Iggy was great. Better then Robert Horry, but not really a HOF'er.

Analytics does love him though. His total WS (Win Shares) and VORP (Value Over Replacement Player), is really solid, especially if you count his Playoff contributions into those stats.

He's in the realm of many HOF'ers by those stats. Some big namers to. He's also in the realm of many guys like him, who have been mostly forgotten about as far as the HOF is concerned because their traditional counting stats aren't huge either.

BTW, those stats I mentioned are in a similar ballpark as the other "AI". No doubter, 1st ballot HOF'er Allen Iverson. Iggy did play quite a few more games to compile those numbers......but still...........

Now, to make it even more interesting. Because of Iversons high usage rates during his career and Iggy�s 6th man status for the 2nd half of his career, they have a similar amount of minutes played, despite Iggy playing about 300 more games. Iggy only has about 2000 more minutes played, which comes out to about 48 games of play, based on Iversons usage during his career.

None of this really means anything. I just find it �interesting�.
