Not sure Tmac overshadowed Reggie Miller... both were impressive performances, but the Pacers were done, in a playoffs game, without that one. Sure, it's not that impressive now, but back then... that guy was the closest thing we had to Steph Curry (again, of course Steph surpassed him)

[@Mitsuho629]

It's still a shame that people make fun of Iverson for his practice rant. With some context its not really funny at all. His best friend died earlier in the day and he was frustrated that people were annoying him about missing a practice. "My best friend is dead & we lost. And this is what I have to go through for the rest of the summer until the season is all over again. This is what I got to go through.” Its funny to meme some times but try to act like a human being when some one else is suffering.

[@LoloPea-h5j]

I blame Philly owners for that. They gained so much income just from A.I. and did not spend any $$ from their cap. With Grandpa Old Mutombo Iverson was the only person to play. Rest of the team were just bunch of scrubs who weren't at NBA level. That's why they put Ty Lou to run around him at defense and triple team him. If he had just 1 teammate who could score a bit we would have Iverson on GOAT debate now. Even Kobe said about the greatest in their era conversation that "we were very fortunate that AI wasn't 6'5" or 6'6" otherwise it would have been a different story."

[@e-kip9363]

Couldn't agree more. He always played 1v5. No one could've guard him if he had a buddy who could play. Imagine clubbing all night and drinking, not practicing and still becoming an MVP. If he worked hard like MJ, Kobe or LeBron he would be The GOAT
