Seriously? :heh:

These 90's/2000's babies don't know what it was like watching the GOATs of the 90's perform. NBA has fallen off and aint been shyt since 2004.

I really shouldn't but fukk it the nikka retired anyway this my favorite AI tale.

A nikka I know that went to Hampton seen that nikka one time during his MVP season out there and as it was relayed to me dude is a total street nikka with the strap and all, he even dropped it on some drunk shyt gettin out the car like Birdman did on that one MTV special. So this nikka just posted with these nikkaz with his bottle sippin acting like he not the runaway MVP of the NBA, if you know Hampton you know its bad ass broads out there so this one BAD bytch stepped to him and flat out said she'd suck him off right there. This nikka AI was like "bytch, if you don't get the fukk out my face I don't know you!" and curved the shyt outta her to her absolute amazement and disappointment. My mans and his nikkaz was all like "Shiiiiiiiiiiiit, you can bop me off girl!:usure:" So anyways, they end up walking into a Burger King and its some broads sitting in a booth and this nikka AI step to them and straight up was like "Which one of you bytches is gon suck my dikk?" One of them broads got saditty talkin bout "Just cuz you AI don't mean you can just talk to people any kinda way." and this nikka responds with "bytch did I tell you what my name was?! :childplease:"

I can't remember if he got one of them broads to fukk I think he did, usually by that part of the story I would be laughing hysterically. nikkaz that know even a little about the off camera AI got the utmost respect just off the strength of how he was representing at the time. No way in hell he'd survive in this era.

:ohhh: He really was the epitome of what every street nikka in every rec center across the country would be if they got drafted.

'cot damn.:wow:

MJ was still "pound for pound" better than Iverson. I really can't stand this phrase because it gives people excuses to say dumb shyt like this. Just say he was great and overcame his size deficiency better than anyone. Doesn't mean he was "pound for pound" better than other players just because he's smaller

Literally, that's what made hearing 40 barz so hilarious cuz I couldn't tell if he was just rappin or serious. :russ:

I used to always wish Kobe was like that, he was my favorite player but if he had been on some AI shyt I woulda been an even bigger stan than I am now. I was actually in LA when he first got arrested in Colorado the shyt had me thinkin he got caught with the straps and really was lowkey a gangsta on some Harvin Marrison shyt. When I found out what it was about and seen that press conference when he was like :wowkobe: I fukkin pissed myself laughing.

Judge players on winning and then cape for AI, brehs.

he did more at 5'11" than any other human being not named isiah thomas. we talkin bout pound for pound here. there's a reason 6 of the top 10 players in NBA history are centers. its a big mans game. little dude ain't posed to dominate.

6'6" super athletes come around often. during MJs era there was Clyde. now we got Kobe. who knows Exum or Wiggins can be the next in line.

there has been no one else like A.I. 5'11" dudes who dominate the NBA by scoring simply don't exist. a 6'6" A.I. would be a cheat code.

NONE of those guys are as good as the dudes who came in the mid to late 90s breh
Yeah, and I never said they did

I clearly said the 2 guard posistion isnt as bad as people make it out to seem. Everybody I listed there is 25 or younger.

Y'all dudes love AI, probably because he was the rebel. He was never the best at anything but heart. There were better scorers, better defenders, more explosiveness, waaaaay better shooters, and more willing passers....and he had no range. Dude took 25 shots and 11 FTs to get you 30 LOL.

But he was relentless, and his ability to get off a shot was great. He also had the worst shot selection, this side of Jamal Crawford. He also created a bunch of those non-passing combo guards that dribble too much. But honestly, his best season I think was with Melo. And there they played "you shot last time, I'm taking this one".

I think that came from the fact that Iverson still got the youth in his face, and he was never that tall to begin with, so he's not lumbering around socially awkward like the 6'4-6'8 players.

He got the money, the notary, yet none of the detriment of being tall enough to be elite in the NBA. He can move just like a regular dude, cause he aint built like an NBA guy.

Only other player close is Nate Robinson.

Nate on some rah rah shyt but I think his dad played in the NFL so I can't say whether or not he a street nikka on the level of AI. With AI it was literally a super athletic hood nikka, like a thug with above average height. But you honestly could find nikkaz taller or bigger than him, his heart really spoke to his thuggin ass ways.

This is the stupidest shyt I've ever read on the Coli. Anyone who could watch a basketball game and say some dumb ass stuff like this is someone I would never take seriously.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not very easy to score something in the high 20s on 56% shooting otherwise, everyone would do it. The ability to read defenses, get to the lane, and finish like he does is elite. Not only that but Lebron makes stupid, off balance shots all the goddamn time. He just prefers to find better shots or avenues to score if he can.

Literally said that Nick Young is better at getting buckets than Lebron James.

LEBRON CANT SHOOT. He's a streaky shooter who relies on his size and athleticsm to score at and near the rim using mostly brute force and little skill or finesse. He does have that nice step back one legged bank shot from the corner left:banderas:

I just call ignored how I see it. You don't have to agree with me. Others will :manny:

I'm a lebron fan too, but scoring is not his best skill

Lebron shoots either much better or comparable to Nick Young from better everywhere on the floor despite being assisted far less.

Nick young:
3-9 FT: 43.8% FG / Assisted 14.3%
10-15 FT: 52.4% FG / 42.3% AST
16-23 FT: / 34% FG / 56.1% AST
25 FT / 52.4% eFG / 83.6% AST

Lebron:
3-9 FT: 60% FG / 23.2 AST
10-15 FT: 40.7% FG / 13.5 AST
16-23 FT: 46% FG / 21.6 AST
25 FT: 60.9% FG / 53.8 AST

Nick Young only shoots better from 10-15 FT but he's also assisted a far larger amount than Lebron who is typically creating most of his points off the dribble, despite what you may think.

Lebron pretty much rapes him in every other category.

Oh, another funny story...Lebron attempted more shots in most every category and still beats him in FG% DESPITE being assisted less.

I'll wait for more about how your opinion completely overrides all the stats and information that disagrees with you.
