Dwyane Wade: "Jordan is the GOAT/Kobe Top 5"

[IllegalD]

@Coco9: Who's the GOAT?

Dwyane Wade: Michael Jordan. I watched him win 6 titles. My biggest takeaway is the first one they won in '91 Being a 9 year old kid, seeing the Chicago Bulls do that ... that gave me the vision to say 'Ok, that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.' That's the feeling I want to bring to this city and my family


@BronGOAT23: Who's your top 5 NBA players of all time?

My list has definitely changed. Thats hard to pick man. MJ is my fave of all time. Lebron is right there. Kobe Bryant. Allen Iverson. If i had to pick one more it would be shaq

[SouBeachTalents]

Allen Iverson
:yaohappy: Hopefully he's just talking about his favorite players

[IllegalD]

Predictably insecure Bronsexuals will zero in on the Iverson being in his Top 5 as to try to discredit Wade picking MJ as the GOAT over LeBron.

But these are the same homosexuals that would hold previous quotes from Wade praising LeBron as the gospel.

[Axe]

Jordan used to be a role model for many players who played later than him in the league.

LOL he said LeBron is right there. None of us are gonna be mad at Wade saying LeBron is top 2.




Meltdown.

Good to see you are lowering your expectations and accepting the reality about LeBron. :D

Your triggered little response says otherwise, though.... :roll:

Damn, the reality is he's top 2 all time?

How will I ever cope with that? :oldlol:

[Axe]

Lebron is selfless goat

[Soundwave]

Jordan is the universal GOAT from the players, general public, media, etc. etc. etc. The 6 people on this board with 50 alts who think otherwise need to understand you can't deny reality forever.

[IllegalD]

Damn, the reality is he's top 2 all time?

How will I ever cope with that? :oldlol:

Keep melting down, babyboy. :banana:

[RRR3]

Keep melting down, babyboy. :banana:
I don't think LeBron is GOAT. Why would I be mad about Wade AGREEING with me about who the top 2 players ever are? You're the one melting down.

[Mamba4Life]

OP got stuffed in a locker growing up

[DoctorP]

after 2006 i thought Wade was going to be a top 5 all time player. oh well.

[Indian guy]

That top 5 :oldlol:

This is why you simply cannot take athletes seriously. There is very little knowledge/intelligent thought put behind what they say. It's all based on 'feeling'.

[SpaceJam]

LOL he said LeBron is right there. None of us are gonna be mad at Wade saying LeBron is top 2.




Meltdown.

This, what a clown OP is :oldlol:

Also I think Wade misunderstood the question, I think it's just his fave players

[ShawkFactory]

Good to see you are lowering your expectations and accepting the reality about LeBron. :D

Your triggered little response says otherwise, though.... :roll:

You’re giddy about someone saying Lebron is the second best player of all time.

Think about that.

Not sure why you even brought Kobe into this..

[dbugz]

Even LeQuit homie is saying MJ is the GOAT

I'm really hoping that is partly a personal favourite list. MJ being his GOAT, Lebron and Shaq being former teammates, and just personal respect for Kobe and Iverson as competitors. Because the latter two aren't top 5 :oldlol: . I mean Kobe for me is bottom half of top 10 but anywhere between 8 and 11 is fair so not entirely that offensive someone bumping him into the top 5 for 'reasons'...
But Iverson?!!! Come on D.Wade. As I said, I'm hoping that's his favourite players, not his 'these are the 5 greatest ever' players.

[Rysio]

As usual iverson gets underrated on here. Bunch of stat geeks

Underrated how? Do you agree with D. Wade?

Top 5 baller for sure

[Phoenix]

Top 5 baller for sure

Top 5 player in the history of the NBA?

[Rysio]

Top 5 player in the history of the NBA?

Didn't have anywhere close to top 5 career but his ability could be top 5-10

[Phoenix]

Didn't have anywhere close to top 5 career but his ability could be top 5-10

I wouldn't go that far either but that's less outrageous than saying he's a top 5 player in general.

[LostCause]

That top 5 :oldlol:

But fans don’t base it off feeling?

Anyway, his Top 5 is clearly based off who he enjoys most. He even starts it off by saying MJ was his favorite

[Indian guy]

But fans don’t base it off feeling?

The average fan, sure, but the intelligent fan bases his opinion with a lot more info at his disposal than any athlete ever will. I see this kind of stupidity spewing out of players' mouths all the time.

Sounds like you're triggered.

You: "Ha! I'm not emotionally affected by a player's opinion on GOAT rankings."

Also you: *spends the entire time downplaying player's opinions and dismissing them as stupid*

TRIGGERED. :banana:

[sdot_thadon]

"Michael Jordan is my fave of all time. LeBron is right there. Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson. If I had to pick one more it would be Shaq."
I'm pretty sure that's his favorite players ever, he even said Mj is my fave.

Imagine the hard times a Lebron hater has been through when he celebrates someone saying Lebron is right there with Mj and in the top 5, over Kobe. The year 2010 would be suicidal reading this post.

That list says it all. This isn't an "all-time" list. It is a list of "my favorite players since I have been watching."

[hold this L]

Dude said Iverson

[LeCroix]

MJ is GOAT
LBJ is GOAT 2
KAJ is GOAT 3
Russell is GOAT 4
Kobe is GOAT 5

Bumping my prophetic prediction about how Bronsexual apologists would hypocritically try to deflect Wade's opinion. :cheers:

A lot of it is just politics as usual shout out jay z.

These guys support their friends and people they grew up playing against or idolizing.

it's very rare you hear the truth. Everybody has a motive.

you're right though... us "common fans" may have the best perspective because of that. We're seeing everything from a bird's eye view.

Most of these conversations are rooted in some kind of bias, its human nature. I find the Lebron/MJ/Kobe cults on this forum to almost be caricatures, fanboyism dialled to 11 with few exceptions. Even the sports personalities on ESPN and Fox are 'Lebron guys' or 'MJ guys' now, no objectivity there whatsover.

all i can ever entertain is the argument and not the source.

including iverson in your top 5 all time? Your argument is irrelevant.

[LukeWalton]

the disrespect to Kareem and Tim Duncan Donuts! :facepalm

[dbugz]

MJ is GOAT

LBJ is 11ish


fixed

[DoctorP]

I love Wade as a player but I dont really respect his thoughts on the game. his tweet today was pretty cringey

called Jordan "chosen", like that dude didnt work his ass off at an insane level

nobody chose jordan exccept Krauss. it was Magic's league

[GimmeThat]

so, Dad killers are GOAT, Mom Killers are Pigs, if you kill them both, you're an egg before the chicken

yeah, never thought of it like that. no wonder so many players suck at managerial roles

[RogueBorg]

3rd best SG ever, I'd take that.
