Please f*cking explain why Wade would be this high.

Gah damn man....

Any other choice is a grave mistake.

Thank you!

I would take Zeke, Barry, Bill Walton, Pippen, etc. etc. over Wade any day. Is Dirk still not on the list? I'd take Dirk...I'd take Jason Kidd. Bob Cousy...Gail Goodrich...David Robinson...all over Wade.

Dirk is already on the list.

Switch Wade with anyone you listed and Miami doesn't have a ring in 2006. I am certain of that.

-Isiah Thomas and Bob Cousy just played on stacked teams.
-Rick Barry spent a lot of his time in the ABA
-Scottie Pippen?Lol not even a franchise player. Ditto for David Robinson. Both of those guys are more suited to being Number 2's.

Gail Goodrich? Yeah alright keep hating on the dude averaging 40 PPG to get his team and city a championship. None of them could have done what Wade did.

Wade should be #26, after Robinson and Pippen.

Zeke and Wade have pretty similar careers, in terms of objective assessment of their NBA resumes.

Same number of rings, same number of FMVPs, no MVPs. Spent most of their career as merely the second (or third, at times, for Zeke) best players at their positions.

That makes Wade's few dominant seasons all the more important. Zeke's 20/10 seasons are nearly impossible to duplicate, but do they overshadow Wade's 2006 post-season or 2009 season?

My answer is no, but that's just my opinion.

Absolutely. Zeke's the better player hands down. Not only did he go back to back titles, but he beat Jordan, Bird, Magic while they were still in the prime! He didn't have any superstar teammates either. The level of competition you face matters and he faced and beat the best.
