Wade's Historical Rank Among SGs

[QUOTE=EnoughSaid]I'll share my full opinions tomorrow. But just wanted to say. I really hope D-Wade looks at himself in the mirror, realizing he's still an elite player, and goes to work on that jumper, goes to work on that post game, goes to work on some footwork issues. This dude is only 30 years old, and if he can improve in all of those assets of his game, this guy can still have a good 3-4 years of great play and possibly a Finals MVP or Two.[/QUOTE]
The only thing Wade isn't doing is shooting with volume...blame Ray Allen.

His jumper is at '09 levels right now so pretty much best of his career.

Lebron is the only one that hasn't changed his offensive role on the team, apart from going a bit more in the post

[QUOTE=KOBE143]Borderline top 10 at best.. Dude is overrated.. If not for the refs help, no one in their right mind will put this guy in the top 10.. Refs made him the player he was.. Even tho Wade is still in his prime, old ass Ray Allen is still better than him by far while playing 6th man and lesser minute.. People who put him in the top 5 or even near the top 5 are clearly trolling and should not be taken seriously..[/QUOTE]
You mad cause his 2006 finals performance is better than any of Kobe's finals???:pimp:

AI has no case over Wade, Wade is not only the much better player peak wise but also better resum

01 - Michael Jordan
02 - Kobe Bryant
03 - Jerry West
04 - Dwyane Wade
05 - George Gervin
06 - Allen Iverson
07 - Clyde Drexler
08 - Sam Jones

Honorable mention: Pete Maravich, Hal Greer, Bill Sharman, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Dennis Johnson, Earl Monroe, David Thompson, Joe Dumars, etc.

anyone who has him over west or iverson or tmac is a moran. not even close.

if he wins another ring he's number three in my book after kobe and MJ

Jerry West was a killer but the SG position since the 90s has been one of the hardest positions to excel at in the NBA. There have been many GOOD SGs, but not many superstar calibre ones.

there was a resurgence of the two guard position in the early 2000s (TMac, Kobe, VC, AI, Houston, Ray Allen etc) but the one thing they all lacked (save Kobe, and to a certain extent Ray) is longevity and sustained elite levels of performance.

If Wade can find a way to reinvent his game w/o the explosiveness he used to have and will continue to lose, he will definitely be no. 3

on a side note i think reggie should be in everyone's top 10. one of the most clutch players ive ever seen play in my lifetime

Category --- West --- Wade
Points --- 25192 --- 15340
Rebounds --- 5366 --- 3087
Assists --- 6238 --- 3777
All-Stars --- 14 --- 8
All-NBA 1st --- 10 --- 2
Championships --- 1 --- 2
Finals --- 9 --- 3

It's not (and never will be) close. West was better than Wade.

I'm taking nothing away from Wade - I have him 4th all-time at SG - but he's no Jerry West.

[QUOTE=Money 23]Wade has five legit seasons where he was a top five player in the league.
[/QUOTE]

Yep. Clearly top 3 in 2009/10/11, has a case for top3 in 2007 before the injury, top 5 in 2006. He was basically top ten as early as his second season, he made a huge leap from his rookie year.

Wade is better than T-Mac all time. People can really only make a case about peak with T-mac. I wish he stayed healthy

[QUOTE=kNicKz]Wade is better than T-Mac all time. People can really only make a case about peak with T-mac. I wish he stayed healthy[/QUOTE]

yep. T Mac career was Waltonesque

[QUOTE=La Frescobaldi]yep. T Mac career was Waltonesque[/QUOTE]

Only without the NBA championship successes or NCAA titles.

Otherwise, just like it.
