[kennethgriffin]

james harden is above wade though.. and neither guy is top 10 currently


both were 3rd team all nba


the top 10 is

- Lebron
- durant
- paul
- kobe
- melo
- parker
- westbrook
- howard
- duncan
- M.Gasol

i'd rather have all these guys on my team..

harden is 11th, wade is 12th ( and this doesnt even consider derrick rose's comeback )

[Kurosawa0]

That was pretty weak of Durant.

lmao

You're better than this griff. Wade got the same OssaTron procedure he had prior to the 08-09 season. Also, Parker has no business being above Duncan.

[tmacattack33]

What did KD say first?

Did some interviewer ask him for his current top 10 or what?

:roll: @ Harden being better than Wade.

21/5/5/2/1 on 51%. Kobe did score 6 PPG more than Wade, but he was worse than Harden on the defensive end.

[Nuff Said]

Wow bad blood? Gonna be interesting with kd and lebron as good friends.

[TheMarkMadsen]

This is what KD said exactly

http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/heatzone/2013/09/24/james-harden-over-dwyane-wade-kevin-durant-thinks-so-video/

He immediately shrugged his head when Kone was listen at 9.

I think he disagreed with Howard & Wade.

But where's WB?

[Lebron23]

I love to see a rematch in the NBA Finals.

[russwest0]

Wow bad blood? Gonna be interesting with kd and lebron as good friends.

KD is no longer friends with LeBron. That shit ended last year

[TheMarkMadsen]

Watch the video. He was very casual about it. No bad blood IMO

[SIRI1]

Those posts by the two of them came very close to each other.

Although Durant did say that, I still wonder if this isnt just a promo for a new Gatorade commercial.

[Haks]

As bad as Wade was in the playoffs this year I would not take Harden of hiim. Maybe next year but this nope not yet. My top 10 is as follows heading into next season and based of lasts season performance
1.james
2.durant
3.CP3
4.Kobe
5.Westbrook
6.Duncan
7.Parker
8.Wade
9.Dwight
10.Harden

Does anyone like this sort of behavior? Dwayne cares more about attention than anything. Guy is a bitch. A diva.

You need Kevin Durant's words to get motivated? What happened to being self-motivated? It's ok to make a personal note to yourself, but why feel the need to share it with everyone on the internet, like an attention seeking ******.

**** LeBron and Wade. Damn clowns. They're both ringless as far as I'm concerned. ****ing cheaters.

**** Durant too. And Harden, and also the writer of this article. Bunch of fairy ass ******s.

Epic response by Wade to the disrespect, amazing come back from Durant (show me, don't tweet me)

:oldlol:

Entertainment, pure and simple. The gatorade rivalry has come to fruition between these two.

Durant needs to worry first and foremost though about being clearly outplayed by Wade's teammate, LeBron. Who has had the advantage over KD, and shut him down this past Christmas. And took a steaming dump on OKC, Durant included on Valentines Day.

Rivalry, re-newed.

Kindof agree with his response aswell "Show me, dont tweet me"... has nothing to do with disrespect or disrespecting Wade's place in history (wtf?) like Wade said... James Harden has simply been playing better lately...

Harden played better than Wade last season? Did you even watch them play?


Also, didn't you say that you were glad that the Heat lost in '11, because Lebron wasn't going to win the FMVP? You need to be banned from watching basketball.

[All Net]

ESPN will be all over it in their pregame show. They eat this stuff up

Wade and Durant will be sure to downplay it.

[Chrono90]

KD is smart. If the Heats do exactly what they did last year, they're favorites to win again. If Wade tries to do too much, it might make them a different team. The Heats are great with Lebron being himself and Wade playin second fiddle like last season.

[bdreason]

I saw an interview with Durant on Sportsnation... and it almost put me to sleep. He tries way too hard to be politically correct and 'humble'.

[bdreason]

Don't forget that Wade was playing on a knee which required surgery and still put up 23/6/5.


Injury excuses don't work when you're injured every year.

