I bought every 2k game since the 1st one, and the last thing I look forward in the game is the cover... I could even get the game even if the cover was totally blank or a Brian Scalabrine cover as long as the gameplay is great

If those two ratings alone were correctly distributed, he wouldn't be as high as a 95. To put it into context. 2K is telling us that Iverson is a better SG than Pippen was a SF. And that is so far from the truth. Pippen did everything. Two way players excel in 2K's rating system. Iverson is not a two way player. Yea he got steals and scored a lot of points. Physical attributes will be great (speed, quickness, vertical), but a 95 rated Allen Iverson is clearly a lie. Maybe the feel like they owe him for being the coverboy for the first 4 years.

To answer your question, YES, Iverson, IN HIS BEST YEAR, was better than Pippen IN HIS BEST YEAR. Check out the stats. Check out the MVP award. Check how Iverson took a bunch of bench players to the Finals. I think Pippen is an amazing player; one of the top defensive small forwards of all time and a great overall player, but Iverson was the best player in the game of basketball the year he won his MVP and may be the fastest player with a basketball in hands- ever.

Melo, on the other hand, is a one-dimensional player and must have inflated attributes, as you have alluded to.

Kobe and Shaq were both better, and Duncan.

Allen Iverson defensive awareness was on another level. I would say he was more like a ball hawk like a Ed Reed on the steals. You combine that with his speed and dribble that put him on another level. He was pound for pound the best player in the league. His best skill was penetration and finishing in the paint. Those floaters high of the glass laying big men up were a sig move. They have to give him a max layup, and pretty high SIT rating. His jump shooting would be average or below probably in the low to mid 70's. 80+ FT shooter. Iverson was a tough cover because he was the first option to shoot and he would go to the freethrow line so much off of relentless attacking the basket. He was just too fast to cover.

Looking at how some of the ratings are coming out I think 2K clearly gives out slight bonus points based off your pecking order allstar, superstar or regular guys. I think in 2K12 there are only two SG's over 90+ Wade and Kobe. 3 PG's I know are over 90, CP3, Westbrook and Rose. He deserves somewhere in the low 90's
