Isiah is clearly better. Iverson barely made to finals in a weak eastern conference. Isiah won back to back during one of the most stacked eastern conferences of all time.

Na dude the answer is better

Iverson is better then Zeke

At what? Scoring? I am pretty sure that if you gave Zeke 30 shots he could have managed 30 pts a night on 40% shooting. When his team needed points he provided them. 25 in a qtr on a sprained ankle in the Finals shyts on anything Iverson ever did. Zeke straddled that line between scorer and setting other up perfectly. You put Zeke on the 08 Pistons and there is not way he struggles to fit in like AI did. They are still a top 3 team in the East battling it out with the Cavs and C's. Then again they probably wouldn't have been able to get him because he would've had this nikka Melo :eat:.

Zeke 15.2 shots a game / 5.4 Free throw attempts a game
AI 21.8 shots a game / 8.9 free throw attempts a game

The scoring aspect of AI was overrated to me because he did jack up shots, but you couldn't deny his toughness.

Of course but the same goes for Zeke too. The problem is that people just can't say "He was great. I really liked his game/enjoyed watching him play". Everybody has got to be the GOAT something. :snoop:

Iverson is a clearly better scorer and shooter

And He doesn't do any better n AI's shoes. They're similar players in that they both got WAAAAY too much credit for their teams defense being the number one reason they were successful. The difference was Zeke had much more talent to work with.

1) Zeke's FG percentage is higher than AIs. AI SHOT more. Zeke clearly had the ability to score more, but it wasn't needed for his team. When he had to, he showed that he could easily do it.

2) I agree on both teams defenses and Zeke had more talent.

If you wanna say AI was a better scorer, :ehh: . But Zeke was still the better player overall.

Clearly better how? Because he shot way more? :heh: Do you even read the post you responded to. I could see if AI was more efficient at scoring or at least comparably efficient while taking more shots but that wasn't the case. I am not gonna give a guy the nod as being a better scorer just because he took way more shots. The difference is that AI didn't do shyt when he had talent. He had Stackhouse early on in Philly and they couldn't co-exist. He had Melo and other parts in Denver and they did nothing. He gets traded to Detroit and Denver goes right to the WCF and conversely the perennial contender Pistons go right into the toilet with him. This can't be overstated. AI was not as effective when the offense didn't revolve around him. Zeke had not problem in this area and could step up and score if it was needed. You put Zeke on those Denver squads and they are better and you put him on that Pistons team and they are better.
