this is a tough one.

iverson is all heart, alot of talent, and has carried his team his entire career, and once to the finals.

kobe is all world talent and has won 3 rings, albeit with shaq. this is the first year he had to carry his team and it was much tougher for him than anticipated.

whom would you say had a better career so far?

this is a tough one. i think kobe is the better player but iverson is not that far behind. career-wise, i would say iverson b/c he's done it without a 2nd hall of famer on his team.

Kobe since I'm a firm believer that you don't win championships without a dominant post presense and it is impossible to be a dominant front court player on the same team as Iverson because you'll never get the ball or win a championship.

Kobe can't win it alone but Kobe and a dominant frontcourt player wins it automatically!

Kobe has had a better career in terms of achievements - namely, the 3 titles.

Talent-wise, its a toss-up. Iverson's first step is visibly better and thats saying a lot because Kobe is top-5. AI's ballhandling and passing is also significantly better.

Kobe is a better shooter, spot-up and off the dribble, and he's got a post game. Plus size means he's more effective on defense.

Kobe is less of a liablity and a better fit at 2 guard.

AI for sure, because he has carried his team to the finals, while Kobe has had the luxury to play with one of the most dominant force in the game....Look at Kobe now, is he better than AI? AI made the playoffs while Kobe was at home raping women..
