Plus, Wade about to school Lebron in the ECF.

[Legends66NBA7]

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Wade's real message to his younger self: "Don't trust LeBron."

[imdaman99]

Young Dwade... you will go thru UPS and DOWNS you're gonna lose your way and feel lost but i promise you you will find your way.. Basketball is going to take you places you've only imagine in your dreams, and beyond...On the court don't hold anything back, what you do now will set the plate for you and your families future. oh btw you will have a beautiful supportive family. They're gonna let you lead and when you fall they will be there to pick you up and wait for you to walk back to the front and lead again.. Go enjoy an amazing life young bull!!!
:applause:

[fiddy]

Delusional egocentric clown

[TrueBlue89]

No excuses this year. He's healthy, stacked team & according to ISH 3rd best SG of all time. Championship or bust.

[Mass Debator]

"young bull"

He's hinting to young Wade to leave for Chicago when he has the chance in 2010. :eek:

[Foster5k]

Young Dwade... you will meet a fraud you'll think he's your friend and feel like he loves you but i promise you he's not.. Basketball he is good at but only good and not greatest of all time as he thinks he is...On the court he will cry and vanish in the 4th quarter during the Finals... what you do then will determine the outcome of his legacy and not yours. oh btw Delonte West had sex with his mom. He's going to let you lead and blame you when he fails to win his rings.. Go enjoy your life and don't collude with the master of colluders...oh and his name will be LeBron James!!!

[feyki]

I hate him but he's on the same level as Jordan(yes young Jordan) at 2005-2011 . Wade is only player to do that at after millenium .

[Vaniiiia]

Who the **** does shit like this? I honestly used to really like Wade, as a player and a person. But this gay ass, reflecting to YOURSELF to the media is so lame.

First it was writing notes and posting them on instagram after KD RIGHTFULLY said he wasn't a top 10 player anymore.

And now this nonsense. Herp derp you gon go thru stuggles younger me!

Just embarrassing. :facepalm

No, 1000+ posts on a message board in less than 3 months is embarrassing.

I agree with that.

But why can't I call out other people for embarrassing behavior? I mean, you have 2,000 posts and I literally have no idea who you are. Pretty embarrassing to be a nobody.

I'm on here actively engaging with other hardcore bball fans. It's more embarrassing to have as many posts as you do and have nothing to show for. It's probably a reflection of who you are off here, plain and ordinary. Probably ugly too.

Damn dude....you've been completely ruined by James.

Your posts the last 24hrs have shown your true jealousy of him.

The guy is one of the corniest posters in this forum.

[GrapeApe]

I agree with that.

But why can't I call out other people for embarrassing behavior? I mean, you have 1,700 posts and I literally have no idea who you are, mainly because you're not a troll. Pretty embarrassing to actually have a life.

I'm on here actively trolling with other hardcore trolls. I agree that it's embarrassing to have as many posts as I have and have nothing to show for. It's probably a reflection of who I am off here, plain and ordinary. Small dick. Definitely ugly too.

Don't be so hard on yourself man, I was just joking around.

All that effort and noting to show for. Seems as if I was spot on with my response? You're projecting your inadequacies in life on me. Took you 9 minutes for a lame edit and a one liner.

Who are you?

And his attempted insult relates to you too. Thass a lot of posts.

I just wanna know why it took him 9 minutes?

It's because I got under his skin, and he desperately wanted to get back at me. Eventually he found out this message board shit isn't as easy as I make it look so he had to settle for a one liner..... 9 minutes later

His brain doesn't work good enough to play forum tennis with me, Tom. :violin:

Did what I say about Wade make YOU angry too? :oldlol:

If so then good. The truth is supposed to hurt. Wade turned into a bitch.

and nah i'm not too mad about it. the whole introspective "taking pics in the mirror" reminds me of emo teenagers 10 years ago and it's a bit cringeworthy...but wade has a lot of fans outside of the usual sports demographic now, so I wouldn't be surprised that trying to keep himself relevant with people who don't care much about basketball, or him now that bran's not on his team

You're the one getting rustled and defensive. I'm just joking around. You've posted about 10 x as many words in your replies than I have and apparently you even visited my profile. Who's under who's skin?

Bro come on... you know my sense of humor. (Or you should)

It's a funny bit to do that. Here you have a guy calling people out for having too many posts, yet meanwhile he's taking damn near 10 minutes to mount a rebuttal. It's almost my duty to create that moment for all the lurkers out there. Notice how almost every new comer since 2013 is always most influenced by me. And it's because of stuff like this.

Add to the fact that I have the charm, sports knowledge, and killer instinct when faced with a challenge... it's no wonder I'm often referred to as the GOAT around here.

I was Seth Rollins before he got popular. He's basically doing my gimmick.

If you can't find the humor in me bragging about message board credentials while simultaneously slaying kids, then you just don't get it.

But that future 2016 draft class is watching. And they know who's at the top, and they'll fight like a bunch of rats chasing cheese to get my attention. I'm the best at what I do.

If it takes you 10 mintes to make each post...

That's 1700 x 10 = 17,000 minutes spent posting.

:biggums:

Lol at stacked team. And he'll be 34 years old you're acting like he's in his prime or something.

[Thesmallmamba]

Lol at stacked team. And he'll be 34 years old you're acting like he's in his prime or something.

