Kobe of course, he looks more sleek and graceful.  The reason why people usually think otherwise, is that many people dislike him because he has too much pride and is usually a ball-hog.  But truely, Kobe does have a better appearance, (no offense to iverson).

Kobe....better shooter, taller (6'7' vs 6'0) and could take Iverson inside all day... Frankly, I don't think it would be close...

Career stat comparisons: FG % - Nash: 47.7 %...Iverson: 42.1%\n    3 PT % - Nash: 42.1%...Iverson: 30.9%\n    FT % - Nash: 89.6%...Iverson: 77.7%\n    Assists - Nash: 7.2...Iverson: 6.2\n (Here's one that Iverson leads) Turnovers-Iverson- 3.7, Nash-2.4\n\nThe only thing Iverson does more of than Nash is get tattoos and cause problems for his coaches and teammates...and that crossover dribble?...Hell, he's carrying the ball half the time... Iverson is the most overrated player in NBA history

Steve Nash because he effects his whole team and makes everyone around him so much better look at the suns the year before he was landed

Iverson and its not even close.  Iverson may have a bad attitude some of the time, but he is a far superior player.  He hustles scores, gets his steals and goes to the middle like no other 6'1 guard.  T-Mac is lazy takes plays off and chokes in big games.  Iverson has lead his teams to the playoffs with nobody to help him.  Yet unlike TMac, Iverson wins games.  Look at T-Mac now with Yao.  He can't do anything.  Iverson is a much better player.

There is no comparison. Kobe is nowhere near the player that Bird was. It's almost laughable to compare the two. Kobe is a "shoot first, look for the open man later" statistic driven ball-hog, who is more worried about making the Sportscenter highlights than winning games. Bird could have scored many more points than what he did, but if someone was open, he got the ball to them. Thats what basketball is all about.\n\nAs for the post that said Jordan walked all over Bird and Magic in the 80's and called anyone who disagreed "retards", you must have been watching basketball in diapers at the time. It took Jordan SEVEN YEARS before he won his first championship, and he did it when Bird and Magic were retiring. His Bulls were constantly eliminated in the first or second rounds by the Celtics and Pistons. Hell, it took him four years just to get over the .500 mark.\n\n\n\nIn terms of stats, Bird owns Kobe in every catagory:\nPoints per game: Bird.. 24.3       Kobe.. 23.9\nRebounds per game:  Bird.. 10      Kobe.. 5\nAssists per game   Bird.. 6.3       Kobe.. 4.5\nFG %    Bird..  .50%      Kobe.. 45%\n3 Point %       Bird.. 38%      Kobe.. 34%\nFT %      Bird.. 89%       Kobe.. 83%\n\nThe only statistic that Kobe will probably pass Bird on might be points, mainly because Kobe started in the league at age 18, and Bird was 22 when he entered, so he has at least four extra years on Bird.\n\nBird would have won more than three championships in the 90's, especially playing with Shaq. People forget that Bird was constantly double and triple-teamed, so playing with Shaq would have made it much easier.\n\nKobe would have won the 3 championships in the 80's with the Celtics, but he would have been the backup guard behind Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge. They would have brought him in for some instant offense, but after Ainge and DJ were rested, he'd be back on the bench.\n\nBird not only was the greatest all around player ever, but he made everyone around him a much better player. Kobe does not even belong in the same sentence as the Larry Bird.

how does that not make sense? Dwane Wade can jump and he can dunk the ball easily. Steve Nash is short and white. He just doesnt have the jumping ability to go out ont he coart and dunk on people. He is more of a play maker, he controls the people on his team and he makes them better. Swane Wade is a go-to guy, he can but up point in almost any situation. They're just 2 different players, thats all.

You go with Jordan. He's the better pure shooter, and would probably make the shot. However, if there was about 10 seconds left, I wouldn't mind giving the ball to Kobe because he has the ability to drive and create his own, open shot. As a Phoenix Suns fan, I've seen this happen to us many times in games when we cannot stop him at all.

Nash but kobe deserve it

Yeah, I think it's Ray Allen... or maybe Dirk, and Nash... or Chauncey... or... Kobe's the best clutch shooter though...

Iverson is a much better player than Kidd. Iverson is the 76ers franchise. He drives the lane all the time, makes the tough shots, he almost never has a horrible night shooting, and he is very resilient. Kidd is a better passer, but his shooting is inconsistent. And if Kidd gets injured, the only part of the Nets game that would suffer is fast break points. In a half court game, I would much rather have Iverson who can drive the lane and either kick it out to Korver or make the tough layup. I dont like Kidd or Iverson because im from Detroit lol, but if I could choose either one to come to Detroit, I'd pick Iverson because of his work ethic.
