    Default Hypothetical: What would happen if Westbrook is matched up against prime Iverson?

    Westbrook is much bigger and much more physically imposing, while Iverson went through much bigger defender throughout the years and is one of the greatest volume scorer the league has seen.

    How do you imagine their head to head would be like?

    What would happen? 65+ shots, 70 to maybe 75 points...I imagine.

    Iverson would burn him with his raw speed and 40+ inch vert (keep in mind WB only has a poverty 36.5 inch vert)

    Gotta love how Iverson...a guy who once averaged 31ppg on an absurd 28 shots...is going to burn everyone when these revisionist clowns look back. It's really hilarious how nostalgia has overrated Iverson.

    Both guys would get they wanted on offense. I think AI was a slightly better shooter and slasher, who got the FT line even more than Westbrook does. Iverson had better lateral quickness which made him a better man defender than Westbrook, and he was also great at gambling for steals. Westbrook is a better rebounder and a more versatile defender (post, blocks, etc.) than AI. Both guys are insanely competitive, and it would be a great matchup, but I give the edge to AI.

    keep in mind iversons world class athleticism (probably fastest player in nba history and a 40+inch vert)

    I thought about this. Then I realized neither Westbrook nor Brooks would be intelligent enough to deploy this strategy.
