Kobe is 45%So is Kobe. But I don't hear anyone saying Chrrys better than him
he was pretty efficient for most his career, but i wont make it all about stats
This weird narrative that dude was some average player is
but who says this? AI is a legend but he will get criticized to death when he's compared to guys who make his flaws much more noticeable. Like Wade and Curry
There's no small sample size, AI dominated the league for like 5+ years straight.
His finals run was about as impressive as it gets considering what he was working with.
Currys having one amazing year. One of the Best ever. We all know that. But it's still one year. So who really has a small sample size. I'm sure curry will have many bad games like he did vs the Spurs if his career lasts another 5-6s years and defenses really start going at him.
And Ray Allens one of the goat shooters and 2 guards in NBA history so
He's one of my favorite players too so you're preaching to the choir
Except Iverson did not dominate the league for a long period of time. At no point was he remotely close to being the best player in the association despite what that MVP will tell you and he only has a handful of seasons that can be considered for top 5 ('01, '05, '06).
Curry has been a superstar since 2013. He has had great, top 5 caliber seasons before the current and while not on the level of play he's reached this season where he's become the clear best player in the league, 65 games regardless is a huge sample size. Iverson has never, ever had a stretch like this before and he has never had a season that can be considered "one of the best ever". Thats a phrase you only save for the guys up there with the pantheon of all time greats.
Defenses are already really going after him man, they've been trapping him behind the line, running him through screens and death gripping off ball for years now. He's just so good that you never truly notice how retardly difficult the shots he takes are until his has an off night.
This shyt is blowing my mind right now. Like nikkas really hate AI lmaooo wtfWhy do yall hate iverson on here

Iverson barely shot 40% in the playoffs and shot below 39% for half of his playoff runs.Yeah AI is second to only to Michael Jordan in playoff scoring per game but he ain't a better scorer than Steph
Iverson can't compete with Curry's efficiency. Curry is the flat out better scorer and player.
Nope. He's been a top 10 player ever since 2013 where he first broke the single season three point record while taking a high percentage of his attempts off the dribble. Had to have been sleeping on him to think otherwise
do any of these performances come to mind? apparently they slip under the radar
In '14, did you think Love or Aldridge were top 10 players? B/c he was better than both, and should have ranked higher than he did in MVP voting as one of the most impactful players in the league.
They hate him when his Stan's pit him against curry. But this site has a lot of trolls that say all kids of reckless shyt

That's not the reason at all. They hate how AI is overrated, this has been in discussion long before Curry's rise to superstardom. How are you not aware of this?

STOP IT.
He was looked at as a very good player and a great shooter.
But he was a FRINGE top ten player at best.
He didn't TRULY break through until last year.
