Curry. Not even close.

Iverson was one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. So glad the Celtivs never traded for that bum back in the mid 00s.

Prime Paul Pierce>>Prime Iverson


Dude single handedly took one of the worst rosters in NBA history to the Finals and stole a game from a Lakers team that was one of the best in league history. With that said, I have to reluctantly admit that Curry is the better all around player, but not by much.


Also if Iverson would've been surrounded by lights out shooters and shut down defenders, he would've won multiple chips and changed the conversation entirely. Basically if he would've had the ideal team around him, kind of the way Curry does now; and the way Kobe did for all his chips, and Duncan, Lebron, etc. Not even Lebron has done more with less than Iverson did, especially since the East was actually respectable during Iverson's prime.

Iverson is easily the most overrated player on TheColi, remember dudes were picking him over Wade :dead:


Iverson's numbers are better than Wade's besides rings obviously. Wade won with Shaq and Lebron. His first chip with Shaq, Wade was clearly the alpha and had one of the great all time finals performances, but just having someone of Shaq's stature by your side changes your game, confidence, etc. in incalculable ways. Iverson never played with anyone even remotely comparable to Shaq or Bron, while also playing under someone like Pat Riley.

Not saying Iverson is better, but it's certainly up for debate in my opinion.

I said nothing about rings, prime Wade is the better player, he was more efficient offensively and a much better defender.

DPOTY, COTY, one of the best defensive teams in the league, and the East was awful.

Despite all that, AI made it off the back of Dikembe vs. Seattle

:stopitslime: Act like Iverson didn't have to force a ton of shots,because his best second option was Eric Snow.

When he went to Denver with another elite scorer his FG% was the highest and most consistent it ever been at 45% for 135 games he played for Denver.

Yall boys and this nonsense:camby:


Curry shoots 44% on threes :mjpls:


Denver was also better when they traded his ass for Chauncey Billups

Wade's best seasons shyt all over AI and it's not really close. Wade scores slightly less but is much more efficient offensively, is a better playoff performer, is a better and more versatile defender, is a better team player, and is much higher b-ball IQ.

I don't know what your criteria is for Wade's best seasons shytting on Iverson's best seasons. Iverson averaged more pts, more assists, more steals, only .2 more TOs, shot better 3pt %, got to the line more and shot a better FT % for his career, and did it over a much longer period on worse teams with little to no support. Like I said it's up for debate, but Iverson's best seasons are better than Wade's best season and that's actually not up for debate.

Wade is def a better defender, team player, and a higher bball iq though.

Of course the ATL
But i will say this. Put Curry on that 01 sixers team and they are in the lottery.

Nah

An offensively efficient Curry, who is still a PG & would get more shots for his teammates in good positions, probably wins MORE games than AI that yr. Put it this way, put AI on last yr's Warriors, do they get past MEM?

I'll take Curry in this one
