AIs not even a top 10 player from his own generation.
In the past 13 years alone we've seen atleast 10 better players than AI:

Kobe
Lebron
Shaq
Duncan
Garnett
DIRK
Nash
Wade
J Kidd
Durant
Tmac
Yao Ming
etc..

Only reason AI is known is because he benefits from having a "thug" image in a time where the thug image was hot in literally every part of the media(from movies to music to video games)

If AI was a RG3 ass nikka no one would remember him

You stupid lil nikka. Victor Page was 5x the "thug" that Iverson was. How come he wasn't the #1 draft pick? Feel free to run to google

Where do you think he ranked? If you have him in the top 5 for any given year you are overrating him.

How do you win an MVP and not be top 5 that year? :mindblown:
Or does GreatestLaker know more about basketball than the entire professional basketball association? :leon:

You can say I'm misinterpreting the stars, that's fine...

But the reality is he shot 38% in his prime 2x...I understood he took a lot of shots, but others players have shot just as much with way better FG%


Why is this justified when y'all clown Kobe and Westbrook for low FG% games?

Did he ever take those guys to the finals?:smugcheeseeyes:

Unfortunately that Has nothing to do with the thread....you used the garbage teammate excuse to justify his shytty shooting %, I point out Kobe had worst teammates with better FG%...that deads your argument right there

Prolly because he was 5'10, won multiple scoring titles, led a team to the Finals(although this is overblown), and he doesn't really get a pass like that outside of his loyalists which is to be expected.

The whole thing is AI's shooting is never justified. NEVER. Anytime you mention AI people gonna bring up image and chucking.

So idk who you talkin to besides stand that allow his shooting to slide

The same reason Kobe doesn't have great percentages, because he was the main scoring option and had to shoot a lot to keep his team in the game. You guys are comparing Spudd Webb's shooting percentages to AI??:what: When the hell was Spudd the "go to" guy on his team, the guy who always got the ball and was depended on to score and get to the rim all the time??

The fact is if you shoot a lot then your percentages are going to suffer big time, even if you're a good shooter. I see a lot of people pointing at stats, but stats don't tell the whole story and they're no substitute for actually watching the man play and seeing all the amazing shyt he could do and the fact that he played with a lot of scrubs.
