D Wade need to swing on Teague. First he said Klay was close to Wade, then couple weeks ago he said this fraud was better than D Wade
This why I say you've been online too long I've never once in my life hear mf's with these conspiracy angles, this is an online talking point. I talk ball all the time, nobody ever says "if you have this opinion, it's because you like this player"...
You so tied into online shyt because if you read any posts I've had in the past, and in this very thread, i state that I think Wade was a great player...
My issue with Wade is I think it's clear he wasn't as great a player as people give him credit for, and I've given my reasons why, in this and other threads. People have hypocritical basketball takes, whereas mine are consistent. Mf's will bring up players who have Finals chokes, but never bring up Wade's. Mf's will say that The East was so simple and easy to dominate, yet Wade struggled to win a playoff series in that supposedly easy conference, and when you point this out, you hear about how he was hurt this year, ir team was bad that year, etc...
But if you tell someone that Old LeBron can't carry a team the way he used to, or that he took mediocre rosters on plenty of long playoff runs, mf's have a different bar of accountability...
If a guy was a superstar, then I hold him to superstar accountability. Wade and everyone else. With me there is no, well for this guy I make exceptions...
Injury seasons are fair exclusions for someone, but is still a demerit if you're always hurt at inopportune times. Playing with subpar rosters is a fair context, and I allow that for anyone---->but Wade exhibiting that he couldn't best mid teams like the '09 Atlanta Hawks in a conference we all know was the weaker one, is a fair criticism. Iverson, Melo, DeRozan, and many others beat garbage East teams without a Shaq or Bron level teammate...
To me its an illustration of the level of player Wade was, even when he was post-prime but have good East teams like the '17 Bulls, and couldn't win a playoff series. Its an indicator of the level of player he was...
LeBron playing terribly in the '11 Finals and Wade being unable to carry the Heat home in a series where every game is for the taking, is an indicator of the level of player he was. He was the Heat's best player in that series but he was NOT great in every game, specifically in crunch time with the series in the balance, and because he WAS a superstar, I hold him to superstar accountability for that...
Wade was a great player. Yall just so married to online shyt yall have a sliding scale of stabdards you hold players to. It changes by the guy.....it doesn't change with me.
I agree that it doesn't tell the whole story...
Wade with some of those East rosters should have been able to win more, even a .500 playoff record would suffice. He wasn't playing the '10 Celtics every playoffs. Lesser players won more in The East than he did, hell Haliburton is an example of an inferior player with more success in a weaker conference...
What you guys are really telling me is that if Wade didn't have one of the two best players ever as a teammate, he couldn't win series vs mediocre teams. You're helping make my case...
Those guys won a ton of playoff series without Wade. And won plenty with rosters without a Wade level player, Shaq early in his Laker run before Kobe ascended, had some solid teammates but didn't have a Wade, won series. Bron won PLENTY of series with no Wade next to him...
DeRozan, Butler, and a bunch of guys who in a vacuum were not as good if players as Wade, won in The East, and those guys NEVER had a LeBron or Shaq...
