    Prime? Allen Iverson no question. Career goes to Wade though.

    AI loses all these type arguments to me bc of the fg%. Period point blank it cannot be overlooked.

    There is a huge difference between 27 on 40% vs 27 on 45-50%

    I seen way too many 30 point games with 25 shots from Iverson. It's one thing when your shot just ain't fallin but you can't make the situation even worse by taking contested fadeaways.

    Iverson is the most overrated player among folks from the hood. Wade is the by far superior player all around with a better career.

    Wade is the better player but a lot of his success and accolades is because of LBJ.

    Wade has a lot of first round exits and a missed playoffs on his back. Injuries has a lot to do with it but it still happen.

    Pre Shaq and Pre LBJ wasn't great for him as a playoff player.

    I'm talking about playoff accolades. Not skill


    But he's the second greatest SG of all time

    Wade was better, but let's not act like Flash was just head and shoulders better than the Answer.

    Wade is very fortunate he was drafted by a franchise with good ownership and a great GM in Pat Riley who always consistently put good talent around him.

    Doubt he'd be a one time champ much less a 3X champ had he been drafted by some of the franchises with lesser front offices around the league.

    Yes, I know Iverson was a volume shooter and shot a very low percentage but you almost have to be when guys like Eric Snow and Aaron McKie are your second and third best players.

    Lol he played 1 season without Shaq and that was his rookie and he was the reason we even got to the 2nd round. You stay talking out of your ass.

    Iverson did not play with all-stars but that does not mean he was out there with recreational league players. He still had many chances to make his teammates better by passing the ball. Sometimes he did, a lot of times he did not. When a team sends a hard double at you the smart play is to pass to the open guy not try to shoot over the double. My favorite game by Iverson is not any of the 50 point games but game 7 vs Raptors when he had the 16 dimes bcuz Toronto was lockin him up. He still shot poorly but it finally clicked to him to trust his boys. He had the ability to get others involved, which automatically makes them better but he just didn't do it enough considering how much he dominated the ball. Iverson is a Sixers icon and i'm glad i got to see him play but imo he was more entertaining than a reason your team was gonna win. Casual fans want to see Iverson. Knowledgeable fans want to see Wade.

    would u agree that he was out there with far less offensive talent than wade was at any point in his career? he could have don more to get his teammates involved, but imo theres only so much u can do sometimes. thats why its not a surprise that one of his best years was with carmelo in denver
