[QUOTE=Smoke117]That's all well and good...nice feat...congrats Curry...Wade was still an overall better player. A knicks fan should have a healthy respect for 09 Wade...considering how much he brutalized your team that season.[/QUOTE]
Curry brutalized the entire league to the tune of 73 wins. Not only was his PER ridiculous, but all his other advanced stats were off the charts.
16 Curry is competing with Jordan, Wilt, and Lebron for top seasons. Wade is an entire tier below.

Here are some other names to add to that exclusive list with Lebron:
David Blatt, Jim Boylan, Bret Brielmaier, Jared Cunningham, Matthew Dellavedova, Larry Drew, Channing Frye, Phil Handy, Joe Harris, Kyrie Irving, Richard Jefferson, Dahntay Jones, James Jones, Sasha Kaun, Kevin Love, Tyronn Lue, Jordan McRae, Derek Millender, Timofey Mozgov, James Posey, Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith, Stephen Spiro, Tristan Thompson, Anderson Varejao, Delonte West, Mo Williams.
[SIZE="3"][I]Golden State's three best defenders: Draymond Green(team's best defender), Andrew Bogut(team's only rim protector), and Andre Iguodala(prior year's FMVP) were all out of commission due to injury or suspension under dubious circumstances.

[I]Cleveland dealt with more injuries than the Warriors in the Finals
Kevin Love concussion in Game 3
Kyrie foot injury Game 6
LeBron broken wrist in Game 7
[U]Therefore Cavs 3 best players dealt with major injuries, meanwhile only 1 of the Warriors 3 best players had any sort of injury.[/U] [/I]

Don't forget Steph Curry's heart problem.

How was his 3pt shooting in the Finals? I would take Wade's ability to get to the rim, post game, midrange, passing, and most importantly his massively higher IQ over Curry's 3pt shot jacking. Then there's the other side of the floor: Defense.

Dck We're not talking about the Finals. The thread is about regular season.
In any case, at least 16 Curry made the Finals. 09 Wade didn't.
16 Curry had a >12 OBPM. Next highest all time is not even 10. Curry's 16 season is better than anything Wade has ever done.
[QUOTE=Sarcastic]Dck We're not talking about the Finals. The thread is about regular season.[/quote]
Sure. 30/5/8/2/1 on 57% TS while being 3rd in DPOY (as a SG) >> Curry's '16 season. Literally the only thing '16 Curry has over '09 Wade is shooting.
[QUOTE=Sarcastic]In any case, at least 16 Curry made the Finals. 09 Wade didn't.[/quote]
COY, Runner up DPOY, 3 All-Stars, 1 All-NBA 2nd, 1 All-NBA 3rd, 1 All-Def First, reigning FMVP off the bench, etc.. With a team like that, Wade would've swept through the PO's.
[QUOTE=Sarcastic]16 Curry had a >12 OBPM. Next highest all time is not even 10. Curry's 16 season is better than anything Wade has ever done.[/QUOTE]
If you think losing in the Finals while having a 3-1 lead against a 57 win team, while you're on a 73 win team is better than anything Wade has ever done, then I think we're done here.
Curry is as one dimensional as they come. Replace Curry with '12 Wade and the Warriors beat the Cavs in 5 or 6.

I have no problem saying Curry's season was better but lmao at you using making the Finals as an argument, especially when you factor in Curry missed half the western playoffs. You swap rosters I don't know if Curry even makes the playoffs on the '09 Heat

They Absolutely DO NOT. Curry's not that much better that he's going to make that much of a difference offensively to offset the huge hit the team takes losing Wade's defense. It would also be harder to score for the simple fact that the heat roster is complete garbage...especially compared to the Warriors lineup. It's a lot easier to game plan for a player when you know everyone else is stiffs. Curry also doesn't have the ability to break down any defense with his dribble penetration like Wade does...it's easier to get the ball out of a shooters hands.

How about this...

[QUOTE]Chicago won the the first three games of the series and were on the brink of a sweep, before George Karl finally made a key adjustment, allowing Payton,
[QUOTE=Dray n Klay]Did you know that PER is adjusted so that the league average for that season is always set at 15.0?
So Wilt getting a 31.70 PER means he's only twice as good as the average unathletic white stiff in the 60's
LeBron getting a 31.67 PER means he's twice as good as a modern professional elite basketball player.
Now tell me, would you rather be twice as good as this guy:

Of course, the Court Jester couldn't score a point when he was defended by this athletic marvel...

And how about this 6-8 athletic marvel running away with a rpg title in the LeChoke era...

He also hung a 26-12 season just a couple of years ago, as well.
And how about this two-time MVP IN the LeShrinkage era...

How about LeTiny going one-on-one against a bench-player in the Finals...

This coming from a clown who backs the biggest cry-baby and wimp in the history of the NBA. The same Court Jester who QUIT on his teams MULTIPLE times. The same crybaby who had Draymond suspended for a tap to an area in which he could not have done ANY damage. The same wimp who was carried off the court with MENSTRUAL CRAMPS in another Finals.
The same LeChoke who had his ass saved TWICE in the Finals by TEAMMATES. In game seven of the 2016 Finals, LePuke went 0-4 in the last four minutes, and was saved by a defensive stop by Kevin Love of all people, and the clinching 3pt shot by Kyrie. In a game in which LeShrink went 9-24. My god...he was one Kyrie shot away from watching Drayond hoisting the FMVP trophy (and who was clearly the best player on the floor in that game seven.)
The same LeCoward who puked all over the floor in the decisive game six of the 2013 Finals. The same LeFlop that shot 11-26 from the floor in that game, which was bad enough...but in the last four minutes of regulation, went 0-4 with three turnovers. And was trembling like a coward facing a firing squad in the last few seconds...reluctantly taking a shot that missed so badly that an out-of-position Chris "Can't Do" Bosh was able to tap it out to Ray Allen who essentially saved the series with a 3pter. And even in OT, the shaking LeChoke could only go 1-3.
The same LeWimp who was chastised in front of millions by Wade for basically hiding in the 2011 Finals. The same LeTiny who couldn't make a shot when defended by the 5-10 JJ Barea,
The same LeFoldo who was completely shut down when defended one-on-one by a bench player (holding LeSpec to 25% shooting when taking him on), and in fact was so dominated by a role player that he basically handed him the FMVP.
The same LeClown who led his team to a sweeping loss in the '07 Finals with a .356 FG%, which included a clinching one point loss performance of 10-30 from the floor, and 2-6 from the line.
And speaking of LeFlop...just go to youtube and search Lebron and flopping. Literally hours of footage of the Jester flopping like a fish out of water. Just a pathetic coward.
