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

[psychobutcher]

Iverson= the Tupac of Basketball. Overrated by ignorant, directionless, fatherless niggas, when their contemporaries were clearly more skilled. Niggas can say A.I all they want, just admit you needed someone to look up to also.

Nigga, A.I. is the reason we got a bronze medal. That nigga dead to me.

He's the reason the USA basketball program was revamped. Think about how fucked up you have to be to make the USA TRY to win games. They removed bad influence A.I. and brought in Kobe, a true professional. That one summer, he made LBJ, Wade, and Melo better defenders... A.I. had them lil niggas skipping practice.

Duncan was on that team too now.

Don't just body AI lol

Like anyone would gravitate to Duncan. Nigga got the aura of a dead leaf.

Nobody is gravitating towards Kobe because he's not that type of player.

Rants like this expose you dunny

Other were clearly more skilled ?

You know how skilled you have to be to be undersized and positionless and dominate games

Just admit Iverson reminded you of the dad you never knew

Not one basketball explanation in this post, they were more skilled? Who was more skilled, why were they more skilled, what couldn't he do, expound on it ? Wade more skilled than Iverson? Talk about it, what skills?

Both of us are from the N.O., so no N.O. on N.O. violence... But Lebron, Melo, and Dwade had Kobe's poster of their wall. THAT alone matters, bruh.

I still don't get the Iverson was a father figure thing for the life of me, I never even rocked jerseys or headbands, and my braids were different lmao

AI loses all these type arguments to me bc of the fg%. Period point blank it cannot be overlooked.

There is a huge difference between 27 on 40% vs 27 on 45-50%

I seen way too many 30 point games with 25 shots from Iverson. It's one thing when your shot just ain't fallin but you can't make the situation even worse by taking contested fadeaways.

ur a 76ers fan

i hate to keep bringin this up but shit maybe u know better than me

u dont think who he had on the court with him was a factor? how?!

Iverson did not play with all-stars but that does not mean he was out there with recreational league players. He still had many chances to make his teammates better by passing the ball. Sometimes he did, a lot of times he did not. When a team sends a hard double at you the smart play is to pass to the open guy not try to shoot over the double. My favorite game by Iverson is not any of the 50 point games but game 7 vs Raptors when he had the 16 dimes bcuz Toronto was lockin him up. He still shot poorly but it finally clicked to him to trust his boys. He had the ability to get others involved, which automatically makes them better but he just didn't do it enough considering how much he dominated the ball. Iverson is a Sixers icon and i'm glad i got to see him play but imo he was more entertaining than a reason your team was gonna win. Casual fans want to see Iverson. Knowledgeable fans want to see Wade.

would u agree that he was out there with far less offensive talent than wade was at any point in his career? he could have don more to get his teammates involved, but imo theres only so much u can do sometimes. thats why its not a surprise that one of his best years was with carmelo in denver

Yes he had less talent to work with than Wade. But his style of play was not attracting any free agents to Philly imo. And of course his numbers are gonna go up playing with Melo. It was Melo's team and that team was deep also Iverson was motivated bcuz of the trade to Denver. Last time he was motivated after trade talk he helped get Philly to the finals. But you notice how Denver got even better when they traded Iverson for Billups? If we gonna praise Iverson for carrying that '01 squad to the finals, we need to throw some shade for losing in the first round (swept btw) with Melo, J.R. Smith, Nene, Kenyon Martin and Camby. Iverson is a entertainer he does not make your team better. I would bet my house that if Wade instead of A.I was on that Nuggets team that they would of not got got swept by L.A.

And he had Stackhouse one year too

I imagine niggas would be fans of their father figure team

Can't recall ever cheering for 6ers or meeting a fan

Maybe that's a internet joke I just don't understand

So many dumbasses have that thought process. Sometimes, there's a reason one path is less traveled. You trying to prove that you do not care about what people think is crazy. You probably have a bunch of snap backs and threw away all your fitteds cause of what other people's thoughts.

 

[MallyG]

Iverson was playing with Andre Roberson type niggas

Yeah he could have passed more but was it really a worse shot than him taking shit his self

It'd be one thing if he'd played with niggas who could score/knock down shots but at no point was that the case

Nigga gave the greatest team in nba history their one playoff loss, put some respek on his name

This...... x100

When Aaron Mckie is your second best option (no diss to Aaron tho b/c he came to play ever night), that shit is sad a phuck.

Defensively, he had a really good squad, but on offense he might well been in a landfill with all that stankin' ass trash around him. There was not one dude over there who could shoot, much less create their own shot.

Hell I remember vivdly Allen drivin' to the cup numerous times and dishin' to Dikembe and his hands of stones ass would drop, fumble or muff it half the time.

One thing I give huge credit to AI for is the fact that he never threw his teammates under the bus.
