Where would Iverson rank among guards if he played today?

[Raw Lyrics]

Imagine any PG today besides Curry and maybe Kyrie taking a game off the 2001 Lakers with Aaron Mckie as your 2nd option.

Real shyt.

Numbers projections are one thing. ...id see him having the same fruitless career

I wont go as far to say hes a bad player like some others (maybe not the most effective team player or leader), but it is his imagrey that carried his legacy moreso than his game...which aint all bad at all...it is entertainment...we accept and celebrate that from others like Rodman for instance

Guess its persective

Some could and do say melos career was fruitless...others could point to his gold medal and ncaa championship and consider it glorious....

Fair enough

[cleanface coney]

coli be worse than nikkas in the barbershop big facts lol

 

[Bledswole]

Hard to say he’d definitely be labeled a scoring point

So I’d put him behind only Curry and Westbrook

Curry goes ahead of him due to his success and 3pt making ability

Westbrook goes ahead because he’s Iverson on steroids

 

[Bledswole]

If he played today he wouldn't be considered that good...

He came up in wannabe Jordan era...where every star player basically iso'd and thru up 25 shots a game...if you could put up 26 points with 26 shots...you was considered a good player back then...

Iverson pretty much failed due to his style of play...he ran off Larry Hughes, Jerry Stackhouse...

He dragged a crappy 76ers team in the crappy East...and after that he was nothing but a first round or 2nd round knock out...

Went to the Nuggets and he was shipped out after 2 seasons...he actually put up decent stats his first year...probably should've learned how to play with another offensive star earlier in his career instead of ball hogging...

His stats are bad...

He played 42 mins a game to put up the numbers he got...while guys like Curry put up the same numbers in 32 mins, guys like Lillard putting up the same numbers in 36 mins...

AI was the epitome of a volume scorer. Guys like Lillard, Curry, Harden blow him out of the water.

Allen Iverson is more of a cultural icon than a good basketball player...favorite player of all time...one of the most talented players to ever play...but a good basketball player?

Nah...

Chauncey Billups was a better player than Iverson....

Idiot

 

[Bledswole]

nikka in here really saying Billups better than Iverson and you got nikkas dapping it up

...today Ive read that Allen Iverson would be Jordan Clarkson and Shaquille Oneal would be Jalil Okafor in this era

This isn't true.

Denver Nuggets Franchise Index | Basketball-Reference.com

You right it was highest win total in like 20 yrs.

 

[FabTrey]

Corny. I.T. is 5'9 185 pound, he's a beast in the weight room and has a 40 inch vertical.

IT is shorter than what you think breh. he is a MIDGET

AI is top 3 scorer in any era.

Yeah he’s 5’9

He’s built and athletic on top of being a highly skilled lefty not 5’5 150 pounds like that nikka tried to make it seem.

A place where quality basketball didn't exist before PS3. I've given up talking basketball with these kids a long time ago
