Never much liked him and the 2010 thing with the Bulls permanently put Bulls fans off of him but he’s one of the most underrated players of my lifetime. His fellow peers seem to have an idea how good he is but most basketball fans I’ve talked to don’t.

Anyway, fuck him still, Dirk was better. Not many others were though.

I haven’t thought about this much but he’s probably the best player in my lifetime that never won a MVP.

great player but he can play a little longer.

His wife is forcing him to retire. Sad.

Truth. Tried his best to help him against Dirk too but LeBron just wasn't ready to match up against a 32 year old Shawn Marion at that point.

Russell Westbrook chuckled when he heard Wade got his 5th triple double of his career last night. Wade responded with a display of his rings.. Russ got angrier

This is part of the reason why the NBA is a mess now. Having the players collude to team up and play in only a few markets. It might be fun and ideal for them, but part of the reason to be a fan is to believe that your team has a shot to be great through smart drafting and moves. Now it feels like it's star players playing kingmaker and only a few markets are in.

It's better for the league if the players have less control over where they play.

Who was the kingmaker for Milwaukee?

They have not won anything yet. They had one nice regular season.

Wouldn't you like to root for guys you watched grow up in your organization?

Underrated? How many other guys get national TV farewells from ex-presidents? Dude is massively overrated IMO.

Ideally yes but I don't think it's a big deal and I think the player movement thing is definitely way overblown.

Milwaukee has the best record and best point differential in the NBA. You can't dismiss them because it doesn't the narrative. Golden State is really the only team that fits that narrative anymore and even they won a title before becoming a super team. I just don't see the issue with player movement/control.

Massively overrated? You're insane. He's one of the best players of the past 20 years.

Seems like a lot of people forget how good he was from 2005-2011. Your post is an excellent example.

Underrated.

Whatever the level is that is right below Tim Duncan and Kobe, he's there. Pretty sure it's a little better than top 50. Top 20-30 range. He had a good claim to best player in the NBA from 2006-2008.

Milwaukee had a regular season. I highly doubt they will win the title.

I don't think GS will lose to anyone this year but Milwaukee is almost certainly set up to be a contender the next few years and if/when Durant leaves this summer will likely be the odds on favorite to win the title next year.

Reggie who? :lol:

Isaiah maybe. Hard to say with Pippen, but I'll take 2006-2008 Wade over the best of Pippen.

I was kidding about Miller. I don't think he's any great deal better than the other two. I'd say Pippen, Wade, Isiah, then Miller, then BJ Armstrong, then Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, and then Muggsy Bogues - well, and let's not forget about John Paxson.

sure Wade could be top 30 in FF's lifetime. That deserves a televised goodbye from OBAMA?

Second best shooting guard of all time, as evidenced by his actually being the top dog on a championship team with Shaq instead of just a Robin along for the ride.

I actually think if anything he's more underrated by players than fans. Pierce just had the audacity to claim he's had a better career than Wade and there was a TNT show a few years ago about the best 10 players since the NBA 50 list where Barkley and Shaq were being huge haters.
