The whole Paige v. Clark debate highlights the whole "I say Ether, you say Ither" way of looking at basketball. Both are transcendentally great players who do slightly different things. Some prefer the Paige-like Oscar Robertson; some prefer the Clark-like Michael Jordan.
This is why some of us, at least, really appreciate Ice's work. She does incredibly subtle things that influence plays on defense. Things that never get into the box score, but hand and feet movements that change the play.
Guy on 2nd and none out. Next up changes his swing and handles a vicious inside slider to be a slow roller to second for an easy out. But guy on 2nd can advance to third. Next guy up pops out to center, and runner scores.
First guy gets a double and run scored. Third guy gets RBI. Second guy gets nothing. But nothing would have happened without his great bat handling. That's similar to what Ice is doing. And very, very big time, beyond the box score, that's what Paige does. She makes everyone better. She's simply the smartest basketball player I've ever seen.
