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...
They ran out of columns, but the last few were going to read
House Arrest Parties: Iverson 1 Billups 0
Banned from Casinos: Iverson 35 Billups 0
Jail Sentences: Iverson 1 Billups 0
Rap Albums Cancelled due to lyrics: Iverson 1 Billups 0
Kicked wife out of house naked: Iverson 1 Billups 0
Threaten to retire because he wasn't starting: Iverson 5 Billups 0
Gone on rants about 'Practice': Iverson 3 Billups 0 Started Cornrow trend: Iverson 1 Billups 0
Petitioned team to change practice time, due to hangovers: Iverson 1 Billups 0 Arrested at '17': Iverson 1 Billups 0
You just can't put a price on the intangibles folks
