D-Wade’s peak is 28-30 a night in a slower paced, more defensive minded era while being an elite 2-way player being in the convo for MVP & DPOY. No other SG can say the same except MJ & Kobe. Harden was an elite offensive force & put up crazy numbers. But, Kobe even said it, his style of play of always having the ball to score or assist doesn’t win rings. His numbers would not be as good if he played more within the offense like MJ, Kobe, or D-Wade did. As for Pierce, not going to bother with that lol.
@@rafaelrango Yeah, but the sweet spot for the guard position, the dominant ones that can do damage on offense and defense, is 6'3 to 6'7, they are very hard to guard, and more than likely too big to handle outside of forwards and up, and can actually dunk as a primary form of scoring, a center wont even be dumb enough to just stand in the way of a player that size already airborne.
James Harden had a few years where he shot a lot of free throws and it helped his points-per-game average but he has never been the two-way player D Wade was. The same people who think James Harden is a better player than D-Wade probably feels that LeBroom Queen Lames is still the best player in the world because he can still score. One of the biggest misconceptions about Air Jordan before and after he won chips was he was just a scoring champion even when he was winning steal titles and his one DPOY award they were trying to ignore how great he was on the other end because the knew Bird and Magic wasn't bringing it like that on both ends but they were winning. My point is it's always easier to ignore the defensive side of the ball and act like all that exists is putting two or three point field goals up.
And then one remembers one of the saddest "what if" from the history of the NBA. D ROSE. If not for that near career ending injury, he very well could be above D Wade. Hell, he was on route to be a top 15 player. Maybe a top 10, but that's a list very hard to crack. Pierce was very good, but D Wade was miles better.
There should be a Sad what if story for Every NBA player that’s ever played against LeGoat James in the last 20 years. Because if they were lucky enough to have avoided facing The King’s 100% Flawlessly undefeated resume over his 20 year career, maybe they would’ve won at least a game. Lol
I love me some DRose. He was never better than DWade. Chicago love here. Pierce wasn't even the best player on his own team when Ray Allen and KG came.
Dallas Mavericks were up 2-0 and up 13 half way through the 4th Quarter. From that point on Wade Averaged nearly 40 pts for the rest of the series. As the Heat came back and won 4 straight games
Dwyane Wade is absolutely a better player than Paul Pierce ever was. That said, am I crazy for thinking that Paul Pierce's game may well have translated far better alongside LeBron and Bosh than Wade's did? Pierce was a far better outside shooter and could spread the floor a lot more efficiently than Dwyane Wade could and it's not like Pierce was a scrub by any stretch of the imagination. My point is I think Miami could well have won the same number of championships they did if they had Paul Pierce instead of Dwyane Wade, but that doesn't mean Pierce is a better player than Wade.
@Kuroganemk2 yes I think you're both correct. Wade was injured as he got older and Pierce could've been complimentary to a Bron/Boston addition than Wade, but either way it's hard to go wrong with that. But you also have to consider how big and slow the Heat would be with that trio lacking a top guard.
They probably could have won the same amount of games but they wouldn't have been as entertaining. D-Wade's athleticism along with the Queen was fun to watch I can't picture Paul Pierce pulling off some of those passes and alley-oop dunks he's just not that athletic.
Yeah Every team in the NBA desperately stacked over the last 20 years. But embarrassingly enough, they still couldn’t even beat LeGoat James by himself. That’s why the King is and will forever be 100% Flawlessly Defeated until he retires.🐐🐐

To me that is close. Harden's prime was over 30 points a few seasons, 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Those two are very close. Kobe Bryant is a little better than them, I believe, regarding shooting guards.
@@pierangelosaponaro2658 Harden could avg 40 points and it wouldn't be close.

@@verbalkint3447 when you have to argue semantics you have no real point to make. I think we can all agree that three Superstars join together to form a super-team the key word being joined.
In all the pre-Lebron years except for his rookie season (six of seven), Wade averaged 10 FTAs a game. You take all those BS fouls away and Wade isn't even sniffing 45 FG; nor is his team ringing in 06. People that try to argue who is better while not acknowledging league engineering are....
You arent wrong PEAK/PRIME (Must average 20PPG Must start) Dwyane Wade averaged 24.8 points, 6.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 720 games between the 2004-05 and 2014-15 seasons. Paul Pierce averaged 23.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 692 games between the 2000-01 and 2008-09 seasons.
