Taking CP3 over AI is just ridiculous..

[tgan3]

I know 85% of you guys in insidehoops would take CP3 over AI just for the fact he plays more of a PG style. But AI was averaging 8 apg in his prime playing SG and scoring 30 ppg to boot. AI is hands down the superior player.

Put 27 yo AI in the Clippers against the Spurs (They still wouldn't win) but he would give the Spurs more trouble then CP3 with the Clippers.

nobody who saw AI would do that... lol IMO.

I'm taking AI over everyone in the league right now except LeBron.

Come on, there were these CP3 vs AI threads last time and I swear 90% of them say they would take CP3 because hes the "smarter" player, plays team ball and higher FG%. AI was just an egocentric shot jacker to them.

AI is a great player but I'd take CP3 over him. I did see AI in his prime and he was very impressive. However, I trust CP3 more to truly get other guys involved and make the right decisions on the floor. CP3 is a crazy hard worker and he's got that insane competive spirit like Jordan, Magic and Kobe.

and a big to grab all his missed shots. i swear some bigs dont even try to get offensive boards. someone like varejao who doesnt care if he gets the ball but still hustles to get every board.

AI

Dude was a beast and played his heart out every game. It was disgusting the way he was blackballed/hated on by the media and dumb blind fans..

It sucks that the younger guys who never got to watch 76ers AI just assume he was a ball hogging chucker/cancer to his team

replace lebron with ai (prime), and you get a guy who has heart, willing to take the last shot, and can be more dominant playing alongside wade and bosh

then again, players of the 90's hated to play alongside someone good, wanted their own team to win the ring.

As long as effeciency and basketball IQ don't matter to you I guess.

[kumquat]

A shortened season and an easy trip to the finals by AI obviously has you blinded. CP3 has it all over AI. What did AI do outside of his one trip to the finals.

Jordan hated playing with Pippen, Malone hated Stockton, Kemp hated Payton, Barkley had Olajuwon but Olajuwon hated Drexler. Shaq hated Penny but Kobe hated Shaq. Duncan hated Robinson. I do however believe that Iverson honestly hated Stackhouse, truly hated sharing the ball with him.

Didn't like sharing with anyone.

Yes AI. If you've watched him play during those philly years man... the year he won the MVP, hands down incredible. Down something like 40 points against the bucks, coming back. Stepping over Lue in game 1. Hell yeah. AI is a baller straight up.

CP3 flops so bad - you're talking about the ultimate anti-CP3 when it comes to AI lol. I remember him playing with something crazy like 13 injuries.

[knicksman]

empty stats. AI cant make a team contender whereas cp3 can. Hes only lucky to have played in the weak east.
