Nah

Jeremy Lin drops 30

Game is easy now with all the spacing

Iverson would be unstoppable

does he average 30? plenty of role players have had big games in any era. if AI is taking 300+ 3's a night while making them at about a 26-28% rate (he did this several seasons), then you're going to have poor spacing without movement from the other players because teams would simply attempt to wall off the paint and force him into taking bad shots. the game is not easy now at all

look at his efficiency in Denver, and he was past his prime then

If you wall off the paint then he has better people to pass to because teams put more shooting on the floor now

Iverson would kill today

Every player who knows how to run a pick and roll has success today. Iverson would kill these dudes

Isn't Iverson basically isiah Thomas on steroids




AI would've gotten that celtics team to the ecf.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

IT is a better shooter but AI is a better finisher, I think Iverson has 2 inches on him too.

Ain't kemba walker a top 10 pg





Yeah AI would kill in any era. Y'all gotta stop taking nikkas opinions seriously. If he am idiot, keep it moving

How many times have you mentioned my name with lies attached in the last few months breh?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

You ask that clown that agrees with you about Iverson being overrated that wrote that shyt. Guarantee you his opinion wasnt far off from it, easy to see just based on the things he said in that article.

See this is the problem with you - you lie and manipulate shyt to get your point across. It's beyond pathetic at this point.

These pencil neck analytics geeks are going to do everything they can to destroy basketball

I hate to givd publicity to such a bad site, but there is a large group of "fans" who believe that jimmy butler isnt a good defender and allen iverson was a bum

Pace and Space :: NBA Breakfast Special: Why Allen Iverson Would Suck Today

Where do these people come from?

 

[calh45]

Iverson now wouldn't need to rely on his jumper. It'd be a lay up line every time down the court.

 

[Reggie]

Cats try to shyt on AI but you had to watch the game and see the context of how he got his points. Chuck really truly thought that him taking a shot with 3 cats on him was better then his teammate in the corner wide open. It's not like he was a shooter as bad as Rondo or Rubio out there. He just took a gang of bad shots that bought his percentage down. And instead of finding other ways to contribute AI just thought he could shoot himself out of a slump. But with all these advanced metrics and shyt and players being cognizant of the shots they take why couldn't AI would take advantage of that technology to and use it to his advantage as well.

great handle
great finisher around the basket
solid shooter
solid mid-range game
elite 1 on 1 player
can score coming off screens

there is no way he wouldn't be able to be an all star guard in the current NBA especially in the eastern conference.

Don't forget his motor...this dude literally had freak like stamina, averaged over 40 mins a night for a decade. And he gave u the same production every night whether he was hurt, sick or hungover.

His averages in points and field goal percentages spiked when they they disallowed handchecking in 06 ...a year where he actually he showed signs of slowing down.

There is no way a super talent like AI when u factor in his physical ability, his toughness and his playmaking skills would not be a top 10 player in today's league
