[GrapeApe]

Wade took Gilbert's soul in the 2005 playoffs and never gave it back. Shaq missed 2 of those games too. Wade pretty much owned Arenas throughout their careers.

Well said :applause:

He also said he's the hardest player he ever defended :applause:

[plowking]

I think at this point Wade really does have a case over West.

[Dragonyeuw]

Arenas said it? Oh well then, that settles it.

That said, yeah I think that's becoming the common train of thought.

12 and 3 closer than you think.

[Cold soul]

Wade ranks as high as 3rd but I put him 4th behind Jerry West, Kobe and Jordan.

[JohnnySic]

Is Havlicek a 2 or a 3? I think 3, but some say 2. In any case, he ranks higher all-time than Wade.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Actually, he's not.

Its Jordan, Kobe, and West. There's absolutely no way West ranks among the 11-15 range YET Wade outranks him as an accomplished SG. :oldlol:

[KnittingRyu]

Where do you rank magic, Kareem, and shaq?
All are top 10. I have Kareem in the #2-3 range. Magic and Shaq are relatively interchangeable, but I give Magic the nod. Magic is probably top 5, and Shaq probably just outside the top 5.

Well it seems to be becoming a common train of thought. West is the more 'historically significant' player( being the logo and all) but a better player? I never saw him play, so I can't say with a degree of confidence. Wade is the 3rd best I've seen in last 30 years though.

I known that when posting . Just one shot . If i prefer video to someone , that would entire game . I want to share his that shot . Probably greatest moment in nba finals history .

Should've quoted the whole thing: it is jokes:


THE HARDEST PLAYER ive ever had to guard #Flash... My defense couldnt cash what my mouth decided to write....I was asked a question before A game.."how will you stop #Flash??"(dont know why they call him flash!! Im the fastest player in this league BUT imma just back up becuz he cant shoot) im pretty sure he took that personal..I wasnt to worried about my out burst,do to the fact I was the #pg so I guarded #keyondooling5 and #damonjones.. #LHughes guarded #Dwade..dont know why coach #Jordan subbed hughes and left me to guard #FlashDwade but it wasnt a pretty site... #wade score 8 str8 buckets with #3and1's in 4 mins...to be honest I wasnt disappointed in my #defense.. I was really more disappointed #DWade didnt want to use his words....(I was taught when ur angry USE ur words,guess he was taught little diff...hahaha...the only thing more embarrassing then being scored on EVERY time a player touched the ball is being #MonkeyDunked on and your coach calls a time out while ur still laying on floor #NoDontDoThistoME #NoGetBack? All I was thinking (why he call a #fulltimeOut and not a 30sec they about to show that dunk atleast 6times and 2in slowmo....what made the play worst is after the time out I was #SUBBED #awwdontDoMeLikeThisEddie just when I was about to say(the fck u taking me out for) they replayed the dunk in the arena and I had a #flashback of that 20 points in 4 mins...all I could say next was (anybody got any water or Gatorade ??) That was the LAST time I said anything about a player lmaoooo I learned my lesson the hard way..30 games against wade and im pretty sure he never missed while I was guarding him hahahahaha FYI I think wade is a #ROBOT..hes had the same knee issues as me and at 34 hes still dunking like he did when he was #23 #WTF I cant even touch the damn #backboard lmao 3rd best 2guard EVER #jordan #kobe #Dwade...I was blessed to see them all as a player #ballislife #dwade

Give Arenas credit for the self deprecation. Most players, past or present, wouldn't have the balls or sense of humor to say something like that. I mentioned it earlier Bur Wade DID own him, and I'm sure the trash talk from Arenas played a big role.

In their 2005 playoffs match up Wade averaged 31/8/7 on 54% en route to a sweep. Shaq missed 2 of those games.

Wade torched the Wizards over the years. Outside of his Game 1 vs the Wizards that year Wade averaged 35/8/8 shooting 58% in Games 2-4. In '06 he averaged 31/6/6 shooting 52% against them. He had 2 40 point Games + a Game-Winner against them within a week of each other in the 09-10 season.