[wally_world]

If Wade's knees even hold up till the finals :lol

[TheBigVeto]

Wade is emo. Nobody respects a tainted finals MVP with a nickname D'Whistle.

[aj1987]

Injury excuses don't work when you're injured every year.
I'm sure that you'd be just fine, playing on a knee that requires surgery to fix.

Lets not act like we haven't seen what a healthy Wade does in the playoffs.

[OmniStrife]

Harden was more consistent offensively AND he was the 1st option on his team.
While Wade was up and down all year playing behind Bron.

I wouldn't take Harden over Wade yet though... Because of the defensive end.

[BoutPractice]

The interviewer just asked him who was missing from the top 10. He said Harden, who is considered top 10 by many and is also his former teammate. He then asked who he should replace. Durant said Wade, based on the rational expectation that he is on the decline (it doesn't mean it'll necessarily be the case, but it's a realistic assumption). I don't see how you could criticize Durant for what he said... I suppose he could've evaded the last question, but the interviewer clearly set up a climate where politically correct answers were to be avoided ("aside from the usual 'everything' answer", etc.).

[TheReturn]

A healthy Wade is still a monster. How easily people forget..

[#number6ix#]

Tony paker #4??? I like this war of words as long as wade doesn't try to do too much and throw the team chemistry off

[Nash]

If Wade was #1 option in a team without Lebron he would look more impressive than Harden.

[AirFederer]

This. I think he is wrong though. I think Wade will be good.

And am I the only one who thinks KD looks like he`s hained a few pounds? Is it because of off season or something he has tried to do, maybe for posting up more? Any ideas?

[JellyBean]

I love KD's comments back at DWade. This is going to be fun.

[j3lademaster]

The goal of defense is to take away possessions. How do you take possessions away from Lebron? Goad Wade into trying to be the man.:oldlol:

[SilkkTheShocker]

Durant has always been a passive-aggressive little bitch.

[SilkkTheShocker]

If Wade's knees even hold up till the finals :lol

They were beat up in the Finals and OKC still lost.

[derb2k2]

Keven Durant is going to wish Wade was never born. Never give Wade bulletin material.

[Dragonyeuw]

Wade will be at 2011 level this year, health-permitting. The biggest issue he seems to have addressed is his weight; he's been too bulky for a few years now. Weight loss will take the pressure off his knees, and help him regain some quickness. He won't be 2009 Wade, but he should return to elite status this year. I hope he's also working on his jumpshot, because his midrange has completely fallen off the radar. He seems more interested in trying to pumpfake his defender into a shot, than actually making the shot.

[Frozen1]

LOL Durant is a little b.itch, got exposed in the playoffs when the refs stopped calling every bullshit on him.

This guy is completely manufactured, media trying to prop him because from 2010 2 of the top 3 players joined the same team and the other was starting to hit the end of his career.

Media and NBA is desperate for another superstar, so they start calling every blow on his neck. Durant - FT = Durant vs Memphis.

And harden another manufactured guy, led the league in FT attempts.

Talking 'bout the guy who averaged 12 PPG on 37% in the nba finals.

But for real, this Feud between them seems to be manufactured.

[SpurrDurr]

People always complaing about how in today's NBA everyone tries to be too nice but when a star for once smacktalks antoher star, he gets a shitload of insults?

I personally loved it, my only worry is that i fear it's just another marketing stunt.

[chazzy]

I'm sure that you'd be just fine, playing on a knee that requires surgery to fix.

Lets not act like we haven't seen what a healthy Wade does in the playoffs.
He had his surgery last offseason and people were saying all this same stuff about 09 Wade being back etc.. then he looked even worse when even more knee issues flared up. Adding a "if healthy" disclaimer whenever discussing Wade bring up the question of what that even means. We haven't seen him consistently healthy for 2 years.

[iDunk]

Meh, if Wade puts up 20/5/5 still I'll be shocked.