No it isn’t and I like Pierce 0x 1st team All NBAs 0 Scoring Titles never was a top 5 player at his best Pierce was nice but he was nowhere near Wade’s level
I said it then and I"ll say it now: Lebron went to wade and Wade's team to win and it was still Wafe's team when bron was there. Imo 09 wade shits on lebron especially when considering how big wade is vs how big lebron is. Wade was more impressive and skilled then and had a better bag.
I'm going to say this, u can agree with it or not, if pierces big 3 gets together from 2004, pierce has atleast 3 rings and we're having a different discussion about him. Saying that, no, he is not better than wade
to be an all time great and just a nba superstar u have to have that type of self confidence pierce had thinking ur the best even over people who are way better
Pierce was a better player. Wade had a better career. Wade had better teammates in their primes and this led to more championships. It’s important to consider that, though both were great scorers, and though Wade was a better defender, Pierce was way more clutch. This is a skill that is invaluable in measuring a player’s worth.
Wade outscored Dirk in the 2011 Finals which everyone seems to forget. Wade was the best player in that series but it gets forgotten cause Lebron sabotaged the Heat.
Pierce is right about the fact that if he got Shaq or Lebron in their primes, he would have more than the 3 rings Wade has. When Pierce got Garnett and Allen, he was the youngest of the big 3, at 30 years old
What is going on with these clueless bad takes? When we had comparisons back when I was barely a teenager, we had players we thought was the great ones, but once people brought up titles and how those titles were won? You eventually realized that there was more than just liking a guy for him to be a great player, heck GOAT never even came up back 70's or 80's. The talk ONLY started during Jordan's SECOND THEE PEAT and he proved everybody right in calling him the Greatest. Edit: even back then there was reruns and highlight clips of those great moments in basketball.
Weird that for a few years Pierce has been Art Vandalaying a fictionnal version of himself better than D Wade. He's the the George Costanza of the NBA the level 9f delusion is crazy. "You know I've always pretended to be an architect". In his case HOFamer and champion is not enough. He wants to talk himself into all time great territory. But it doesn't work like that, when you're an all time great, people are singing your praise, not you.
lmao paul pierce was barely the third best player on a 1 ring team, honestly even a stretch to call his career HoF worthy, and now he suddenly he imagines himself better than an actual top5 shooting guard all time
Let's be clear about one thing. If you state that you, yourself, is better than a specific past legend, you're definitely off the conversation. That includes LeBron.
To be fair in that 2006 Finals it was a free throw parade similar to what harden would get in the regular season but not in the playoffs. But as a Harden fan D-Wade is better.
Say what you will about officiating but no one could stay in front of wade that series. That was the season kobe notoriously outscored dallas in 3 quarters. They couldnt defend fast guards
Dont contradict yourself, Wade played the bulk of his career post hand checking and zone rules removal in the early 2000s other than 1 year, this take of yours kinda encroaches on your argument the other day about how "terrible" current NBA is, Paul Pierce actually played through the late 90s and the entire early 00s, much harder than anything Wade played through to get all of his bloated stats, not to mention that bogus first championship he got.
Pierce is not delusional for thinking that he's better than Wade lol. Rather we agree with him or not Pierce was cold on the court lol. People forget what Pierce was working with in his prime before KG and Allen.
I understand the hate for Pierce cuz he talks a lot of shit, but you cannot shit on his hooping abilities. He was one of the most clutch players in the game his entire career.
I would have loved to see wade play his career without that bum knee in college. Taking out your meniscus vs what they do know would have had him without those nagging knee injuries
Wait.... i normally agree with you. But he did have a better career. Idk if he was necessarily better. Paul wouldn't have let the Heat lose to Dallas. Pierce was also a better perimeter scorer. Wade had a midrange post and slash game. Pierce had that plus the 3 ball and freethrow. He would have been a better fit and wouldn't need Lebron to be the best player to win the chip. Lebron could just do his thing.
This video starts off with quoting a bunch of jury-rigged stats. If Uncut Hoops doesn't understand that all-whatevers are NBA marketing at this point, then he's just low level like a ring counter.
