Notice your last point was centered on Kidd and Kidd alone ;). You people do this to yourself with your half-arse arguments ;). Just like how you kinda only finished with HALF of the equation lol.
Stats can be misleading if you look at them out of context, and that is the case with those two guys. How many rings have those guys won? How many playoff games have they taken over? How many finals games have the Nets been to lately? You can throw your triple double stats around all day baby, believe me, I know them, I'm not short on the numbers, but I am long on the "I actually watch" kind of info, and I can tell you confidently, that I feel Chauncey and Hamilton are the better duo.
Maybe in a different time on a different year if you'd have united Carter and Kidd they woulda been the answer, but they aren't now, and that, much like the hokey pokey, is what this question is all about. Kidd doesn't play anywhere near the kinda D you act like he does, and he actually said in an interview once that his team lets him get some of the rebounds (you can tell that was one of those statements that someone might make to appear joking but that's actually truthful).
Hamilton and Chauncey have been together too long, they're too cohesive, too big in the crunch, have won too many playoff games, and are just quite simply, to someone who watches the game, better than Carter and Kidd. Like I said, maybe in another setting, with more experience together, in a different era, Kidd and Carter would get my selection, but not here, not now, not with Detroit about to make its 5th consecutive Eastern Conference Championship series. How's that for a stat the MEANS something big guy!
