And lead his team to the ECF in the worst eastern conference ever. Like, there are more than counting numbers. He was a cultural phenomenon, but people get it twisted with how good he actually was.
It's hilarious.

Don't know if anybody's seen this. But it captures how I kinda feel. Iverson brings out the weirdest crowd to debate. Not that you guys went overboard, I was more referring to the way people hold him in some holy light on twitter, etc

Nah, but Iverson was the real deal. Superior athlete. Dude was in tip top condition. Took 30 shots a night with the defense aimed at stopping him every night. He took a beating every game and rarely took a game off cause of any injuries. And he used to be hammered. And a chucker or not he still got close to 7 assist a game during his whole career.
I was a Stephon Marbury fan and had wars about Steph vs Ivo. I always argued that Steph could score just as well, even though I think A.I. got the advantage there, but he was a way better play maker and defender, although Iverson always lead the L in steal. I still felt Steph had a stronger defensive game and was stronger and slightly a bit more explosive then A.I. My ground was always that Steph was the better team player. But I always knew that Iverson was the better Basketball player overall.
At the end of the day, Iversons legacy is cemented.

Marbury was always the more physical guard.
AI over Steph though

Oh, easily. Dudes make it sound like AI is an all time guard, though. Which is hilarious.

If we trade for Teague they gotta find a way to include the Hawks piano player in the deal.

I feel like I took a time machine to '96 entering this thread 
It feels like yesterday when I had debates with friends about iverson vs Marbury lol
Which reminds me of a new poll question......can golden state warriors match the Bulls record?

Marbury 
What a sad situation/career. Glad he's pretty much an idol in China though

You buggin if you don't think he's an all-time guard. Don't even wanna debate that at the moment. But you're entitled to your opinion.

He single handedly led the Sixers to the finals, but let me guess Melo is an all time great to you?!?

Both are all time greats but no doubt AI levels above Melo to me OVERALL
Kobe was in the way of both of them winning rings
BUT LOL @ NOT THINKING AI IS AN ALL TIME GUARD

The people that downplay AI must not have seen him play. Granted like previously stated the east was weak when he took them to the finals but he had probably the worst team ever to make a finals and willed them there by himself practically. Dude was the focus of every defense and he still toyed with the whole opposing team, dude couldn't stop Shaq and Kobe but who could've at that time especially by himself. Laughable that people debate this.....

It's a shame he let his career end like that—no one to blame but himself. But he was a great player and a magnetic personality. Incredibly tenacious.
