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

[king hassan]

If A.I. were Wade's size (6'5", 220), he probably would've been the GOAT guard next to Mike. Him being under 6' and 160 pounds putting in work like he did makes him that much more legendary.

It was a lot of players his size doing the same thing

Huh? Name 5 players A.I.'s size that put up the numbers and performances he did.

lol You basically just put up five relatively short guys. None of them played the game remotely like A.I. KJ for example was a pure PG.

Nosign. Those guys were short guards, but they weren't shitting on people and scoring 50 points in the finals.

I'm a huge Iverson fan being that I'm originally from Virginia and he was a fun guy to watch play growing up But Wade is the better player in his prime for the simple fact that he is way more versatile over all.

The funniest thing to all of this is the fact that their numbers are very similar if you look at advance metrics besides the fact that Wade has a better shooting %.

I will also say that when Iverson played with Carmelo he had some of his most efficient shooting seasons in his career so maybe if he would've had a solid number 1 or 2 scoring option playing with him he would've been more efficient scoring. But Wade was pretty damn efficient even when he was by his lonesome which is pretty impressive

Numbers are very similar but iverson also....

-averaged more points per game

-more steals per game

-more assist per game

-better 3pt %

If you look at the Per 36 of Wade and Iverson their numbers are very similar

Raw stats per game is very misleading and is heavily influenced by how many minutes a player plays and how much their usage is.

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

AI averaged more points because he took more shots that's obvious.

He had to. Wade had WAY better teammates than Iverson.

Its not like the fg % is so much worse than wade. 42% to 48%

And he still averaged more assists.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

6% is a lot when it comes to fg percentage, to be fair

but as u said that some try to discount, ai had no help teammate wise a lot of them years

 

[Logic Last]

Wade is more clutch and takes better care of his body

 

[TheGOAT]

Wade is more clutch and takes better care of his body

Iverson playoff stats >>>> wades

 

[TheGOAT]

The only thing Iverson didnt do right was how he let his ego fuck up the end of his career.

 

[Beta]

Wade is more clutch and takes better care of his body

Iverson playoff stats >>>> wades

What that get him?
