Would you say AI was better than prime T-Mac?

[GreatestLaker]

The nikka had 3-1 and 2-0 leads in multiple playoffs series breh.

When that nikka said it was over in the press conference after going up 3-1 in the series and then end up losing that series.

But those were better teams his teams lost to. You're really in here blaming him for his team blowing a 3-1 lead to the number 1 seed Pistons?

Don't talk big shyt and not back it up.

Yeah one fluke season don't make AI better than TMac. Not too mention that Philly team is better than anything Mac played with in Orlando

AI never came close to repeating that 2001 Finals trip again. If not for the league and refs they would've lost to Milwaukee that year anyway

Iunno I think that has to factor in. And even you throw that out you can measure the fact that

on 3 different occasions AI came from behind to win a playoff series
on 3 different occasions Tmac came from ahead to lose a playoff series

Tmac always played great and his numbers were gaudy. But he never came up big in the tight pressure situations. Didn't show the killer instinct that he needed to have to step on those teams necks.

AI on the other hand wasn't efficient (his big scoring games were super efficient though) but he always came up big in the big moments. His game 7 against the Bucks ranks among the greatest elimination games ever because he came out and stepped on their necks and never let up.

Tmac in his prime is one of the best players to EVER play

Allen Iverson and its not close.

Outside of 2001 how many times did AI get out of the first round?

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

TMac was playing with nikkas like Bo Outlaw, Darrell Armstrong, Pat Garrity and Gordon Giricek...had Michael fukking Doleac coming off the bench. The team was TRASH!

Only Kobe has taken a more scrub team to the playoffs and he lost a series lead that year too in the first round.

I love AI and will take him over almost anybody despite his height and efficiency issues but Orlando TMac was a better player. In that era it was a conversation between Kobe and TMac...AI was always third in the conversation.

Was AI even thought to be better than Vince?

 

[Wacky D]

1. AI
2. TMac
3. Kobe
4. Vince
5. Runny-Ray

Was AI even thought to be better than Vince?

Iverson was considered better than everybody except Shaq back then.

maybe Duncan too.

I'll take the one with the killer instinct

 

[sfgiants]

tpain the goat underachiever
iverson didn't even work out and was built like patti mayonnaise and still took a trash team to the finals and took a game from what was an unstoppable laker squad led by shaq and a great supporting cast that included derek fisher, rick fox and kobe bryant
