Obviously, he couldn't shoot. And even with him taking a ton of free throws, his TS% sucks and his usage was through the roof. Add in his "defense", and you have a dude who was kinda good in a real bad era.
But I digress. Does he start for a good team today? Or is he a worse Jamal Crawford? ____________________

So would Hakeem. Shaq was so fast and athletic with his size that, just like then, he would just go around and through people. The only difference is he'd probably have an easier time because the centers are 10 pounds lighter now and the PFs aren't low center of gravity bullies with trees for legs.
(Didn't notice you made the next two posts also and are in clown mode. Oh well.)
It makes sense that people fantasize yearly about a next gen Shaq entering this version of the NBA. If anything would course correct the trend away from the basket I think it'd be him/his heir.

He stayed hand checking, so that's out, prolly get cooked on D. Plus all those midrange jumpers, not passing, alienating teammates…not to mention Sessions justice department would be looking closely at his gambling.
Would he bounce around the league like Rudy Gay, before being indicted under RICO statutes?

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Irrational fan base check... CHECK Highlight plays... CHECK Plays enough defense to stick in the league during his latter years... CHECK Iconic hairstyle... CHECK
Only issue is Jeremy Lin doesn't show up to practice smelling like liquor with hangover.
SAG is meets the reckless gunner requirement.
Russell is the best comparison I can think of but Russ likes to practice.

AI could get to the lane with ease and if DeRozen's and Aldridge's games could work today, I would think Iverson could thrive if he could play in the right system.

The game's improvement is more due to the style of play and rules changes that happened.
I assumed this post was just to get the Philly contingent riled up at a slow time of year. But if serious.....Iverson's otherworldly athleticism and quickness translates to any era. A guard that can go by anyone and create offense is always going to be a problem.
