Mutumbo had a good series but game six AI scored 46 nobody else showed up. Game 7 he came back and scored 44. What more do you want.
Isaiah Thomas is putting up Iverson numbers...

Let me leave this here since you werent watching basketball yet
Who said Iverson didn't have amazing games?
But how about that whole series? Iverson had games here he went 5-26 (L) 10-32 (W), 5-27 (W).
And those games were decided by a couple of points so Mutumbo's defense and rebounding was the game changer in those games. You put any great scoring guard in that position and let him shoot as much as Iverson did and I bet they'd go 5-26.
shyt, I bet IT wishes he could go 5-27 and win a playoff game
King Mutumbo outchea anchoring that top flight Philly defense, averaging the most rebounds, and maximizing possessions. Dropped 21 in that one point victory in game 5.
I bet IT wishes he had a DPOTY and 6MOTY on his squad

Iverson averaged 30 points on 34% shooting from the field!
Post was definitely referencing you bringing up how good the Bucks were on offense as a response to A.I.'s shytty play against them
I'll just leave this link comparing AIs mvp season to ITs current season 
http://bkref.com/tiny/OpGfd
Play 44 mins and shoot 28 shots just to average 31 brehs

And AI didn't go 5-27 in game 5 and get carried by Mutumbo after shooting something like 16%?
Or Iverson going 10-32 in game 4 but also pulling out a win while Mutumbo didn't anchor the defense, grab 15 rebounds, and drop 17 Points on 54% shooting?
Iverson's offense was absolutely essential but that team carried each other. Iverson was allowed to focus almost entirely on offense but playoffs is about defense and controlling possession. That team cleaned up and made it possible for Iverson to do what he did. It was built that way.
Y'all think I'm saying Iverson didn't have an amazing game and some unstoppable moments but those moments don't define the entirety of a series. I look at everything and Mutumbo was the consistently impactful person on those Bucks. Not just scoring but I'm talking about everything and especially the defense which is what those 76ers were actually elite atX
I do think that Bucks team was good,i dont remember what AI's numbers were in that series without looking for them....Either way i still think they could have beat this years C's....If the Celtics go on a run in these playoffs im sure itll change alot of peoples minds

I acknowledged he had a good series but you are overdoing it with this Iverson just sat on his ass on defense. Was he elite no. Did he try, yes. There was a game I believe against the Pacers where he had 10 steals. I think that was a playoff record. He wasn't just waiting to play offense.
In every advanced measurable metric IT has been better AI in his half season so far. I just can't believe the jump he made. I didn't think he could be a top option exclusively night after night.
I don't think any one would argue that AI was a superior talent though. And he played under the old handchecking rules where defenders were allowed to hold and grab and bump him every night.
With the free flowing game now Iverson would be devastating today...and without the physicality he would have free reign to attack.
He"d most likely be a lot more efficient in today's game.
And as great as AI was he could have been even better. He had elite passing and playmaking skills that he just didn't use enough

In Iverson defense he never played with the offensive talent it4 has on his squad except when they whereor melo.
probably because he was incapable of playing with other scorers.
only way AI could a ring is if he played with tim duncan

I come here for the comedy. Not these nikkas' opinionsthe coli never ceases to amaze me, IT is better than AI and Rick Ross is top 10 DOA
What dumbass fukking outlandish opinion that you will only see here will they come up with next?
Lmao wut? Isaiah typically sees soft-doubles until the second half and will see hard doubles if he starts heating up. A lot of Smart's easy post ups and Horford's open shots is the result of defenses being keyed in on IT.
Figure out IT? He's been leading the league in 4th quarter scoring. He's been tearing through multiple elite defenses and slicing through entire teams to get to the rim.
IT still averaging almost as many PPG on drastically higher efficiency, almost 10 less minutes, and more assists. You don't think that's crazy?
