Agreed, except that I'm not sure Malone is better than Walker right 
*now*.  Over the course of his career, why, of course, without a doubt, 
but I'd take Walker over him if now if I were building a team.  As for 
the rest, yeah, they are better than Antoine, but Walker's skill set is 
still particularly suited for the make-up of this Celtic team.  The 
only one who's as good a passer may be KG.  None of these guys is as 
good a dribbler.  Though, they're all better down low and better 
shooters until you get to the arc.

Same here.  I'd take Pierce over Kobe.  Nowitski, though.  That guy can 
really play.

Everytime I think Pierce is better than Walker, Antoine comes roaring 
out with a stretch of games that makes me think otherwise.  Oh, well, 
the fun is in seeing... .
