I never knocked McGrady for things that Iverson did his entire career.
You called out McGrady for being inefficient when Iverson and he were nearly just as efficient at shooting the ball for their careers. McGrady was also more efficient with assists:turnovers. You called McGrady selfish when Iverson was notoriously selfish. Both players dominated the ball in terms of shot attempts and time with the ball in their hands.
When Iverson left teams they got worse. When McGrady left teams they got better.
The Sixers nearly went into re-building mode after the Iverson for Andre Miller trade. The Nuggets arguably DID get better after A.I. left. They made the WCF after the Iverson for Billups trade. Pistons were in re-building mode after A.I. left.
The Magic got back Francis and Mobley after McGrady left. They got Dwight soon after that. The Rockets had the best season out of Yao and also had Artest and Battier. They were DEEP. If McGrady had been healthy, they likely would have won the West in 2009.
Iverson palyed off the ball for half his career. McGrady never played off the ball.
Again, that is not the case. McGrady played off the ball at times.
Iverson is 6th all time in scoring and McGrady is outside the top 60.
Already been over this. Minutes matter. Look at their prime years.
Iverson is the best scorer all time under 6'3". McGrady is not even in the top 30 scorers who are 6'4"-6'8".
McGrady is damn well one of the best 30 scorers in NBA history and so is Iverson. Iverson was 5'11'' and McGrady was 6'8''. I am pretty sure I know who would win that game of 1-on-1. Height matters. If Nate Robinson was 6'6'', he would be a current superstar and future hall of famer. Iverson's height was a key disadvantage.
Iverson went further into the playoffs.
The Eastern Conference from 2001-2003 was PITIFUL. The Western Conference was STACKED from 1999 all the way until now arguably.
McGrady is an average scorer amongst the best players all time. If you think he is an all time great you can believe that.
McGrady was arguably a better scorer than LeBron is now in his prime. He was a better scorer than Duncan and KG easily. The only two scorers that even rivaled him last decade were Iverson and Kobe. That is it.
The facts and data support what I have.
You haven't given any more fact than anyone else. Most of what you type are false assertions with no facts in sight like this:
Most of what you are implying I am wrong on I have not even typed. I never stated that Iverson was an efficient scorer. All I have stated is that Iverson did play without the ball and McGrady never did. If you disagree with that then you just don't know what you are talking about. Iverson under Brown was not the PG on offense. McGrady never learned how to play without the ball and it is the primary reason his teams lost in the playoffs.
Things are what they are, even if you cannot accept the facts.
What facts? Looks more like b.s. than facts.
