I've been on hiatus for a bit but I'll explain why at some point before too long.
People tend to confuse style over effectiveness is the short answer reason.
You always say you want nothing to do with this thread but keep coming back.

I think I've explained every hiatus and been true as to why.
But if you want to believe Deke is the better choice, just say the word and I'll decline to explain why you are wrong. You're in good company here with others who don't get it.
Most successful player on the board? Tony Parker or Manu Ginobili
Hmmmm...
This is probably a wasted vote, but I'll take Tracy McGrady. In his prime (which was far too short unfortunately) he was one of the 10 best perimeter scorers I've ever seen.
He had a 5-year stretch of 27.6/6.8/5.3/44.3%/35.3%.....25.6 PER. That's Kobe-level stats with better rebounding and higher PER.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.
If T-Mac played alongside Duncan.......or had a cast of Ben Wallace and company......would have have had championship success? To me, the answer is yes....but that's obviously just a hypothetical.

Ginobili has a career PER of 21 in the reg season and 20 in the playoffs, which are stronger than Tonii Parker's PER of 19 and 17, respectively.
Of course Parker has always played more minutes than Manu, who averaged less than 30/game. Their per 36 stats are quite similar.
Parker's 2007 finals MVP was a bit of a gift vs an undermanned opponent. I would say Ginobili's 2005 playoffs are better than any playoff run Parker had.
I'm going to go with the best player on the board at this point and that's Tracy McGrady. His teams never won a playoff series...but they also weren't very good either.
