Seemed like Vujacic had a much more limited role in this year\'s Finals.  I recall him banging in a lot of 3s against the Cs last year.

Yeah Chancey Billups who basically just turned the Denver Nuggets into a threat and won that Finals MVP is not superstar worthy neither was Ben Wallace at his peak.
:sarcasm:

ben wallace was never ever a superstar. i don\'t know how you can call a guy who couldn\'t play offense a superstar.  he went from wildly underrated to wildly overrated in two seasons...don\'t be foold by his contract. and chauncey hit some clutch shots for a couple years (not many in the last few, mind you) and he was a very good point guard. i never thought to myself..."man that chauncey billups is a superstar". that was a total team effort championship in \'04 predicated on defense (coach larry brown). i don\'t expect to change your mind on this issue, just know that i considered that entire team before i made that post

From what I have seen, albeit limited, Ben Wallace never impressed me in the slightest.

you could use a community college reading comprehension review.

And you could use a brush up on manners and etiquette....

I never once in my arguements insulted you as a person, Leith.  But you did to me more than once. Including with the above.

I respect someone who can debate intelligently without resorting to mudslinging and personal insults.  

I find myself sinking to your level right now even calling you out on this.

Don\'t you know, Zuke, we know nothing. Leith knows all.

I agree they beat The Lakers with team defense led by Ben who I must admit has underachieved in his career. However Chauncey is indeed a Superstar just not in the same vein as a Kobe or LeBron. He showed this in the Western Conference Finals this year. The same way he showed it in 2004.
There is a reason Denver went from could have beens to contenders and his name is Chauncey Billups.

Hey I thought I was giving you perfectly sensible advice that may help your arguments.
Instead your poor reading comprehension skills lead to your inane and nonsensical posting as far as I can tell.

If you feel insulted, I\'m sorry you feel that way. You should get over it though. It\'ll probably happen again.

Uh and it\'s about time you realized that.


Oh wait do you really need this? :wink:
