Better player: Curry or Iverson?

[Draje]

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, shot better 3pt %, got to the line more and shot a better FT % for his career. 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's best season

30.2 PPG (49% shooting) / 7.5 AST (3.4 TOV) / 5 REB and he did that playing 38 minutes a game

The only season where AI had more assists (7.9 AST), he was also much less efficient (30.7 PPG on 42% shooting) and 4.6 TOV.

So AI averaged a couple more points on way less efficieny, had way more turnovers, and wasn't as good defensively.

Pick the season that was better than Wade's best.

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

Wade - fg 49%, 3pt 28.9%., 8.1 fta 75.5%, 4.9 reb, 5.9 asts, 1.7 stls, 3.4 to, 24.1 pts over 12 seasons

Iverson - 42.5%, 31.3%, 8.9 fta 78%, 3.7 reb, 6.2 asts, 2.2 stls, 3.6 to, 26.7 pts over 14 seasons

Wade def a better all around defender, better shooter, but also had more help so he could make it a point to take better shots. Again I'm not saying Iverson's better, but it's debatable.

So AI averaged a couple more points on way less efficieny, had way more turnovers, and wasn't as good defensively.

Pick the season that was better than Wade's best.

Wade averaged over 7 asts 2 times, Iverson did it 5 times, Iverson also averaged over 30 pts 4 times Wade did it once.

The season Wade avg 7.5 asts he averaged 4.2 to, when Iverson averaged 7.9 asts he averaged 4.6 to (Iverson actually had a better ast to to ratio); also Iverson beat him in every other stat except fg % (49.1 to 42.4) and reb (4.7 to 4.0), 3pt % AI - 30.8% Wade 26.6%, ft% AI-83.5 Wade- 80.7%, steals AI-2.4 to Wade-2.1, pts AI - 30.7 Wade - 27.4

No matter what you say it's up for debate. Iverson's stats are better than Wade's and his best seasons are better than Wade's, and he did it on his own his entire career.

AI will forever be remembered more & was more impactful.. Iverson is & was bigger than the game... There's only few people in sports who can say that

Man I was in the CHOP when I was 11 bout to die,they thought it was a tumor in my colon and shyt.

Watching that Game 1 versus the Lakers gave a little breh hope , no one thought we had a chance to win. That whole MVP season was fukking beautiful to watch ....great time to be a Sixers fan in the tri-state area.


fukk his 'ball-hogging'..breh is one of my greats.

The season Wade avg 7.5 asts he averaged 4.2 to, when Iverson averaged 7.9 asts (same exact ast to to ratio), he averaged 4.6 to; also Iverson beat him in every other stat except fg % (49.1 to 42.4) and reb (4.7 to 4.0), 3pt % AI - 30.8% Wade 26.6%, ft% AI-83.5 Wade- 80.7%, steals AI-2.4 to Wade-2.1, pts AI - 30.7 Wade - 27.4

No matter what you say it's up for debate. Iverson's stats are better than Wade's and his best seasons are better than Wade's, and he did it on his own his entire career.

Who the fukk cares?

Wade scored almost as many points on VASTLY higher efficiency, while averaging a better A/T ratio.

It doesn't matter if AI is better at the line or shooting three pointers because he's still much less efficient scorer than Wade.

Wade's stats are comparable in every aspect while being much more efficient at scoring and playing almost 5-6 less minutes a game.

Stop separating stuff.

30.2 on 49% is better than 30.7 on 42%.

When Wade averaged 7.5 AST, he averaged 3.4 TOV. Are you dumb?

Try again. 3 point percentage doesn't matter because it doesn't make AI a better scorer. Wade scores just as much, or slightly less, on way less attempts.

He didn't have a better assist to turnover ratio Iverson did, while also beating him at just about every other stat.

Like I said multiple times now, I'm not saying Iverson was better, but it is up for debate.

And as for who cares, if you're gona list stats to make your point, I'm gona list the ones that make mine.

Wade also only played 51 games that year, a lot easier to be efficient in less games.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Curry shoots 44% on threes


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

they made more moves that offseason than just Chauncey. lol.

plus the west was weaker, and they only won 5 more games.

This couldn't be more further from the truth.

This couldn't be more further from the truth.

Go look at the numbers and tell me how I'm wrong. Only thing Wade had over him is fg% and rebounds by literally less than 1rpg. Iverson has him in every other category.

And as far as doing it on his own, I'm going to assume you didn't mean to leave that in bold cause no one can argue that Iverson ever had any real help until Melo and his best days were already behind him at that point.

And this is where I see myself out.

And this is where I see myself out.

Why's that?

 

[Malta]

Their core was the same and they made it out of the first round

We gonna act Curry wouldn't have done better with that Nuggets roster with Melo?

 

[Lifer11]

And this is where I see myself out.

My bad over their careers Wade avg's 1.2 more reb than Iverson. Besides fg % and to's Iverson has him in every other category.

 

[Draje]

He didn't have a better assist to turnover ratio Iverson did, while also beating him at just about every other stat.

Like I said multiple times now, I'm not saying Iverson was better, but it is up for debate.

And as for who cares, if you're gona list stats to make your point, I'm gona list the ones that make mine.

But it's irralevent. Wade scores just as many points or slightly less on vastly higher efficiency, averaged just as many or more assists on less turnovers, and did this all in less time that AI did.

Wade scores his 30 on great efficiency, AI scores his 30 on awful efficiency.

AI having more points doesn't mean he had a better season because he took way more attempts to get less than 1 PPG more.
