Forgot to mention, the only shooting guard to average 30+ ppg since 2010 is Harden who also shot league average in the years he averaged 30+.

Allen Iverson was my favorite player growing up. Right in front of me right now is a huge signed Allen Iverson framed crossing over Michael Jordan. I’ve never understood the arguments of him not being able to perform in this generation. The only knock on AI was his attitude and his preparation. Naturally gifted is an understatement, but anybody that knows AI knows that his summer routine was that of a college student. Most summers, not even touching the rock. But to put it in perspective of this generation. Had we drafted Allen Iverson instead of Markelle Fultz or Ben Simmons Philadelphia would’ve had its championship this era with Joel

It’s honestly not even worth debating, because he played at a time when nobody was focusing on efficiency. This is especially true with that team since he was essentially the entire offense and his job was to get up as many shots as humanly possible.
Complaining about Iverson’s efficiency is like complaining about the number of 3PA Jordan got up while comparing him to modern players. The game was different in each era.

OP is the goat. Thanks for the nerdy breakdown. I enjoyed it.
