He's underrated if you don't think he's a superstar, overrated if you have him with Wade or Kobe. He's Ray Allen, Reggie Miller tier
I believe given the chance to play with a championship caliber team you'd change your mind on this statement.
Ray Allen or Reggie Miller would have nightmares guarding Iverson, heck Kobe and Wade would have a hard time.
The reason why I'm so against stats in the case of Allen Iverson is simple. All his years on the Sixers (his prime) he was never with someone else who could create their own shot against a competent defense. Yes, the popular belief that the 2001 SIxers were just some scrubs is false but none of those guys were a Kyrie Irving or Klay Thompson type baller who could force the defense to focus heavily on someone else outside of Iverson.... The fact that that Sixers offense was more or less a one trick pony and dude would still score above 30 regularly... At 6 feet, 170lbs?
Nothing overrated about Iverson, his peers (fellow NBA players) and fans all know what's up from actual footage, not just stats. I don't understand how people can look at stats alone and figure they know someones game to the T.
I'll allow it.
