🤣 which part of what I said is false?
nikka the only thing Harden was EVER better than Wade at was shooting 3s. Harden is one of the worst defenders in that best SG conversation and really might be a bottom 5 worst defender on the 75th anniversary team

There's so much wrong with what you posted I'm not even saying anything more. Face it you like Hardens game more than Wade's. That doesn't make him better. Yall Harden fans make me sick.

Healthy Wade was a problem.

I don't think he'd be close to GOAT status though. But he'd be higher up. A healthy 14 years of Wade as a number 1 option would be interesting.

But I think him not being a strong shooter would hurt him.

@mikishere and @A Pimp Named Slickback , fill me in. What were his weaknesses. Why do yall think He would be GOAT status
Healthy Wade for 10 plus years is neck and neck with Kobe if not above. His only weakness was shooting. That's it. And he was just average. He wasnt terrible at it. He was elite at everything else. His playmaking ability is underrated because he's had mid teams for most of his career

Those last 2 seasons before Lebron and Bosh came. He put those teams on his back and when he got his 35 he set up his teammates effortlessly. Had a washed Jermaine O Neal looking like LaMarcus Aldridge

Harden's offense was so much more advanced, is my basis for saying he was better at basketball. Significantly more prolific scorer. Significantly greater shot creator. Significantly greater playmaker, significantly more developed passer. His mastery of control of tempo and pace were at a scale Wade never reached...

Bare minimum Harden was a more lethal offensive player. I'm not even sure why guys argue otherwise other than the fact they just flat out dislike Harden, Wade was more likable...

The Wade disrespect in this thread is crazy. He was never appreciated in his day and was a top 5 player at worst when healthy from 05-10. I remember ranking him above Bron in 06 and folks thought I was crazy but then the playoffs hit and he went Ultra Instinct in the finals :wow:

Harden will never do what Wade did in the 2006 and 2011 finals. He won't ever even sniff the finals

Harden is better at basketball than Wade but Wade is deservingly ranked higher historically because Harden has way too many meltdowns in the playoffs with no playoff run that equals his peak regular season output...

Wade has several meltdowns himself, he's not That Guy. You do realize that the only playoff W's in his career sans Shaq or Bron were over that Hornets franchise, quite possibly the worst organization in basketball history. You know that, right?

This dude so fukking overrated 🙄...

This dude's placement as a GOAT 3 SG is precarious. He's not even close to the GOAT 2 and a real deep dive on his career reveals massive holes to be desired...
Breh stop this madness.
of course a lebron stan is on the first page discrediting a top 3 SG all time and the guy bron had to run to in order to finally win a chip 🙄
I'm a Bron Stan and Wade was part of my Big Three of childhood with him and Kobe. It ain't about Bron, breh is my guy but thinks Harden is the #3 SG :skip:

I will say this. As far as elite players go, Wade I think was underrated in his prime. He really balled out when healthy and he was a real all rounder. He could score, facilitate, defend and do it all at a high level. I think his physical style of play cost him in the long run but he was a blur more often then not.
