    Default Wade believes that before injury he was coming for MJs spot.





    Whole interview but that discussion is around 12 minutes in.

    He does his best not to get into rankings but he eventually acknowledged it. 05-2011 Wade….I can see why he’d think that.

    He still wasn’t as good as Jordan, but he was as good as any other SG ever in his prime.

    You can't go as far as he went without being at least somewhat delusional, which he clearly is.

    The bigger question is if he properly repaired his meniscus in college rather than partially removing it, how much more explosion he could have maintained rather than managing pain, swelling his whole career.

    He really could have been in the goat conversation instead of just the top 30 or so.

    his teaming up with lebron spoiled it, made him change his game to something he was not


    he had the ability, 09 wade is the best player I've seen. No weaknesses besides a 3 point shot he didn't practice, and that season he hit at 32% I believe without looking. A reasonable rate for a shot he doesn't even want to shoot nor practice.

    He wasn't wrong for feeling that way, especially at that point in his career. Those knees changed his career trajectory more than sharing the ball did. I feel like prime Wade was capable of giving Mj everything he could handle and then some. We always think Kobe and the chess match he'd have played with Mike but with Dwade It would be a matchup with a fast guard who's in Jordan's orbit of athletic ability and you could even make an argument Wade was stronger than 1st 3peat Mike. Thats a dream matchup for sure.

    For sure, he’s also an Alpha Dog.

    Look at him completely emasculate LeBron during one of his disappearing acts.

    zero doubt


    he was unguardable. I was a huge fan of 09 wade. I think he was better than kobe and lebron that year.

    I was about to flame on him but his first 6-7 years were pretty much up there.

    Not MJ level but damn.

    That right there was part of them failing and then learning the path forward to win. A turning point in the heatles run for sure. After they figured that out they wrecked shop for the next 2-3 years.

    '09 was such a sick year for individual seasons. LeBron, Wade, & CP3 all had historic years while Kobe was still in his prime.
