    <font color="darkred">Ok, IMO, Steve Francis.

    But lets talk facts:

    <u>2002-03 Statistics:</u>

    Stephon Marbury
    PPG: 22.5
    RPG: 3.1
    APG: 8.3
    SPG: 1.37
    BPG: .24
    FG%: .428
    FT%: .782
    3P%: .283
    MPG: 40.1

    Steve Francis
    PPG: 22.7
    RPG: 5.9
    APG: 6.1
    SPG: 1.60
    BPG: .50
    FG%: .437
    FT%: .799
    3P%: .398
    MPG: 41.5

    Stat-Wise, It's pretty even.

    I didn't know that Francis was shooting close to 40% from 3 point land, nice. 8)

    Steve Franchise

    He's better offensively and defensively. Marbury is a better passer, but that's about it.

    I pick Marbury. He is one the best passers I ever seen. He can go the basket and score. Marbury can also shoot. I also like Francis but I like Marburys playing style more.

    Francis is a better all around player. I'll take him, unless I'm starting a team in Canada. [​IMG]

    ...

    The Suns are my team and all, but I would also go with Francis. Both Francis and Marbs are known as the modern day PG would thinks shoot first, but I haven't seen that in Marbs a whole lot this year, I can't speak for Francis though. Marbury gets a lot of his points in the fourth quarter and that is where he is mainly shoot first, which is a good thing because his ability to penetrate through the other teams D creats shots for him and his teammates. I think Marbs' D is overlooked too. He is a pretty good defensive PG. The thing that may give Francis the nod is the rebounds, but when Marbury has Amare and Marion then rebounding isn't as much as a focus as it is with Francis. It really is too close to call, but Francis' all-around game gives him the nod...it can really change throughout the season though...

    that has to be the absolute worst arguement for one player being better than the other, ever.
