I don't know how many times I'm going to say this, but Wade is and will always be one of the most disrespected legends of all time. All because he's not a traditional shooting guard and likes to get most of his baskets close to the hoop. You have players in the league today who are modeling their game after him and show respect, yet you have these front-running clowns who continue to disrespect him.
Top 100?
AI, Drexler, and Gervin better?
Imagine if Wade with his resume happened to be on the Lakers or Knicks, the hype that surrounded him would be so much different. Stop watching ESPN. Men lie, Boys lie more, but the numbers don't. Wade is one of the most complete shooting guards to play the game up there with Kobe, West and Jordan. The thing that distinguish them from the guys mentioned above is they did it on both ends of the floor. AI was never the defender Wade is nor Drexler. Gervin I can see a case for, but his team was still flabby and sick. Wade carried this roster to a 43 win season and almost beat the Hawks in 7 games.
There are only 5 players who averaged these numbers for their career :
25+ PTS, 5+ REB, 6+AST, 1+ STL, 1+ BLK
Jerry West
Michael Jordan
Oscar Robertson
LeBron James
Dwyane WADE
Stop watching so much ESPN. You all are losing credibility looking like Shyne out here. Wade is top 25 of all time (I have around
#22 next to Isiah Thomas) and will finish between 15-20 when is all said and done.

Yes, I agree he's on a decline, but if he wants to, he can still average 25+ easily. He's known for coasting through the season which I completely hate, but so be it. However, don't ever disrespect the man's career.
