2017 Isaiah Thomas is better than any version of Iverson.

Iv'e asked this three or four times. Pick a season from Iverson and we will go through the numbers to see. No one is willing to pit one iverson season against IT's numbers this season. If it's so disrespectful then you should be able to pick a season at random to go against IT season.

Iverson would never get shut down or give up on his team like this.

Iverson has never played with this much shooting, depth, and overall talent either....he'd still get smushed by Lebron...but it wouldn't be this bad...

Isaiah's probably just flustered playing with a bunch of mental midgets who throw up bricks when the lights go bright. Not his fault if they miss every shot in the first and only makes the defense clamp down on him that much more because there's no reason to guard the rest of them. He needs more talent around him. Lebron couldn't do it without Bosh and Wade. You think Isaiah can do it with Bradley and Horford???

Why are you so obsessed with numbers? A person on this very board twisted numbers to make I.T. look better than Jordan. Are you going to tell me you agree with that? Different era lmk when A.I. had 4 people on the floor that could shoot and space the floor. Let me know when A.I. ran to the locker room and hid . Let me know when A.I. layed an egg on a must win game on his home court. Find me those numbers.

What talent? A bunch of inconsistent shooters who can't hit wide open 3's?? At least Iverson had tough guys like Hill, Ratliff, Lynch, McKie who could provide some defensive muscle. Guys like Zeller/Jackson/Mickey/Young/Jerebko are unplayable and that's a third of the team. If Iverson was in this era, his teams would be constructed very differently too.

Iverson was just next level. He really could do it regardless of teammates. Eric Snow, Tyrone Hill, and George Lynch, oh my (at least offensively).

That's not to say Iverson would win the series mind you. That's out of reach. It is to say that Iverson would ALWAYS go down swinging. You'd have to shoot the guy to make him quit, and maybe not even then. Just utterly relentless no matter the circumstance.

There's no denying that Horford is trash against the Cavs. Always has been and always will be.

That still doesn't take away from the fact that AI would have this team in a better position than Isaiah.

It's disrespectful to AI to mention mini-me in the same breath as him.

Comparing isaiah to lebron?

gtfoh!

Celt fans need to wake up and realize that isaiah and horford are false prophets. You will never win with either player.

It's not disrespectful. It's an opinion that the OP suggested and provided some empirical evidence that in terms of efficiency, Isaiah's season would hold up to the best that Iverson could offer. I think it's disrespectful to put Lebron's name in the same sentence as Jordan's but I understand why people do.

Dodging? Ill ask for a thiRd time pick any season from iverson and we will go through the data. You wont. You havE dodged my question twice now. You have 25 years of basketball knowledge im Sure its easy to back your opinions with facts and data.

He may be more efficient but he sure ain't better. Iverson may not have been a great defender but led the league is steals a few times and wasn't as completely useless on D as IT.

IT had a great season posing as a superstar but his best role would still be as a 6th man.

It is easy to twist numbers to prove any point. Some idiot on here did it to say I.T. was better than Jordan in his 72 win year. I am sure someone here could have done I.T. vs Lebron before this series and made I.T. come out on top. Are you telling me I.T. is better than Jordan or Lebron? That is the flaw with just using numbers. After 20 years you should know this. Money Ball would never work in the NBA.

Is this true?
