You don't get it and you never will. You can say Billups is a great point guard until you're blue in the face. It doesn't make him a better player than McGrady. It doesn't make him a better pick than McGrady. It doesn't really mean anything other than he's a good point guard.
Let me help you since you don't really know shit. If every team in the league would trade Billups for McGrady, it makes no sense to take Billups over McGrady. Ever. Even if your team really, really needs a point guard. You can always land Billups (or a much better point guard) using McGrady. Therefore, it's beyond stupid to say that it's a wise decision to choose Billups over McGrady. I anticipate your answer to this will be, "But Billups is a good point guard," because your argument style and the substance of your argument is complete nonsense.

No. That makes sense only when you're comparing players on the same level. Does it make sense to add a Kidd or a Garnett? Well, let's look to our team's needs. When the decision is to be made between a McGrady and a Billups, the choice is simple, objective one.

1. Get your own lines.
2. Early in his career, Michael did NOT will his team to get in shape to win. That's why I told you to compare them at similar points in their career. Michael was a one-man show on a team that looked a lot like the Magic right now, you idiot.

Yeah. All the great point guards needed 5 years before you knew they were something special. Wtf are you talking about? Do you want to know why he didn't get a chance to play much? Because he wasn't that great.

As to my abilities, anyone who ever has played much at any level know you can't call out a person's talent based upon anything other than seeing him play. so My basketball instinct tells me you ain't played much.

Your instincts are about as accurate as your arguments. I played in college (granted it wasn't a division I school).
You can't gauge a player's talent based upon anything other than seeing him play? Really? So, I need to actually see Bimbo Coles play to determine he ain't that good? I can't look at his numbers to make that determination? It's like you just stepped off a space ship and you have no idea how anything in this strange world of ours, works.

Fuck that! It's January, let's compare the amounts on our W-2's for playing basketball last year. I know I at least tied your ass.

How about this: We play for paychecks and I don't report the income on my next return?
