[IGSaint12]

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

Like Yao Ming...the All-NBA center who T-Mac played with for 5 seasons of what should have been his prime and averaged more than Pau in every playoff run he made with McGrady?

 

[Taadow]

...because T-Macs body has been lightweight retired for 5 years already...

 

[Silkk]

Maybe because T-mac didnt have a press conference

 

[MoneyTron]

Iverson was by far the bigger star.

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).

This thread

ai is not the goat 6ft player and its not really arguable

The one who bought Kobe up is a Kobe "hater".

 

[Big Boss]

Iverson is an ICON

Iverson's long thick cornrows was tougher than's TMAC's whole body.

 

[TheNig]

Don't try to slide that in there breh

You my dawg but I'm #LWO for life. That 16-1 had me like at 17 yrs old.

Chris Webber at the FT line saying "There is no hope"

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.

Greatest Team of all time?
His shoe was hottest post jordan?

Iverson was such a polarizing player, he was a hero in the Black community but to white people he symbolized everything wrong with the modern NBA right or wrong. TMac was an impressive player and in his prime was maybe a more prolific scorer than Kobe, but he did not garnet that level of attention off the court.

Who's better who's 6ft or shorter?
