The best backcourt in the NBA is Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton, that is a very good duo right there.

I disagree, I would rather take the backcourt of Ginobili and Parker over the Pistons backcourt because Chauncey isn't getting any better and Parker is becoming an elite point guard in the league.
respect ur opinion; parker is a liability on defense though ...........it's popovich's system that's preventing tony from being exposed night in and night out, which avery johnson did.

I'll take Tony Parker over Chauncey Billups any day and I think if Detroit could acquire Tony Parker from the Spurs for Billups they wouldn't wait a second to rethink acquiring Tony Parker. He's got blazing speed,great youth, and gets to the hole better than anyone Ive ever seen.
I agree that detriot would make a Parker for Billups trade but only because of Parker's youth. Right now i feel Billups and Rip are a better duo then Parker and Ginobili but that will change considering Parkers youth

Say what you want about O'Neal but he's still good and makes everything easier for Wade...etc...i'm going with them.

Chauncey is the better shooter, better passer, way better defender, and the better overall pg. Tony is better at driving and scoring (only by a little, but that is all. And Chauncey only scores .5 ppg less than Parker so it's all good.I doubt the Pistons would give up Chauncey. Right now he is a top 3 pg in the League. (Yes, ahead of Tony Parker!), and he is the sole leader of the team. He is one of the best all around pg's. He can do everything that a pg should, and he is also one of the smartests points in the League.You have to be kidding me if you think Tony Parker is better than him. I bet anyone in the League right now would rather have Chauncey run their offense next season than Tony Parker.

Tony will be hitting his prime in a couple of seasons and I have a feeling he is only going to get better and better. IMO, I think Detroit would trade Chauncey for Tony straight up. Tony is younger and hasnt reached his maximum potential yet when Chaunceys best years are behind him IMO. Well, they are either behind him or they are about to be.And as for Chauncey being the sole leader of the pistons. That is bullsh**. Surprisingly, Rasheed is just as much of a leader as Billups is. Even though he has a temper, he still gets alot of respect from his teammates. He is also the emotional leader which helps alot. And when Big Ben was in Detroit, there were 3 leaders on the team. So i dont know how you get off saying Chauncey is the sole leader on the Detorit Pistons.

WOW)
Right now, Billups and Hamilton are better. Chauncey is an MVP candidate, All NBA Defender, top 5 in the league in assists a game, #1 assist to turnover ratio, one of the NBA's Clutchest(if it isn't a word it should be) players, and an all star. With that reasoning explain how you take Parker over Chauncey.Rip is a 20 points a night guy, while Ginoblili is around 17-18 points a game. While Manu is a better defender, I think Rip and Chauncey are for sure a better combo.And I just was throwing a couple more names out there BCB, of course they aren't as good as a Wade/Shaq combo, but they are the best backcourt tandem in the league.
