Without a doubt. MJ was from the weakest era in all of basketball. His toughest defender was a ****ing point guard. Iverson was the perimeter Wilt of his era, except his competition was as good as it gets. MJ wouldn't sniff 10 minutes a game in AI's era.

[PieceOfFelt]

It's obvious hyperbole that shouldn't be taken seriously.

Jordan not realizing his era is over.

Jordan not realizing his era is over.

He could still do that to probably 90% of the current NBA.

[Bigsmoke]

For short people I guess.


People that blow all their money knowing they have like 6 kids seem like a shitty role model

Jordan not realizing his era is over.

[Rameek]

I think he brought another element of how kids were playing and wearing in the street to the masses in the NBA.

I dont think he is on the same level as MJ or Kobe as far as BASKETBALL.

they should change the logo to iverson

[Fazotronic]

mj not being more popular or not having more influence than ai is
maybe for some wannabe thugs but MJ is MJ

cris paul doesn't even know what to say. he is just a fan of AI and just talks out of his ass.

[Im so nba'd out]

As a black man i would agree he had a bigger influence to black people nationally.Outside of that jordan was more influential everyone else.

[Jailblazers7]

He didn't have a bigger impact than MJ but he clearly had an enormous cultural impact on the game of basketball. Probably bigger than anyone post MJ.

[ImKobe]

AI is the most overrated player in NBA history, a Brandon Jennings-esque chucker with flashy handles & superior athleticism. He was good for highlights & he drew a lot of hype from the casual fans that rarely actually watched him play a full game.

Man had the skills to be one of the greatest PGs ever, instead he wasted them on chucking the ball 23-28 times a game. He could have easily averaged 20 ppg 10 apg on much higher efficiency if he paid attention to how his game affected the play of his teammates.

He had Kobe's attitude, but he was never as good as Kobe at shooting the ball & he was a midget, who refused to practice with his team.

In his MVP season, he shot 29,7% on jump shots while taking 1755 of them, how the hell do you justify that number?
