Better player in his PRIME: D Wade or Allen Iverson?

[I Self Lord & Master]

had this discussion in real life several times ...

A.I. Never had any help and took that bum sixer team to the chip. Wade would not take a team of Eric snow, Aaron Mckie, muttombo and George lynch to the finals but A.I could of won the chip on any of wades heat teams including the one with Shaq

Tough because Wade was consistently great over a longer period, but AI's best year trumps Wade's, if I had to choose one to build around I'd take Wade so that's the way I'm going

All the niggas who rocked them wack ass answer shoes and was rockin struggle braids in 00-06 will say iverson

Knowledgeable basketball heads know it's wade

I've seen Iverson crossover people so bad that they're literally laying on the floor while he's driving to the basket

Wade was/is the better player all around

The man has a zone that activates when it's time to win games. I've seen so many instances where on defense wade NEEDS to make a play at the end of the game to secure a win and wills it into existence. He's smarter than people give him credit for also

That steal on John salmons and the buzzer beating three(when he's historically a bad shooter) for example

One more for good measure

Better career ? You wanna say Wade, cool

Better player? Iverson

Watch how many people don't make basketball arguments for Wade being a being player but overly dismissive of the comparison like Iverson was fuckin Monta Ellis

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Unnecessary monta mention, wtf wrong with yall

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

And y is "Iverson is y'all father" a fuckin thing?

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

I'm not mad at those who pick wade tho. I'm leaning there myself, but I'm tired of the Iverson disrespect and with out proper context too

Both were cold...I had to go with Iverson because he took no-name teams to the Finals...went toe to toe with Kobe, Shaq, Bibby, Kidd...crossed Jordan...Wade was great as well...but this year was his first year making it out of the first round without Shaq or Lebron.

Durability is also a factor...Wade has a history of injuries...Iverson was known as a little ironman. If you watch some highlights...there were plays were bigger men were practically tossing Iverson to the ground...every time he drove to the hoop he had to expect to be punished for it...toughness has to play a factor in this too.

Nothing but respect for both players though...Wade is no bum, and I actually believe he slips under the radar as underrated...I just give Iverson a slight edge.

Word.

In before multiple posts about how AI "inspired a generation" and made these niggas want to eat a York peppermint patty...

All jokes and nostalgia aside, Wade is clearly the superior all around player.
