    #3 thats respectable, probably locked in that 3 spot for awhile. It's hard to find really good shooting guards

    Sure. Just turn pro, ship the points upfront, and we'll work something out..

    Isaiah Thomas has to be up there also

    If Wade wins a few more titles I'll put them ahead of Isaiah

    Isaiah was a much better all-around player than Wade they're not even in the same league


    Isaiah also was a much fiercer competitor

    There are only a few that could even be mentioned:

    Jerry West.
    Allen Iverson.
    Clyde Drexler.

    I can't believe Wade is the third best, but maybe he is. Seems pretty weak.
    Wade will be great until Lance Stephenson "Sweeps the leg Johnny..." Won't be nothing. Let's face it. Wade will be retired by the time he is 34 and while there is a place for him in the Hall. This idea is crazy to me.

    he certainly does not serve as even a remote threat from the 3 point line but yes he does do everything else well when he comes to play with effort like last night.

    What the hell does this mean? Wade is less hood? That's the only explanation, because when I think of pedigree Iverson certainly had better pedigree than Wade. Recruited higher out of high school, played for a better college program, and was a higher draft pick. Anything I missed as far as pedigree?

    I remember when Wade dropped 52 on the big 3 Celtics to avoid the sweep a few years back, it was funny and sad at the same time just goes to show you can't really win with 1 superstar. Wade is also shooting a career high in FG% this season, probably last season as well, at his age is pretty amazing. But not as amazing as a stat that came up a few years ago about him being the league leader in blocks since 08. blocks counted over multiple years... he led the league (over d12, bogut, etc) and he's a SG. just to clear up the idiocy #3 is deserved

    People always hate on A.I. very sad. Saying Wade is 3rd is probably a stretch.

    Nah

    Wade has got a few rings and has made some pretty bad commercials. Gabrielle Union is more likely to receive an Oscar than D-Wade being considered one of the best in this category. So many others that are better I don't even want to go there. Kobe? I'd rather have Wade on my team than AI though that's a FACT

    Please do go there...I wanna see if anybody has better alternatives than Iverson and Miller.

    Loved watching him but Iverson was the definition of a volume scorer... shot like 42 or 43% for his career. Sure alot more guys would have crazy scoring totals if they took 25 shots a game.

    He is incorrect...Wade is actually the 2nd best 2 guard in NBA history with Kobe " The Gimp " Bryant...coming in in a distant third..

    wade played with the most dominant center ever and the eventual best player ever.

    don't get me wrong, i like wades game but for a shooting guard, he can't shoot 3s...
    I would respectfully ask that you please refrain from making such assassine comments in the future... Mark Jackson is well within the top 50 point guards in NBA history..ranking 4th on the all time NBA assist list.

    You are half correct...Iverson was indeed a volume scorer only because it was necessary as he did not have the fortunate pleasure of playing with Shaq. Kobe is in fact the very definition of a volume scorer as he attempted to take more shots than Shaq every year they played together and would have succeeded had Phil not stepped in and reigned him in...Iverson did what he had to do..Kobe did what he WANTED to do....

    Missing a very important word there

    If I could go back in time and switch early-AI and early-TO, it would not change anything... because they had the exact same flawed psyche.

    Guys like AI and Reggie Miller were great scorers, Wade does everything great except shoot three's. He's the best shot blocking two-guard in history, he defends, rebounds, passes. He's clearly the third best two guard ever and might even be ahead of Kobe. Anyone who thinks Iverson or Miller were better doesn't understand there's more to the game than putting up a lot of points.

    Wade is a better rebounder, shot blocker, passer, and the much more efficient player. For his career AI shot .425 from the field, Wade is .492, that's a huge difference. You must be high or drunk to think AI is the better player. You're right about it not being close though.

    He was all of 6 feet tall, how easy do you think it is to score at that height the way he did it with every team focused on him only basically every single night. The fact that he led the league in scoring more than once is nothing to sneeze at, again 6 feet tall. And the fact that he even managed to get to an NBA Finals with the team they had, thats really crazy when you think about it.

    Since the arrival of Bron we will never see Wade the way he used to be also with the injuries, he did carry that team for a some years, but 3rd best Id say no.

    Guys I would put ahead of D.Wade in this conversation.

    Michael Jordan
    Kobe Bryant
    Jerry West

    Guys on the same level as D.Wade (even though most don't have titles)

    Reggie Miller
    Clyde Drexler
    Allen Iverson
    George Gervin

    I'm glad that Reggie miller is getting his due in this thread. He is definitely on par with dwade. Tmac is on par with dwade in talent and production but is seen as a gunner instead of an all time great. Tmac probably had more talent in his pinky than dwade in his whole body, but probably not as refined and didn't work as hard, and basketball iq is much lower.

    I wouldn't say he didn't work as hard. The injuries were crippling.
