Kobe would run circles around Iverson on the court...no question. But on the streets.... that's another story
AI vs Kobe
- Thread starter Prodigital
- Start date
I think AI was the better 1 on 1 player for several years until he started to fall off around ~08

Remember that time Kobe wore Iverson sneakers? Dont make me post a picture. Whatever year that was, AI clearly was better than Kobe and kobe knew it.

Kobe is arguably the best one on one player the league has ever seen.
at the Kobe vs MJ threads now turning into Kobe vs AIkobe wasn't relative until 05!
A.I had it on lock 98-04. iverson was the cover athelete of the best basketball franchise ever! his shoe numbers was crazy!...wasnt nobody fucckin wid kobe's addiddas jawnts. A.I. had signature moves and wasn't a jordan clone...i mean whats kobe's signature move to this day?!?!?! even bron came up with a crab dribble.
Kobe was mcdonalds commercials and drinking sprite. Tehy made rule changes to stop A.I. crossover and made it a carry then they allowed zone defense. Kobe was a soft player until shaq left and became pycho bean and earned a lot of peoples respect.

i mean A.I. brough excessive tattoos and elbow sleeves to the game....kobe was extra clean cut back in the day until A.I. made it acceptable.
that's how lebron could be a good guy looking all extra tatted up....that was thug status in the 90's! Kobe waited until it became socially acceptable.

Yes, eventually he turned into that. I'm saying that earlier on, there were several years where AI was probably more dangerous in a 1v1 scenario. Then Kobe started to become better.
"relavant"
yall know what i meant. kobe was made for ABC....he got booed in philly during the all-star game because people wasn't feelin' him on a personal level. Kobe was a product of ESPN/ABC manufacturing until he met that white girl and then Bron took that spot that Kobe had previously taken from Penny hardaway and grant hill once they knees blew out.
Once shaq left kobe played harder. I mean...young sab still gets A.I. respect and he plays with durant. Kobe didn't have the love of the people until 9-10yrs into his career.

How come Rondo gets praised for his steals and A.I's steals get downplayed?
I never really understood that. Can someone enlighten me?

Exactly, AI is the most overrated player in the last 15 years in the NBA.