Yet he was 32 with Bron and you guys were acting like he was a superstar :oldlol:


Fact of the matter is he stopped being a superstar since he was 27

[DoctorP]

Aww. Wade.

Is this his final year? He seems sentimental.

[GrapeApe]

What are you even talking about? Calling me out for doing other things instead of responding immediately is some kind of an insult? Isn't that more in line with MY point?

As for joking about post counts, I have no issue with people who post a lot that are here for genuine basketball discussion. That's what this place is supposed to be for. It's unfortunate that 90% of the threads here end up being derailed by trolls.

[greatest-ever]

Yet he was 32 with Bron and you guys were acting like he was a superstar :oldlol:

Well no, this is just trolling. He was clearly a superstar in 2010 and 2011 when he was 28 and 29 years old. I dont think anyone was claiming him to be a superstar in 2013 or 2014.

[GrapeApe]

Yet he was 32 with Bron and you guys were acting like he was a superstar :oldlol:

First of all, there's a big difference between 32 and 34, especially for a guard. If you don't believe me just look throughout history. There's some outliers here and there, but for the most part guards experience a precipitous drop in play after the age of 32. I'm also guessing the one's who were outliers actually had cartilage in their knees.

The second part of that post deserves to be in the dumbest things ever said on ish thread, though pretty much all of your posts qualify so I won't bother.

Wade had a bigger drop between 29-31, than he did from 31-33

Do you disagree?

[GrapeApe]

Wade had a bigger drop between 29-31, than he did from 31-33

Do you disagree?

Wade's role changed at 30, but his play didn't drop until after his bone bruise injury late in 2013. He was 31, but injury / health related drop in play is different than natural decline, which is what I was referring to in my previous post.

At 29 Wade averaged 26/6/5/1.5/1.0 on 50% and a 25.6 PER. Clearly a superstar.

At 30 Wade became a second option so his raw totals dropped a bit, but he still averaged 22/5/5/1.7/1.3 on 50% and a 26.3 PER. He was the only second option IN HISTORY to have a top 3 PER in the league. Again, superstar.

At 31 in 2013, Wade averaged 21/5/5/1.9/0.8 on 52% and a 24.0 PER. Perhaps debatable as superstar, but he had the best second option PER in the league and was the most efficient guard in the league. Superstar if you ask me.

Since the 2013 regular season he has been an all-star caliber player but no longer a superstar.

BTW, thanks for asking a reasonable question instead of responding with a troll post.

So you agree or disagree?

[GrapeApe]

So you agree or disagree?

Disagree. As I explained above, Wade's biggest drop in play occured from age 31-32. That's when he transitioned from superstar to all star. In 2014 he was noticeably less explosive than the previous year.

The thing about the '13 season is, people fail to recognize his amazing play during the RS, due to the bone bruises (IIRC, he had 3) hindering his play in the PO's. Not only was he damn good on the offensive end, he was also clutch AF defensively. His defense had people raving about him. He won us a couple of games through his 4th quarter defense alone. He should've made an All-D team over either CP3 or Bradley. Porker making the All-NBA 2nd team over Wade was just wrong as well. Dude gets extremely overlooked. SMDH!

[JT123]

:oldlol: Bron was trolling the shit out of you guys! Do you really think Lebron, a guy who had played in 4 straight Finals at that point, was really that heartbroken over a regular season game?! :facepalm
The regular season has gotten boring for him, so he does stuff like this to keep himself entertained.

And how'd that work out? Despite being injured Wade stepped up big time and averaged 24/6/5/2/2 in games 4-7. Pop has even said that Wade's play was a huge catalyst for Miami winning the series. The Spurs thought he was down for the count and Wade came back and made them pay. If he was an afterthought before the series, he certainly wasn't after the series.

And LeBron averaged 32/11/7 between games 4-7


If Wade was so good, why couldnt he outplay LeBron ? :confusedshrug:

younger wade should have sent a message to older wade

[GrapeApe]

Really? :oldlol:

I never said Lebron wasn't also great. He was, and he deserved FMVP. It's pretty absurd to suggest that Wade failing to outplay peak Lebron is some kind of a slight against him. It took both of them playing at an extremely high level for the Heat to win 3 out of the last 4 in the series. That's what a superstar duo is supposed to do. Their backs were to the wall and they both elevated their play to beat a very good team.

[Foster5k]

Apparently, during the 2006 NBA playoffs, Wade did receive a message from his younger self...

Maybe. It would have been good advice, but the message more likely said:

"Attack the rim relentlessly and fearlessly. You are one of the best penetrators to ever set foot on a basketball court. You are too quick, explosive, and skilled for any team to keep you out of the paint".

[TheBigVeto]

Young Dwade, you will be gifted your first championship ring because the commish hates Germans. Stay cool, you will not retire without a championship ring! Keep on working on those flops, it would come in handy except in 2011. Stay away from the wheelchair, that's not a good look.

It's funny how the 2006 officiating and "rigging" nonsense has been thoroughly debunked time after time yet for some reason idiots still bring it up. I did laugh at the line about Stern hating Germans though.

He's going to let you lead and blame you when he fails to win his rings.. Go enjoy your life and don't collude with the master of colluders...oh and his name will be LeBron James!!!

pretty much this.

you know Dwade is still salty about 2011, he deserved that finals MVP.
