Don't do that, was Iverson playing with multiple All-NBA contemporaries in '01 or nah?
How about '20 Jimmy Butler?
What about Duncan in the 00s, particularly 2001-07, a stretch he pulled in 3 rings?
'11 Dirk?
'07 LeBron?
'15 Steph?
I mean this list is endless....
Him and Giannis, more than anybody else, these two are under the gun for sure for sure. Put up or shut up time...
Different league than Iverson’s day. You need super teams now. Plus all the guys you named had WAAAAAYYYYY more help.
Jimmy Butler got Adebayo, Hero, Robinson and Dragic. All those guys played better than the Trailblazers. I can barely name the guys outside of Dame and Cj. That’s how weak they are. And Cj is spotty at best.
Duncan, Dirk and Bron? Seriously. They’re all way better than Dame. That’s why.
Steph had Klay, Dray, Iggy and Livingston who again are much better than the Trailblazers squad.
The whole time you watched Miami play this Finals or the Warriors back in the day you knew 4-5 guys could score at any moment (Steph, Klay, Iggy, Livingston, Dray, Jimmy, Dragic, Herro, Adebayo, Duncan Robinson). The Trailblazers on the other hand ARE TRASH. If Dame wasn’t scoring or if CJ wasn’t scoring, then the team wasn’t doing nothing because the other nikkas are bums. They don’t have the defensive guys that can affect the game either (Adebayo, Dray, Iggy, Jimmy, Livingston).
