Where Iggy Ranks

POSTED: Friday, August 10, 2012, 3:26 AM

Many basketball fans in the city have been hoping for Andre Iguodala's departure from the Sixers for almost as long as he has been here. And now that he's leaving, he has certainly left his mark.

He is seventh on the Sixers' all-time scoring list (not including the franchise's tenure in Syracuse). He leaves having played more regular season games than Charles Barkley and averaging more minutes per game than all but three players that have pulled on the red, white and blue.

Here is where Iggy stands among Sixers' career leaders:

 Allen Iverson  19,931    Maurice Cheeks  853
 Julius Erving  18,364  Julius Erving  836
 Hal Greer  15,177  Hal Greer  754
 Charles Barkley  14,184  Allen Iverson  722
 Billy Cunningham     13,626  Steve Mix  668
 Maurice Cheeks  10,429  Billy Cunningham  654
 Andre Iguodala    9,422  Bobby Jones  617
 Chet Walker    8,086  Andre Iguodala  615
 Fred Carter    7,673  Charles Barkley  610
 Hersey Hawkins    7,657  Samuel Dalembert  582
 Wilt Chamberlain    7,651  Aaron McKie  536
 Steve Mix    7,559  Luke Jackson  522

    He really was a bad fit for the fans in terms of temperament, but nonetheless was an excellent player. Just like when the fans bashed Ryan Howard, they will miss Iguodala's all around game.

    Yes, Iggy is a terrific player and underappreciated by the casual Sixers fans. BUT, getting Bynum is a great move for this team.

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
