I see many people here have the notion that Battier is a better player than Prince, and it annoys me.

Rockets fans say Battier should be in the first all defensive team, not that he is better than Prince. We would trade Battier for Prince.

Shane battier is a really good player. He'd be a good fit on any team. I also hate the pistons. I hate prince. But prince over battier.

Who says Battier is better?

I'd take Prince over Battier without even thinking. Comparable defenders, but Prince is the MUCH better offensive player that can create his own shot.

Yeah what everyone else said. I'm a big Battier supporter, but I really don't think I've ever said he's above Prince. Hell, I think it's ridiculous Prince hasn't made an all-star team, and I wouldn't think of saying that about Battier.

Battier is a better defender and 3pt shooter. Not sure anyone would give him anything else.
