Who would you take?

Melo and Manu

or

S. Jackson and Artest

Manu flops like a little girl and Melo runs away when you try to fight him.

But Jackson and Artest arnt afraid of a little confrontation, they will even beat up fans.

But which pair is better at basketball?

I'll take a physical, passionate duo over a good shooter and a flopper anyday.

This isn't football. You can be a mama's boy and a good basketball player at the same time.

Blatant and inaccurate characterization of a particular player in mind.

Yes. Absolutely correct.

Seriously though.

Melo and Manu and it isn't even close. I mean Capt. Chuck and a thug over two prolific scorers and good defenders that can also rebound?

No chance.

This isn't even close. How was the poll tied 2-2?

I'll take 2 of the best scorers in the league, Proven winners in NCAA, NBA and in FIBA tournaments over Artests and Jackson all day.

Manu may flop, but he isn't scared on the court. He'll drive to the hoop and take a beating... he'll just drop if he thinks he can get and advantage.

You're right, Melo doesn't always run away from fights.

If you're referring to Manu, he does flop, get over it.

Ginobili and Melo, easily.

Just for the record, it's usually the mama's boys that are pushing people and punching out strangers. Kids that grow up with strong fathers have enough discipline to walk away (and . . . if their dads are smart athletes, they might even teach their kids to take a charge which carried to the extreme produces Manu)

Good to know.

Manu and Melo sounds to me like a playoff team.
Jackson and Artest sounds like trouble.

Damn, I can't believe I forgot that. Let me rephrase it:
Artest and Jackson sounds like more trouble.

It would be nice to see Rodman and Oakley coming back to play with the tough guys too.

I would have to take Artest and Jackson because I mean come on Artest ain't backing down no matter what hes Physcho, Jackson is big and is probably big headed and thinks he can take anyone on :lol:
