Filthy.

2009 Wade? My favourite season of any perimeter player post-MJ

they were/are both fun to watch. Kyrie has the better ball handling and because of his size he needs to find creative ways to avoid getting blocked. And he's really good at that. Wade was more athletic and could posterize a defender with a dunk or get an open lay up with his euro-step. Close call...

Nope, both of those are from 2010 if I'm not mistaken. The Bulls one for sure.

2010 Wade is a funny discussion. He showed up out of shape and unmotivated because he was pissed Riley was giving him trash for teammates, and quietly averaged 27\7\5\2\1 in the regular season and 33\7\6\3\1 on 56% FG and 40% 3PT in the playoffs.

It'd be pretty amazing if he was the favorite against the Boston Celtics with Chalmers as his 2nd best player in the playoffs.

I don't think he was pissed at Riley per se. He knew that the Heat were going to make some big moves in the off season, he was just frustrated he was wasting another year of his prime. I think he also knew that Beasley wasn't the guy the Heat hoped he was when they drafted him.

i laugh everytime i see this because of how freaking ridiculous it is. he literally goes through the entire team and makes it look easy.

Prime/Peak ofc...Currently Wade can't even jump

considering we haven't seen Kyrie's peak yet.

Watch some Heat games.

[Dr Hawk]

Wade by a mile

[tomtucker]

Lebron

[f0und]

put it this way. if you were a c/pf whose job is to protect the basket, who would you fear more coming into your territory? i think the answer is obviously wade.

[Elosha]

They are both very skilled finishers with a soft touch but prime Wade's size advantage, quickness advantage (close though), and significantly better leaping ability give him a solid edge. They didn't call him Flash for nothing. He was one of the most elite and athletic 2 guards of all time.

Yes, the 2010 Heat were the favorite over the NBA Finals runner-up Boston Celtics, who had home court advantage.
