Chris production in Sacramento (over 5 years)

23.8ppg, 47.6fg%, 11rebs

Chris' production in Philly (over 2 years)

17.8ppg, 41.2fg%, 8.9rebs


Chris had fell off. Phil would murder Pau & Bynum for shooting that poor. How you the big man shooting worse than the shooting guard? :scusthov:

That's why when he was racking up stl titles it wasn't impressive to anyone.

:aicmon:

It's one thing to say that Iverson's steal numbers are an indicator of the type of defense he played, but to say that shyt "wasn't impressive to anyone" is fukking absurd.


Kobe was always a better defender than A.I. though..especially in the early 2000's when Kobe was consistently playing D.

Because it wasn't. :what:

Did you ever hear anyone talking about Iverson being this great defender even though he was getting close to 3 stls a game? No you weren't. Now compare that to the type of praise that Chris Paul gets.

A.I. was better at one point, but Kobe caught up to and surpassed that nikka relatively quickly.

A.I. received appropriate praise throughout his career. nikkas used to try and claim Kobe was an Average 2 guard that just got easy look because of Shaq. People constantly argued that Kobe wouldn't be able to score as much without Shaq demanding so much attention :pachaha:

You know how it be.....Kobe scored 81 points & nikkas forgot they used to hate his ass 5 years earlier :laugh:

:stopitslime:

You got no business mentioning Odom along with Smush and Kwame.
What has Odom ever done in the league without Kobe? One good year in Miami? Meaningless years with the Clippers? Having no heart in Dallas? Don't get my wrong he's a good player but I was more or less comparing him to C Webb and even at that time I'd take a broken down Webber :yeshrug:

If you lead the league in steals that's impressive. It's not an indicator of good defense but leading the entire league in steals is impressive no matter how you slice it.