[KG215]

LOL Durant is a little b.itch, got exposed in the playoffs when the refs stopped calling every bullshit on him.
He got so exposed, he managed to only average 32-10-6 on 46% FG and 58% TS. And he had a 7-game stretch without Russ in the playoffs where he averaged 34-11-6 on 51% FG and 62% TS. It's scary to think of the kind of numbers he would've put up if he wasn't getting exposed so badly.

[jlip]

Mike and Mike spoke of this on ESPN 2 this morning. For what it's worth, they are both convinced that this is whole "feud" is a scripted Gatorade marketing ploy.

[LBJMVP]

wade is a bitch and not in the top 10....

why would durants comments make you respect him less. he just said his opinion?

[jzek]

He can have all the motivation in the world that he wants but if his knees are done, his brain can't do anything about it to "heal" it.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Keven Durant is going to wish Wade was never born. Never give Wade bulletin material.

This is a lame response. Players shouldn't need bulletin board material to play their best. Durant is a bitch, but Wade isn't coming back to play like it's 09 or even 11 again. Still, he should be better than last season with the weight loss.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Wade will be at 2011 level this year, health-permitting. The biggest issue he seems to have addressed is his weight; he's been too bulky for a few years now. Weight loss will take the pressure off his knees, and help him regain some quickness. He won't be 2009 Wade, but he should return to elite status this year. I hope he's also working on his jumpshot, because his midrange has completely fallen off the radar. He seems more interested in trying to pumpfake his defender into a shot, than actually making the shot.

Again, he will be improved this season imo just with the weight loss. But some of you need to give up the idea of Wade going back to 2011. It's over with. His body doesn't have what it takes to put up those kind of numbers in the regular and postseason. Not hating, but it is what is. He is still a top player, and they he stepped up when they needed him to in the Finals. But 2009, 2011, etc. It's over with.

[Nuff Said]

This is a lame response. Players shouldn't need bulletin board material to play their best. Durant is a bitch, but Wade isn't coming back to play like it's 09 or even 11 again. Still, he should be better than last season with the weight loss.

Nggas acting like wade been sitting on his ass until he saw kd's comment. Like he lost the weight in the short time span since he saw the comment. Like he hasn't been working with a training coach this whole time. It's just a note wade put up. He was already motivated even before this. Wade will be second best in the league this season behind James.

[Dengness9]

1. Wade is a *****

2. James Harden is clearly better than Wade now. Riley wishes he had Harden instead of D-HghCheeks.

[Dengness9]

C'mon Wade fanboys, all this best player behind Lebron or 2011 form... let it go. Lebron took over the Heat and Dwade is not even a top 10 player anymore and wouldn't be anything unless he had LbGay/BrazzersManCum Bosh

[PJR]

James Harden literally has no in between game whatsoever. He's pull up threes and screen n roll. Only a moron would suggest he is clearly better than Wade.

When the Heat shut down his screen and roll penetration in the 2012 Finals, he was useless. He had no idea had to attack a trapping style defense. Had no clue what to do. :oldlol:

Dude, I already said he will be improved this season alone with just the weight loss. And just yesterday made a thread how much better the Heat will be with a healthy Wade. But im not buying him ever going back to his 2011 level. His body just can't take it anymore. The grind of 82 games and playoffs is too much for his body. And no offense, but this is like the 3rd offseason now we have heard this same thing. Being the 2nd best player again? It's a pipe dream. His shooting keeps regressing and his knees are always going to be beat up.

[Haymaker]

In b4 Wade injures his knees and fails miserably.

[PJR]

Wade isn't going to produce like "2011 Wade" only by virtue of the fact that he isn't in position to post those high volume numbers, due to the changing of his role.

Wade HAS scaled back his game, and sacrificed numbers to accommodate LeBron, who has a ball dominant style of play. Why dudes continually lose sight of that fact, I have no clue.

[Haymaker]

Durant playing mind games to disrupt the Heat chemistry. :pimp:

Does have that feel to it

[aj1987]

Wow! So many mad bitches in this thread. Weren't people predicting that Wade would average 16-18/4/4 last season?

