Lebron's Cavs vs. Iverson's Sixers

[SpecialQue]

1) Who did more with less?
2) Let's say they meet in the Conference Finals. Who wins?

[moe94]

Iverson had a great defensive squad and a great coach. LeBron had marginal spot up shooters and a decaying Z?

[Solefade]

Iverson had the better version of Eric Snow and Larry Hughes

[SilkkTheShocker]

1. LeBron easily
2. Cavs would win because LeBron is a lot better than Iverson ever was.

[LeBron 06]

1) Who did more with less?

LeBron


The cavs had 4 seasons with at least 50 wins and two seasons with at least 60 wins...The 76ers have only had one season with at least 50 wins

[Element]

LeBron didn't have a great cast? Offensively, they weren't built for playoff basketball but the Cavs got all those regular season wins because of their near top-ranked rebounding and defense. And LeBron definitely wasn't anchoring those parts of their game. In fact, they were a top defensive team in the league before bron himself even became a good defensive player (2007).

Iverson did more with less for sure. DPOY Mutombo adds name value, yeah, but they were on pace for the same amount of wins before the trade and their defense didn't really improve after it, either. Offensively, they were probably even better off with Ratliff. Sixers offense was designed to get this guy as many shots as possible and everyone else just fed off that.

LeBron's Cavs will win though. Mo Williams, Delonte West>>McKie and Mutombo

[Indian guy]

This is not much of a comparison. LeBron probably did more with less in '09 and '10 than anyone in NBA history.

That is laughable for someone with an account on a basketball site.

Fixed, Mo Williams wasnt on the cavs team in 07

Regular Season or the Playoffs? Cause Jordan's '88, '89, '90 were superior. Quite obviously, especially considering LeBron's mid series quit job in 2010 as favorites.

Offensively? Mo Williams>>>>anyone on AI's team by a mile

Defense wasn't the 01 Sixers problem. It was the fact that no one other than AI even managed to break 15 ppg.

[aj1987]

1) Who did more with less?
2) Let's say they meet in the Conference Finals. Who wins?

1. Lebron
2. Who's stopping Lebron? Literally no one on that team is even close to stopping Lebron.

Lebron also had the 3rd and 7th best defenses in the league behind him.. and one of the best rebounding teams in the league both years.

AI didnt have to go through a team like Boston though..

I see. I was talking overall.

[SilkkTheShocker]

LeBron took a team to the Finals with Sasha Pavlovic starting.
