    When we rank players. We usually rank them from what they do on the court. But do we ever look at their accomplishments? If we were to rank Kevin Garnett and Allen Iverson based on what their performace this year. Its clear that anyone who know's about basketball will put Kevin Garnett over Allen Ivesron. But then again. Allen Ivesron is still among the league best players. And basically has accomplish more than than Kevin Garnett. Therefore if you would rank Allen Iverson and Kevin Garnett based on accomplishements. Allen Iverson has the edge. But the thing is that Kevin Garnett has been in the league longer than Allen Iverson. On the other hand Allen Iverson has done much more than Kevin Garnett. Even though Kevin Garnett came out of high school and took time to develop...Allen Iverson came to the league and in his first year has put his mark in the NBA. Even though Garnett cleary had the better year, does that REALLY make him better than players like Allen Iverson or even Shaq? Or lets if each of the league best players were given the same supporting case. Who would end up getting further? Based on what they've done in their present years, and based on what they can still actually do.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here...If you're trying to say that AI is better than KG, I disagree. KG is more durable, more consistent, a better team player, and overall smarter player/person. AI has gotten alot of heat for dumb things he says on and off the court, and actions on and off the court. KG on the other hand, says nothing, and proves it all on the floor. They're professional baketball players, they're not paid to prove something by talking alot of crap, and threatening players in the league.


    I can honestly say that KG is a better overall player, because he makes/demands everyone around him to play better. AI has yet to take leadership of his team.
