I guess averaging 28-6-6 and being named Finals MVP on the winning team no longer impresses you?

You think AI being an unrepentant gunner makes him a better player than Wade because he led the league in scoring? AI also led the league in missed shots virtually every year he played. Iverson only led the league in scoring because he took WAY more shots than everyone else, not because he was more efficient that everyone else. Ever take a look at his shooting percentages? What about the year he went 11-27 for the season? What about taking 4.5 3 point shots a game despite hitting less than 30%?
Wade's worst season FG% is far better than any of Iverson's best. Wade led the league in scoring in 08-09 averaging 30.4 while shooting 49%.


Using advanced stats the gap is even larger. Wade has 99.5 Win Shares (similar to WAR in baseball)for his career in 662 games. Iverson has 99 in 914 games. That is a HUGE difference. Basically Wade has already surpassed Iversons career and probably still has at least 3 or 4 seasons left. Going by PER a measure of per minute production, Wade for his career has an avg score of 25.6. Iverson's number is 20.9. A significant difference.


You compare the players to each other and Wade is the better SG. He can obviously play off of a dominant ball handler and also be the dominant ball handler. AI, no way can he play off the ball. Wade is a more complete player, more efficient player and far more well rounded player.

135 in 1086 games. PER 21.1

MJ 214 in 1072 PER 27.9
Kobe 172 in 1233 PER 23.4
West 162 in 932 PER 22.9
Wade 99.5 in 662 PER 25.6
R. Miller 174 in 1389 PER 18.4
R. Allen 140 in 1219 PER 18.8
Gervin 116 in 1060 PER 21.4
Earl Monroe 77.4 in 926 PER 17.2


Trevor Ariza 26 in 551 PER 13.7
Delonte West 24.5 in 432 PER 13.9


Gerorge Gervin led the league in scoring 4 times and his FG% those 4 years was .536, .541, .528, and .500. He had 2 different years where he made zero 3 point shots which is a bit bizarre considering he was leading the league in scoring one of the years. He only took more than 100 3pters in 1 season.

MJ 5 times led the league in scoring while shooting higher than .500 from the field.
