Best shot blocking SG in the NBA, Hands down!!!

[jlip]

Jordan was a better shotblocker than Wade. Wade averages more blocks now than he would have pre-zone because he gets to hang around plays longer (especially in/near the lane), doesn't have to follow his man as closely, and can play an area instead of a man. 22-28 year old Jordan would average 1.2+ bpg annually playing under these rules, with high seasons of like 1.6-1.8 bpg. No one can tell me different. Jordan's anticipation, timing, and reflexes were the best ever for a non-big.
That said, Wade is pretty clearly #2. Tremendous shotblocker. Great hustle and energy.

Look at Dr. J's bpg avg. even at age 36 while playing only 32mpg.

Dr J was a beast blocker, yes. But he was 6'7" and was mostly a small forward. We're talking strictly guards here.

And let's not forget athletes are superior today. Much harder to get blocks now for a guard (especially a 6'4 guard) than way back then

LOOKS LIKE HE DOES HAVE SHIT ON WADE. SH1t ALL OVER HIS FACE

@ you being butt hurt.. great block though..

but to come to a thread about how great of a shot blocker Wade and post about Manu..

and comparing their career.. I think I can say Manu ain't got nothing on Wade..
I know you'll talk about his rings.. but Wade has too.. he had Shaq yes but it's Wade's team and he carried them.. Manu was a main piece in the spurs titles but he wasn't THE MAN of that team..

and highlights wise.. Manu has some facials, passes and blocks.. Wade has... I won't continue 'cause it'll be too long..

that's why I said Manu ain't got nothin on Wade...

again.. with all due respect.

@ Wade looking desperately at the ref after being stolen his candy!

Dr.J was forward. But one of the best blocker for a wing player.

Jordan rare block mix:

There was a longer version (or maybe it was a different video of rare blocks) set to different music, but I can't find it now. All the repetition of plays ends shortly into the video (it's annoying).

[GabeIsGone]

Never even seen another SG try and block that kinda shot, he's amazing.

Manu's block on Durant last year?

All superstars does that.. probably it takes some humiliation away.

[Heat007]

Being the best shot blocking SG is like being the Vlade Divac of Centers. It makes some cool highlights here and there but its a useless novelty more than anything. What kind of defensive impact do you think 1 block per game does?

Get that weak shit out of here . No one compares.

One thing that should be mentioned is Wade's blocks often inspire the team. I would say about 85% of the time he makes a highlight block the team brings it to another level immediately after wards. This has been a common occurrence over the years (including many instances this year)

Notice in your video that the Heat had a 9 point lead on the Celtics yesterday (would have been just a 7 point lead if not for the block). Well soon after that point late in the 3rd quarter the Heat brought that lead up to over 20 points soon after that...

This has been a common theme with Wade's blocks. So to answer YaoMing's Smelly Foot -- YES, Wade's blocks have GREAT impact in games. Only a fool would think it's some sort of "useless novelty"

Fixed for ya

[Heat007]

Fixed for ya

Except for the fact that Wade makes more highlight blocks at a higher rate than any other guard... so he impacts more than any other guard

Even though LeBron is not a true guard, people always talk about him as a great shot blocker.. but Wade has 85 blocks this year to LeBron's 50 blocks.

And that's with Wade playing 200 less minutes than Bron this season (that's equivalent to about 5 or 6 less games).

And in their careers Wade has a better blocks average than him even though LeBron is 4 inches taller and has played closer to the basket more in his career.

But that doesn't stop Wade from beasting for blocks at the rim, oftentimes against BIGS right at the rim.

Wade's a Shot blocking BEAST for a guard.

Wade = The ALLTIME leader in NBA history in blocks per game average for guards.

[Yao Ming's Foot]

Its no doubt it looks cool and hypes a team up, but how many more games did the Heat win because Wade averaged 1 block a game instead 1 block every two games?

[kidachi]

It's not like every basketball game is won by a block..

[Yao Ming's Foot]

Exactly, its probably Wade least important statistic relative to actually winning games in any given year.

Whats the next thread going to be?

Brad Lohaus is the greatest 3 pt making Center in the NBA, Hands down!!!!!!

[Stoke the sauna]

Hey.. Ronnie Brewer is the guard with the best Steals/Turnover ratio in the league!!!
