why Iverson's retirement has more media attention than Tmacs

[Shameonyou]

iverson was the better player..nobody can do what iverson did at his size besides isiah thomas....chris paul is this generations iverson in terms of physical stature and being able to be elite...i dont give these 6 8 230 nikkas that can jump out gyms any props for being naturally blessed...i respect the ones that still compete at an elite level when they are fukkin 5 9

TMAC didn't have LeBron calling him the greatest pound for pound player of all time when he retired

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

isiah thomas

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.

being tall...you have higher hips and can't change direction quickly. That's why i love football....average height is the advantage most of the time. 5'10" - 6'1" you can be a best cause you got enough stature and can change direction at optimum speed.

bastketball doesn't have enough physicality to make height a disadvantage in which getting leverage is meaningful.

True

Tmac pretty much get no love after retiring.

yeah....it was! iverson had the media attention/ cultural icon of a MJ and Kobe had the skills of MJ.

i was born in 86' and Iverson was the man my entire pre-teen and teenage years!

No one gives a fukk about Tracy, other than your weird nikkas on here, comparing Iverson to Tracy, please. Tracy had a couple off great seasons, Iverson had a great career.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

because he was a better player, duhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[dc007]

Tmac got to the nba finals


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

Am I the only person to catch this?

 

[Illuminatos]

Why do Kobe fans love to bring up how many points he can score? We know he can score...

 

[Jahmal]

who is Tmac?
