how can anyone not say this guy is overrated????? Im sick of all the BS arguments about his heart and how hard he plays. AI is overrated and that is all there is to it. His career FG% is 41%... that is just TERRIBLE! If this guy wasnt such a Thug wanna be, he would have no popularity at all. He is about to get ran out of his own town....... Anybody who says otherwise really doesnt know anything about basketball. This guy has skated along only on his rep and his rep is about dead. You know who else plays hard everytime that hes out there???? Bo Outlaw... U dont see Bo Outlaw getting all the props AI does!!! This guy has about 2 years left and i say his body breaks down and hes out of the league for good. We all know he wont come off the bench so whats he gonna do? anyway....

AI=Most overrated player in NBA history.

So - if we disagree with your "OPINION", we then automatically know nothing about basketball? Hmmmmm, sad debate technique.

BTW, I love Iverson's game. IMHO, he is the greatest little guy ever in the NBA. BTW, I went to my first PRO basketball game when I was 7 years old.... am about to turn 50 - you do the math.

Thank you and wow ! 43 years of documenting some of the greatest players to ever play the game ! Glad that we have such experience at the forefront of the forums !

iverson couldnt hold isiah thomas' jock. If u want to start the little man argument...

mo76 · 04-03-2004, 03:41 PM

Thomas was a great player. Iverson is a great player. Iverson has 3 scoring titles and 2 MVP's. I think he could "hold anyone's jock"

I'm gonna explode.

People who say anyone can take that many shots would score that many points are full of it.

With that same logic, "Steve Kerr should have shot more than Jordan during the championship years because he shot a better percentage" Or "America should print more money, then we'd be rich!"

put Iverson with any player that can get him the ball and Iverson will torch any team. He does rely on his quickness to get his shots off though but he'll wear down any defender that's not as quick as him. Iverson's knack for moving without the ball and the volume of shots he takes, 28 a game, add to the difficulty in guarding him.

Most teams zone him up than double team him, but when he penetrates he usually scores. When he doesn't, he usually gets clobbered in the lane but he gets the foul calls.

Only way to defend him is to force him to get the ball from the outside the 3 point line or make him go left. I can understand people call him a punk or a cancer but not overrated.

therealdeal

How can you question Iverson's heart? He's anything but heartless. The only reason I can think of as to why you said this is to get a rise out of people

ripped110 · 04-03-2004, 04:28 PM

AI is not even in the same conversation as Isiah thomas. Isiah has 2 championships when the Eastern Conference was actually legit. That ends any argument right there.

Well, this proves you just wanted a shouting match with the closing word and not a enlightning discussion

Word.

ripped110 · 04-03-2004, 05:06 PM

no im not comparing them. because there is no comparison. just like there is no comparion between Isiah and AI. Isiah is the better player. If he shot as much as AI does he would have averaged over 30 ppg.

And Robert Horry has more rings than both of them combined. So therefore he is twice the player of Iverson and Thomas. And he is better than Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Kevin Garnett, Shaq O'Neal, and Karl Malone...COMBINED!!!!

Steve Kerr is also pretty good.

ps. End of discussion.
