I would give AI higher athleticism. I considered him very athletic. Just short. Which in WifS terms, I've heard that height and weight are factored in with the ratings. Which is an entire different topic waiting to explode!

He was way more athletic than a 37 or 45 in real life. But I guess that lowering his athleticism is the only way to create Iverson in the game form

I don't think that you will find any 35 AT guys in the NBA or even in the ACC, Big 10. etc. They simply don't have the strength, leaping ability, or agility to compete at the highest level. However there are lots of quick, below the rim {many under 6') guards playing low level D1/ D2 who would have a low AT rating.

Agree 100%. AI in his prime was fantastic at finishing through traffic/at the rim/absorbing contact for a guy his size. Way higher that 37 to 45 ATH for sure.

This may be true. And I wasn't necessarily trying to compare to an NBA or Power Conference player necessarily. Just someone that must people know. If we start discussing current D2 or D3 players, nobody would know what we're talking about. Or at least very very few would. I wouldn't know one player from D2/D3 in real life at the moment
