Outside of 2001, Allen Iverson is beyond overrated

Like, yes, winning MVP, getting to the finals, and stealing a game off the ‘01 Lakers is impressive…it’s still not enough to put him in the conversations he finds his name in.

The same crowd who “values winning” puts him on a pedestal for losing in the finals whilst celebrating him just for making it there.

Excluding 2001, Iverson won just two playoff series in his career by beating the lowly Hornets twice—once in 2000 and again in ‘03.

He made the playoffs just 8 times across his 14-season career and made it past the 2nd round once (again, in 2001).

If not for some controversial officiating in the ‘01 ECFs, Iverson’s legacy would’ve been null.