The Paul pierce one is bad but the Harden one is way worse dude doesn’t even come close to DWade especially when dude plays no defense can’t be a top guy if you can’t play both sides of the court
shit in dirk’s mouth in 06 and then shit in dirk’s mouth again in 11 when lbj gift wrapped his second finals MVP to that german cafeteria lady. cry more and cope harder, casual. wade clears all your heroes.
Best Shooting Guards 1. Michael Jordan 2. Kobe Bryant 3. Dwayne wade 4. And 5 is a tie Reggie Miller Ray Allen I even like Klay Thompson more then Paul Pierce . Don't get me wrong The Truth can play.. but stay in your lane ...
Is this a hate on Dwyane Wade week? Why are people debating on his career lately and saying this_____ insert player is better than him this man has been trending for the past couple of days now
LOL WADE NO WHERE NEAR WEST....WEST IS NUMBER 3 SG OF ALL TIME AND TOP 15 PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY....BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SIR IN THE VIDEO YOU SAID WAS ON POINT!
Peice was nobody. Great player year after year but cannot get the job done. Needed KG and the big 3 to win. Wade was not bus driver for Miami and won the ring.
I grew up a Celtics fan I love Pierce but he was not better than Wade but they also play different positions and really should need to be compared to each other Pierce is a small forward he should be compared to other small forwards Wade was a shooting guard who should be compared to other shooting guards just like LeBron really should not be compared to Jordan he should be more compared to magic
I didn't like Paul Pierce cause he WOULD give it to the stars. (Pause) he would cook ALL his current competition. I seen it. I really didn't like him because this is who he was. He was a top 3 competitor of his era. Right up there with Kobe n LBJ.
Paul Pierce thinks little ke that cuz he was not so physically talented but he outsmart ppl, he thinks better than anyone and that's why he thinks he so great but actually he is overrate the intellect on the court, nothin better than skill set and physical strengh
@5:40 after Shaq wade did nothing until lebron came . People will try to tell you Shaq was washed but he finished 2nd in mvp the year before and in 06 averaged 20 & 10
Jeff Teague was right on that one James Harden at his peak was better than wade No knock on wade but I'm a big kobe fan and Harden was knocking at kobe and Jordan's door and those 2 are the top SG of all time
i give paul pierce a pass here because you have to understand he literally competed against dwayne wade and was in that era lol. what do you expect him to say? the humble approach i guess? idk. its not as if paul pierce played in the 80s and is talking about wades career in that sense, he literally played in the same era. he's not gonna say he isnt on that level or better. thats the mindset of a player, of a competitor. does it make what he says valid? no of course not but i understand why he's saying it. idk. i didnt see an issue with it. i have bigger issues with people who've never even played basketball saying some shit like that.
This conversation is closer than you would think. Anyone who thinks that Shaq wasn't better than Wade wasn't around at that time. DWade is a great number 2
I love Paul Pierce as a player and I think his play and career underrated but maaaaaan why you trippin like that ? No Way you're better than Wade man :D Other than Rebounds,Fundamentals, Post Up, 3pts goes to Paul (not by large margin at all btw). All others thing that you can think off about basketball and career accolades goes to Wade by far.
Wade from 2005 to 2010 was the best player in basketball..also the most fun to watch.. would dunk on everyone, steal the ball at will and block 7footers in regular basis.
wade was better than kobe from 06-12 when healthy. wade is so clearly the best player when he’s healthy that it makes me resent casuals who don’t see it. probably don’t want to see it.
D-Wade’s peak is 28-30 a night in a slower paced, more defensive minded era while being an elite 2-way player being in the convo for MVP & DPOY.

D Wade carried his team to success. he wasn't a big moment or playoff choker. being elite on both sides of the ball will always trump being a scorer wo depends life and limb on baiting fouls while being an absolute zero on defense, a ball hog and a turnover machine. Kobe is consideably better than them, he was a winning player.
@@_M.... I think Dwyane has some advantages. I am looking at them as players by themselves than team success. Dwyane Wade does have more accolades. I do feel that James Harden was very hard to stop. Dwyane Wade's defense and athleticism were above Harden's.
I just don't understand how he can say he had a better career when Wade had way more awards and accomplishments when you factor in MVP vote shares, stat titles, All-NBA teams, All-Defensive teams, All-Star appearances, and an All-Star MVP.
This month alone we've heard Kyrie, Harden, and Pierce being better. I wonder what it's about.
