Why Isn’t Dwade ever mentioned in the same breath as the other Freak Athletes?

[mastermind]

He wasn’t a freak athlete.

Great first step and was fast but he didn’t have the leaping ability or body control of real A-1 NBA athletes.

 

[Standing on business]

“The Decision” was made right after that dunk, bron was like I’m playing with that nikka

 

[madness]

His passing was severely underrated as well, one of the best lob-throwers I’ve ever seen

 

[Da_Eggman]

His body control was just ridiculous

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

He sure is a freak

 

[mastermind]

He is. Wade was the closest thing to MJ athletically as a 2 guard, even more explosive than Bean from a pure physical ability standpoint.

Nah, Afro Bean could get up

Neither of them were the closest to Jordan.

It was Vince, and he arguably was a better athlete than MJ. Neither Kobe or Wade are in Vince and MJ’s planet.

Vince was not a better athlete than MJ. Vince could leap and do fancy dunks.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Nah, Afro Bean could get up

Bean could leap but that first step and overall speed and agility goes to Wade

 

[Reece]

Wade was a muthafukking beast. Bron stole a ring from him. They should’ve won in 2011.

 

[mastermind]

Vince was not a better athlete than MJ. Vince could leap and do fancy dunks.

He was taller, weighed more, and was stronger than Jordan was but still had a higher vertical and was near the same speed as Jordan. Vince also thats fine, but Vince was a lot closer to Jordan athletically than Wade and Kobe were.

You’re tripping my guy. Who had better body control than Wade did in his era? That’s one of his absolute super elite traits. He was MJ-like in that regard.

D-Wade only had a 35” vertical.

That’s way below average as far as freak athletes go. That’s probably why he’s left off the list. He wasn’t a super elite leaper.

In terms of explosiveness, he’s one of the GOATs. He also had a 6’11” wingspan. His athleticism was a combination of length, strength, and pure explosiveness.

I’m not sure his body control was all that great. They called him “Crash” for a reason. He would careen into the lane like a kamikaze. He was frequently out of control.

 

[CHICAGO]

He could but it’s not just your vertical that determines you athleticism. Dexterity, agility and body control also play and a role. And only MJ above Wade in that combination

ROSE EASILY>>>>

​

Wade is no. 1 in blocks by a guard all time, passed MJ this year.

NO HE DIDNT.

THE HEAT INCLUDED THE PLAYOFFS
IN THAT STAT THEY THREW UP THERE.

YOU CANT COMBINE REG SEASON AND PLAYOFF STATS ON ALL TIME LISTS.

HELL NO

VINCE WAS A HIGH JUMPER
BUT HE DIDNT HAVE THE FIRST STEP, QUICKNESS, AGILITY NOR CHANGE OF DIRECTION.

[FunkDoc1112]

And the crazy part is he did all of that on terrible knees

Imagine if Wade never had knee problems

 

[Kami]

He is. Wade was the closest thing to MJ athletically as a 2 guard, even more explosive than Bean from a pure physical ability standpoint.

Kobe wasn’t explosive that’s why he had to be more skilled than everyone.

Closest to mj is prolly lavine not dwade.

Y’all throwing shyt out there with no #’s mj had a 46 inch vert lol.

 

[Kami]

Nah, Afro Bean could get up

Nope check Kobe combine #’s lol.
