Rafer because he defends better, is a better playmaker, and is a better penetrator.

Boobie has the better 3-pt shot but that's it.

Rafer was always underrated, but he's done a terrific job at point guard for the Rockets the last few seasons, it's nice that he's really blowing up now and getting some recognition. Rafer over Titty and it's not really close.

Pretty sure he played well and hit some clutch shots for the Heat back in Wade's rookie year which helped them advance and almost get to the ECF, but whatever's clever. I'll hop on the bandwagon of pretending he's a scrub and all that nonsense. Man that guy SUCKS. I MAN REALLY. I'M SUPER SERIAL.

I guess he had to "did" what he had to "did"....err, Kanye sucks what am I doing.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Gibson is the better shooter, Alston is the better player.

^ Uh, no. Billups > Alston, by a mile. And on the note of Rafer and Boobie, Rafer because of the reasons described by many above.
