As he prepares to enter his 20th NBA season, veteran point guard Chris Paul is uncertain about where he will be playing. The final year of his $30 million contract with the Golden State Warriors is non-guaranteed, leading many to speculate that the team will either trade or waive him in order to avoid going over the luxury tax threshold.

While Iverson’s impact on the game and basketball culture cannot be denied, comparing their talent has led to an interesting discussion about their respective strengths and weaknesses.