4 for #3.

EDIT: The people saying that Harden is better than Wade, I'm pretty sure that you guys haven't watched a single game in your lives.

[DMAVS41]

Adding a "if healthy" disclaimer whenever discussing Wade bring up the question of what that even means. We haven't seen him consistently healthy for 2 years.

I don't see what you are talking about...I think it's pretty clear what Wade is like when he's not injured since 2011.

He's roughly a 22/5/5 player on 55 to 56 percent TS.

I'm not sure why people can't understand the difference between being banged up...and injured.

Wade was clearly "injured" for the majority of the playoffs in 13..

Outside of that since handing more of the team over to Lebron after 11...Wade has been a very good to great player on both ends overall.

People acting like the 13 playoffs was the norm are just lost.

Again...not sure why this is so hard.

[GrapeApe]

Wade's days as a superstar is o-v-e-r. No amount of weightloss and HGH is going to reverse that.

People have been saying that for 3 years. If he has yet another strong season they'll say it again next year. It's comical at this point. Eventually they'll be right though and it will be hillarious when they break out the "I told you so".

[DMAVS41]

It depends on how define superstar. If 22/5/5 on solid efficiency and quality defense is not a superstar...then I agree that Wade won't be a superstar ever again.

But Wade is still better than Harden when he's not injured...

[Real Men Wear Green]

I guess this marketing ploy of theirs is working, it's getting a lot of attention.

[7_cody]

It's not like Wade utilitizes an MJ or Kobe pull-up midrange shot for the in between game, either. Wade's in between game is mostly floaters, running banks, and the like. While a very good player, Wade also suffers in this area.

[7_cody]

Wade isn't going to be like that again in his current role alongside LeBron James. Feature him in an offense that Wade can excel in again, however, and a healthy Wade will put those numbers up

[zoom17]

Not going to work buddy:no:

[DMAVS41]

Dude.

Wade just got done putting those numbers up in an offense that featured Lebron the last two years.

Again...what are you talking about?

I must keep asking...did you start watching the NBA in the playoffs this year? It's like you think all of 12 and 13 didn't happen before Wade was injured in the playoffs.

The notion that Wade can't average 22/5/5 next to Lebron when he's not injured....just floors me. We just ****ing watched him do it.

[zoom17]

All I know is all harden does is drive to the hoop out of control and hoping the refs give him two free throws. He has no offensive game at all.

[Frozen1]

He got so exposed, he managed to only average 32-10-6 on 46% FG and 58% TS. And he had a 7-game stretch without Russ in the playoffs where he averaged 34-11-6 on 51% FG and 62% TS. It's scary to think of the kind of numbers he would've put up if he wasn't getting exposed so badly.

Isn

[no pun intended]

Blatantly a marketing ploy by Gatorade, as someone aforementioned.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Wade with that limited game.

Drive to the bucket, get foul calls, weak knees don't allow for that.

I'll thoroughly enjoy watching Wade decline

[branslowski]

Keven Durant is going to wish Wade was never born. Never give Wade bulletin material.

So?...wat Wade gonna do?....LeBron got the ball son, Wade gotta beg to get it, and when he does, he gonna flop and grab his knees.

Wade must be about to reup on dat HGH...

Wade is the GOAT "yall must've forgot" player. When will people realize not to doubt him? :pimp:

They said he was done after his 2007 injuries. Look what happened.

They said he was garbage after game 3 vs the Pacers. Look what happened.

They said he was garbage before game 4 vs the Spurs. Look what happened.

etc...

:pimp:

[305Baller]

I love it. Durant vs Wade. It's on.

[Rasheed1]

"Show me dont tweet me"???

KD must not have seen game 4 of the NBA finals this past spring..

WHile KD and James Harden was sitting at home, Wade was getting 6 steals and blowing up the Spurs..