Gotta boost up lebron so gotta put down wade!!
@riotordiet9154 ah that makes sense
@@riotordiet9154wade did nothing outside of 2006 in 07 wade got bounced out the first round in 08 failed to make playoffs in 09 bounced our the first round in 2010 bounced out the first round wade was carried by prime Lebron and Houston Harden is better than wade yall hate Lebron
@@riotordiet9154 nah, why would they do that... Pierce himself hated LeBron so why would he do that and he obviously believe he is better than Wade so yeah... As for Kyrie, nah, nobody said he is better than Wade... Only Jeff Teague was the one who said Harden is better and why would he say that, he alsp hated LeBron as he always swept him and his Hawks in the playoffs as well and got 3peat swept by him in Atlanta twice and with the Pacers
@@darnellwilliams8783 Isn't 08 the year Wade missed the season with an injury... I recon there was a season that he missed almost the entirety of the season due to injury and that was in 08 and you still blamed him for that one
I don’t think Paul Pierce is considering the sacrifices D Wade had to make to make the superteam work
If does join that super team he has to carry the lode by himself and it's going to wear on his body he was already injury-prone joining a super-team lengthened his career.
Really 🤦🏾♂️
@@TheRealMRGG85 He didn’t join a superteam. They joined HIM in Miami. He went from being the number 1 to being relegated to a sidekick
@@verbalkint3447 when you have to argue semantics you have no real point to make. I think we can all agree that three Superstars join together to form a super-team the key word being joined.
@@TheRealMRGG85 Odd. You can apply your statement to your own argument. 🤡
In all the pre-Lebron years except for his rookie season (six of seven), Wade averaged 10 FTAs a game. You take all those BS fouls away and Wade isn't even sniffing 45 FG; nor is his team ringing in 06. People that try to argue who is better while not acknowledging league engineering are....
Alot of people usually say they better when they retired🤣
Pierce and Wade are way closer than y'all think.
Not really. Paul was a better shooter on the consistent basis 😊
You arent wrong
PEAK/PRIME (Must average 20PPG Must start)
Dwyane Wade averaged 24.8 points, 6.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 720 games between the 2004-05 and 2014-15 seasons.
Paul Pierce averaged 23.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 692 games between the 2000-01 and 2008-09 seasons.
no
No it isn’t and I like Pierce 0x 1st team All NBAs 0 Scoring Titles never was a top 5 player at his best Pierce was nice but he was nowhere near Wade’s level
I said it then and I"ll say it now: Lebron went to wade and Wade's team to win and it was still Wafe's team when bron was there. Imo 09 wade shits on lebron especially when considering how big wade is vs how big lebron is. Wade was more impressive and skilled then and had a better bag.
Ik the weirdness with his SON shouldn't tint my view of his basketball skills buuuut it does.
I'm going to say this, u can agree with it or not, if pierces big 3 gets together from 2004, pierce has atleast 3 rings and we're having a different discussion about him.
Saying that, no, he is not better than wade
There was a time when Kobe Wade and LeBron were the 3 best perimeter players. I would even take prime TMac over Pierce.
to be an all time great and just a nba superstar u have to have that type of self confidence pierce had thinking ur the best even over people who are way better
D-Wade was better than LeBron some seasons.
What seasons was Wade better than LeBron?
@@jaydot4956maybe 09 and 06
just 2006 and maybe 2009
@@jasonmoukala8909agree.
@@jasonmoukala8909 Wade wasn’t better in either of those years.
You shouldn't defend someone who abuses their son by parading him around in a dress for profit
Pierce was a better player. Wade had a better career. Wade had better teammates in their primes and this led to more championships. It’s important to consider that, though both were great scorers, and though Wade was a better defender, Pierce was way more clutch. This is a skill that is invaluable in measuring a player’s worth.
Meanwhile, people say that Harden is better than Wade, unbelievable. 😂😂
Wade outscored Dirk in the 2011 Finals which everyone seems to forget. Wade was the best player in that series but it gets forgotten cause Lebron sabotaged the Heat.
facts.
This is very simple. Swap Wade for Pierce in 2006 and tell me Miami still have that championship.
Wade is now a Trans Icon, even helped turn his son into a daughter.
