In a re-draft of the 96 draft. Nash over Iverson :mjpls: . He also says he'll take Ray Allen ahead of Iverson.

So basically he has Iverson going fourth :mjtf:

:gucci:It is.

Steve ain't better than AI... Like not even close. Those 6ixers teams would've been in the lottery with Nash.

Nash exploded when the league fully instituted freedom of movement.
Those suns teams might not be as good with Iverson either, Nash was the perfect PG to run the 7 seconds or less offense with

Iverson isn’t a better shooter or playmaker than Nash

AI was a fierce competitor, tough, athletic & relished big moments. He put asses in seats & he was an icon. He took a team with few offensive options through The East to Staples against The Lakers and delivered one of the most indelible moments in Finals history

He was also inefficient with a style that wasn’t necessarily conducive to sharing the offensive load even if he actually had help. He was also embroiled in front office issues & a myriad of off the court shyt (allegedly) that cant be discounted if you were running a team

Nash & Ray never made it to the Finals as top dogs. Nash didn’t play a lick of D & Ray didn’t lead a team deep in the playoffs outside of 01...ever

You also knew what you were going to get from these guys in terms of personality & fit. These guys only made the news for playing ball...that’s it

Had AI had more playoff success this would be a tougher one to put over. The fact is some will prefer AI’s 01 peak versus Ray’s/Steve’s consistency & professionalism and vice versa
