Iverson or Nowitzki?

[Bernie Nips]

I know they don't have much in common, but they're both definitely scorers first and foremost, with that being their primary weapon, and ultimate first options.

Now that Dirk has won a ring and a Finals MVP, I have no doubt that most people would rank him above Iverson on the all time list, due to "career accomplishments" and the ring rule.

But taking rings and "career" out of it...

...who is the better player?

Nowitzki

I trust Dirk's ability to lead a team over AI. I choose Dirk.

I'll take Nowitzki because of his longevity and consistency. I also think he has had a greater impact on games.

People forget that Iverson led a team that probably wasn't Finals-worthy to the Finals in 01, only to be stopped by a prime Shaq and a breakout Kobe. He's also won 4 scoring titles.

Individually, I think I might give it to Iverson.

You just said not to factor in rings, accomplishments, career, etc. and now you factor that in for Iverson? Fail.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is Iverson.

Hey stalker buddy!

I was replying to someone who said I'll take Dirk's leadership. Well, Allen Iverson LED a team to the Finals. I brought up the scoring title thing simply because it shows he was the best scorer in the league 4 times. It's not a career thing, it's a comparison thing. Dirk has never been the best scorer in the league, Iverson has.

But play again some time, it was lovely to hear from you!

Career PPG averages:

Allen Iverson - 26.7ppg
Dirk Nowitzki - 22.9ppg

Apparently having a better TS% = better player. It doesn't matter if you score significantly less, it just matters that your TS% is better.

Dirk would score 30-35 points per game if he took as many shots as Iverson used to take

Efficiency>>>Volume scoring when the volume scoring is as close as that is (only 4 points per game difference)
