Was having debate earlier today at work. I say iverson. What y'all think?
Iverson had heart, energy, and will to win
I have to admit Westbrooks has all that too, plus rebounds more and blocks more
Steals are about equal
Iverson led league in scoring many years
But Westbrooks just had four straight triple doubles
Westbrooks is also the first small guard I've seen that I think could have also taken that ? 76ers squad to the finals
However the rules are geared more towards guards today and I feel in today's nba iverson would avg fifty a game
I still take iverson but it's closer than I thought before

Iverson was best pound for pound player of all time in his prime

What Westbrook do so far in his career
This is why I don't respect the Iverson arguments. People will say whatever they can about him to glorify him.
CP3 the same height as Iverson and he's better than him. Goodbye argument.
CP3 the best pound for pound player ever of all time ever ever of all time pound for pound. -
Isiah Thomas and John Stockton both 6'1...best pound for pound players ever in their prime ever of all time ever.

Westbrook easy.

The incredible Westbrook

My ? ...
You do know it's "Westbrook", not plural, right?
Thought the title was a simple typo but... -
And for the thread, ask when the careers are over. Most people would say Westbrook simply because he's going off right now.
Most ? live in the moment. Anything could happen between now and the end of RW career. What we think of him now could be totally different in as little as 3 years. -
iverson must be unpopular on this board
some of these posts are slick disrespectful
put westbrook on a team by himself for a whole season he not doin what iverson did.
hell he can barely do it now with kd missing games, and his supporting cast is better -

Brave as ? for making claims like this after he has his 4th triple double in a row lmfao -
barely beat a team that should have never been in the game lol, not only that they let philly take em to ot. plus they lost the previous 2 with his erratic play. ? like to let the triple doubles cover up 14-37 for some reason
-
yea im a damn hater.

Chuck up a bunch of shots like AI
But play better Defense, rebound and pass. -

The only reason they in that spot cuz KD and Russ missed a lot of games at the same time. -

I'm assuming Westbrook loses points because he is 3 inches taller than Iverson. He's good but is he POUND FOR POUND good!? I think not. -

i knew this would happen
but did a.i. chuck up them same bad shots while playin with someone better than him, no.
was a.i.'s supporting cast worse, yes.
yet he still won more
really its too early in westbrook career for this comparison anyway. -
and my bad if i read wrong or missed the sarcasm but cp3 not better than iverson either, he better than westbrook tho

To prove what point?
Very similar across the board except two numbers, rebounds and points. Iverson averaged 6 more points a game. RW averaging almost 2 more reb but he's taller and more athletic than iverson, so that's to be expected.
