Durant now or Wade in '09?

[Frozen1]

When Heat second best player was Michael Beasley, you can tell that Wade season was 100 times better.

For Wade, it was 2 options: score 30 and 8, or lose.

Thunder without Durant would be at least third seed on the West. And somethimes i think Westbrook outplays him.

Give me Wade. He was insane that season, and deserved better than the piece of trash roster he had. Not 100% sure but I think that was the season he had a real nice mid-range game too?

Easily Durant. In a heartbeat. Younger, better, faster, stronger, taller, and smarter.

Does no one remember that DWade had to put up 22 shots every game in order to get that 30ppg? 22 shots and a 37% usage rate? That's some carmelo anthony-level ball-stopping. He put up a worse offensive AND defensive rating than Durant, half the win shares of Durant, and of course, the dude can't buy a three-point shot, which might be the most important part of a scorer's game in the modern era.

And then the whole "defense" part of the game. DWade is easily one of the most overrated defenders, his only ability is to block shots and gamble on steals...whereas Durant is (quietly) a better shot-blocker and overall defender than Wade ever was, because he's a smarter defender than Wade. Case closed.

faster Durant isn't even faster than current Wade let alone peak Wade

Are you kidding me? I already knew you had no fathom of excellence, but I didn't know it was this bad. If Wade's 30 on 22 is excellent, how hard do you nut when you contemplate Durant is doing 28.4 on 18. Less than two fewer points with more than 4 fewer shots. If '09 Wade is "excellent," '13 KD is god-like.

And the most important part: That was Wade's peak.

KD is 24 and just getting started.

I honestly can't believe you're a non-heat fan and you've been blinded by the dwade parade. Were you actually watching the games back then or just smearing your fecal matter on this forum like all the chumps are nowadays about Melo's "great" 22-shot, 28-point season?

First it was the Kobetards, then Lebrontards, now Durantards.

I will ask you one question. Why the hell wade would shoot less if he was the only star on his team??? Even "chucking" 22 shots, he did it in 50% fg with 7.5 assits per game. Durant is very lucky to have a great team in his young age, so he just can pad his fg%, just like lebron. Oh, and he scores 28 on only 18 shots, but with 10 ft per game.

It's easily Wade. WTF

[shady6121]

Wade >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Durant

Durant is a scrub without the excessive number of free throws he gets every game.

Wade > Durant


And its not even close.

[LongLiveTheKing]

Dwyane Wade and it's not even remotely close.

i dont know guys.

I like Wade but dude didn't do all that well in the playoffs... vs the Hawks from all teams.

how about yall let the season and playoffs end first. Amare basically had a better season than Dirk did so does that mean 2011 Amare > 2011 Dirk?

not to mention that the Heat weren't even all dat good. maybe a 37 win team if they were playing in the West

Well how far do you expect them to go, that was the definition of a one-man team. Prime jordan wouldnt do shit with that team.
