Iverson is such a different type of player as he later in his career was more of a shoot first PG. The issue with Iverson versus Wade is that Iverson took so many bad shots, took way too many 3 point shots despite rarely making much above 30% of them and gambled all the time on defense which helped get him a lot of steals but also left him out of position plus he was really too small to guard other SG's which of course has to be a big mark against him.
In virtually any scenario where you are starting a team and choosing a SG other than Jordan, Kobe or West I can't think of anyone who wouldn't take an in his prime Wade over an in his prime Iverson. He is just a better player than Iverson.

You are saying then that the 2001 Sixers get to the finals with Dwayne Wade...at any point in his career? The only times where wade was the focal point of the offense, the heat never made it past the second round and a few years they didn't make it out of the first round.
AI lead the league in scoring four times and won a league MVP award. Can Wade make either claim?
