So that one basic movie makes him the best dribbler ever and you're not biased at all :hmm:
 

There was one night in 2014—he was in his old stomping grounds on the Virginian peninsula, hanging out with a man he lovingly describes as “Top Muhfuckin Smoker.” Iverson and “Top Muhfuckin Smoker” headed to an old refuge of Iverson’s, Applebee’s, to get some grub before a party appearance. They lit up outside the restaurant and Iverson started buzzing. “I’m alright! I was fine! Fine like a muhfucka. But, then, I just felt it, dog,” Iverson says, grabbing his chest and wobbling like a penguin to demonstrate.

Iverson told his homeboys he needed to straighten up, so he decided to walk down the street to find a Corona—“so I could even it out, “ he says. “I start walkin’ up an interstate. A interstate! N-gga, I’m on the interstate wit cars flying by just walkin' down the road trine find a bar!” He got kicked out of the bar. Why? Because Allen Iverson doesn’t carry ID in his home state. As he told the bartender that night: “I don’t have no muhfuckin' ID.”

So he walked back down the interstate to the Applebee’s. (Whether or not Applebee’s stocked Corona remains a mystery.) Then through the door came the guy from the bar, telling Iverson he was ok to drink there. Having now walked on an interstate twice in one night, Iverson was irate. “Fuck you, man!” Iverson says. “Gone head ‘bout ya business!”

Iverson headed back to the car where “some gangsta shit” was playin’ on the radio. He grew reflective in that moment. “I see every muhfucka that I love passin' by, all my teammates, I see my girl, I see my kids, I see her with another dude holdin’ hands, I’m thinkin' all the worst shit in the world. The door was closed and I was waitin' for the door to open and a muhfucka to kill me. At one point I even laughed, ‘like, damn, I’m goin out like this?!’” Frightened, he left the car. “Bout 10 minutes later, I swear to God, I woke up and I was laying down in a ditch.” What? “In a ditch!,” he says. “I’m in a muhfuckin’ ditch! I’m lookin around for people who see me gettin’ up off the ground. I sat back in the car and I said, ‘This is it, man.’ I heard a car burning rubber and then BOOM. I was back. I was myself.”
 
I'm talking about actually having his defender touch the ground back to back falling.

Kyrie is nice but he doesn't have better handles than Iverson.

Also, some Kyrie defenders hardly even tried to defend him.
He does. A lot of that A.I crossover is just plain ol carrying
 
I mean it does get people talking to debate.

A lot of people that make these list haven't been watching basketball long enough.

Its not REAL debate

YOU actually bringing proof nostalgia appreciation and not trying to sh*t on OTHER players to uplift the other

these lists overwhelming inspire negativity as opposed to positivity.

But people love to debate who's better no matter the year.

SO, you'll see people saying this player should be on there, that player shouldn't be on there, That player has better handles in his era vs that player can do it better now.

So, some might look at it as negativity while others don't see it that way when they want to debate who was better.

Same thing with that GOAT debate.

We can. But he was definitely carrying. Don't know how you can disagree with that




Most are incorrect when they speak about AI carrying because his hand usually wasn't under the ball.

What AI was maneuver and dance with the basketball which had the ball in his hand slightly longer which gave him an advantage.

He was before his time.

Yes sometimes he did carry but most of the time he moved with the ball, that was his hesi.

Kyrie also dances with the ball and is very fluid just like AI. Kyrie's more fluid and more of one with the ball.
 
Sometimes he carried but not as much as many like to believe.




Y'all been mad at that man for damn near 30 years for the wrong shit! :roflmao:

Mad? About what? Dawg got handles. When he hit that signature move he was carrying more times than not
 
Him being a warriors fan is even more hilarious

Watch yourself, kid...

I'm no Warriors fan. I root for Steph & Draymond. As long as those two are in Golden State, I'm pulling for that team. (Klay is great, too.) After that, I have no stake in that corporation and I'll root for whatever player or group of players I like the most. That's the way to do it IMO.
 
Dudes that have no team to root for always got the most to say.

Yo, I thought you were deeply offended at someone quoting or making reference to somebody without tagging them!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

And you got it wrong! I've been rooting for the Warriors for damn near a decade-- consistently, even in the shitty years. Gonna be rooting for them at least another 3 or 4 years. That counts as having a team to root for, it just will likely be a different team in ten years!

I root for my team until the casket drop.

I don't put a deadline on when I'm done rooting for them.

But do you, I guess what I said caught your attention like you be doing as well not tagging anyone.

You're rooting for a company until the casket drops and I'm rooting for humans who I like. Different strokes for different folks.

Is that even true? If they move to a better city like Vegas or Seattle, you'd root for them if they are the Seattle 42ers or Vegas 51ers in five years?

You'd still root for them to thrive if Trump bought the team tomorrow?

If Steph or Draymond come out for Trump tomorrow, fuck 'em. But that's not going to happen. Players > Teams
 


When did this start???

I heard that Trayce Jackson‑Davis did that with a few teams and that's how he landed in Golden State at #57. They are getting all kinds of credit for a late steal but it was a little engineered, according to at least one account.

This is wilder than the Dame Lilliard shit to me. Dudes getting drafted in the 40s and 50s are calling shots before they get their first contract???
 



Petty. The tweet did not even come close to suggesting he doesn't "come off pindowns and play off the ball." The supposed slander was that he might be the hardest to guard in isolation but he is not the most difficult off-ball. If anybody anywhere says KD isn't the best at anything, they are liable to receive a hurt reply from Kevin Durant.
