rip loose over sugar ray any day. first of all, rip is a workingman's player in that there no glamour, sweetness, or style in his shot or his game, and even down to that protective face sheild he wears....nothing, nothing but hard work, whether its on defense or taking his defenders to the hole. rip is constantly on the attack, he is also one of best pull up mid-range shooters in the game. rip's real strength is his ability to team up with chauncey billups to create havoc in the backcourt. the most underrated backcourt in the nba as witnessed in detroit's championship run, rip + chauncey were simply out of control.
ray on the other hand is smooth like chivas regal, and one of the premiere showmanship shooters in the game. heck, all-star competition aint the same without him. an all around classy player, this guy is made for the new york market. if you want to find fault in his paper stats, you really cant. i was just wondering about their famous rectangle offense of big dog, sam cassels, tank thomas and himself with george karl in the pilot's seat....what happen homer
