If D.Wade had honed a solid skill set he would be GOAT right now.

Post game and midrange were absolutely elite.
Elite slasher and finisher
Elite help defender

These nikkas don't watch shyt the reason Wade declined so much is cuz his knees are shot. That meniscus injury really tore up his knees and fukked up his cartilage. It's like nikkas forget Wade was missing hella games and back to backs cuz the pain and swelling was to much. His days of playing 37+ minutes and being a elite player where cut short cuz of injury not cuz he ran on E.

What I'm saying is if he would of slowed his tempo several years ago and relied more on the brilliant IQ he possess, and added a consistent game to game midrange/three his game would still be on a superior level.

Instead he went athletically crazy every night, fell all over the paint every night, and fell off more drastically than any elite athlete you've ever witnessed at his playing position.

He got injured I dont know where you going with this but not everyone is a finesse shooter. If you comparing dwade to rose you off by a mile. Drose was nothing but athleticism dwade was more Jordan than he was rose and one of the most skilled players we've ever seen in the NBA. He had a unfortunate meniscus injury that had nothing to do with tempo and opted to have it removed leaving bone on bone contact. That's gonna slow done anybody's career.

3rd? Whos the second? Cause even as a Kobe stan, i always did think wade was a better finisher. Unless we putting Kyrie in the conversation.

I'm talking all perimeter players, not just 2's. Only MJ and Bron were better finishers than prime Wade, and Wade and Bron are pretty close in that category.

36yo Wade still finishes at 60+% in the paint, dude is still a great finisher, just uses floaters more than the elite athleticism he used to use.

Dwade had that meniscus injury in college tho. which makes his career even more unbelievable. Dude was one of the supreme athletes the league has ever seen and he had bad knees from the jump.

Ya that was the year before he got drafted. He was on a ticking time clock but still managed to produce greatness for another 7-8 years. I remember that hoop dreams documentary where the kid that was going to Marquette same college as dwade had the same injury and he couldn't even make it to his sophomore season.

and honing won't help him grow extra 2 inches either

Op spelled d rose wrong.

 

[DoubleClutch]

He mastered the euro step

 

[Rigby.]

People willing to recognize the Achilles cut Kobe down before old age but not the same for Wade. Dude could’ve shytted his meniscuses back in 05

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The only thing Wade didn't master on offense was his 3-pt shot. Everything else he was basically elite at.
