nikkas keep saying Ai took them to the finals. But do y'all even remember the elite east teams then? A jkidd led nets team? Vince lead raptors ? :deadrose:
The competition in this east is 100x better now.
Iverson would not even get to Easter conference finals in this time

25th
13th - 2001 Final
23rd
11th
26th

Let ROSE be ROSE and lead his team (Iverson had a weaker team btw in a tougher conference/league) to a NBA Finals

:heh:

What team in the East that year was as good as the 2011 Heat?

The Sixers got taken to 7 games by the Raptors, a team that had 32 year old Antonio Davis as it's 2nd best player.

They needed the refs to beat the Bucks in 7 games.

People acting like Iverson wouldn't have gotten his ass waxed by the Heat?

not this shyt again, man smh

Rose shot 1/15 when Lebron was guarding him. When Lebron wasn't guarding him, he was lighting up the likes of Mario Chalmers. Where was that "team defense" when guys other than Lebron were guarding him?

AI is the only reason that those Lakers didn't clean sweep the entire playoffs. :dahell:

He beat one of the best teams of all time in the Finals by himself on their court. Dude is certified.

nikka, do you know who you talking to here? You quoted DMV nikkaz, we live near Georgetown University
The one thing all people of color in this area had in common, when it came to college basketball?
We all claimed Georgetown :blessed: (Non bout it members rode with Maryland)

Anywayz, we seen A.I. from College to the pro's up close. The 76ers was never a team that struggled on offense. But even with Rose Chicago has struggled in that department. Plus we in the era where Defense is not mandatory, and there are no real Big Men outside of Howard that consistently patrol the paint

In Iversons's day he had to deal with hand checking and nikka checking :whoo:

So once again, you must have not seen Iverson play bruh :camby:

Beasley :whoa:

Unless you live in chicago, you too are one of those underoo tight jeanz nikkaz :facepalm:

You don't even know what revisionist history means since you doing exactly that.
Your version of history is on a piece of paper :hula: Air Alert
Anyone who seen both players play, there is no debate. I don't have to go "Man, this is a tough question :patrice:"

None of that. Rose looks good right now. Best player in the league looking at Team USA
Guess what, lets go off that hype and now put his career arc over Iversons :blessed:

Iverson beat Prime Kobe & Shaq by himself pretty much. Lets forget all this while we reconstruct history breh

-Iverson's Sixers were always a elite defensive team and an average/subpar offensive team, in the years when their defense wasn't good, they wouldnt make the playoffs or get knocked out in the first round

-thbucks were the only team that won 50+ games in 2001 in the East. The Heat was the 2nd best team in the East and they has a better record than the 01 Sizers did. and then there the Celtics and Magic which won more than 50 games. If you really think that the 2001 East was more stacked than the Eastern Conference in 2011 then u are super retarded.

- u are just going to reward Iverson for Game one? What about Eric snow guarding Kobe? Mutombo grabbing all those rebounds? Or even Larry Brown coaching?
