Allen Iverson would be even more lethal with his crossover because every single player now palms and carries the ball, which is in addition to the 3 steps without traveling being called.

Yeah, Larry was a supreme talent, but he had toughness and no BS from his humbling upbringing in Indiana. He was always down for a scrap and can't doubt him when he played with talented hardasses like Parish, McHale, and Johnson.
Iverson would be a God in today's game, he played a lot like a modern player back then! Give him another step and lax defense and he'd be talked about as an all time great.

Nah he wouldn't. He was a loose cannon, he wouldn't be any higher or lower, except he almost certainly would never reach a finals. He once won a scoring title on less than .400... those kind of numbers wouldn't fly today.

He'd be reigned in a lot, which leads to a kick off by him... yeah, no real difference to how his career played out anyway.
