Hey cant make every game winning shot
I didnt say timmy was #1 hes in my top 5...they were in no order
I've talked to fans outside of the heat and they all agree with me wade is not top 5 yet...honestly this year on carrying a team i'd rate Chris Paul higher...oh boy here comes the miami heat fans coming to flame me now
Also im sorry I dont know how you people can rate dwayne wade higher then Paul Pierce either
Ok well.. while I think you're just a hater, I can't give you much credibility for your opinion because for one you have Duncan on your list, whats the explanation for that? Why isn't Shaq there, just about identical numbers? And its not even arguable that Shaq is the greater floor presense.
Garnett, same thing for the most part, similar stats, also his team is several games under .500, if this top 5 superstar in your opinion can't keep his team at least at .500, well then, he doesn't deserve to be top 5 in my opinion. Allen Iverson is doing it, Kobe Bryant is doing it, Dwyane Wade did it when Shaq was out for 18 games in the beginning of the season.
Kobe, yes, Nash yes, Brand not on my list but I won't say he's not worthy of mention.
Now, you're sitting here drilling into Wade, but with no explanation. Why is it that Wade isn't top 5? Don't say Shaq, it's already been proven that Wade's stats go up when Shaq is out. It's already been proven that Wade can carry his team to at least a .500 record by himself. How about the infamous no 3 pt range argument. Who cares? He still gets his points at a high percentage because he's one of if not the best penatrators in the league, with a midrange jump shot that is coming along nicely. If you're gonna use that argument ponder this. Jordan shot under 18% from the 3 in his first FOUR seasons - and.. attempted around 50 each of those years, about the same number Wade attempts each year. But did anybody care? No. Why? Because he still got his points because he was that damn good. Jordan's highest 3 pt% in 4 years, 18%, Wade in 3 years, 30%. Now I don't like comparing Wade to Jordan, but sometimes you have to to get a point across. Rant done.
Now would you please explain to me why it is you think Wade is overrated and/or not top 5. Preferably with facts.
