the reason why AI was so revered i think, its not only was he one of the all time greats, but he was a representation of the people. the real people. we aint 7ft tall lol, and a lot of people especially poorer people are mixed in with the streets. and AI was a representative of that culture. AI showed kids growing up watching him, that you dont got to be a skyscraper to be a revolutionary player. he played with style, and had much respect by street ballers. dont forget, and 1 was poppin around this time too. everyone at the park was trying to do those and 1 crossovers lol. i always looked at iverson at the and 1 representative in the nba, even though i couple of them did play. skip to my lou for example.

Allen Iverson is still my favorite NBA player of all time. his only mistake was wasting his career on a garbage can team like the 76ers who was never gong to go anywhere and never gave him the support he needed. if he had been on a good team and didnt have to carry 15 guys on his back, he would have several championships .

that shit is just like politics though. Iverson wasnt kissing no ones ass he wasnt begging no one for nothing. He did his own thing and I respect him More for that, than if he woulda got rings.

@@barakas3861 Even more attention was paid to players like Jordan, Bryant and James and they still maintained efficiency well above league average. AI is literally one of the most innefficient players in NBA history lol. He's a scoring champion because he averahed near 30 FG attempts per game, not because he was particularly good at getting the ball to go in the basket when he attempted. Jack up enough shots and one of them is bound to go in - even a blind squirl finds a nut. Beyond that, he was useless on defense, didnt rebound, and an average passer. He was a slightly above average offensive player asked to take a ynch of shots, thats it. He's not an all time great, maybe in the bottom half of the top 100 or something. He's easily the most overated playrr in NBA history.

Nah AI would of been worse with Melo. HIs perfect teamamte would be Scottie Pippen, who would be able to shore up AI's weakness on D and also Pippen is one of the few greats who would still play well with a scorer like AI. Most greats would fall off, due to having to share the ball.
