Dominique Wilkins, SF

Old Man River C CP1708 you're up.

Ironic that you would pick the Chris Paul of SF's.

Never made it past the second round.

Old Man River @CP1708 you're up.

It was either him or Clyde for me.

I had a big YouTube sesh watching highlights trying to decide.

So close. Both great.

Nice pick.

That's funny.  It was Allen Iverson or Clyde for me.  Feeling like I made a mistake.

Difference is, I don't call Nique the second best SF of all-time.

Because he isn't.


And it's not because he didn't pass the second round either.

Nah if you are going by singular years, 01 AI is top 10 all-time 

No chance Drexler could have ever taken that team far in the playoffs.

And something about pairing Charles Barkley with Allen Iverson was just so damn intriguing to me. 

 

[franchise3]

Gonna step out. PMed you my picks CP

 

[CP1708]

Nicely done f3.

Out of all the crazy comments in here, this one probably takes the cake.

you gotta add the "pound for pound" to any AI comment

 

[Chester McFloppy]

If only AI was 6'4"

 

[licensed to ball]

If only AI was 6'4"

If he was he wouldn't be seen as great as he's seen now.

Srs.

 

[the gr8est]

I couldn't think of 10 NBA players who in their best season I would take over 01 AI. 10 better careers? Definitely. But Idk if 10 different players had a season in which I would take them over Iverson in 01. Idk maybe 10 is a reach, but definitely no more than 20. Dude was on another level that season.

However, I will acknowledge that as amazing as it was watching him carry that Sixers team to the Finals, and I think very few others would have been able to do that, it also helped his game playing on a team in which he was allowed to take all of the shots. 

 

[JD617]

He wasn't even the best that season, Shaq was.

Jordan, LeBron, Shaq, Duncan, KG, Dirk, Durant, Malone, Kobe, Barkley, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Hakeem, Wade, Robinson etc etc etc all had multiple seasons better than '01 AI. There've been at least 75 better individual seasons than '01 Iverson.

 

[al3xis]

I don't like how the metrics have devalued what Iverson was. At his peak (01) the league was still heavy isolation and low possession. His shooting numbers were just not going to be good and he had his limitations at his size. But his impact was unquestionable and I think had he come around in this era he could have been even better in more free flowing offense as a lead guard. Nobody ever likes to find a happy medium with Iverson.

 

[big j 33]

I gotta do it.

Russell Westbrook.

 

[MVP]

I gotta do it.
