Allen Iverson

Allen Iverson's 2001 MVP season remains iconic, but his efficiency stats reveal a more flawed player than his reputation suggests. His career assist rate of 27.6% was unremarkable for a ball-dominant guard, falling short of even Westbrook's 42.1% by 14.5 percentage points. Worse, his teams never ranked above 18th in offensive rating during his prime, disproving the myth he carried weak rosters—the 2001 Finals run required a top-five defense, while his on-off splits were negative in five of eight Sixers seasons. Heart doesn't replace 41.8% shooting in crunch time.
