KP, I think you should have taken a look at the stats before you posted. Shaq played 73 of the 82 games, i wouldn't count missing 9 games as missing time. Wade obviously has the better team around him. Iverson's 2nd a 3rd leading scorers were Mark Jackson and Kyle Korver (with the exception of the 21 games Chris Webber was with them, which is only 25% of the season).

Iverson had more PPG 30 to 24. Iverson had more assists per game 8 to 6.8. Iverson had more steals per game 2.4 to 1.6. Iverson had a better FT% and 3 point %. The only real stat Wade was better at was Rebounding.

But if you just throw out stats you have to compare what each player had to work with. Iverson took a bunch of nobody's to the playoffs. And please don't anyone jump on me about putting Wade down, because I am not. I am merely saying why Iverson got 1st team and Wade did not.
