Are you serious? As soon as Iverson joined the Sixers, it became his team. He was clearly better than Stackhouse, and their games didn't mesh well because Stackhouse was a volume shooter. That's like saying Harden ran Lin out of town. Their games don't mesh together well. Why would Harden, who is clearly better, change his game to make sure Lin fit?
The Warriors would still be a good team without Curry -- the 7<strike>9</strike> 6ers would have been a lottery team without Iverson.
Lol. Iverson is amongst 4 players that single-handedly could take a team to the Finals when surrounded with sub-par/mediocre support. Those players are: Dwight Howard Hakeem Olajuwon LeBron James Allen Iverson Curry is not one of them, though, Curry is a much more efficient scorer. Iverson was borderline unstoppable.
If curry played in a league that was even a bit as physical as back in the 90's/early 00's he would be on the injury report every single night. I think A.I.was overhyped. But some of the things he did facing double-triple teams were amazing.
Give me AI any day over Curry. James Harden shout out in Post Malone's song White Iverson: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XhmGfZ1SeuY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You can talk about how efficient Steph Curry is all you want, he would never be able to carry a team of George Lynch, Dikembe Mutombo, Aaron McKie, Tyrone Hill and Eric Snow to the finals or even the playoffs for that matter. Both are chuckers but AI pretty much had no choice cause he WAS the offense. There wasn't a single soul on that finals team that you could give the ball to and tell them to go get a basket. Put AI in Steph's current position and they would flourish.
People in this thread are prisoners of the moment Do any of you even remember the team A.I took to the finals? Imagine prime A.I on the current warriors...... A.I>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Curry easy
people will always think less of AI because of the crap era of the NBA he played in but the hate is undeserved and he was incredible.
Put Steph Curry on the 2001 Sixers in a league with no hand-check rules, and that team is an 8th seed at best.
I think Iverson was the greater player, but he was more or less uncoachable. Looking just head-to-head, I pick Iverson. But, if I was picking one for my team, I'd take Curry. Aside from that, I think comparing these two is kinda arbitrary. For an historical comparison, I'd use Reggie Miller.
Some of you are either too young, have terrible memory or just don't understand how SAVAGE prime AI was. Prime AI >>>>>>>>> Curry
I really couldn't believe this question and then I opened the thread and couldn't believe the fist responses....Whoever said curry I believe just started watching basketball.
I remember back in the day during his MVP season they showed a graph with all the injuries he had sustained over the season and still kept playing at such a high rate into the Finals where he averaged 35 ppg. Iverson was a legend.