[ihoopallday]

Skip Bayless made some great points this morning (shocking). Why didn't Durant "show me" last year in the playoffs. We already know Wade can be the man. 06 finals for example. Yeah Wade may not be top 10 right now, but Durant should get some hardware before calling Wade out.

There are 30 players in the league who could have won in the position Wade was in. They were fully healthy, had the best player in the world, and the deepest team in the NBA.

The **** does it prove? Wade is inconsistent as they come, injury prone, etc.... Him riding LeBrons dick to a couple more rings doesn't correlate to him being a top 10 player. Even though he is... Durant is just a dumbass in general.

Long story short.. they're both idiots.

I don't even know why I'm choosing to argue this with you. You've never made a logical, rational point in your Durant hating from what I've seen, and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. He had two just absolute, "holy shit that was bad" type games, one or two "meh" games in terms of just FG%, and the rest were good to great. He still averaged 32-10-6 on 46% and 58% TS without Westbrook.

Not to mention you picked out his absolute two worst games, because when you start looking at the others, and look at his total statline you realize he was still pretty damn good. And the eye test backs that up. I know it's hard for a Carmelo fan to accept, but even when Durant lost his sidekick, he still put up playoff numbers Carmelo can only dream about. Hell, he even averaged 32-12-7 on 50% shooting in the first three games against the Grizzlies, so he didn't just inflate his numbers against the Rockets defense.


You'll find this tactic very common...I've heard it for years about Dirk.

Basically it goes something like this;

Yea...he played great overall and put up great numbers...but it doesn't matter because his team lost.

Which, in some cases, can be true...but we all know that it takes teams...no matter how good one player is.

You see this line of thinking often from Kobe fans. Why? Because they literally don't know what it's like to be a fan of a player or team that plays well and loses.

They got a small does of it in 06 and 07 at least...but that wasn't enough to bring them back to reality.

[Kurosawa0]

Here's the thing, Wade at his best was definitely better than Harden and arguably better than Durant. He's got three rings to their zero. I can understand saying James Harden should be in the top 10, but to single out Wade like that was a weak move.

[kennethgriffin]

wades motivation should be to continue shoveling sh*t for lebron james as his bottom b*tch


sold his career away for some sidekick rings

who chooses to do that? thats something a superstar should strive against as his career progresses

[joeysms55]

Wade doesn't have to show sh!t he has FMVP, 3 rings. Durant has a lot to show. wow what a tweet. Stat padding makes u a lot better player now? WOW

[jrong]

Call it a hunch, but this is the year a lot of people eat their words. And after next year, when LeBron goes away forever, the question won't be if Wade is still better than Harden. The question will be if Wade is still better than Durant.

no more super friends this and super friends that

cant wait to see what goes down this season

[Doranku]

I can't wait until Wade is struggling again next year in the playoffs so everyone can talk about how "injured" he is.

Face the facts, people. He's declining, and fast. We all knew this would happen with the way he played when he was younger. Combine that with the fact that he plays in the LeBron James offense which suppresses virtually every other player's numbers and you'll see the reason why Wade averaged 16 points on 46% from the field in the 2013 playoffs.

Anyone writing him off is an idiot. This dude is the best player in the league, and he'll prove that when the playoffs start. Props to him for getting the recuperation that he needs. No need to risk further injury when you have LeBron James and Chris Bosh on your team.

A 100% Wade is the best player in the NBA. Been saying that since '09, and nothing has changed since then.

Things change, homie. That was 2 years ago, amazing how much LeBron and his age have negatively affected his play since then.

[Hoopz2332]

Wade isn't going to be like that again in his current role alongside LeBron James. Feature him in an offense that Wade can excel in again, however, and a healthy Wade will put those numbers up


Actually Wade has plenty of chances to produce. Many people are exaggerating his decline and his declined role. Some quick stats


et's take a healthy season for comparison:

Average per game:

Wade with Shaq

2005-06: 38.8 MPG - 9.3 FG/18.8 FGA .495FG% - 27.2 PPG - Total of 2040 points

With Lebron

2010-11: 37.1 MPG - 9.1FG/18.2 FGA .500FG% - 25.5 PPG

Still the same amount of attemps.


