We all know Iverson didn't have great field goal percentages, because he was a volume shooter. Plus he never had a legit bonafide #2 option. But dude is one of the all-time greats even without a ring, I don't give a f*ck what anybody says.

Is that a good excuse? Kobe, Wade, Lebron, etc have similar scoring but much better efficienct. Curry, Durant, etc

I think Iveson is an ATG but he's still not on the same level, in terms of on-court impact, as Durant or Wade.

Do people expect 6 foot 160 pounds to have the same impact on winning as 7 footers :dwillhuh:

So we give extra bonus points if you're smaller now?

Are Isaiah Thomas and Nate top 20 players in the NBA because they're smaller than anyone else on the court or should judge them by their impact?

Someone used to tell me AI was just Jamal Crawford with ultimate green-light. I used to think he was crazy but after these tweets he probably had a point. :jbhmm:

How do you have multiple seasons shooting under 40% in your prime. :scust:

This is the nikka they compare to Wade @Draje :merchant:

He's still an elite offensive player with an elite skill set so I wouldn't call him Jamal but I don't understand how people can think he's better than Wade, Durant, Lebron, Kobe, KG, etc.

I put him in the same category that I put Nash in. All time elite players with an offensive impact that can't be quantified but not quite on the same levels as GOAT.

I find it funny how Nash is consistently disrespected on here despite the fact that he has Iverson's exact same skill (Better vision but less athletic) set but no one gives him pound for pound points even though he was the smallest dude on the court, constantly attacking, had the biggest heart on the court, etc.

Nash is pretty much white Iverson.

How is Iverson even comparable to Nash? A 2x MVP who has led 7 of the 12 greatest offenses in NBA History. One of the most efficient scorers and shooters ever.

49 % FG, 43% 3PT, and 90% FT for his entire career.

He was always one of the least athletic guys on the court that didn't stop him from being one of the most efficient players in the LEAGUE.

He's not even top 20, so what's the point to bring up this argument

It's not like u arguing about Isaiah or another better point guard

Easily. Go compare prime D-Wade's stats to Iverson and he's better while being s better defender, rebounder, playmaker, and a championship leader.
Allen Iverson never had Shaq or Lebron. He's also 5 inches shorter so defense and rebounding don't really make sense.

DWade has a 15 win season under his belt, has only been out the 1st round as his team's best player twice (barely beat Charlottw this year), and has no durability.

He is not a better playmaker than Iverson, that's not really debatable to me. Besides throwing oops to Lebron, when have we ever described Wade as a playmaker? Iverson averaged damn near 7 assists for his career, and was averaging 8 assists when he was averaging 30 a night. With bums around him.

Iverson did more with less talent around him, less size, and more franchise turmoil than Wade ever did. Player to player, Iverson would cook Wade :mjlol:

Maybe if you're an idiot.

Wade scored similar amounts, while being more efficient. He averaged more assists, rebounds, and was a much better and more versatile defensive player.

Go look at Iverson's MVP and tell me how it compares to Wade's best season.

Go post Iverson's playoff numbers during his finals run and tell me how they compare to Wade's championship season. I'll wait.

I love how Wade fans conveniently leave out he played with Shaq in the last year of his prime when he commanded a constant double team. Not a big deal at all.
