SGA or IVERSON?

Wack comparison.

Shai Butta reminds me of a fully realized Penny Hardaway honestly, maybe there's a better comparison but off the top of my head that's where my thoughts take me.

He can have that match up just based on two-way prowess but dumb comparison.

COME IN HERE AND LIE THAT YOU RATHER DRAFT AI

 

[DoubleClutch]

He’s starting to make a case for himself

OH CACNADA*

The haters will have no rebuttal if he wins a title and gets FMVP to complete the trifecta.

26 years old and already surpassed several 2000s era players.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

AI was inefficient because he was 6'0" and played ball his way. We're talking an entire career not one season. And he never shot 47% in any season.

You sure you actually watched this era of basketball, because you’re data mining without context. Iverson was drafted in 96. How old were you by the year 2000?

NBA fans earning the WOAT badge lol

For real….

Yea but Iverson lead the league in steals so he has some defensive impact

Plus you know defense these days is easy if any is even being played at all during the regular season

Steals is not a good measure of defense

 

[Rekkapryde]

Is he a Knicks fan?

 

[WhoShotCha]

SGA isn't nowhere close as good as AI was. I hate that everyone care share their opinion in 2025

 

[lib123]

I think the same can be applied to Shai as Harden when comparing them to AI.



This is why a lot of us rank AI higher.

Steals is not a good measure of defense

Steals doesn’t mean you play great defense but it doesn’t mean nothing either. It’s a perfectly reasonable stat to look at the bigger picture overall and leading the league in steals isn’t a stat you can just dismiss

Not dismissing but it doesn't means you a good defender
