But right, Iverson exploding as an instant draft impact and dominating for 10 years leading the league in steals, points, and minutes MULTIPLE times and having an MVP makes him worse than wade

I'd say he squeezes in here. But 3rd greatest of all time for 4-5 years of good play is a STRETCH. Guys have done what he did for way longer stretches

Iverson was a beast but wade is superior to him in nearly every way.

Can't rank jerry west so we'll leave him out for now. That said, no shooting guard other than Jordan was as good as wade in the finals, no shooting guards other than Jordan and Kobe were as good in the playoffs, and once again no shooting guards other than Jordan, Kobe, and arguably Mcgrady were as good in regular season. What else is there to discuss? Looks like we about covered everything.

Factor in Sam Jones as well.
And he hasn't been better than Kobe in finals.

Lol'd @ "hard time putting him over jerry west"
Unless you are at least 50 years old (which I highly doubt you are), shut the **** up. How could u ever make a comparison one way or the other if u didn't even see the other guy play. Stats could only tell so much.

If you're going to try and take a shot @ me, don't be a [()] ... quote me directly.
And when did I claim to have seen West within context? I've seen clips, and read quite a bit about him.
I have studied the history of the game, and understand his historical impact. Thus my statement for acknowledging why others would or could have him ranked ahead of Wade, a player I have more intimate knowledge of within context.
Try again, hoe.

Personally he is no. 3 for me. Jordan and Kobe are clearly ahead of him, but I think he has a good case against West and Drexler. I have nothing against those who put him behind West, because its highly arguable.

He is already the best shot blocking SG this game has ever seen.

I've been watching the NBA since 1992 and his the best shot blocking SG I've seen, can't compare to 80s or 70s SG because I never watched, other than replays.

Re: Wade's Historical Rank Among SGs
Borderline top 10 at best.. Dude is overrated.. If not for the refs help, no one in their right mind will put this guy in the top 10.. Refs made him the player he was.. Even tho Wade is still in his prime, old ass Ray Allen is still better than him by far while playing 6th man and lesser minute.. People who put him in the top 5 or even near the top 5 are clearly trolling and should not be taken seriously..

Re: Wade's Historical Rank Among SGs
Wade was a better player than Drexler and Iverson, no question in my mind. He's at least 4th for me, but I'm hesitant to put him over West, and really don't think I can do it. Wade's high points may warrant it such as his amazing peak season in '09, or his finals MVP in '06, but his whole prime from '06-'11 just isn't quite enough for me. It doesn't help that he had another excellent season interrupted in '07 and then one completely wasted in 2008 at 26 years old.
