All Wade does is ride LBJ now.
Shit, outside of those seasons where Wade was in MVP running, I have no idea why he was ever propped up like that. Joe would probably make Miami a better team than Wade at this point anyways.

yet you defend wade because of single season peak?
you know which guard had one of the best single season stats?
oscar robertson, 30.1 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 11.4 APG, 47.8% FG.
why aren't you elevating him to the top 5?
yet no one puts him in a top 5sg of all time.
EDIT: and by your argument. bill russell>>>horry>>>jordan. did i understand your argument correctly?

lol wut? How did anything I say lead to this statement?
As to the rest, I classify Robertson as a PG. And you should look up adjusting for pace.

Oscar was never classified as pg. you can't classify something that didn't exist back then.
the term PG iirc, started being used around the 80s, past oscar's time. He was simply a guard. the best description of his position is a combo guard/2-guard, like allen iverson.
and adjusted for pace is idiotic. it makes as much logic as per.
were in preseaon mode.

Well to his defensive the NBA hails him as a PG... He did play a lot of wing too tho..

I always thought Oscar was looked back on as the pioneer of the point forward role. He's without a doubt greater than Wade but I don't think he's a SG. He's the only one that people have named though that I consider better than wade though.

What a strange nickname for Ron Artest
Wouldn't 'Artest' be on his nickname jersey now?

KD is starting the season off right. Can I get any of you cunts some basketball? Our purgatory is almost over.
It's what Adam Blade's notes look like.
On a side note, nickname jerseys might be a good way of punishing Felton if his weight fluctuates again. Depending on what he weighs in at, he puts on a jersey that says 'Svelton' on it or one with 'Oliver Miller' across the back.
Lol thought the exact same thing as I'm scrolling down
Now that people can't shit on Bron they gotta resort to other forms of silly bullshit
loooooool
what about SWEETney?

Damn right, it's okay. The position is called SHOOTING guard, and Wade has never developed that portion of his game. Dude is a career 28.9% from behind the line. That's clown tier shooting. He's good at one thing, and that is driving to the rim. Now that he's lost his step there, he isn't even very good at that.
Do you honestly believe Wade is better than any of the following?
MJ
Kobe Bryant
Iceman Gervin
Jerry West
Clyde Drexler
AI
T-MAC
Hell, I think Reggie Miller, Joe Dumars, Ray Allen, and Pistol Pete were better.
Wade is Vince Carter tier, only Carter learned how to shoot threes.

Vince Carter was pretty awesome in his prime.
He wasn't clutch, sure, but he and Wade definitely share the bitchassness

I'm one of the biggest Wade Heat stans but he's a dumbfuck for not working on his outside shooting early on in his career
MJ and Kobe are ahead. Jerry West played in an era when, at the risk of sounding racist, a white guy could still be the best SG in the league. I don't think I need to explain the evolution of the game since then. Clyde spent most of his career being that guy who couldn't win shit. I used to like Clyde more than MJ, but even I'll admit that was just me being a salty-ass hater. Don't fall into that trap. AI? GTFO with that bullshit. If Wade took chucking to AI levels, he'd probably drop 40ppg. I mean, has AI ever shot a good percentage? T-Mac was my dude. His prime was impressive, and only injury robbed us of greatness. However, being a first round virgin on some of those rosters is LOLworthy. Even Clyde would consider TMac someone to steal on. That's telling.
I'm iffy on Iceman. He was awesome, but as old as I am, I'm not even old enough to have seen him play. However, unlike West, at least he played some in the modern era. Some of the names can move up or down, but Wade is certainly a Top5 all-time SG. I would expect a ridiculous post like this from dream, because he has unfettered hate for Wade, but even he thinks you've lost perspective. PEACE.

Maybe, but he's still averaged over 25pts 5 times and never shooting under 45%.
A career 25ppg at 49%. You can talk about what he's lacking but the numbers are still what they are.
Ok.
Now show the world you're not the second coming of Tracy McGrady you high-scoring but non-ring having, non-leadership having, used-to-be-soft-and-now-likes-to-get-techs-to-harden-his-image scrub.

Seriously though, am I missing something? In what ways are reggie/clyde/jerry/ai/etc better than wade. Am i missing some numbers? Or some accolades? Or rings? or?
His lack of stellar outside shooting apparently completely outweighs all the other elite things he does

Which is crazy seeing how neither AI nor Clyde are good shooters. Better than wade but not good in any sense. Woefully below average.
You're not missing anything. History and nostalgia tends to cloud people's judgements, especially when they just skim through basketball and don't really know what they're watching, hence the common view that MJ is "better than Lebron" lol
