The Takeover
Wasn't disrespecting the Iceman I went to his school
I just think AI is overrated
I love AI but he’s probably one of the most overrated players ever. As much as I hate the dude I’d take CP3 all day.
Dude was an elite on both sides of the ball. I don’t see a single thing AI does better than him in a game.
I know for a fact CP3 works with almost any roster construction. There is only one way a prime AI team can be built and it’s not pretty.

AI. CP3 will be known as a flopping fakkit that hopped from team to team chasing a ring. AI lead a overachieving team to the finals and he didn't cry his whole career
AI just because of practice.
nikka Iverson basically cried about actually having to do his job and go to work

People get more caught up in his personality/aura. If you didn’t watch them games you wouldn’t know how good AI truly was.
OBVIOUSLY THE GUY WHO WON MVP
AND LEAD HIS TEAM TO THE FINALS
Career is probably CP3. But peak wise and that 01 level AI was at from season and playoffs can't no version of CP3 replicate. Minutes and durability a massive advantage for AI too. CP3 body broke down and was injured every other postseason. If he had to log 44+ minutes a game in playoffs as the sole offensive option on his team in his prime his career would been over mad long ago from his body breakin down.
Take CP
but it ain't no >>>> situation
