Was Allen Iverson poor mans Westbrook?

[TyroneRodriguez]

What did ai do in the west with a young melo, Kenyon Martin, nene and mad other nighas I can't think of right now?

Russ almost shytted on the best team in history when he had one more nikka that could get buckets (the servant)

 

[TyroneRodriguez]

HOW is it more impressive when the whole system is based on the bigs letting russ get the rebound to lead the fast break?????????????

So the other teams bigs don't exist?

 

[e001]

nikka really using triple-double as argument

So the other teams bigs don't exist?

yeah but russ's bigs box them out for him to bet the rebound..

AI was under 6ft and took his team to the finals.
Westbrook can't get out the first round.

Westbrook already been to the Finals. Plus the East was complete trash in the early 00s anyway.

Westbrook already been to the Finals. Plus the East was complete trash in the early 00s anyway.

Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, and Harden went to the finals.
westbrook didn't take them to the finals. Stop it

at AI being a poor man anything

at even bringing up Denver like he wasn't there for hot minute

at bringing up the Finals like Russ ain't have KD, Harden and Ibaka while AI was out there by himself against the 3 peat Lakers at their peak who only lost one game the whole postseason against who????

I like Russ but to slight AI to big up Russ is shortsighted and lazy. I'm more impressed with what AI did at his height than Russ is doing at his (he's 5 in taller). Plus like someone mentioned earlier, AI actually plays both side of the court.

Worst thread I've seen in a minute... Russ gotta step his half court game up b4 u can compare him to iverson

 

[New Username]

I'll take AI over Westbrook any day

Replace Russ with AI on OKC when they had Durant and Harden in this NBA climate

 

[nieman]

Man don't compare that statpadder to one of the pound for pound GOATs to ever step on a basketball court(AI).

Iverson had more heart and naturally hated losing way more than Russ. People forget that unlike Russ, AI actually played hard on both sides of the court and lead the NBA in steals multiple years. Despite being smaller he was a much better defender than Russ.

False. AI could and didn't guard a soul. He was SPG leader due to gambling on the passing lanes

easy neg + /thread

All I know is if AI played with a scorer the caliber of KD for most of his prime (and he wasn't in his prime anymore in Denver) I believe he would have taken advantage of that chance at gotten a ring at least.

 

[DoubleClutch]

As good as Westbrook is, his offensive game is limited, predictable, streaky and can be stopped. Iverson, on the other hand, was unstoppable. He got buckets no matter what

 

[mrken12]

He got Bushed within 24 hours of his first post. That's a new low.
