| Chris Hu said: You aren't old enough to have seen A.I. at his prime. Plus that 76ers team he took to the finals had even less talent then any of the two Cavs teams LeBron got to the finals. Curry is better at shooting three pointers. A.I. was a better overall scorer despite only being six feet tall he wasn't afraid to take it to the basket and score in the paint at his prime he got to the free throw line over ten times per game. Also Curry is pretty overrated as a scorer this year will be his first season where he will have scored over two thousand points in a season and its already his 7th year in the league there are dozens of players that got their first season where they scored over 2000 points a lot sooner. |
Iverson was one of the best ever at attacking the paint and he was a great scorer. However, I think being one-dimensional hurts him in comparison to some of the other greatest players. He wasn't much of a passer and his defense was based totally on the Barkley method of going for the steal. Teams that could slow down the game and play tough half-court defense could make life difficult for him, especially when his outside shot wasn't falling. On the other hand, if he'd had another scorer to play with, maybe he wouldn't have gotten so beaten up going to the rim. He got knocked to the ground like every other play. I remember teams clamping down on Iverson and just giving Eric Snow the open shot, which obviously wasn't a great option for Philly. Of course, now that I think about it, his assist total would have probably been higher if anyone else on the team could make a shot.
