this thread shows me that people have widely variant views on what constitutes athleticism
nikka had a good 12 years of GREAT player level play and 2-4 of declining player level play. Wade is higher all time than numerous dudes whos names constantly get mentioned (T Mac, Iverson, Curry still, Isiah, Harden, Russ, ect) Wase was CLEARLY better than all except Ziek and Curry can still pass him if not already past him. Wade is top 25 all time EASILY, mpst likely top 20. fukk yall nikkas
@steph_harden Wade was great but I've seen several post with you saying some out of pocket shyt in here.

In terms of athleticism, prime Vince Carter was the closest to Jordan I can recall. And I'm a huge Wade stan.

Like wha
Facts.
However, Wade was still extremely quick off the pick and roll, had great footwork in traffic, great in-air body control, and a low center of gravity. He's like an NBA RB.
People underestimate Wade's size nh. His wingspan is the same as Kobe and MJ's despite him being 2 inches shorter and he typically weighed in around 220-230lbs(heavier than Kobe and MJ).
Among the stars, I'd put Wade on the same level as Kobe athletically, which is still extremely high.

VINCE COULD ONLY fukkIN JUMP
We might be cool, but yall nikkas are dumb as shyt. Vince did no other athletic trait even above averagely except jumping, NOTHING. He wasnt fast, couldnt change directions and was only deadly from the tripld threat, couldnt do shyt off thd dribble, not even a first step.
Do you nikkas watch basketball like for real? If not, stay the fukk away from conversations like this bruh bruh

Wade was a freak.
Dude was 225(at his physical peak) and was faster than 95% of the league.

HE WAS NOT FASTER THAN 95% OF THE LEAGUE WHEN HE WAS 225.
HE WAS FAST IN HIS FLASH DAYS.
LOOK AT THE HEAD START HE HAS TO CUT ROSE OFF BEFORE HE WINDS UP IN THE STANDS.

McGrady > Wade peak vs peak wise
Wade still is the 3rd, arguably 2nd best 2 of all time though. It would be TMac in that spot minus injury.

Alot of that was the fact he didnt improve his dribbling. That is skill based, not athleticism.
Based on your criteria jason richardson is the most athletic 2 guard.
