True for Bron...not true for AI...
No one ever shitted on AI for not taking the 76ers to the Promise Land...For God's sake...The man took a team filled with defensive players to the Finals...People shitted on AI for his attitude...Is was never his ability to "not" get it done because dude overachieved...
Bron got heat because of one simple reason...He was/is viewed as the BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME who also happened to be 6'9 and 260...AI was never considered that caliber of player...Iverson was considered a freak of nature who did way more than he should have been able to do (hence his MVP)...But come on...only delusional Sixer fans shitted on AI...No one ever thought he was going to win a ring..
Bottom line....Bron and AI were/are not in the same boat...
