^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^quality post^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I disagree with it, but it was well thought out and I gotta respect that. (no sarcasm)
Do you have to win a title to be better than another player? Who is better? LeBron James or Ray Allen?
No, but Manu has proven himself in the playoffs to be a clutch player and has won several playoff games for them. I guess that was my point.
Manu is a better slasher. Rudy is a better jump shooter. From watching 8 games as a rookie, I'm optimistic Rudy will measure up well against Manu when all is said and done.
which is irrelevant to the question asked. but no, rudy isn't better. rudy has spurts where he is equal to or better than manu is normally but manu is better defensively and simply better at this point.
Actually, I'd have to say the right now, Rudy is definitely better than Ginobili. Whether he is still better once Ginobili returns from his injury is another question but right now, I'd have to go with Rudy being better. Gramps...
i hadn't read that far when i replied. your clarification makes a lot more sense. he definitely flops but is a good defender as well.
I think Manu will always be a better 1-on-1 player than Rudy. However, I think Rudy will be a better team player than Manu. This makes Rudy a better fit for us, IMO.
They're both white, foreign, shooting guards..... that aside, I don't see the similarity at all. Why compare them?
