>I can't believe how much you people worship that over-valued 2-guard. Yes, he's good, but he's not great and he never will be. Yes, he's a class guy, but he's not a great basketball player by NBA standards. He's solid, but not great.<
You're not the only one who can pull up stats. All of these shooting guards/ swingmen made the All-Star Game this year. This comparison throws out Kobe & Vince Carter (those two are the best by far).

The stats don't lie. Finley is arguably the 3rd best shooting guard in the league right now.
