They dont understand. AI took on the whole eastern conference by himself. AI is a scoring machine like Jordan and Kobe, his height was his only con about him. And they never sorrounded with superstar talent like these other dudes.

The game then was different. A lot tougher and more brutal. AI took a lot of nasty hits and got up and continued. Could Kyrie play in the late 90s earlier 2000s with teams like New York and Detroit? He has a hard time staying on the court in this soft a$$ league. If AI was to play in the league now at in his prime, not only would he have had more MVPs and scoring title than Kyrie, James Harden and KD would want to play with him because he had more... (wait for this sh!t) ...heart. And that's immeasurable on the court.

So let me get this straight you will take a guy that has no championship rings over a guy who has a championship ring and hit the Clutch 3 with 1 minute left in a game 7 on the road. And I had Allen Iverson shoes and he was my favorite player because he changed the game and made me rocks braids. Y'all can listen to these people who trying to throw a narrative but one ring is better than no ring especially if you hit the game-winning shot on the road in the NBA Championship that's the biggest stage there is

You can add this to your comment: You're seriously putting up a modern copy vs the King of Crossovers? In every single game or highlight, you can see Irving shoving his defender off. But the King dances his way through... He doesn't touch em, but makes em drop. So, I'll give you a moment to think about the rules that changed in the game and how would the King of Crossovers play on this era where nobody can touch the ball handler more than AI's era.. Kyrie couldnt carry a whole team alone like AI did. Kyrie is one of those superstars who needs other superstars to win rings. Nuff said.

Kyrie Irving was made by that I mean he practiced dribbling drills and shooting drills all his life, his father made him into the player he is. AI was a normal guy like me and you, he played at the playground and had fun, he was just talented, he played every sport that's why he was great at football and won state championship titles in both sports. Think about if AI had basketball forced down his throat as a kid, he would of been Jesus with a basketball. AI had heart something you can't teach and that's what makes him so much better... No comparison, it must be a slow sports day to ask such a dumb question.

Iverson played with a broken tailbone and other injuries. Players feared him and did everything not to end up on a highlight. He had to go up against Shaq and other Giants in an aggressive league. He tired players out to the point of exhaustion. You know you had to bring your A game. Multiple defenders on one guy. Constantly in the paint getting beat down. Plus they banned his crossover. Stop playing with AI. Everybody wanted to be him.

@John Mohri You don't just "barely get" Jordan. True - Jordan almost got back to it, but the key thing here is ALMOST. He would've gotten back to that shot on any other player. AI had to execute that to perfection, or else it wouldn't have worked. Jordan is one of the best perimeter and on-ball defenders of all time. He made 1st-team All-Defense 9 times. Kyrie has never even been on the court with someone of that defensive pedigree. If he had been the one trying that on MJ, it would've been a strip and a turnover, or a block and a fast break. Iverson crossing Jordan and Kyrie breaking Delon Wright's ankles just aren't quite the same thing.

It's just that, in clutch time, he asks for the ball, like every clutch player in history, and makes most of them. That's clutch. Also, Kyrie hasn't had very many chances to lead. He's had 3. He's only really been bad the second time. On the Nets, no one's the leader. They all take turns playing iso and having 40 point nights.

yeah kyrie can create 20 new moves because of the rules no hand check wide spacing and no defense, im not trying to trash kyrie out I thinking his a great player his a sick ball handler but A.I plays in an era of pressure players and still out skilled and out smart them with his handles and ankle breakers scoring more pts getting the MVP and carrying a team w/o a superstar, he played with passion and heart never givesup and keep pushing ti'll the end of the game, probably the only player that pushed kobe to his limit
