Wade is better and it's not close.

Peak Wade > Peak T-Mac

Wade Career > T-Mac Career

Wade Playoffs > T-Mac Playoffs

Wade Accolades > T-Mac Accolades

How does this make sense? That's what the question is. Who's the better (more talented) player?
That's not the question. Don't be sliding the bracketed 'more talented' in there. It's the straight better player.

Stop reaching trying to put tmac over the finish line.

But can you dispute any of this?

Listen here bruh, im a grown ass man out here gettin that cash, I dont gotta hide shyt about who I am or what I do cause I really get down in the street, so I ask that you dont get shyt twisted, I aint no young internet nygga, im out here gettin shyt poppin.

On that note, Wade has a better prime, a better career, more moves on the court, a better finisher at the basket, better at creating space (T Mac is a better shooter) better on the break, a better one on one defender, a better help defender, a better leader, better in clutch situations, equal post game (lets not forget T Mac is 6'8, Wade will only get better the more he has to use it as he gets older) faster, quicker, more agile, ect.

The only advantage nyggas could give T Mac is his jumpshot and thats it. He was never the player Wade has been, and while they were both in the league and T Mac was healthy, Wade was still the better player. I dont know where the fukk you nyggas get this shyt from, watch basketball lil nygga. Wade is an all time great in a lot of things, T Mac does not scratch the surface.
How can 1 player with so many advantages be considered the lesser player of the 2. Only on the internet will you see shyt like that, smh.

What makes him better though?

Personally .. I loved his versatility. I like the fact that at 6'8-6'9 .. he could run point efficiently. He had a beast post game. He could put the ball on the floor and get to the rim at will. He could jump with the best of them. He was strong. There really wasn't much he couldn't do besides see straight and get past the first round. :to:

Before you come in here sayin that Wade could do all that also .. I agree. But I just think Tracy did it at a higher leverl. (As long as we're not talking playoffs cause my dude TMac had enough difficulties in the playoffs. In his defense .. he never really had that great of a team. In Houston .. he was starting to slow down and Yao was always hurt. Either Yao or he was.) Add to the fact the length factor ... :youngsabo:

You put a point guard on him and that points getting his ass handed to him on the block. You put a 3-4 on his and Tracy's taking him to the rack. If he plays off him, he'd shoot right over him.

Dudes in here are taking my posts as a knock on Wade, and thats not the case at all. I really do like Wade and I think he's amazing .. but I just think TMac in his prime was at another level. :manny:

I'm trying hard to find an argument for McGrady, but but even when Wade had a shytty supporting cast and was getting KO'ed in the first round, he still beasted individually.

T-Mac was a better shooter though :hmm:

That's good and all but we not talking about prime wade vs prime tmac as a base.... we talking about their WHOLE careers/body of work in a retrospective manner... you gonna sit there and tell me tmac has that over wade?

Now I see where we're off track .. I never said TMac had the better career. I think he was the better basketball player at his peak. That's what EVERYONE'S talking about.

You going by careers and it's not a contest. As for their peaks .. I'm taking McGrady being better than Wade.

you're the one who's off track. where does it say 'peak wade vs peak tmac' in the OP? that's not what EVERYONE is talking about.

Exactly,..... this is why it shouldn't be a discussion....:pachaha:
