30ppg over a couple years is superstar numbers. There are dozens of dudes who averaged 30 for a season who never became superstars.

When did Rick Barry didn't became a superstar? The guy led the Warriors to their 2nd championship.

And Dantley is a 6x all-star, 2x All-NBA 2nd team. He's around the stardom level of J Oneal in his prime. That's borderline-superstar status.

Point taken. But Pistons were 32-50 when he averaged that numbers. The team's record got better the following year, but his scoring dipped by 9 PPG.

He's a very good player but a regular season stats guy.meaning In the postseason when people actually give a shyt and scout u and take away your strengths his 5'7 ass isn't taking over

Riley hates small point guards (Same reason we didn't go for Lowry) and IT is getting older. You know that. He'd probably be great for us too and we're good enough defensively to for us.



AI didn't even lead the 76ers to the finals.

What the fukk

Rick was a superstar stupid

A superstar that gets benched for defensive possessions.

a superstar that has a negative net rating in the 4th quarters... oh the same 4th quarters he supposedly takes over.

A superstar that is ranked 86th out of 86 point guards on defense

Its rare you can cite a series in which a player lost to elevate their legacy but AI's legendary game 1 against the Lakers is the rare exception. I want to see baby bop lead the Celtics to the finals and hang 48 and a dub on the Warriors and then we can revisit this.

People just don't get it. It's always "efficiency" when it comes to AI. Leave that man alone, he knew he was the first, usually only option and took whatever shot he pleased. Dude didn't care about that "efficiency" jazz rookie year crossing up himself lol

Call yourself leading the team in a series where you went 5-26 in a game and won

Imagine if Lebron went 5-27 and got a win

Being inefficient separates GOAT from really amazing.

Taking whatever shots you please isn't a good thing. IT scores almost as much on DRASTICALLY less attempts and he does it as a much better shooter than Iverson was.
