Is DWade really the #3 SG of all time?

[DetroitEWarren]

Literally this!! I think it's West and Drexler above Wade...

This nikka said Drexler

This nikka said Drexler

What does Wade do better than Drexler other than he can dribble with his left hand

I can see Wade over Drexler, but West was better SG to me....

Much better handle, much better defender, much better at P&R, much better at isolation, a top 5 finisher of all time , best slasher of all time (getting there and finishing, which he did more than anybody historically except probably Zion), best shot blocking guard of all time, better post player, ect.

I can add more if you need me to lol.

Yeah, health and longevity is what keeps him from being #2 in my eyes.

Drexler was PF turned SG, Wade in no way a better post player, Drexler's finger roll was only outdone by Gervin/Wilt

Blocks doesn't mean someone is better defender, they were comparable as defenders, you must of saw Houston Clyde because late 80s/early 90s Clyde was a beast

Dont forget leading Marquette to the Final Four

Of course

Honest to God, Wade is one of the most entertaining players in the history of the game. Every single bucket he scored during the Olympics was a highlight. nikka was so fast and crafty. Very few players have the mix of handle, speed, strength, finishing ability that Wade had.

From crossovers to layups to dunks to blocks, every night bro had 2-3 plays on the top 10. I remember ESPN did a star on this around 2010 and Wade led the whole NBA in top 10 highlights BY A HUGE MARGIN.

Very few players in basketball or any sport was as fun to watch as Wade.

 

[Snake316]

Yes easily

 

[Diondon]

Yeah
1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Wade

That's law

It shoulda ended up Wade/STAT vs Bron/Bosh. STAT hit his 7 year micro fracture time limit (back then, micro fracture surgery had a 7 year window before your knee went bad again, I don't even think they do micro fracture surgery anymore) in 2012 though and was never the same after that.

Cleveland had the chance to trade for Stat in Bron's last season. Even if they don't stay there I think they may have plotted New York. It's why I always thought it should have been Stat/Bron vs Wade/Bosh. Either matchup would have been compelling though.

He wouldn’t have surpassed Kobe

 

[big bun]

Top-5 all-time guaranteed.

#3 all-time can be argued.

So we’re not considering Jerry West a SG? Or is it cause he played so long ago? Cause I don’t see why Wade should be ranked above him

Jerry West primarily played point guard his entire career

 

[ECA]

Harden is also a point guard
