criticizing iverson for low fg% is silly. those years when he was shooting 40% were when the sixers' strategy was to have him fling up shots while surrounding him with defensive players and rebounders. when GOAT played on teams when he wasn't forced to carry the whole load--both in philly and denver--his FG% normalized to a perfectly solid 45%.

1997 .461 on 18 fg (with stackhouse and coleman)
2005 .447 on 25 fg
2006 .442 on 20 fg
2007 .458 on 19 fg

of course a guy who led the league in minutes while being burdened with providing offense for a starting lineup of ratliff, snow, lynch and hill saw his inefficiency damaged.
