The Sky is blue, Water is wet...

Performing comparisons is an integral part of life, whether it be the quality of sex you are having to the quality of sex you used to have, the quality of women/men you are picking up for one night stands compared to what you used to pick up or how much it burns after said one night stand, compared to what it used to. Anyway comparisons are a big part of sports as well, most often when a trade occurs, because you can see directly how each player impacted their new team and make evaluations to see who 'won' the trade. ABC did one of these comparisons during a game on Saturday, evaluating a blockbuster NBA trade between Detroit and Denver for Chauncey Billups and Allen Iverson. It would be a fair comparison had both players been PLAYING during the playoffs, which Iverson wasn't...in fact he missed the final 2 weeks of the season due to a back injury and hasn't played since...well done ABC, well done...
