[@TheUltimateRage]

I'll tell you how, as someone who's a Chicago homer and a fan of the Rockets during the Rockets' tenure. For one, Harden's game was very simple. Layups and step-back/side-step 3s with no mid-range whatsoever. Harden's overall percentages don't take into account the game-by-game context of Harden seasons over his career. One night he can score a 50+ point triple double. The next night he can go 2-27 from the field, 1-16 from 3, getting the majority of his shots from the freethrow line. That goes especially in the playoffs when he's not gettin' foul calls. For AI to average 43 points in the modern era, more than likely he would have to be on a terrible team to get that many shot attempts, or he would have to have literally one of the best, most efficient seasons of all time, which is possible but extremely unlikely. Like, he would have to have Devin Booker Game 3/4 against the Nuggets last playoffs-type of efficiency, which I would love to see, but this is all hypothetical anyway. Either way, it's certainly possible and fun to think about.

He's gonna Chuck up 15 more shots to average 43. Most inefficient scorer of all time tbh.

[@Rieky22]

AI was the by product of not having any kind of offensive help in his prime so he had no other choice but to Chuck up lots of shots because the 76ers front office didn’t have no kind of brain cells once so ever to get him help. But 43 points per game? Is a little bit exaggerated but he’ll at least average 30 or close to it

[@officialconch]

The only way you could stop AI from driving is fouling him. His effectiveness in this wide open league would be 50-60% from 0-3 feet. He’d get to the line 15 times and make 12 FT’s (80%) and he’d make 15 of 30 shots at the basket. 42 PPG. Now let’s take 5 of those 30 shots and make them 3-point attempts. He’d drive 25 times and make 12 and drain 2/5 from 3-point. Still 42 PPG. Add in a few outliers and games where he gets hot from 3 or has a 60-70 point explosion, he’s averaging nearly 45 ppg. Yes, he’s shooting 47-40-80 splits like he did vs the Pistons in the 2005 playoffs because like in 2005, hand-checking was banned and even against elite defense like the Pistons, that allowed him to shoot 47-40-90 splits

I think in modern NBA not only Iverson but like 30 today superstars could make 40ppg. Points farming became to easy and what's the most important - points one player do doesn't mean that much as it was in Iverson/Shaq time. 40 points when your team make 130 isn't the same 40 when your team has 90. Now it's more important how's your teammates doing, how you as a leader make them better. That's why Jokic dominates not making even 30, and Luka scores more and more but Dallas have no progress.

There is not one guard in the NBA that could stand in front of Iverson. Stop the cap. Also, his efficiency was not great because he was getting doubled and sometimes triple teamed. Same with Kobe. Yall quick to say Harden is this amazing scorer, but ALOT of his points came from free throw line and back then the step back he does would be called a travel every time. This is a dumb discussion in general, what they are saying is Iverson could score more points per game in today's NBA than when he played.

@@goreyboyz8564 I actually agree that to be the logical rebuttal. It depends how the defence reacts. There is a surplus of 6’9 utility players now playing positionless basketball but simultaneously there are like 1-2 traditional centres left in the league. Iverson was a relentless attacker of the basket and the bottom line is, the area of the court he worked in most during the half-court offence is literally a wide open field compared to his era. There is a degree of assumption involved in how the pace and openness would impact his game. But all we know is he averaged 33 with both those factors being against him in 2000-2006. My main argument would be his speed. Luka and Embid have 60-70 point games in today’s game and I don’t care what the pace and possession count is, nor how skilled they are at scoring, those dudes are everything BUT fast 😂 The reason I grant him 40 is because I think he can literally get 20-30 pts a night without shooting a single FG.

As someone who was old enough to remember watching Iverson play, I can tell you it's extremely likely he could average 40+, the spacing and gamelan has vastly changed since he's been around.

Which is what he specializes in. We already have an idea of what he would look like with kyrie, could kyrie do it? Uh... yeah, he could. Could is the operative word here. The gamelan would have to be ball heavy for his hands, which could lack efficiency in overall team performance. At the end of this, COULD Iverson average 43? Yes. He could. Is it likely? Not really. Most teams won't sacrifice this much to get their players. Plus minutes seem to be getting a bit lower than they used to be. I love watching Iverson. But 43? Eh. Sure I'll give it to him.

That Gil podcast is garbage

[@MichelePonte]

I still have a poster of Iverson in my high school bedroom, and despite being a huge AI fan, these guys are smoking!

Here are some stats that kind of go with what McCants said: If Iverson took 25 shots a game with 10 being 3s at around 38%, 15 shots being 2s at around 53%, and 13 FTs at around 83.5% (about his best FT %)...he would average 38.2 PPG. With the same shot distribution, he would have to shoot 64% from 2, 41% from 3, and 88.5% from the stripe to average 43 PPG.
