He took everyone one on one. He barely used picks like in todays game. I was watching a game against j kidd and jaque vaughn and he was incredible taking them 1 on 1 nearly everytime while getting double teamed. The players today arent better they are just spamming pick and roll. Now they might be smarter but thats all ill give you

He was inefficient mostly because he was a (barely) 6 foot player having to score over much larger defenders, in a tough defensive. As evidence of how rule changes can impact stats Iverson in 2001, his MVP year at 26, averaged 31 on 42%. Flash forward just 5 years, post 2004 perimeter rules changes, and a visibly slower 31 year old A.I playing mostly the same style averages 33 on 45%. If you put peak Iverson in 2005 he's dropping 35 on 45%.

That is a hot jersey. Haven't worn jerseys since my early 20's but I'd rock a shirt version of that.

Efficiency is all about getting quality looks and when you taking 25+ shots it's not that easy so a lot of his shots were prayers but when he got a good look he was efficient. If he was cherry picking his shots I'm sure he could've shot above 50%.

He also played alot more off the ball and created offense off catch and shoots than say, someone like Harden who dribble dribbles for 2/3 of the shot clock.

I'm so old. I hate watching allot of matches because they just spam Pick and roll or switches until they find a good match up. Smarter but then you have ****ing people doing it in pickup too. Old man yells at clouds

He was like Kobe, insisted on making it difficult for himself.

Iverson had the most success shooting mid range jumpers off ball.

I think people only remember his drives from the highlight reels, but mostly he shot midrange jumpers and when he did that coming off ball, he was successfull.

It was when he decided to go 1 on 1 and do everything alone that the efficiency dropped.

Ahhh, this explains it. I had always thought it was because he missed a bunch of shots.
