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.
How stupid can you be? MJ's shoes were the hottest shoe out post-Jordan. :mjlol:

Wow, somebody needs to delete this thread this is nothin but fukk shyt.

1. OP either ain't watch basketball in that era or is an a$$hole. T-Mac was struggling to be in Kobe's league, meanwhile AI was the only nikka on Kobe's level and he was much smaller. You gotta be fukkin kidding me. :wtf:

2. The 2001 run that GOAT franchise in the playoffs hasn't been bested yet, that is quite possibly the greatest postseason team ever. And AI stole a game from them with a squad of Mutumbo, his finger wag, and a slew of scrub nikkaz. T-Mac couldn't even get out of the first round, even with Yao. :childplease:

3. Yall nikkaz need to stop speaking false shyt. T-Mac never made it to his "prime" first of all cuz dude was falling the fukk off by his prime years. At best he made things interesting, but he couldn't compare to Kobe then and never will in history. Yall need to compare T-Mac to nikkaz like Vince or Joe Johnson. T-Mac is what Kobe would've become if he had no heart and ain't give a fukk about being the best, but Kobe hatin season won't end until he's six feet deep, I might be giving yall too much credit tho cuz I doubt it'd end there. :snoop:

Iverson probably had one of the top five cultural impacts of any ATHLETE of the modern era... certainly one of the top ten. Tracy McGrady was a great player for probably six years or so. There's levels to this shyt.

TMac never had nikkas wearing arm sleeves for no damn reason....when they weren't playing basketball.

this

look at how many nikkas are now wearing the one arm sleeve in the NFL and college football

A.I. was the first nikka to do that. Then the rest of the NBA caught on. Now they even got nikkas playin quarterback and receiver wearing it.

I'd say he's prolly the 2nd most impactful athlete in American history after Muhammad Ali.
