Where does Allen Iverson rank among the best in the game?

gauchojake · 12-09-15, 05:29 PM

Top 50 maybe. Guy's rant on practice is top 3 though.

pimike · 12-09-15, 05:51 PM

Top 100

He had that one great season for the Nuggets in 07 when many thought he was past his prime & he just killed it.

He was made for the 90s; a get-my-own scorer. An inefficient player that didn't like to pass up shots. He wouldn't like the modern nba.

He was good for the nba/ selling tickets. But as far as winning goes, J.Kidd was better -didn't take him long to knock Iverson's sixers off their pedestal for good -within a year

Kobe is only slightly more efficient than Iverson, and Kobe is considered be the best of modern nba by some.

Key word there being 'is' lol. I remember Kobe in his prime (that is, around the year 2K) was pretty efficient as far as playoff scoring goes.

Congrats on the "dumbfuk post of the month award"
It's only the 2nd week of December, but even cockweed can't post anything more off than this, so we re going to give it to you early.

My guess is you've never watched an NBA game in your life.

Wow, that guy was exciting watch. The NBA from 2000-2009 was probably it's best years.

This.

Great player who could have been way better if he wasn't a party guy. Would regularly come to a game after sitting in TGIFridays on City Ave all afternoon drinking rum and cokes with his boyz. Practice? We talkin bout practice?

Looked like a travel to me

How long does he want to hold the ball up in the air on his dribble? Damn.

AI Easily made Top 50 players of all time in my book

Videos have to be slowed down when showing Iverson, or else they are just too blurry

No, TMS.

I would have been buried in my basketball career if it wasn't for that move.

Though I probably abused the two steps and gather rule more than anyone I played with or against.

Travelling is life man.

Though a couple of them are in the NBA and im sitting on my fukkin couch...

Fuk my life.

Gonna jump tonight.

Remember watching some of these live. At 1:10 classic AI, guy had pogo sticks for legs and ran like a deer.

At 1:10 mark remember him dunking against UMASS with Camby under the basket, remember my brother calling me live stationed overseas asking if I saw it, umm of course I did.

For some reason he liked spazzing when Camby was under the basket.

Legendary Arkansas basketball coach Nolan Richardson after Iverson's debut against Arkansas. "I've been to three calf shows, nine horse ropings, I even saw Elvis once, but I've never seen a guard do what Iverson can do with a basketball. I saw him go through traps of our nobody's ever gone through."
