    I'm going with Iverson, but I freely admit there is some bias in that. I was a pre-Lebron Wade fan, but when Lebron went to the heat, Wade turned into a ? .

    How?

    ? started flopping more, whining like a ? after every call no matter how blatant, and his go to move became that ? "throw up a shot and then kick your leg out to draw a foul." I ain't saying it's Lebron's fault, but prior to the formation of the Big 3, Wade just played ball. After that happened though, he became as much actor on the court as ball player.

    Wade was always flopping bruh.

    I clearly said he started flopping more. That ? went from something he did now and then to get an edge to damn near his central strategy.

    False. Kyle Lowry uses it as strategy

    What does Lowry have to do with anything. You dudes are trying so hard to disagree with me that you're bringing up ? that doesn't matter.

    I was telling you who does do what you just said...as it's not wade. Not that hard homie

    But Wade does do it. Hell this ? just had two egregious examples the very last game where he wasn't touched but put on an Oscar worthy performance to get calls. You can be his fan, that's cool, but you don't have to deny reality to do so.

    I meant not caring beyond correcting you to have a real back and forth.

    How is it disrespectful to Wade to say he's not quite as good as a HoF player? You fanboys are acting like we're saying Smush Parker was a better player.

    Normally, I don't just post stats since people like taking them out of context. In this case their games are so similar that a straight stat comparison is fair. Plust if Wade is a million times better than A.I., he should ? A.I. in almost every major stat right?

    They are pretty close, but looks like the numbers suggest A.I. is better and on top of that even at the end of his career, A.I. could still give you a whole season. Wade can barely give you a whole game.

    If A.I. were Wade's size (6'5", 220), he probably would've been the GOAT guard next to Mike. Him being under 6' and 160 pounds putting in work like he did makes him that much more legendary.

    lol You basically just put up five relatively short guys. None of them played the game remotely like A.I. KJ for example was a pure PG.

    Nosign. Those guys were short guards, but they weren't ? on people and scoring 50 points in the finals.