Even in 2011-12 he had 17.1 APG - 33.2 MPG ,

in 12-13 he had 15.8 APG - 34.7 MPG.





Tell me where does he take less shots, besides the previous season? He's practically averaging 18 attemps per game for his whole career.


THis past 202-2013 season USG rates by Lebron and Wade

Wade - 27.0

Lebron - 28.2



A look at their FGA's

Lebon - 10.1-17.8

Wade - 8.2-15.8

http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/scoring-per-game/sort/avgPoints/year/2013/seasontype/2


..Lebron's usage and shots attempts aren't that much higher than Wade's. The perceptions of Wade's decline has more to do with wade inability to stay on the floor and being hobbld in the playoffs the last 2 seasons. other than that, his opportunities are still there to put up big numbers like he did in the 2011 season with bron.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

Poor Durant. He now insured that the Heat 3peat.

You want Wade to be laid back and lazy, worried about partying and his fashion sense.

You don't want a motivated Wade, trying to prove something.

RIP NBA

[Dragonyeuw]

Again, he will be improved this season imo just with the weight loss. But some of you need to give up the idea of Wade going back to 2011. It's over with. His body doesn't have what it takes to put up those kind of numbers in the regular and postseason. Not hating, but it is what is. He is still a top player, and they he stepped up when they needed him to in the Finals. But 2009, 2011, etc. It's over with.

He doesn't have to put up 2011 numbers, to be at or near 2011 in terms of level of play. I'm not talking about his numbers, he's not going to be a 25/5/5 guy again, nor does he need to be for the Heat to win. But he needs to be aggressive and not defer so much to Lebron, regain confidence in his midrange game, and above all stay healthy.

[jrong]

You dont ****ing post shit like this.. Durant disrespected your ass and clowned you and what do you do? you tweet some shit about it like you're buddies joking around. Wade supposed to go out and shit all over durant's face next time they play and get in his face for talking down to him. will he? I doubt it.. Id take bets when they play theyll be buddy buddy and wade will have an average game. The game got soft .

How does it feel knowing Durant, by 23 and 24 years old, is/was already better than your boy Carmelo ever was? Must be a tough pill to swallow since it was supposed to be a "LeBron vs. Carmelo" rivalry, but Durant kinda came in and stole Carmelo's thunder so quickly.

Ranking players should be what they did the previous season and I don't even think Durant has a clear explanation besides the fact of being a bit biased towards an ex-teammate/friend.

Harden (38.2 minutes/game)
25.9 / 5.8 / 4.9 on 43.8% with 3.8 turnovers

Wade (34.7 minutes/game)
21.2 / 5.1 / 5.0 on 52.1% with 2.8 turnovers

PER 36 MPG
Harden 24.4 / 5.5 / 4.6
Wade 22.0 / 5.3 / 5.2

It's somewhat close so I don't mind Durant saying that Harden belongs in the top 10 but specifying which player that needs to be out is straight up disrespectful. Since it's a close race between two players, I tend to look at what those players did the year before last year and I'll give the upper hand to Dwyane Wade. It'll be close again after this season.

like most people you're only factoring in offense in the comparison. Wade does a hell of a lot more on defense than Harden does and thats why Wade is a way clear cut more better player than Harden is.

English fail :lol

And no it's not clear cut at all. I'll take Harden. Almost half of Wade's shots were assisted last year, Harden was a better shot creator and shooter and was more efficient while being the main ball handler of his team. People talk about Lebron holding Wade back but he would've looked worse on his own IMO. Both players had holes in their games exposed in the playoffs (either lack of midrange or outside shooting). Wade is def a better defender but I don't think it makes up for Harden's offensive advantage, impact wise.

[HurricaneKid]

He should have said Kobe.

But as far as defense, Kobe and Harden had the two worst DEF RAPM of any players in the top 40 last year.

