ESPN all time NBA top 100 rank

[Wacky D]

Give me one good reason why Pippen should be ranked ahead of Wade.

Oh shyt I almost forgot I was talking to you @Wacky D, you think AI is better than Wade. Clearly you don't know shyt about Wade's game.

this dude aint have chit to do, so instead of waiting for the next time that i log on, he starts talking to himself.

f*ckin geek.

you probably one of those analytics dudes.

Wade should be ranked ahead of Pippen. It's not really debatable for me. He did more with less over his career.

replace pippen with wade on the '94 & '95 bulls, and theyd be happy to just make the playoffs.

 

[H.J.Duck]

the list is already a joke, doesn't even matter what rest of it looks like.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Durant over Wade???

Steph over Pip??

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

Chris Paul in the top 30

Pippen over D Wade?

 

[H.J.Duck]

Durant over Wade???

Steph over Pip??

And Pip (& bunch of others) over Isiah Thomas?

etc. etc.

are you serious man. And do you see prime Wade getting held to 21 on 40% against the Knicks in the '94 semifinals

 

[ExodusNirvana]

I feel like Pip is being disrespected in this thread...

 

[itsyoung!!]

I feel like this list is based more on primes (and even though a lot of it dont make sense) compared to people overall careers and body of work, which is disrespectful to me.. its like they just compliled everyones best high light reels and made the list off of that

 

[Wacky D]

yes & yes

i an see wade going 6 for 26 and chit like he does against random/softer modern teams.

he'll also drag his team down with him in the process.

I feel like Pip is being disrespected in this thread...

yea.

i mean, i can understand if someone think hes ranked too high, but hes better than some of these names people are trying to put in front of him.

 

[TKOK]

No way RIGHT NOW is Steph a top 25 player to ever do it.

 

[Wacky D]

theyre positioning curry & durant, similar to how they positioned kobe.

half the people in here mad(and rightfully so) at the placement of curry & durant will catch amnesia and be passive about those names a decade from now.

Walton has one of the greatest peaks for a center ever, led the '77 Blazers to a championship and even with the rash of injuries that would follow he played a key role off the bench for the Celtics in their '86 title run. Love on the other hand I'm not so sure, I'm guessing they factored in his future outlook as compared to Rose who's been plagued by injury for several years now. Regardless I'd put the likes of Penny Hardaway and maybe Kevin Johnson over them anyway.

I'll give Walton this. He passes the eye test. But his numbers are pure garbage. Let's be real that blazers TEAM was good with the gawd as coach. Similar to the 04 Pistons. His NBA career is wayyyy overrated. Stats ain't the end all but they have to matter some. And there have been plenty uber talented guys careers ruined by injuries, many we don't even mention so I don't want to hear that shyt. He has a little over 6,000 career points. In his MVP season Cap'n numbers were better and he never averaged over 20 in any season. Please, will some egghead show me some bullshyt metrics to justify him making this list any higher than maybe 90. He lived of his college rep and two good NBA seasons. Some of these same people jerking him off find reasons to criticize LeBron.

Spoken like somebody who doesn't know what they're talkin bout. Wade carried worse teams to the playoffs (09 Heat won 47 games with Beasley as a #2 option), and not only that, but had one of the best postseason runs (which also ended in him winning a title) for a #1 option in the modern era. What the fukk did Pippen do as a #1 option, that even comes close to what Wade achieved?

Pippen put up 22 ppg and 5.2 assists/3.2 turnovers in 1994 and 21.4 ppg and 5.6 assists/3.4 turnovers in 1995 as the Bulls' #1 option
Wade had the following seasons as the #1 option:

More points (on near-equal efficiency) and more assists while still maintaining a lower turnover rate. That's not even getting into how they performed in the postseason.

Wade dragging his team down?

Did you watch any Heat games from the mid 00s to the late 00s?

Chris Paul in the top 30

Pippen over D Wade?

@Wacky D

Even a Bulls fan thinks Wade should be ranked ahead of Pippen.