You talking about the it is what is is episode?😂
If wade did not wanted to be disrespected he should not have turned his son in to a girl. What a creep.
aaaaaaa
All-time he's not better than D Wade this is madness.😳
Paul Pierce & Harden we’re good but Dwayne Wade was better especially peak Wade when talking Defence & Clutch
They forget that 09-10 season
Paul Pierce is tripping big time.
mfs be putting harden over ai too 💀
Pierce is right about the fact that if he got Shaq or Lebron in their primes, he would have more than the 3 rings Wade has.
When Pierce got Garnett and Allen, he was the youngest of the big 3, at 30 years old
Shaq wasn’t in his prime
KG was still 3rd in mvp voting and DPOY and was the best player and best defensive player on the team in Boston
the only thing I hate about Wade is he scored 9 on one of Aaron Gordon's dunk
What is going on with these clueless bad takes? When we had comparisons back when I was barely a teenager, we had players we thought was the great ones, but once people brought up titles and how those titles were won? You eventually realized that there was more than just liking a guy for him to be a great player, heck GOAT never even came up back 70's or 80's. The talk ONLY started during Jordan's SECOND THEE PEAT and he proved everybody right in calling him the Greatest.
Edit: even back then there was reruns and highlight clips of those great moments in basketball.
Weird that for a few years Pierce has been Art Vandalaying a fictionnal version of himself better than D Wade. He's the the George Costanza of the NBA the level 9f delusion is crazy. "You know I've always pretended to be an architect". In his case HOFamer and champion is not enough. He wants to talk himself into all time great territory. But it doesn't work like that, when you're an all time great, people are singing your praise, not you.
lmao paul pierce was barely the third best player on a 1 ring team, honestly even a stretch to call his career HoF worthy, and now he suddenly he imagines himself better than an actual top5 shooting guard all time
Let's be clear about one thing. If you state that you, yourself, is better than a specific past legend, you're definitely off the conversation.
That includes LeBron.
manny nba players hating on dwade for winning more
All of these players in this era are delusional!
To be fair in that 2006 Finals it was a free throw parade similar to what harden would get in the regular season but not in the playoffs. But as a Harden fan D-Wade is better.
Say what you will about officiating but no one could stay in front of wade that series. That was the season kobe notoriously outscored dallas in 3 quarters. They couldnt defend fast guards
Surprised you didn't include that video where Jalen Rose checks Paul Pierce live on-air about this exact thing, it was hilarious
3 rings vs 1 ring
Dont contradict yourself, Wade played the bulk of his career post hand checking and zone rules removal in the early 2000s other than 1 year, this take of yours kinda encroaches on your argument the other day about how "terrible" current NBA is, Paul Pierce actually played through the late 90s and the entire early 00s, much harder than anything Wade played through to get all of his bloated stats, not to mention that bogus first championship he got.
You sound like a young skip Bayless and that is a compliment
Pierce is not delusional for thinking that he's better than Wade lol. Rather we agree with him or not Pierce was cold on the court lol. People forget what Pierce was working with in his prime before KG and Allen.
I understand the hate for Pierce cuz he talks a lot of shit, but you cannot shit on his hooping abilities. He was one of the most clutch players in the game his entire career.
I would have loved to see wade play his career without that bum knee in college. Taking out your meniscus vs what they do know would have had him without those nagging knee injuries
Wait.... i normally agree with you. But he did have a better career. Idk if he was necessarily better. Paul wouldn't have let the Heat lose to Dallas. Pierce was also a better perimeter scorer. Wade had a midrange post and slash game. Pierce had that plus the 3 ball and freethrow. He would have been a better fit and wouldn't need Lebron to be the best player to win the chip. Lebron could just do his thing.
This video starts off with quoting a bunch of jury-rigged stats. If Uncut Hoops doesn't understand that all-whatevers are NBA marketing at this point, then he's just low level like a ring counter.
The Paul pierce one is bad but the Harden one is way worse dude doesn’t even come close to DWade especially when dude plays no defense can’t be a top guy if you can’t play both sides of the court
Ill take the truth. Idk what wade is exactly. But him and his wife give me the creeps.
Carried by refs in 06 and f'ed by dirk in 11 cough cough😂
shit in dirk’s mouth in 06 and then shit in dirk’s mouth again in 11 when lbj gift wrapped his second finals MVP to that german cafeteria lady. cry more and cope harder, casual. wade clears all your heroes.
