What Was One Significant Thing Iverson Did Significantly Better Than D Wade, Basketball-wise?

[The Devil's Advocate]

what the hell are you talking about?

Someone was like "why fools glorify iverson"

Career highlights and awards

• NBA Most Valuable Player (2001)
• 11× NBA All-Star (2000–2010)
• 2× NBA All-Star Game MVP (2001, 2005)
• 3× All-NBA First Team (1999, 2001, 2005)
• 3× All-NBA Second Team (2000, 2002–2003)
• All-NBA Third Team (2006)
• NBA Rookie of the Year (1997)
• NBA All-Rookie First Team (1997)
• NBA Rookie Challenge MVP (1997)
• 4× NBA scoring champion (1999, 2001–2002, 2005)
• 3× NBA steals leader (2001–2003)
• No. 3 retired by Philadelphia 76ers
• Consensus first-team All-American (1996)

That's why. There's no need to glorify. He was a damn superstar in the nba and should be spoken about like one

besides durability those other things are not really significant

Are you saying they aren't significant gaps between them

Or you trying to say those aren't significant skills to have in the game of basketball




Let's all flip the script then. What SIGNIFICANT skills does wade have AI? Not slightly. Significant. Besides blocks lol. Which AI fans will see your blocks and raise you steals

 

[BigE214]

Well they are very close in assists per game. Wade is at 6.4 and Iverson is at 6.2. Considering who Iverson played with and his role as the primary scorer on his team for most of his career, I'd say AI is more impressive on that particular aspect.

That's really like 15 assist on a regular team for AI

the guy said that AI is disrespected on coli
I was just saying to him that AI is praised on most internet forums (which is mostly deserved) and it's actually wade that is kind of shytted on

that's all b

ball handling is that significant really and outside shooting is one aspect of overall offense which both players were really good at

Wade was significantly:

more efficient
a better playmaker
a better on ball defender
rebounder
shot blocker

when it comes to stealing the ball AI has an edge but not a significant one

1.8 vs 2.2 over a career

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

As if experts have the rule on what's true and what isn't in sports. I followed both their careers, and I do know better than any dude trying to claim that AI was a better defender. Oh so you were a Sixers fan? Tell me more.....


It isn't a matter of having a difference of opinion like on some what's the best color type shyt. This isn't a subjective matter.


Gervin - 1047*
Jordan - 893
Carter - 745
Drexler - 719
Wade - 701

He's top 5 right now, and by the time his career finishes he'll be top 3.

nikka what are you talking about

Experts by name alone are fukking experts at this shyt. How in the hell you want me to take your words, over dudes who played the game, some against both these players, and been studying film for 20-30-40 years as a full time job. But you MIGHT have the nba league package so I'm supposed to bow down to your words??

Yes it is an opinion. Like Jordan is the goat. When nikkas could easily argue for Kareem. Since what you consider greatness in a player, might be different than what I consider, which might be different than what Kobe considers, which might be different than what jerry west considers. Means it's fukking subjective

I'm done discussing things with that type of logic in both your points

 

[Stainless Bobby]

I'm not sure what you're so confused by. For a large stretch of his career AI was passing to guys like Corliss Williamson and Kenny Thomas. Wade clearly played with better teammates.

 

[Danie84]

...he didn't need HGH to be great

 

[Stainless Bobby]

AI played the point almost his entire career he should of had a much higher assist average

I know other people have answered you but you quoted me. AI mostly played the 2 position. I'd say his assists from that position, and the players he was passing to, make him pretty impressive in that regard.

look at wade's roster in the 09 season breh

I'm not saying Wade always played with great teammates, but surely we can agree that he had much more talented teammates than AI did overall.

 

[Goat poster]

Be durable

Thread should of ended after this correct answer.

 

[I Got Werk]

ball handling is that significant really and outside shooting is one aspect of overall offense which both players were really good at

You disregard ballhandling but bring up playmaking

Really

breh?

 

[ManBearPig]

And plus Wade is from Chicago

Wade>>>>>
