Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
[QUOTE=Haks]Every aspect?
Playmaking?!!! wade is also good 5 inches shorter and averages same amount of blocks and only averages 2.5 more rebound
And lmao he can outrun him:facepalm[/QUOTE]
true. I exaggerated. Dwade is definitely a better playmaker. No question there.
But he cannot and could never outrun KD. If you were an athlete, you would know how difficult it is to outrun someone that much taller than you.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
I think some people forgot how good 08-09 Wade was.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
[QUOTE=Salty]i'll give you an analogy that even you can digest: the difference between KD and Wade is the difference between me and you. I organize my points effectively and efficiently, and you just blindly throw up some scat hoping it will land, and when you don't get your way, you go for the cheap shots and low blows.
No one who actually has watched basketball outside of the '00s would call DWade's '09 season great, let alone better than KD's current year.[/QUOTE]
you were wrong about everything in your garbage post
[QUOTE=Salty]LOL bro! I'm sorry I struck a nerve, but you gotta open your eyes. You can restrict the question any way you want. KD is better now than Wade was in 09. KD is better now than Wade is now. KD will forever be a better basketball player, every day for the rest of eternity.
28.4 points on 40/50/90 is not just excellent but rather spectacular and unprecedented.
[B]KD took every aspect of DWade's game and improved on it.[/B] He can get shoot better. [B]He can get to the foul line better.[/B] [B]He can block better[/B]. [B]He can rebound better. [/B][B]He can play more positions.[/B] [B]He can outrun him.[/B] [B]He can hold his opponents to a lower PER.

If you weren't blinded by Dwade's balls rubbing against your fluttering eyelids, you might have noticed.[/QUOTE]
no
no. wade is a better slasher
no. wade is better at blocking shots
no. kd gets more total rebounds but dwade is a clutch rebounder and has 3.9 offensive rebounds per game compared to kd's 0.6 pergame
no. wade is faster
no. this is irrelevant since dwade is the better defender

or in the case of salty they never knew in the first place
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Wade 2009 easily. He was near LeBron's level and dominant at every phase of the game. Durant is too one-dimensional compared to Wade. Wade also had a fraction of the help Durant currently has.

i dont even like wade and I know you are trolling and Dude you are stupid being tall generally reduces speed not increase i am not even gonna argue other points because they are just too stupid.
If scoring was everything players like dantley gervin et. would be higher on all time list
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Wade easily. This isn't really a discussion.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Is this a serious question? Even Westbrook this season > Durant.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
That was Wade's BEST season, so yeah, Wade.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
2nd best player on that 09 Heat team was Haslem..so yeah, WADE for sure.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
[QUOTE=HomieWeMajor]Bron was nice that season but Wade was nicer imo[/QUOTE]
No he wasn't. Lebron had better stats, a better record, and actually won a playoff series that season. Lebron's was clearly superior in every aspect.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Wade was the best player that year. Durant is not.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
Wade, and it's not really close.
Re: Durant now or Wade in '09?
I'll take Wade. For some reason, I never had the feeling that Durant was unstoppable whenever he's playing my team. He doesn't quite have that fear factor. I tremble in fear when Kobe or Wade play against my team. Not Durant tho.
Durant's a better rebounder thanks to his length, and a better shooter, whether it's mid range, 3 point or Free throw. But that's about it, I feel like Vintage D-Wade was the better all around player.
