I've said this since like his second year in the league when they started featuring the Heat on the regular on TV. They try to make the Kobe comparison's but Wade with the slashing elite mid range game but suspect outside shot and elite defense was the closest in similar to MJ than anyone else before or after.
Nah he was most similar to young MJ.

Kobe clearly was more of Old MJ style

If he forced himself to be “efficient” in today’s terms.... the 76ers would have missed the playoffs most of his tenure

Umm, Iverson played efficient and great basketball with the Nuggets. Iverson went to the finals, once, and had the BEST DEFENSE IN the league behind him.

One man army offense does not work come playoffs.

all those other guys were more efficient because they had better teammates.

hence the reason why Iverson's efficiency went up as soon as he went to Denver.

Lmao pick your year of trash teams. Wade, Bron, and the like we’re all more efficient even when they had trash teammates.

Wade from 06-09 was better than every version of Iverson and Wade would easily get that same 76ers team to the finals too.

My posts states that if he played "efficient" basketball by today's definition..... the 76'ers would have not made the playoffs most of his tenure there... not sure why you're bringing up the his year(s) with the nuggets

you say this as if the bolded is Iverson's fault.
name another player on that team who was remotely anything close to being a secondary scoring option.

wade was never surrounded with offsensive trash at any point of his career.
people gassed off the '06 finals, as if shaq wasn't commanding most of the attention from the opposing defense, and as if they didn't have a gang of other vets that you couldn't just leave on an island.

put wade on that sixers team, and theyre lucky to get past Toronto.

It's crazy how much the game changed in NBA now. Mostly, they looking for refs to bail them out.
