AI is the most overrated player/scorer in NBA history

[GreatestLaker]

If A.I. had at least another nikka... you wouldn't be right now.

I mean.... them 3 titles in the 2000s were because of and a lil bit of help from David Stern (2002 WFC) and Robert Horry.

2009, a weak Magic team.
2010, Kobe caught a break and was lucky to catch the Celtics sleeping. Mind you that the series went to 7.

Kobe aka 100 shots attempts per game

You gonna pretend AI in denver never happened?

Melo, Martin, JR, Nene, Camby.

How much more help do you need?

Put Kobe on that Denver team they make it to the WCF at LEAST.

Iverson teams lost half of the games he played in during his career. For all his will, that is not very good.

Let's keep it as objective as possible and judge him by his production and not speculate on intangibles.

Sixers were a shytty franchise berfore iverson was drafted and he changed the whole culture of the team.

didn't AI take out Vince and Ray Allen when both was in their prime and was the leader of their own team?

Iverson played with no other threat on his team to take away any focus off of him. PPL forget that his jumpshot was wet and the shots that he missed was floaters over 7 footers which allowed easier offensive rebounds. You throw out stats like they tell the story. Their is no stat for leader or will power. And I seen AI will his team to victory plenty of times. Vince and T-mac are both mental midgets. Hell the Rockets didnt make it out of the first round until T-Mac was hurt.

^For real.

AI was literally a 6'0 PG that played SG, and lead the league in scoring multiple times and carried a garbage team on his back to the finals....and Vince Carter is going to be mentioned in the same sentence as him?? T-Mac? Really?? LOL. How many all nba teams has carter been on?? Carter is probably the mmost overrated "scorer" in history. And how many times has mcgrady played and been past the first round of the playoffs???

I seriously think these OP probably wasnt watching ball in the late 90s/early 2000s. AI was that dude in the league.

More of an indictment on Melo than Iverson

AI was fun to watch no doubt. But his style of play was never going to lead you to a lot of wins.

A few months after they traded AI they went to the WCF with the same roster.

Melo played better then iverson in both the 07' and 08' playoffs. AI was trash

Didn't Kobe lose with Shaq Payton Malone

Didn't Kobe lose with Shaq Payton Malone

you're comparing losing in the Finals to winning one playoff game in two years, really?

Didn't Kobe lose with Shaq Payton Malone

In the FINALS. With Malone out with a career ending knee injury and Payton turning into a scrub.

AI lost in the first ROUND twice.

You're really trying to compare the two? How stupid are you?
