the nba finals with no a or b list star on the team besides himself... then carried them to beat the record breaking, kobe, shaq, phil lakers.. who hadn't lost a single game the entire playoffs.. and forced them into a game 1 loss

i mean shyt... what you want the nikka to do.. play all 5 positions himself.. who else was doing anything on that team offensively

Dikembe Mutombo was that team's defensive anchor. George Lynch was 6th Man of the Year.

But I agree that AI played with less talent then Dwyane Wade.

nikkas say AI had better handles, which is somewhat the truth, but Wade had a much more effective handle. nikkas be judging handles by size up moves and shyt, AI played with the ball too much. With Wade its a 1-2 dribble move before he is gone past you. Wade was never the type to size up much, nikkas like AI, Crawford, ect uses size up moves to get the defender off balance. Wades crossovers took up so much space he aint need to size up, Rose is similar to Wade in that aspect.

And that's fine if you think he's an unique player, but you can't then use that reasoning (this doesn't really apply to you) to suggest he's better than a player all because he was short in stature and had impalpable qualities that other players supposedly didn't have. Ya don't think that Wade was at a height disadvantage when he was blocking dudes up to six inches taller than him? Ya don't think Wade was at a height disadvantage going against bigger and taller guards throughout his entire career?

:manny:

I didn't say he was better than Wade nor did I imply that

wade can be sloppy as fukk with the ball though. it's gotten worse over the past few years. he's had a ton of unforced turnovers off the dribble...and a lot of them weren't even off of fancy cross-overs or splitting the defense or stuff like that. i've seen dude nearly lose the ball out of bounds just walking the ball up the court with nobody around him...more than once.

The :aicmon: haters in here must have had all their girls crush on dude at the time or something, I just can't see how you can hate a player who put it all out there night after night.
We got Jordan, Kobe, Kareem, all on the list of MOST MISSED field goals...
Let A.I's dopeness just be that, not every legend has a ring and played the way y'all wanted em to :childplease:

The 01 sixers were ranked top 5 in both defense and rebounding....

.... And that's all iverson right?

What happened in Denver?

And he scored 1/3 of the points for a team that was middle-of-the-pack offensively. You can play all the defense you want but if you can't score, what does it matter?
