    You left me a thesis in my mailbox…again. It’s baffling to me how someone can whine this much over a basketball forum. All I read was “I made my margrave alt because people were attacking me” LOL. You act like this on the board and then cry DMing me over and over

    My point to all of this is KPJ sucks whether you like it or not. He’s not a winning formulation to any team and if anything he blunts the growth of the players worth keeping. It’s amazing you have some misplaced ego thinking we are attacking a bad player because of you.

    If I cared enough I’d paste the 10 paragraph justification for your Alts and whatever else you decided to write but I just don’t care enough to read it in the first place. Yes ignore might be better for your mental health, getting called out for bad takes is too much for you “KPG warrier”

    Let me guess, you killed someone with a knife at a bar that said the rockets would have never won a championship if Jordan didn't retire? For me it was high school and I egged my classmates house after he said that to me. I wish I had that on video.

    I bet you thought Iverson was better than Kobe and Jordan as well, if only he wasn't "misunderstood"

    More likely he killed a lot of DD (dunkin' donuts) by himself.

    Thank god there were no cameras around.

    I wasn’t going to post this but since he’s pretty incongruent with his posting here and privately this is what I got for making a similar lighthearted joke a while back ….

    Was surprised and even said I’d stop if bothered him in a polite manner.

    And if you truly understood and played the game you would over stand that AI was just as naturally gifted and was under 6ft having it more difficult with less team talent overall prime years (first ten seasons) outside of Jordan's first couple seasons pre Pippen

    Only thing Jordan / Kobe had on AI was height advantage because he was equally as skilled with the physical ability to match at 5'10''

    Before Jordan start winning ships he was labeled a ball hog scoring machine / highlight reel, and if Kobe would have had his 05-07 roster for decade and not won rings early in career he would have had that same ball hog label, which Iverson beared that same label due to not winning titles because of incompetent GM who drafted Van Horn / Hughes over T-Mac / Pierce(or Dirk), those are facts that shouldn't be ignored or ''misunderstood''

    Iverson coming out of G'town if drafting n starting my team from scratch over Harden out of ASU

    Once again only thing is height difference, if AI was 6'5'' it would be even more unfair, its a reason why Shaq said AI was mini version of himself and Bron said he played like he was 6'8'', because he played much bigger than his actual height

    Iverson was a couple inches and a half taller than Nate Robinson and played shooting guard, he was one of none, the other small guard on that level was Zeke Thomas who I would draft over Harden as well to start my team from scratch

    I would have to go Harden. Anytime RULES were changed because of a player and players start copying your moves....you are considered one of the best of All - Times.

    People claim Harden benefited from MDA's system but Harden was doing the same things under McHale too.

    Iverson vs harden and lebron vs kobe are the 2 best ways to tell if someone is clueless or not. Harden was light years better then iverson. The gap between harden and iverson is so massive that comparing the 2 is laughable. Why you would pretend AI is better because he was shorter is beyond me. Who cares how good he could be if he was taller? That’s like saying well if shaq was a foot shorter he’d have sucked. Who cares

    As funny as that sounds Iverson did a thing better and that is of course only my opinion.

    He played tougher, had a tough mentality.

    Both have not won a ship and regular season does not count for many fans.

    He wasn't better but he was arguably more popular among folks because he was small and played hard, people could relate.

    As to your statement who cares.

    Honestly Iverson vs harden is def not farfetched. Harden does 2 things well, score and pass. Iverson, it can be argued, was a better scorer than harden. Now I think harden is a better player, don't get me wrong but to think comparing the 2 is absurd would be an over exaggeration

    AI played during an era that focused on Defense and he played for the common people.

    He was the people's hero.

    I saw AI the Answer jerseys. Tons of it during that time.

    He didn't need the marketing for example from Adidas.

    This argument is so perplexing. Physical attributes, including height, weight, wingspan, speed, strength etc. are all part of what a player is. If all current NBA players were under 5'9, 99% of them wouldn't be playing professional ball even if they still had their skills. If some street ball dude were 7 feet tall, he probably would have a good chance making an NBA team.

    As the saying goes, "If my aunt had balls, she would be my uncle."

    If Iverson were 6'8, he might not be as fast as he was.
