NBA question to settle a bet

**klyejo** · 03-22-2012, 10:20 PM

Who would you pick to start a TEAM with: Allen Iverson or Chauncey Billups?

**cyguytillidie** · 03-22-2012, 10:21 PM

At their current age or when they were rookies?

What did you bet? That people on cf would say one name or another? If not how the hell does this thread settle a bet?

As rookies? Iverson and it's not even close.

Today? Billups and it's not even close.

Iverson in his prime

**klyejo** · 03-22-2012, 10:25 PM

Just am arguement that Ive had going for awhile so we decided to see what people would say. Definately agree with the answer. Im for Billups obviously.

If it's when they were in their prime, AI, and Chauncy wouldn't even be on the team. I don't think one person in the world would pick CB.

Knowing what you know now. Who would you pick to start a team?

If it is about peak value, it is AI hands down.

Interesting question IMO

Billups would be the safer choice and will make everyone around him better. Plus he's an unbelievable guy in the locker room. Only problem with going this route is you need a great supporting cast or else you'll never win big. Iverson had the superstar ability to carry the Sixers when they were down. Like when he took them to the Finals in the early 2000s. Too bad he never had sustained talent around him. I remember when they brought in Chris Webber in the twilight of his career as if that was some great move.

I'd take Iverson simply because of his great talent but I love Billups. I don't think it's an accident that the Clippers have fallen on hard times since he got hurt this year.

Allen Iverson without a doubt for me.

Doesn't change the question any. Are we going when they were rookies? Are we going when they were in their prime? Are we going with as they are right now? All things we "know now".
