There's not even an argument. When Davis is healthy, I'm taking him over ANY PG in the league. Kick your friend’s ass.

There’s not even an argument.

Long before these playoffs began--and really, anytime since Devin Harris' birth--this has been a non-argument. Devean George, Devin Harris, Devon White, Neil Patrick Harris, Harrison Ford, and Devon the adult entertainer combined could not beat Baron in a game of 6 on 1 (though the lady Devon has some experience here that can't be overestimated). Sorry to get so bent out of shape over this, but it's absolutely ludicrous. You can chalk it up to my being a lifelong Warriors fan (with the Chris Webber jersey to prove it--I was going to games when Hammer was courtside, and I'm not that old) who's understandably a little sick of how long we've been the red-headed stepchildren of the NBA (and boy does all this current media love feel good), but at the risk of totally invalidating my objectivity...Devin Harris?! I can't stand this guy. I haven't seen anyone flop as consistently and as pathetically since Vlade Divac's Kings were getting tooled by Shaq and the Lakers year in and year out. His entire defensive game is built on using his (impressive) speed to get in front of other players to take charges. His entire offensive game is built on using his (again impressive) speed to run around with no particular intent, occasionally driving the lane and falling over like he's just taken a Bill Laimbeer hipcheck. Please. Devin Harris is fast, and that's it. He's Herb Washington. Baron Davis is an extraordinary athlete, on par with anyone in the NBA; but he's also exceptionally skilled as a basketball player. I can't believe this is an argument. Your friend needs help. Wait a sec: there is someone in this world who thinks Baron Davis and Devin Harris are comparable players?
