Better longevity: Dwight or Wade?

[Dray n Klay]

Who had better career longevity?



Remember Dwight was able to take his team to the WCF last year while Wade was in the lottery.

[Bosnian Sajo]

I wouldn't say Dwight took his team to the WCF...he was a role player on that team.

[G-train]

Howard is 30.
Wade is 34.
We da bess

He was clearly the man in his magic team...

Dwight actually played more NBA games played than Wade. 879 vs 853

Oh I thought question was longevity not games played.

*checks title*

Actually it was. Wade is 34 and a better player than Howard. Howard is 30. You look up who has played in the NBA longer.

Howard is still going strong 12 seasons in.


Wade in his 10th season was a 15ppg role player (2013 playoffs)


Howard still gets 18/11 with good defense in the playoffs


He's better currently, and in terms of peak play.

He's talking about the 2015 Rockets

Old man Wade will put up better numbers and actually be the focal point of his offense than Dwight will this postseason. But I bet you'll still feel the same way.

What longevity?

Oh thanks bro, I didn't realize Orlando is in the west, my bad!



















Dumbass.

[COnDEMnED]

When you're still within the span of a normal NBA career, you can't have longevity. Longevity is playing time PAST the average player expiration date.

Dirk, Duncan, Vince Carter, Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Karl Malone, Kareem...

These players have/had longevity.

Wade is having one of the better seasons ever for a 34 year old SG. 19/5/4/1/.5 and a 21 PER while leading his team to a potential top 3 seed. He's also only missed 8 games. His longevity is turning out to be solid despite the injuries. I don't care what conference you're in, you can't make 12 all-star appearances without having pretty good longevity.

Howard is too young at this point to talk about his longevity. He's obviously not the elite player he once was, but he could still he an effective player for several more years. Time will tell.

Oh, and Wade has actually played more career games than Howard if we include the playoffs. Wade has played 152 playoff games.

Dwight has done nothing in his three years at Houston. Wade so far.

Wasn't exactly taking the league by storm in his stint in Los Angeles either
