pound-for-pound, iverson is arguably better than kobe. and he was definitely considered better back in the day. but rings and media conditioning change things in the eyes of the newer fans.

and kobe would be an absolute DISASTER in philly. they wouldn't win chit with him, and he'd be out as soon as his contract ran out. hell, he'd probably force a trade beforehand.
In no context was Iverson a better player than Kobe. None.

how old are you breh?

there were a grip of guys that were considered just as good or better than kobe. they just weren't on great teams.

and I admit, I'm guilty of doing what youre doing with derek fisher. I had him too high on here.

I'm old enough to have seen both their careers play out from beginning to end. Having seen each player from start to finish, nobody in their right mind would take Iverson over Kobe if they re-did the draft.

I realize Iverson is like a father figure to some of you on here, but that does not mean he was a better player than Kobe.

Talent wise, McInnis & Chucky are definitely better. Derek landed in the right situation where he could just fill a role. He never stood out for doing anything more than hitting timely/clutch open shots & and playing solid on ball defense.


good point and yea, he is a few spots too high.

but who would you rather have as the general of your offense? who would you rather have taking those open clutch shots?

back to the kober/Iverson thing.

and @Regular_P I apologize if I was too harsh in my previous post.

regardless of who you think is better, this is a draft. not a rankings list. some of the dudes in here are so caught up with idol worship that they cant even understand the premise of the thread.

1.) kobe on the late '90s sixers would be a disaster.
2.) people either forget or don't know that Iverson was drafted as a point guard. what sense would it make to draft kobe when the sixers had just drafted Stackhouse a year prior?
3.) the city wanted Iverson.

Even tho tobe is the better player. I would rather have a because he isn't a c00n and is a real nikka unlike tobe. And besides tobe is a bed buck:mjlol:

you've replied to like 3 of my threads within the past day alone.

and again, this isn't about who's better. but youre exposing yourself if you think AI being better than kobe is an idiotic statement. its so easy to spot a noob. youre also the same bul that thinks 2pac's 1st 2 albums are classics.

A.I. definitely stays at #1.

I feel like if kobe would have been drafted by the raptors they would've never had vinsanity and t-mac later on.:yeshrug:


they would've still got one of them.

they would've been right back in the lottery the next 2 years.

they wouldn't be able to co-exist tho.
