    There is no doubt Tracy is more talented. In fact, it ain't even close.

    As far as which player one likes more, let the debate begin. I like AI more but I'd rather have Tracy on my team.

    Allen Iverson has had a better career so far. But Tmac is a better talent, and an overall better basketball player right now. But I voted for AI 'cause he's had a better career. I like Tmac better.

    Iverson can't make his teammates better and struggles to mesh with other good players. He is of the Francis (young), Arenas, etc... mold. He must have the ball in his hands to create offense and thats it. His only success came when they surrounded him with role players like Mutombo, Snow, and Bell in Philly.

    well, talent-wise. both are extremely athletic, but iverson is in a 6' body while tmac is in a 6'8" body. But i'll take t-mac due to size and passing. and honestly, his days in orlando, he was scary offensively, an absolute terror. don't get me wrong, iverson was as well but t-mac was on a different level.

    but just imagine iverson's heart and desire in t-macs body. haha fun to think about.

    And Mcgrady's success came when he was surrounded with role players in Orlando? Nope. When he was/is surrounded by another superstar and good role players in Houston? Nope... at least not yet. I love Mcgrady as much as the next guy but he's got nothing in comparison to Iverson's accomplishments.

    It's not a qusetion of who is better at all . It's a qusetion of who is worse. ;)

    they both deserve ring ,but unfortunately having found no fellow who can help achive the goal. luckily t had joined rockets where another star can bring him fame and fortune and everything that goes with it,he should thank Yao and all the clutchfans all . But right now , there is no bed for t to rose in, there is no pleasure cruise for t but tough tasks like winnig the ship.t consider it a challenge before the whole rockets team but we are not gonna lose.
    We are the champions ,my friends , we 'll keep on fighting till winning the ship , we are the chanmpiions ,no time for Luther so that trade him any way , to the kings along with scola and bjax for artest.Then we are going to be the champions of the world

    AI took his team to the finals, Tmac has never been past the 1st round.

    Tracy is more talented I think, and I like him better only because hes a rocket but say what you want about iverson, but he got to the finals in his prime as the only legit scoring option on his team. While he was with the sixers he only had the chance to play with one other all-star (mutombo) the entire time. AI has had easily the better career, and because of tmac current injury problems, there is no way you can take him over AI assuming AI plays 15+ more games a year. Though that does not mean i would trade tmac for AI with the team we have now, i'm just saying if a new team were to be started AI would be a better choice.

    AI has had a better career, but Tracy is my dog. I think both are great and extremely talented, but they do play different positions so it is hard to make a direct comparison. AI had some sick crossovers in his time.

    Iverson has more heart and similar talent.

    AI FTW.

    Tracy is better, but I like AI because of his toughness and desire not to lose. As I have said many times before that if TMac had AI's toughness and Kobe's killer instinct he would be the best player in the league. He definently has the skills to be the best.

    I am surprised that a.i. has more than 30% of votes. Ridiculous.

    On the other note, KOBE has no killer instinct. He's just a selfish b*stard who wants to win all the glory.