I dismissed defense because Wade had less of an offensive burden and could focus more on D. His effort is probably the same as Harden but his IQ is obviously higher. To me, just by looking at the offensive numbers, Wade is already better, but I'm just saying it's pretty close. Harden played more games though if that means anything much.

You mean better shot creator and more efficient as in 43% field goal percentage (50 eFG%) and 3.8 turnovers? Or how his assist percentage is lower than Wade's? Are we looking at abilities or the end results? Being a better shot creator and shooter doesn't make someone better than the other.

That said, imo, Wade is even still the better shot creator and distributor but he doesn't play that iso-role much anymore.

Dude, I already said he will be improved this season alone with just the weight loss. And just yesterday made a thread how much better the Heat will be with a healthy Wade. But im not buying him ever going back to his 2011 level. His body just can't take it anymore. The grind of 82 games and playoffs is too much for his body. And no offense, but this is like the 3rd offseason now we have heard this same thing. Being the 2nd best player again? It's a pipe dream. His shooting keeps regressing and his knees are always going to be beat up.
Seriously? Where do people keep getting this shit from?

What do you know about Wade's body this season. Answer: **** all. We'll just have to wait and see, but for you to say you KNOW a 31-year olds body can't handle a season is ****ing moronic.

Stupidest Gatorade marketing scheme and it couldn't be even more blatant and contrived. Why give a shit about this?

[MP.Trey]

Funniest thing is how this about CURRENT placement in the top 10 and Wade's still sitting here talking, or writing, about history. Quit living in the past. :oldlol:

[Real Men Wear Green]

Are we still arguing over Gatorade's ad campaign?

[PJR]

I don't see what's funny? 18-5-5 on 53% shooting. 2 steals a game. Very good defense all around. Posting 21 PER. Solid start to the season. :applause:

As his knee continues to get stronger, I another exceptional February/March stretch as he seems to do ever year.

[DuMa]

20pts 6rbs 10 assists so far.

Those numbers arent gonna make Durant respect Wade, he's already better all time than Wade is

Servant getting served

Wow...

[Spaulding]

I want a gif of wade faking out Durant in the first half. Acts like he's gonna pass to battier then makes a layup.

Wow...
Dude, we've got people here who believe that Durant is better than Wade, all time. He MIGHT get over him, but right now, Durant is top 50 at best.

I know that your'e a Wade and Shaq fan. I got into BB only because of Shaq (during the 3peat). Later became a Wade fan. People here don't know how good Wade was when he was healthy between '05 and '11.

This, His euro step on 2 defenders, and the dream shake on Westbrook.

I was like< Wow, Are we back in time to 2008 season or what? :wtf:

I do like Durant though, but that's over the top stupidity coming from that poster.

Isolated shock poster.

Most people here can't get over peak Wade, which is a good thing because he was a beast.

**** peak Wade. Before his shoulder and knee surgeries in '07 and '08, he was playing on an entirely different level. Injuries have robbed him of a top 10 GOAT career. Dude played 700 games and he's in the top 25 of 99% of proper basketball fans. Imagine if Wade was healthy in '12 and '13. Miami would've absolutely SHIT on the opposition.

Durant wasn't wrong though

[aj1987]

Durant wasn't wrong though
ESPN had M. Gasol, Irving, Howard, and Westbrook over Wade.

Wade was thirsty, he sent him for some Gatorade.

Wade is still a better overall basketball player than Harden. Just because Harden is jacking shots and taking naps on defense over in Houston, doesn't make him better than Wade at bball.

If you had to pick one of the two for a must win game, only a lunatic would pick Harden.

harden isnt even top 20
his stats are completely worthless because of intense ballhogging and zero defense

[SamuraiSWISH]

What's with the LA / Kobe fans constant moaning, and sniping of D. Wade? Is it insecurity? No fan base heckled him like Laker / Kobe stans. It's so odd, and obsessive. Durant's words had a point. But Wade is still clearly a better player.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I see Gatorade's ad campaign still has some life left. Smart marketing.

[gyu]
