Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Basketball Paradise at none against Basketball Showdown 2's shown. Basketball Paradise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Basketball Showdown 2's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Basketball Showdown 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Basketball Paradise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Basketball Paradise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basketball Showdown 2 has 7.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
