makes that thread from a couple of days ago about Wade seem silly. If the Heat do anything, its going to be hard to deny, duke. He's doing it all by himself and having a ridiculous year. But they'll probably go safe and give it to Kobe.

No, it does not.
He scored 50 prior to that thread and got his ass packed in did he not?
He slacks against the Knicks until big bad Gallo, a rookie, hands him an inadvertant elbow, and then he decides to play hard?
Then a night later LeBron comes in and shuts his ass down again.

So, no, seb, anything said against Wade is purely legit points of view. He's a whiny primadonna.

Would I welcome him on the Knicks? Of course. Do I buy into all his BS? Not a chance.... why do you?

cosmo you got issues. has lebron ever carried a team on his back to the title? i don't think so. and you can't say it was about shaq. he was 2nd banana by then.

Amazing game by Wade tonight against the Celtics. 32 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 steals.

Wade is the third best player in the league. He should not be regarded in MVP considerations this year, simply because LA and Cleveland are much better teams, and championship caliber.

Third? I disagree. Maybe top 10 though but I'm not quite up to making an actual list right about now. Just not feeling this guy and his mouth right now. Besides half of his big games he still got his ass handed to himself.

Yeah, well, we all have our issues. Maybe I have more than others. When it comes to loudmouth players with a cult following I pretty much shyt the bed and go off against them. It is what it is but again this guy ripped our Knicks and pretty much suggested he should have won every MVP award since he came into the league. Not feeling it so F'em.

Well he's prima donna moments do devalue some of his performances but this man is clutch, definitely a level above pricks like Pierce but may slightly lower than Kobe and Lebron.

He is a good player I'm certainly not disputing that but as you allude to he's a second tier star. He's not on the level of the big boys. Dwight, Kobe, Duncan, LeBron. He's just not there no matter what he says. Heck, I'd take Paul and Deron over him as well. So right there that's six.

Again, is he a top 10 player in the NBA? Quite possibly if not probably. He's just not top 3 like he thinks he is. Not even close.

Still a damn good player though just being technical here. He might be in Barkley's fave five...but not mine.

Dwight? Really, now we are going to put Dwight over Wade. I am not a huge fan of Lebron so it is easy for me to put Wade over him. I am still anxious to see how Lebron plays when his athleticism fails him. Wade is clutch like Kobe. Wade is doing the same thing that Kobe did pre Gasol and post Shaq but more effectively. He won't be looking to pass up an open shot to a player at the end of games like Lebron. I love Paul but he wishes he can shoot like Wade. Deron Williams at this point doesn't belong in the conversation.

Yep. I do.

Kobe
LeBron
Dwight
Paul
Deron
Duncan(Only down this far because of age).

Now you can start talking about placing Wade. Starting at #7. Which might belong to Melo IMO.

The problem with Wade is that he's always hurt. Assuming he's healthy he's #3 in my book behind LeBon and Kobe.

ONCE AGAIN, KIDS:

It's the MVP of the League, not your own particular scum- sucking team. Great player on a Great Team with a Great Record in the Greatest F--king league on Earth.

Nobody give's a crap about how great you are compared to mediocre talent on your own team.

Run up all the individual stats in the world, they have columns to keep track of crap like that....Defensive Player of the Year, Scoring Champion, Rebounding Champion, Assists leader, Most Improved Player, blah blah blah

And nobody gives two rat sheets and a monkey's hernia about what wade did in 2006. It's MVP of 2008-2009.

Yeah, and so is your mother's sister.
