Come to think of it, Allen Iverson was outplayed in every matchup during his run to the 2001 NBA Finals.

Only people who didn't watch, but just pulled stats would say this. Looking at statistics retroactively to try and create narratives is the only thing people do on this site now.

You didn’t put up Ai stats for comparison

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

AI stans are gonna neg you but they won’t have an argument to disprove you.

Sixers got to the Finals because of their defense, not because AI chucking 35 shots on 38% shooting. Yet his stans try pass it off as him carrying a “trash” team.

AI can’t co-exist with other skilled players (Stackhouse, Igoudala, Melo, etc..). So the Sixers built the only type of team he could succeed with; a defense first team that allowed AI to chuck up as many shots as he wanted.

It’s no coincidence that 2001 was the only year that he had any playoff success.

Dude been overrated. Never won shyt.

I only have a problem with the "AI carried a bunch of bums to the Finals" narrative when ever this comes up. He deserved the MVP that season but that Sixers team also included the Defensive Player of the Year, 6th Man of the Year and Coach of the Year.

You cant outplay someone and lose

Facts

Now this is a hot take...





Hope you ready to get negged tho

Facts are facts.

And plus I met Allen Iverson at the airport and ignored me when I tried to talk to him

 

[MostReal]

lol are you aware that the boxscores and the videos of the games themselves exist?
the pacers won what, one game that seriesl. how did reggie outplay him? because he scored less points on a higher percentage in a losing effort??

edit: blocked to avoid future stupidity

OP gotta be a Bron Bot, they think stats overrule what everybody saw

 

[UpAndComing]

The 2001 Bucks also think so

The free throw/Foul disparity was not in their favor. Media wanted the Sixers in the Finals

 

[duckbutta]

B-b-b-but did you watch the games?

Yeah...and we saw Reggie and Vince drop 30 on The Answer

shyt if you giving up 30 what's the question

 

[Bigblackted4]

Correct and they cheated the Bucks

I only have a problem with the "AI carried a bunch of bums to the Finals" narrative when ever this comes up. He deserved the MVP that year but that Sixers team also included that season's Defensive Player of the Year, 6th Man of the Year and Coach of the Year.

They also had the number one defense and rebounding team that his skillset basically had no impact on the sixer's having

 

[GOAT]

The Bucks/Sixers series was an all-time rig job

 

[Primetime21]

Man shut the hell up

 

[darryl]

Thecoli hates Iverson for some reason fukk Kobe stans tho lol
