This is why DWade vs Kyrie doesn't make sense

[kuts]

I don't want to disrespect Kyrie because his abilities make him a unique player that can score against anyone, but when it comes to who pairs better with LeBron, DWade vs Kyrie doesn't make sense because Wade and Bron lived off of easy baskets. Anyone who's played pickup or league ball knows that transition buckets (plus defense) wins games; and Wade and Bron must've been the most formidable transition offense in NBA history; see this link:

LeBron James & Dwyane Wade ● TWO KINGS ● MIAMI HEAT DUNK MIX

Miami's offense was like pickup ball taken to its highest potential--similar to how Golden State's offense is a 2K offense taken to its highest potential. You had two playmakers/scorers with all the talent in the world and the chemistry to make it work coming at you after every missed bucket. If you never saw Wade and Bron in Miami then you missed something truly special. Their transition play was one of the purest expressions of the game of basketball.

D-Whistle was much better than Kryie before his body started to break down on him

I agree, Kyrie is really good, but when we talk about a pairing there has never been one on the level of DWade and Bron. And I visited Miami when the were going off and it was soooo lit.

who is the better player, of course wade, but kyrie may be playing at a high level longer with lebron than wade did. he also can space the floor better so in some instances in the half court on offense he can be a better pairing.

I don't want to take away from how Kyrie gets at dudes, but DWade and LeBron was literally a cheat code. There was nothing to think about, no how am I going to contest his shot, it was just Bron to Wade to Bron to Wade....buckets...and vice-versa...buckets....

Transition buckets has more to do with defense than offensive prowess.

And they were great at defense. Plus I disagree bc in transition you are still going at a guy one-on-one to get to the basket. If it's a two-on-two situation or two-on-three you're telling me offensive prowess has nothing to do with getting the basket?

History should and always will remember the flying death machine combo of James-Wade

Wade declined badly after their 1st year together because of injuries, age.

We never got to see prime Wade alongside Bron for long.

Kyrie is a better fit with LeBron than Wade was, who the better player is obviously Wade but Kyrie's game compliments Brons a lot more. This season Kyrie shot 48% on catch and shoot 3s, for comparisons sakes that was better than Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver.

prime flash had the stupid layup package his acrobatic finishes going to the rim were/are top shelf
uncle drew shooting touch blows him away doe
so we got to wait & see

kyrie still got 5+ years of prime in front of him he might level up some more as bron gets up in age

I like Kyrie but Wade is the second greatest 2 guard of all time and Kyrie is around the 4th or 5th best PG currently.

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

Kyrie is better offensively but overall I'm taking Wade because he didn't just defend, he did it at a high level. nikka used to stay meeting 7 footers at the rim.

and lets not forget when they defacated on the lakers on christmas