D Wade first championship was given to him
Put D-Wade on the Houston and He ain't doing nothing, Harden was up on the Warriors in conference finals.Harden is better,has an MVP...Wade doesn't.
Stupid logic made by a casual just bc you win an MVP doesn’t make you a better player
Best Shooting Guards
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Dwayne wade
4. And 5 is a tie Reggie Miller Ray Allen
I even like Klay Thompson more then Paul Pierce .
Don't get me wrong The Truth can play.. but stay in your lane ...
I rather take Pierce. He does everything and beat Kobe in the Finals.
Ur Delusional

Send the link please? I too tought the Hoops vídeo was a bad take.
@charlesmartel6108 dude, just search Dflow duh...and I'm pretty sure they're the same person
Is this a hate on Dwyane Wade week? Why are people debating on his career lately and saying this_____ insert player is better than him this man has been trending for the past couple of days now
LOL WADE NO WHERE NEAR WEST....WEST IS NUMBER 3 SG OF ALL TIME AND TOP 15 PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY....BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SIR IN THE VIDEO YOU SAID WAS ON POINT!
West played more PG and I know he played both positions but he was mostly a PG
Oh no he wasn't. Step back and think again. Wade was consistently top 5 in the NBA year in and year out
Okay... PP need to calm down. JH > Wade though.
Peice was nobody. Great player year after year but cannot get the job done. Needed KG and the big 3 to win. Wade was not bus driver for Miami and won the ring.
Pierce ain’t top 25 all time 🤦♂️
I will remember D Wade becouse he sterilised his child to marry him to Bronny.
I grew up a Celtics fan I love Pierce but he was not better than Wade but they also play different positions and really should need to be compared to each other Pierce is a small forward he should be compared to other small forwards Wade was a shooting guard who should be compared to other shooting guards just like LeBron really should not be compared to Jordan he should be more compared to magic
Wade don’t have to go and tell everybody that he’s better than pierce but pierce still but hurt that wade is better than him
The truth is a lie 😂
I didn't like Paul Pierce cause he WOULD give it to the stars. (Pause) he would cook ALL his current competition. I seen it. I really didn't like him because this is who he was. He was a top 3 competitor of his era. Right up there with Kobe n LBJ.
Paul Pierce thinks little ke that cuz he was not so physically talented but he outsmart ppl, he thinks better than anyone and that's why he thinks he so great but actually he is overrate the intellect on the court, nothin better than skill set and physical strengh
@5:40 after Shaq wade did nothing until lebron came . People will try to tell you Shaq was washed but he finished 2nd in mvp the year before and in 06 averaged 20 & 10
They win 3 with PP but he wasn’t a better player just a better team fit
Jeff Teague was right on that one James Harden at his peak was better than wade
No knock on wade but I'm a big kobe fan and Harden was knocking at kobe and Jordan's door and those 2 are the top SG of all time
You wish troll
Let's be real Dat on Kobies level
He is no top 25 he is no
Yup
paul peirce stil the Truth doe
i give paul pierce a pass here because you have to understand he literally competed against dwayne wade and was in that era lol. what do you expect him to say? the humble approach i guess? idk. its not as if paul pierce played in the 80s and is talking about wades career in that sense, he literally played in the same era. he's not gonna say he isnt on that level or better. thats the mindset of a player, of a competitor. does it make what he says valid? no of course not but i understand why he's saying it. idk. i didnt see an issue with it. i have bigger issues with people who've never even played basketball saying some shit like that.
Uncuthoops an old head and Dflow hoops a modern day fan!....cool, your grind is weird but cool

I love Paul Pierce as a player and I think his play and career underrated but maaaaaan why you trippin like that ? No Way you're better than Wade man :D Other than Rebounds,Fundamentals, Post Up, 3pts goes to Paul (not by large margin at all btw). All others thing that you can think off about basketball and career accolades goes to Wade by far.
wade does the blame to himself. transf.. his son and wearing dress simp 4 his wife and of course balco
Wade from 2005 to 2010 was the best player in basketball..also the most fun to watch.. would dunk on everyone, steal the ball at will and block 7footers in regular basis.
You're forgetting one Black Mamba.
wade was better than kobe from 06-12 when healthy. wade is so clearly the best player when he’s healthy that it makes me resent casuals who don’t see it. probably don’t want to see it.
