Jordan shot over 50% for his career, Iverson is in the low 40's. Jordan wa the premier post guard of his era, premier finisher, and premier defender. Noone today is better at penetrating and drawing contact than AI is and he scores a ton from all over but his game is, and has never been, in no way similar to Mike's.
However there is a guy named Kobe, another one named Wade, and a third one named Lebron to watch out for. Any of the 3 may end up fitting the bill.
so what is the point of that post? The same applies for marbury who has been a premier PG in the league for years, he is a better scorer, defender and assist man than ridnour, he penetrates the lane much better than ridnour does, he scores more than he does, and commands more double teams... So to even hint that ridnour is a better PG is a joke, steph may not be the best Pg in the leauge but he is damn sure better than ridnour. Almost in the same way you described Jordan being better than AI...
first off
Marbury is not a Jordan, nor has he been a premier anything
secondly
If Ridnour held the ball as much as Steph he'd have similar statistical numbers as well.
watch Seattle, watch how guys catch clean passes at the hands where they can easily raise and fire. Ray and Rashard come off curls and the ball meets them in a way that the transition into whatever move they are going to make is smooth as ice. Ridnour drives the baseline and keeps his dribble alive. He drives the lane with his head up. He is a good on the ball defender. He can defend full court. He plays the passing lane better. And most importantly Seattle is 60-32 with Ridnour as a starter. And plz don;'t make references to the rosters because the last 2 seasons Seattle was picked to finish in the basement and are not picked to be a play-off team again this season while the Knicks were picked to win the Atlantic last season and contend for a play-off spot this season.
comparing Steph and Luke is like comparing Aaron Brooks and Delhomme. The numbers will not tell the entire story.
