“Get out y’all feelings!” Furious crowd goes WILD after Stephen Curry gets picked over Allen Iverson
Golden State Warrior star Stephen Curry ranked higher over Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson by Matt Barnes.
Allen Iverson and Stephen Curry
Not many fans of today know this, but Allen Iverson in his prime proved his prowess on the court by carrying his team to the 2001 NBA Finals. However, a not-so-convincing former NBA player, Matt Barnes sparked controversy when he ranked Stephen Curry ahead of Iverson in the pantheon of NBA greats.
During a recent episode of the “All the Smoke” podcast, Barnes’ decision to choose Stephen Curry over Allen Iverson, was due to the Warriors star’s shooting prowess. The icing on the cake was when Barnes’ comments were met with outrage from the live audience.
However, Barnes’ previous remarks about Iverson’s physical stature, where he referred to him as “little,” added fuel to the fire. The debate has highlighted to fans the differing strengths of the two players, with Iverson’s explosive scoring and defensive tenacity pitted against Curry’s unparalleled shooting accuracy.
AI or Steph Curry?

Furthermore, a glance at their career statistics reveals remarkable achievements from both players. Iverson averaged 26.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game, where he earned four scoring titles and three consecutive steal titles. Curry, on the other hand, boasts averages of 24.7 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game, with a remarkable 47.3% field goal percentage and 42.6% three-point shooting.
And while Iverson’s athleticism and scoring prowess dominated his generation, Curry’s shooting revolutionized the game.
Stephen Curry’s status uncertain as Warriors face Wizards
While fans are debating over who the better player is between Allen Iverson and Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors have bigger things to worry about. They are set to face the Washington Wizards on Monday evening without their star player, Steph Curry once again.

The Baby Faced Assassin has remained questionable and has missed the past three games after sustaining a freak injury against the Los Angeles Clippers. Despite his absence, the Warriors have excelled, and do boast a 5-1 record in their first six games.

Hopefully, their winning run continues as after the Wizards game, the Warriors will face a daunting game against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. And the plan will be to have him back and firing on all cylinders.
