Re: Chris Paul vs. Allen Iverson....battle of little big men
Chris Paul is better right now than Iverson was at any point in his career. Iverson was great at one thing, Paul is great in several. In particular passing; Paul simply blows Iverson out of the water. Consider this: Iverson's career usage rating (an estimate of the number of possessions a player uses) is 31. Which for those not familiar with this stat, is very high. Despite having the ball almost all the time, Iverson only averages 6 assists per 40 minutes his career. Paul's career usage rating is 23. His career assists/40 is 9. If you adjust for ball usage, and Paul is almost doubling Iverson in assists.
This would be like comparing Reggie Evans and Mark Blount in rebounding. That's how much better of a passer Paul is than Iverson.
