Everything this guy does on the court looks so damn fluid. His drives, his layups, his crossovers, even his dunks look so graceful.

George Gervin and Earl Monroe had really smooth games.

As far as all of that, ultimate player is:

Also a good choice:

Tracy Mcgrady
George Gervin
Jamaal Wilkes

Much more smoother than Wade ever was.

T-Mac? Gervin? Wilkes? :oldlol:

I'm assuming that you guys started watching after Wade's prime.

Nope, Wade is not the "smoothest" player ever.

This,

Doctor J, was the most graceful player I ever seen and he had an all around game.

I always thought Wade moves seemed somewhat robotic. The square jaw/general build didnt help.

Id say Gervin might be the smoothest ever. Wilkes was similar. Jumper fluid...layups. Just a really laid back looking player. Connie Hawkins too...though his footage is almost all when he was old.

Id go with Tmac.....I'm sure there's lesser known role players who are very fluid but we're mainly naming stars from what I can see....

Wade's always been more explosive, quick change of direction kind of guy. I don't consider that smooth. McGrady, Fadeaway MJ, Kobe, Gervin, G. Hill, and Penny ... those guys had what I consider more smooth offensive games.

Dunno how I forgot Penny and MJ...Especially MJ...definitely one of the smoothest players, from his dunks to his jumper.....

Yea. LeBron, and Wade were explosion guys. Not slow is smooth, smooth is fast kind of guys where their whole skill set seemed so easy, liquid, or stream lined that it looked like little effort was being put into it. Those other guys however. Melo too is pretty fluid. Durant even as well.

True Durant is pretty fluid...Opinions will very on Melo..He's fluid on his jumpers but when he drives to the basket, some may say he's awkward, tries to run through people, etc.....

edit - and Steph Curry is pretty damn smooth too, the way he dribbles and shoots...Same for his father, very fluid shooter.....

I think Joe Johnson, the retarded T-Mac, is a very smooth as well.

I could see that. His handle, and jumper is smooth.

Wade is really smooth with the euro-steps, windmill crossovers and side steps. That's the shit he's the best ever at.

His finishing around the rim is amazing, but he doesn't necessarily does it in the smoothest way.

His game is arguably one of the most entertaining though. Prime Wade was the most fun to watch.

1st thing you notice when watching Iceman play is that he made it look sooo easy. Also like he was out there dropping 30 points a night without even sweating it, like he was out there practicing in an empty gym.

Kobe, Durant and also Hakeem at times. MJ is so overrated in this aspect. He had the occasional nice looking layup or dunk but other then that his game was rough and ugly. Was no different than LeBald.

I'm referring to mostly the movements. To me, although Wade is explosive, his movements don't look erratic and wild.

practically slept his way too much when he lost 60 games in a season

Lebron. The sublime footwork. The economic movement. Beautiful to watch him get into the lane with grace and subtlety.

TMac.

I got an erection just watching him dribble up the court. Even when he was on the Spurs. Those 5 minutes he played was, by far, the most seductive minutes of the season.

It's true. Even as a washed up old man, he still looked smooth as **** out there.

Vince Carter is similar.

is one of the smoothest/seemless moves of all time

Gervin had the smoothest releases, his game could be kind of staccato on the dribble. Monroe could be fluid under duress and had crazy flow. Doc, would be slamming on centers without breaking his smooth form.
