AI was one of the most polarizing athletes of the last 25 years and the poster boy of the post MJ era. Doesn't hurt that he's arguably the GOAT 6 ft ball player (and I'm not an AI fan at all).

Tmac was better

Iverson was more relevant. T-Mac was a poor man's Kobe that was only hot for 2 seasons. A.I. carried a bunch of no names into the finals and beat (for one game) maybe the greatest team of all time. He also brought cornrolls into the league. His shoe was the hottest post-Jordan.

Cultural icon through and through.

Prime/healthy Tmac>>>Kobe

Cosby+copy.jpg


Prime Kobe = 35/5/5 for a season, 81 pts in a game, 62 in 3 qtrs, 50+ for 4 straight games, 40+ 9 straight games. Plus Kobe was playing that all-nba 1st team defense.

T-Mac at his best was a poor man's Kobe.

Tmac best season was 32/6.5/5.5, it's a wash stat wise between their best seasons, but Tmac was the harder cover because of this length and height

you do know that 3 ppg is a big difference

tons of dudes have averaged 32ppg, shyt Kobe did that the season after he did 35ppg when he was recovering from knee surgery (31.6ppg/6/5)

but Kobe in 2005-06 did shyt that only MJ and Wilt had ever done before

that is HISTORIC

T-Mac never did anything historic. His career high was 62 points. He never had runs like Kobe did where he would go off on 40+ or 50+ point game streaks. No one in they right mind would think those dudes are close. One is a all-time legend and the other dude is a guy who never made it out the first round.

Tmac got to the nba finals


And Kobe wasn't getting out the first round without an all star big

Are you trying to say tmac was a harder cover even though kobe has the more scoring highs and the higher scoring season between the two? That makes no sense breh. What tmac had over height with kobe, kobe had better post moves, speed and jumping ability.
