Sam Cassell or Chauncey Billups? who had a better career?

[#1 pick]

This one is tough, but Billups was clearly better but Cassell was always that piece that helped teams win.

Sheed was a superstar, and Rip was good for 20 wherever he played. Matter of fact, Sheed was the player that took them over the top, not Billups

Ben > rasheed

Chauncey had the better career, but Sam had the better hip hop references.

I watched him play on EVERY team from C's, Tor, Denver 2x, Min...he couldn't shoot. I did say he was a great leader. He could orchestrate the offense and run a team, but he wasn't great at anything offensively. He was failing as a NBA PG and they used him as a combo on a couple of those teams. When I say court vision, I'm talking about from exceptional passing...seeing a man out the corner from the other side of the court. I think he only has 2 seasons over 7 apg. One season in Det when he was at 18 & 8, but he was good for about 14 & 5 regularly....which is pretty average for a starting PG. I still think he was a great leader. But let's be real, he overachieved.



Billups was regularly under 42% FG. I don't even have to look this up. That's a good shooter? He was horrible. His jumper was on Kidd status...Brevin Knight status... He could bully his way to spots, and was big enough to shoot over people but bricked a lot. Hitting some clutch shots doesn't change dude being at 40% on FGs.

U just said a career 90% free throw shooter couldn't shoot

Billups three point stats were similar to Rashard Lewis's and Paul Pierce's unlike Jason Kids who shot under 35% thoughtout his career.

Billups easily,


This is why you new generation can't take over the world.


Y'all look at the numbers and think Sam is better than Billups

Sam I am no question. First off, B b b billups was a late blooomer. He had a good what, 5- maybe 7 year run in Detroit and Denver (end of his career). Sam i am was lethal from the time he came into the league. Won just about everywhere he went. Rockets- Championship Bucks- ECF. Clippers- Won. Timberwolves- WCF. everywhere Sam went, TEAMS GOT BETTER. hell man, the one year KG actually had team success was with SAM AND spree. The fukking clippers man. Elton brand couldn't win crap. Sam got there. THE WHOLE CULTURE CHANGED.

Yup!

Sam came out the gate firing. Once Billups got his skills down he was a beast but Cassell was always a monster to me. I remember him and KG in Minny was nice. Can't quite remember if it was during or after the Starbury years, but IIRC it was after.

Billups a better 2 way player in his prime than Sam was

Sheed was unguardable. Period. Ask KG, Duncan, Webb, Dirk, JO, Reef, Dyess..none of them could guard Sheed, especially on the blocks. That's a superstar in my book. I said in every thread about overrated/underrated that he and Manu are the 2 GOATs-with-the-worst-Stats

That's a good thread idea.
