Rivers Jr.: Iverson was praised at the time when he made 30 shots, but he would be scolded so badly now.
Recently, former NBA player Austin Rivers discussed the topic of who is the best scorer in the NBA in the Ringer NBA podcast.
He said: "But I think the only problem with this is that the development of the game has indeed made data analysis and hit rate more and more important. It's not that these were not important before, but they are not as important now. Now our entire game is revolving around data, and before it is more judgmental by the naked eye. At that time, people didn't care that Iverson scored 30 points and used 30 shots. They would just say that Iverson was too dominant tonight. But if you play like this now, you will definitely be crucified."
