You're a Team GM: Do You Take Iverson or LeBron

[tlance]

AI is the best PG since Stockton and Isiah. Tons of NBA GMs would choose to build off of Iverson over LeBron.

Name 1?

I think many NFL GMs might opt for AI, but there might even be a couple there who would take a shot at LeBron.

Is this trolling? Like, what's going on?

Smitty, you can't be serious. Limited by height? So if he had been 6' 2" he'd have been better than he was?

Wait, it'll come.

If AI were 6'8" Id have to think about it. (Good God did I ever hate him with the Pistons)LeBron can gaurd 60-80% of opposing players. AI, while ridiculously quick, could get shot over by many gaurds. James just brings too much to the table against a smallish gaurd. (The Big O, Magic, Jordan, Bird and that's about it for me. LBJ is a truely dynamic player. And I wish you could have done the Dynasty Draft with us. One of these times man.)

Is anyone in here old enough to buy beer?

Got real drunk the one time I drove from MI to Philly for a Sixers game. My girl is/was a HUGE AI fan. For the second player on the team Im building Id consider AI. (And Im not so sure about the "he's not a PG" stuff. At his most dangerous with the ball in his hand IMO. Only problem, the ball was always in his hand.)

Billy King?

This can't be a serious question!

A.I. did one or two things well, score & play the passing lanes. Where as Lebron does everything A.I. did, only better, & does far more.

Lebron is the better scorer, 3 point shooter, rebounder, defender, & passer. Where as with A.I., all you are getting is a volume shooter who is better at playing the passing lanes than Lebron.

How many titles does AI have again?

I would love to hear the argument here. Lebron was criticized because he didn't win in Cleveland, which some would point out he didn't have help. Love to hear what the excuse is here.

This is a lesson on how to start a popular late night thread. You teens take note.

Lebron is a team player. AI was great, but it was Me Me Me

We could tell you're hammered and probably on some hardcore drugs

No shit.
Ask the same question to him naming any 15 ex Lakers players and A.I.would come in 2 nd every time.

A.I. was great, but at a different tier of great, and that tier is below James'.

So this thread was just to start shit...lol ok

No brainer...LBJ

C'mon Hammer...seriously?

AI was a 2 in a 1s body...great player, great heart...if he had been able to realize that a team with a PG as the leading scorer has never really won many titles, maybe Philly would've been able to attract better talent around him...the 3 headed G system in DET was truly unique, and not likely to ever be duplicated...certainly not the results.

 

[Perpetual_Beast_Mode]

I'll take Lebron James and his MUCH higher shooting percentage than AI's.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Too bad you can't click on the poll results and see who voted ...or did Hammer rig the settings so he could vote 3 times?

 

[gordontrue]

What sport are we talking? I'm trying to think of a sport where the answer isn't obvious...

 

[Desean12345]

Im probably the biggest AI fan here. He's a notoriously underrated player and is hated by almost everyone, mostly for things that have nothing to do with basketball. That being said, you would have to be a complete idiot to think AI is better than Lebron. Lebron is in a whole different realm than AI.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Is Hammer still shithoused from last night?
