    AI had 12 years of consistent superstar play. AI lead the league in scoring and steals multiple years.

    Westbrook just got good this year. Way too soon bruh.

    when he has a finals appearance, a mvp, and comparable career stats. westbrook is my 2nd fav player right now but its too early... hell rose just tore his acl and may never be the same and this same thread was made last year for him and ai.

    Zeke is one of the GOAT PGs, no denying that, & he's a 2x champion & finals MVP . But I'm measuring AI as a scorer & overall impact in the league. He is single-handedly the most influential player after Michael Jordan, then Kobe comes after AI.

    Isiah and AI and Archibald are the best small men ever. Zeke is a top 5 pg eva he gets disrespected too much

    But what separates AI from those guys, was that he was arguably the most talented player in the league when he reigned. Zeke & the others were never season MVPs, scoring champions, 1st team, 1st team All-Defense etc....AI wasn't a PG, he is 5'11 doing to the league what MJ did when he first came in the league

    i disagree the league was different... Isiah could have played like AI but he was more team oriented and was on a defensive minded team. AI was given the reigns to do what he wanted. In the 80's coaches woulda made AI play point or come off the bench like Vinny Johnson. Being in this generation he was allowed more liberties

    No they are simply two different style of players. MJ ruled the league along with Magic & Bird. AI was always in the top 3 dominant players in his time, unlike Zeke. Zeke couldn't score like AI. AI is a SG not a PG.



    u missing the context of what Im saying... Coaches back then cuz of size woulda made him play point or come off the bench as a scoring 2.... They wouldnt have traded a Stackhouse to make it all about AI.... The league was different. Zeke could score like ai. go watch him chop up Stockton for 40 , go watch him chopping in the playoffs with the wrapped up hamstring. He could od that but still run an offense where as AI was the offense cuz he refused to run point. Im ahuge AI fan by the way

    i agree with what you are saying....sometimes comparing players from different generations can be unfair tooo...but we do it b/c its fun... iverson would have definately played pg in the 80s.... and zeke could score....he had like a 40 point game on a ? ankle.....

    Iverson single handily took his team to the Finals.

    His best team mates were Eric Snow and McKie.
