There are simply some comparisons that will go on forever. Here is a brief list:
Jessica Alba vs. Jessica Biel
Little Ceasers vs. Dominoes
Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning
Michael Jackson vs. Prince
Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera
Lord of the Rings vs. Matrix
Lebron vs. Kobe
Waking up for school vs. Sleeping in and playing Halo
We will be undoubtedly be debating these topics for a long time. One of the greatest debates in the NBA is Chris Paul vs. Deron Williams. There have been tons and tons of articles and blog entries dedicated to figuring this out. I am sorry to tell you, but this is yet just another one of those. However, I feel that it is my duty as a Jazz fan to shed some light on this topic. I will do so un-biased like. Lets look at the following (according to NBA.com):
2009 Playoff Stats
Deron Williams vs. Chris Paul
20.2 - PPG - 16.6
3.8 - RPG - 4.4
10.8 - APG - 10.4
The stats aren't too much different when you look at them in this context. NBA.com, however, makes a great comparison with their Efficiency Ratings. Deron Williams has a +23.2, while Chris Paul has a +19.00. D Will was simply the more efficient player. If you still have doubts, then look beyond the stats and see who has won more playoff games and gone farther into the playoffs. That is what it comes down to. Either way they are both amazing basketball players. It's too bad that the two best PG's in the game are both out of the playoffs!
