MVP out regardless of position. And that it comes down to a combination of...

Skill, Talent, Ability, Production, Value and overall impact.

I think you can make a solid guess as to who simply is more impactful on any given night and based on that it's very close.

they are not in competition, they are raising each other's ceiling.
I hate these teammates comparisons since the kobe vs shaq bs more than 20 years ago, the "whose team is this?" question in most cases makes zero sense, from a basketball standpoint. It's just there to stir the pot and create controversies.

You created this whole narrative in your mind. This was simply about who the better player was, not what you decided it was lol

Don't think there's a need to rank one over the other. If I was forced to pick I'd go with the Point Guard as a higher impact role.
