Wade was the better two way player. While Steph's gravity and his gameplay within the system is more transformative, it's not like Wade was a significantly lesser offensively player than Steph. Hell, I'd venture to say Wade is the more versatile scorer, within the arc. Steph's shooting has never been seen before and is transcendent, but Wade was every bit of the scorer Steph is, and while Wade wasn't a transformative defender, the gap between Wade's defensive impact and Steph's defensive impact is greater than the gap between the two 's offensive skillset. History will look kindly on Steph compared to Wade, but Wade was the better player on both ends of the court. Steph is perhaps the better passer and shooter, Wade is the better defender and perhaps the more versatile scorer. Steph is the main cog in one of the greatest offensive systems we've ever seen, while Wade was the system for quite some time before LeBron came. Even when LeBron came, Wade's defensive impact was part of the reason why LeBrons defensive numbers were through the roof is Miami. Same vice versa with LeBron lending Wade a hand defensively. Having perhaps the 2nd greatest shooter all time next to you in Klay Thompson and having more defensive minded players surrounding you will do wonders, compared to Wade having to not only be the best offensive player on the team, but having also to be the best defender on the team in the pre LeBron years.

Ppl tend to forget about Wade having 40/10/10 nights, while shooting 60% from the field and adding 4 blocks and 3 stls boot. At 6'4 Wade would be the last line of defense and would defend the rim on one end and take the whole defense coast to coast on the other end. Wade in his prime was basically shooting guard version LeBron. One of the main issues in year one was figuring out who would have to defer since Wade and LeBron did Alot of the samething's. Wade was also crazy efficient.

Not true...
Let's put it in perspective.
Stephen Curry has led the league in True Shooting percentage...twice...as a 6'3 guard...he is the smallest player ever to lead the league in TS...that's how well he can score.
Wade has never done that. Wade isn't anywhere near the scorer that Stephen Curry. Very few NBA players are.
Stephen Curry is a top 5 all time offensive talent.
Versatility doesn't mean shyt..
All Shaq could do is a hook shot and a drop step.
All Charles Barkley could do is run in transition, get putbacks and face up.
But they were so dominant at it...it doesn't matter.
Carmelo Anthony is one of the most versatile scorers the league has ever seen...but he is no where near the scorer of Lebron James...who people think is limited...but it doesn't matter if you can dominate your opponent.
Stephen Curry dominates the perimeter with his jumpshot.
The man dropped averaged 30 points a with a near 67 TS...one of the most dominant seasons ever for any player...
The man this year dropped 26 points with a 675 TS....
And he does it less than 36 minutes...
That's a different level of scoring, that level of scoring is unprecedented....Wade isn't close that at all.
Yeah Andre was totally the best players on the warriors in 2015 it was no contest tbhFinals mvp holds more weight because you were the best player in the most important series in this league. You were the best player on a team that was the best out of your conference, going aganist the best out of the other conference. Give me finals mvp over season mvp anyday.

at all the garbage posting in here. Sad thing is y'all muh'fukkas really believe the bullshyt you're typing out.
If people still read magazines you’d have a sports illustrated with Curry on the cover, hidden under your bed, with the pages stuck together.

Not only is this ducktales, but it's disingenuous to use this as a definitive scale, especially since no other perimeter player in NBA history was guarded like Curry was in his first two Finals'. Furthermore, why do y'all use series', and not teams/schemes as the argument? shyt is some corny ass msgboard talk.

Imagine Wade being locked up by Delly
bron won 2 rings w the goat defensive sg who was a better offensive player than steph curry.

For the record, Steph hasn't surpassed Wade on an all-time list, largely due to the fact Steph is still writing his legacy. This discussion would be best kept until his prime is over, at the very least.

Good point, Steph might be the greatest scorer the game has seen. Although Wade has had series where he's averaged 20+ points on 65 TS% without any semblance of a 3 point shot. Wade's ability to get to the line and get to the rim made up for his shooting deficiencies. But for Steph to do that for a whole season is bonkers.
