What’s the point in these comparisons when Brunson still has half a career left

Allen Iverson is in the same predicament as Lil Wayne. For some reason, time and contemporary measures of greatness do not help them in goat arguments in their respective fields.

People don’t properly evaluate that Brunson came to NYC was named the captain and got us a championship and did whatever means necessary to accomplish that paycut and all.

JB got 10 more years left lol. Let’s discuss when the book is written

Lost all credibility when he said “even Steph”. Nigga wtf are you talking about 😭🤣

Accolades dont care about your feelings.

I’m the biggest AI fan and love my Knicks but it’s too soon. AI put in a lot of work with not much help for most of his career. Brunson still has a lot of years left so we’ll see

JB not getting that shyt off in AI era but AI getting all his off in this era

What else are they playing for? To lift the trophy, raise a banner and wear ring. That ring, changes everything. 💯

Let Brunson taste one more real conversations will be had , i love Iverson my favorite basketball of all time til game 5....Brunson comes from the same breed.....Killer

A.i the 🐐 stop wit the blasphemy

Theo Ratliff nor Derrick Coleman was on that 2001 Sixers Team that played Shaq and Kobe in the finals. Beverly has no respect! VanVleet was right not to go there! As good as Brunson’s season was; he was a non allstar as a Maverick; AI was that dude from day one; 11 time allstar!

Boy if u gonna take the Jalen Iverson pic make sure u pay homage u bum

That’s the problem, y’all are so sensitive to protect the old guard that you don’t see greatness in front of you

Why are we letting these dudes who career wasn’t hitting on shit a platform to slick down play hall of fame players. Let’s be real pat beve career wasn’t hitting trash 🗑️

Basically saying Ai was a superstar his aura is unmatched compared to Brunsons & I agree mind you if Ai only had to face only Kobe we would probably be having a diff convo rn

No small guard can compare to AI. As a rookie he was unstoppable…prior to the braids he was unstoppable. So much so that the league told him to cancel his hi-low cross. he kinda stop being a student of the game and work ethics. Had he potential to be the best player ever.

Currently AI is one of them ones but JB on allot of people heels, if for some strange reason god decides to allow my Knicks to get another one in the next year or 2 it’s quiet for the likes of Allot of tall favorites

They play different positions: SG vs. PG.

Please keep AI’s name out your mouth !!!

Brunson already up there with AI….

And this is where vanvleet thinks him and brunson are equals and it's okay to take this stance. He is not in brunson stratosphere but I see what he trying to do. The bottom line is brunson got it done and iverson never did its just that simple. And iverson career has holes too

Bro, it’s gotten so bad championships don’t matter anymore like what Jalen Brenton dropped 45 points to win a championship and finals MVP and you’re trying to tell me Allen Iverson is a better basketball player

It's way to early for this conversation, and I'm a Knicks fan.

Im not mad at him at all, a lot of us grew up trying to be like Ai. I just feel like if JB wanted to score 30 a night he could and he could do it more efficiently than AI. JB is special

@MR_koach_carter We not doing this. If Wade is better than Harden because of rings, Brunson is better than AI, Kyrie, Harden, Westbrook etc…. You play the game to win.

lol These guys play in an era of zero defence Let’s see how Freddy boy would do against Gary Payton

Nigga said we gotta ignore what’s going on right now cause I respect a.i to much wtf? Man let Brunson get his shine

Emotional

AI was averaging 30 year 9

Brunson hasn't won a MVP yet.

Just appreciate both in their own right

First round they be lucky to win 20 games

AI went and stole a playoff win against Shaq and Kobe and I don’t see Jalen Brunson doing that with that same team!
