You mean Lloyd pierceRose the 2011 version of 2001 AI? Trae Young gonna run 2021....
AI was great and context definitely matters, numbers don't tell the whole story.
He didn't have a soul on his team to carry the scoring load.
Aaron McKie? Nigga only averaged 12 points when he won 6th man.
Larry Hughes? Eric Snow? Theo Ratliff? A young Iggy? A young korver? FOH
So much is placed on carrying a team but he did that. He couldn't have possibly been expected to win with any of those rosters which is why he demanded a trade and rightfully so.
Pretty sure he lead the league in minutes when he was in Philly because they just didn't have enough so naturally his fg% would go down because he was taking all the shots.
When Iverson got moved to Denver his fg% went up because he was playing on a much better team. He actually played some of the best basketball of his career with the Nuggets but that gets overlooked.
Melo was his best teammate by far and we know how much shit he gets for his career.
And not to mention AI was a much better passer than he gets credit for.
You mean Lloyd pierce
Of course you think this even though LBJ had way more help but lost to Rose every time during the regular seasonLBJ should have won that MVP when Rose got it
Is Wade a better player?You pretty much stated everything I was going to.
Stats don't always tell the full story. I can understand why people would choose Wade over Iverson but to say the comparison isn't close or Wade Is a waaaaay better player is a bit much
Yeah I thought he was off with that age thing tooThis doesn't make sense when majority of us around that age range grew up when AI was the most popular player in the league. He was idolized by that age range
People older than that a lot of them hated AI because of his image and "carrying" and mfers younger than that don't give af about AI.
Is Wade a better player?
Okay that’s all I needed my friendLmao.
If I had to pick between the 2 I'm taking Wade.
We addressed this already though.Iverson fans don’t talk about his FG% but make fun of Terry Rozier for the same shit

I think Westbrook’s versatility on offense as far as rebs, assists, scoring makes him better overall imoYou noticed initially I didn't say who was the better player. Lmao.
I do think Iverson is a better player than Westbrook though. I believe Westbrook was figuring out how to calm himself down this season which is good. Westbrook's biggest issue is he tries to do too much which can manifest into bad basketball IQ displays.
I'm rooting for him to exercise those demons though

iverson could probably execute better in crunch time though if you needed a bucket
Westbrook I think when he retires will end up ahead of iverson
That’s true it’s why I can’t agree with how good harden is (not better than Wade, but probably AI)It's a different type of game now. Numbers don't always tell the whole story like many have stated already.
That’s true it’s why I can’t agree with how good harden is (not better than Wade, but probably AI)
but I do think Westbrook can do what Iverson can’t and that’s really what I mean
stats aside
