Is Kyrie a modern day Iverson?

I'm still hanging on the idea that AI is not considered modern day I guess.

Poster seems to be referring to AIs finals run which was 17 years ago.

Think it's fair to seperate that from modern day

Hey, let's face it, I'm just old.  But in terms of evolution of the game, it has clearly evolved since AI's heyday.  But at least culturally, AI could be seen as the beginning of modern day basketball.

Not sure what you mean here - are you talking about the 'scoring point'?

I always felt last year we were basically Philly w Iverson, but we had no Mutombo.

IT seemed like a closer comparison in that he was this tiny superman who has to score 40 for his team to win but he did it often and well.
smart and bradley = mckie and eric snow
horford = tyrone hill or george lynch

no mutombo
no finals

but IT last year to me was basically iverson.

They talk about his cultural significance in the Iverson documentary on Netflix. He was type casted as a "thug" b/c of his dress and that stupid incident at the bowling alley. At the time, his dress shocked some people and they jumped to conclusions. He looked and played differently, and made people think differently about the modern NBA. He's one of the more influential players of the last 20 years.
