Who is more dominant Iverson or Curry?

[AlainLocke]

Lets not act like iverson didnt have some dudes in his team.

Prime dikembe,

Prime theo ratliff

Damn tony kukoc and aaron mcckie scoring from 3

Mutumbo wasn't in his prime...his prime was with the Nuggets. He was at the beginning of the end.

Tony Kukoc was old and only stayed a season.

Aaron Mckie wouldn't get off the bench today.

That team was trash and played in one of the worst eras for the Eastern Conference like ever...

That team would've been an 8th seed in the West.

Iverson was taking 25 shots a game and averaging 31 points in 42 mins and nobody else on the team even averaged 15 points...

Iverson would be the perfect guy to go against these warriors though. A one on one demon who could break down the D...get to the rack and finish with contact and shoot. Players like him show the cracks in the Warriors armor

Bron would kill to go back into the reverse delorean and bring prime AI to finals with him

The Warriors would just force A.I. into taking long 2s, and he'd fall into the false sense of thinking that's the way to beat them -- all the while GS went down the other end and let shyt fly behind the arc. And you should be able to fill in the rest of the story. I don't think there's another player in history that would ever complement LeBron's game like Kyrie quite did.

Dame Lillard would do work with Bron doe

 

[Born2BKing]

These dudes lowkey think they could take Curry simce physically hes not imposing and shoots 3s.

Curry is probably the most skilled nba player of the past several years

Coli nikkas be like

Then.....

 

[Drip Bayless]

There is NO WAY Steph could take that Sixers team to the finals
nikka been going Danny Phantom in critical moments then showing up when all the pressure is off since 2016
Ion even have no beef with Curry, but if you need somebody to carry your squad, a guy who can will you to a that one win, Curry aint him
Klay Thompson is better under pressure if we keeping it 1thouwow

Yeah he is better than Iverson but AI was more clutch

Based on what exactly?

Klay Thompson is better under pressure if we keeping it 1thouwow

 

[Drip Bayless]

Based on what exactly?

He not consistent enough in crunch time too make it past 2 game sevens with no other players to lighten the load on offense

What the hell does this even mean?

 

[Dame Dash's Motor Oil]

What the hell does this even mean?

It means that with Aaron Mckie and Eric Snow as his second and third offensive options, instead of what he has now, Curry might not do so hot in a pressure situation like a Game 7. And Iverson was definetly more clutch than Curry, although an inferior player. Same thing with Klay. Klay's 2016 WCF Game 6 is a legendary playoff performance. Curry has no such games...yet

 

[Copy Ninja]

Iverson's dominance has been forgotten

And I enjoy watching the Chef cook. But Iverson was

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It means that with Aaron Mckie and Eric Snow as his second and third offensive options, instead of what he has now, Curry might not do so hot in a pressure situation like a Game 7.

Except we already have plenty of evidence of how well Curry performs in elimination games. Nevermind the fact that Snow and McKie would've been perfect complementary players to Curry - allowing him to play off the ball (where they could act as playmakers), primarily use his energy for offense, while they handled the bulk of the defensive duties; he would've practically played the exact same role as A.I.

In fact, that squad would be perfect for Curry to see just what his max-PPG would be for an entire season.

Can we stop acting like A.I. wasn't carried by his team's defense when he had inefficient games in the playoffs? And let's not get into the whole officiating saga that clouds that Bucks/76ers series either.

Y'all dudes seriously need to stop looking at these scenarios in a vacuum.

And Iverson was definetly more clutch than Curry, although an inferior player.

This isn't true, at all.

Same thing with Klay. Klay's 2016 WCF Game 6 is a legendary playoff performance. Curry has no such games...yet

Not only has Curry had games either equal or better than that in the playoffs, but you have a bad memory of how that Game 6 played out:

"Curry had 14 in the 3rd quarter, Klay had 6.
Klay had 19 in the 4th quarter, Curry had 8.

Out of the 60 2nd half points the Warriors scored in game 6, Curry had 22 and Klay had 25.

It just so happens, the Thunder's offense faded/GS' defense picked up in the 4th quarter when Klay got hot..............When Curry dropped 14 in the 3rd, OKC was still scoring (in fact they outscored them in the 3rd by 3 despite Curry's scoring outburst).

In all honesty, they did it together. It just so happened the defense showed up when Klay was hot. I remember thinking OKC might have weathered Curry's scoring outburst in the 3rd and they might really win this based on how many rebounds they were grabbing."

@DarkSkinSamurai

And on the whole point of "Klay's better under pressure", did both of y'all forget what happened in the '15 Finals?

Over the last three games:

Curry averaged 28 ppg on high efficiency (also averaged more points in the clutch than any other player in the series - including LeBron)
Klay averaged 8 ppg on low efficiency

Basically, Curry was dragging his team's offense against a defense centered around getting the ball out of his hands, where his second-option either was in foul trouble or didn't show up on offense.

Klay was still better in that Game 6 in 2016 WCF which was the single most crucial game in this whole Warrior run of dominance because of what happened later with Durant and all that...I forgot how ass he was in 2015 though. Curry was definetly more clutch in 2015, Klay in 2016, 2017 they weren't tested at all, this year I'd argue it's a tie
