Iverson Is the Most Overrated Player in NBA History

[SilkkTheShocker]

All he did was put up inefficient scoring numbers on dogshit teams. Dude has been living off that 2001 run forever now. And save the "warrior" excuse he always gets. He didn't make anyone better and retired with that same selfish attitude be has always had.

His 2001 playoff run is very overrated. Mutombo and McKie both put up some big games. People act like that 76ers team was losing everytime Iverson had a bad game, which wasn't the truth at all. Im not saying they were better without him, but he sure as hell didn't carry that team.

One of the best 4th quarter players of all time and he was relentless at getting to line. It didn't matter if he shot poorly he was getting to the line like 12 times a game if I remember correctly. Don't underestimate how well he could run the team either it be on the fastbreak, or the half court. He was a great flashy passer and 6 assist over his career isn't bad for a shooting guard. He was a great defender too. Also a very tough player. Then there was his quickness + his crossover man he was insanely fast back then. I guess it's just me, he revolutionized the game for me so I guess I'm a little biased

Yea, he really carried the team Look at some of the numbers Mutombo and McKie put up and tell me that was a one man team.

Iverson made losing cool as long as you look good doing it. And again the "tough player" excuse is weak. No one is questioning his heart. Just his practice habits, innefficiency, and lack of team success.

[Riley Martin]

Do people here put him in the top 15 all-time or something?

I never really see people overrating him that much... most people call him out on his faults and recognize his strengths as a sorer

[Hank]

shotjacker with crappy FG% just like Kobe the stringbean .. But Iverson was a much better and more diverse driver

[noosaman]

Race and personality were the huge factors in his enduring legend.
