Iverson is one of the greatest pointing guards of all time. He led the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals, but unfortunately lost 1-4 to the Lakers led by the "OK combination". So much so that the career 0 champion became the uncrowned king of the NBA.
Over the course of his career, Iverson has played against a lot of great players. He clearly knows what great players look like? Recently, Iverson revealed his heart for the top five players in history. This list is not the same as the traditional top 5 list, and Warriors star Stephen Curry is on the list. In addition, there are "OK combinations" O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, James and Jordan will of course be selected.
In Iverson's list, we don't see veteran superstars like Abdul-Jabbar or Magician. Instead, most of the players are players Iverson has played against in his career. In the eyes of some, Shaquille O'Neill may be too highly ranked here, but he was one of the most dominant big men at his peak, so it is understandable that he was included here.
Curry rarely makes it into the top 10 of the all-time list, let alone in the top five. However, Stephen Curry is definitely one of the greatest point guards of all time. His influence on the game is undeniable, and he almost changed the way modern basketball is played on his own. Both Curry and Iverson are game-changing short guards, so Iverson appreciates Curry's influence on basketball.
There is no doubt that some will be unhappy with Iverson's list. However, there will never be a top 5 list that will satisfy everyone. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to submitting their list, so the debate over which players make it to the top 5 will most likely never end.