[KnittingRyu]

If their teammates were even better, then yes, their championships would be lessened. Similarly, if Magic were to have still won 5 championships with worse teammates, it would weight those championships for Magic even more and potentially bump him up in the rankings. You act like I'm saying LeBron's championships are worthless because of Wade, which is not what I'm saying. However, I do weight things like Hakeem's 94 championship higher than LeBron's rings due to him having to carry a team more to the ring.

Wade is so overrated. Dude had like five true 1st-tier superstar seasons and he's the third best SG ever? Get the hell out of here. That would be a guy by the name of Jerry West...a top twenty player of all-time. Wade is maybe top 25.

You didn't even see West play, faggo. Wade single handedly won a championship for his team in 2006. West is a career loser going 1/9 in the Finals. How can you lose that many and only win one time and be a better shooting guard. Also he played in a very weak ass era, based off videos.

we dont know the context of that though.. 2/6 is all good and fun, but it is the context that matters.. the team hopping/flopping/dared to shoot/etc among other things that make it matter.

you and I dont know context of West's count.. he was nicknamed mr. clutch, so I doubt it couldve been that bad.

[bizil]

Peak wise, I agree with Arenas. GOAT wise, I think West still has a slight edge over D Wade. Even though Wade has three rings, West has the edge in terms of solo accolades, career numbers, and longevity being great. Plus West revolutionized the SG spot flat out. Before him, u didn't see SG's combine great scoring ability AND great all around ability in that manner.

Plus his OVERALL scoring skillset (in terms of technique and fundamentals) was arguably the best of all time for the position. MJ and Kobe added the freakish athletic ability and 6'6 height to many of the things West did previously. But even in comparison to MJ and Kobe, West was a better pure shooter.

[JohnFreeman]

Who was Jerry West playing against every night?

Good luck in this era white man

Wade is in his 13th season and has career averages of 24/6/5/2/1 on 49% and a 25 PER. It is impossible to have those kind of career numbers unless you were a great player for many years. Very few guards in history have produced like that through 820+ games (and 150+ playoff games). I have no issue with anyone rating West higher, but Wade is by no means overrated.

You can't read or something? I'll type it again.

8-13 team league (or whatever it was, don't care enough to research)

stacked rosters

1-8

And the ONE ring he won he was the NBA equivalent of Peyton Manning in this past Superbowl. That's the context goofy troll I don't give one FACK bout not damn nickname boy.

If a modern player had that record he wouldn't be able to come out the house he would have to move overseas. He would get ROASTED for being a perrenial LOSER but we give this dude a pass cause he played when nikkas was still riding horse and buggies?

Get the FACK outta here

[Dresta]

Jacks3 is actually one of the dumbest bball fans on the face of the earth, i'm talking Dubeta and Pauk levels of stupid. Guy actually thinks Kobe>Duncan, and his love for Kobe is the reason he hates Wade. It's like when you love a woman, it tends to make you contemptuous of other women, as they never measure up to the ideal you've created in your mind of the woman you love. This is what Jacks3 is like with Kobe and any other SG who could possibly be compared favourably with him (they can never do anything right, they're always "overrated" and so on).

[red1]

Absolutely.

Never watched west so I won't bother ranking that far back.

Uh.. I don't know if you realize but a much smaller league, say a third the size means it's much much easier to get to the finals, and talent more concentrated on top teams.

but idk. . Did jerry west ever do anything like 2011 in his matches? Was he dared to shoot and disrespected ever? (honestly don't know)



As far as Wade goes it depends on value placed for longevity.. I'd take west for that plus his superior ability to space the floor for his teammates

Why do you keep bringing up lebron? I don't give a crap about no blasted lebron man.

Had a Peyton Manning esque performance for his one ring, all this guy did was take L's. Stop defending losers bro.

[Milbuck]

For real tho', why do Kobe fans keep screaming '5 ringz!!' while we never see Wade fans screaming '3 ringz!!'
People like to give Kobe full credit for his sidekick rings but not for Wade.
I mean, it might have something to do with him averaging 28/7/5 in the playoffs for his 2nd/3rd rings. Pretty reasonable to be screaming rangzz when you perform like a superstar to get them.
