He's top 75 and one of the highest paid players of all time. Wade was coming off the bench for the Heat preparing for retirement at Harden's age. He's still balling and reaching accolades. That's more valuable than a parade thru South Beach nobody remembers or cares about any more. Wade has to cling to his wife to remain relevant.

He plays one side of the ball and scores a lot of points in meaningless games

 

[therealjondoe]

Arguably one of the worst play off performers of all time as far as stars go

Got outplayed by max strus

He's an offensive machine that influenced the NBA waaaaaay more than D Wade and has scoring titles, assist titles, Sixth Man of Year, MVP, etc.

Wade lives off a lopsided officiated NBA Finals (that no one remembers or references) and being a sidekick to LeBron James in two of his championships. He'll be remembered for that behind Kyrie and AD. Take that away he has one scoring title and that's it. He didn't last long and doesn't have an impressive individual body of work compared to other guards like Harden.

His playoff numbers identical to Wade's.

22 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds. Harden has never missed the playoffs tho. In 15 seasons. Wade can't say that.

Ime Udoka on What’s Fueling the Houston Rockets’ Surprising Start

The Rockets are winning with a dominant defense that merges old-school toughness with cutting-edge principles

Is Dalton Knecht Too Old to Have Major Upside?

The Los Angeles Lakers rookie is making LeBron (and us) wonder: Did 15 teams screw up by passing on him in the 2024 NBA draft? And does Knecht’s torrid start tell us anything about how teams should factor age into their prospect evaluations?

What If the Sixers’ Nightmare Is Just Beginning?

As miserable as Philadelphia’s start has been, the ending could be worse. Even for a franchise familiar with suffering, this season has produced a unique type of torture.

So the game is the same now as it was in wades era

Harden is literally remembered for being a play off choker

Wade came off the bench for J.R. Smith in Cleveland. J.R. Smith!!! In no world was D Wade ever better than James Harden.

Wade was old and no longer healthy

He was younger than Harden is now. Thanks for proving my point he didn't last long, played with lower expectations, and lives off team championships because his individual accolades are thin. He's not Michael Jordan tho, so that's not gonna work for him fam.

Wade and Harden's play style are so different it would not be a fair comparison. If it ever came down to the last couple seconds I would take Wade anyvday because he has more tools up his sleeves than Harden.

Dwayne Wade is a Shaq and Bron merchant. Link me to his buzzer beating shot in the playoffs or Finals? He lives off his reputation from team championships. Harden has plenty of clutch moments in the regular season too.

Not to mention Lebron had lead responsibility on assists, defending HOF perimeter players and rebounding as well. Chucks low IQ sports commentary is bad for the sport.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Had no idea Duncan was 2nd all time in wins. Imagine if he had Tobe Beans PR team.

 

[therealjondoe]

Lol changed for the worst

10 years ago when he was live streaming, crying and eating vaseline... Marbury said LeBron wouldnt have a long career and his game would age horribly because of his build.

He just realized his wife was from Iran?

Chicago coon.

Didn't even read that part, what a dumbass

I guess they have never discussed politics in their house.

He also said Kobe Bryant was more intelligent than LeBron James because he moved in circles with affluent whites and could speak more than one language.

And he said that after Kobe died.

You aren't going to get real conversations publicly from these players on Bronny

I'd rather them say nothing then the stuff I'm hearing; you had 3 on there trying to tell Rashad McCants that because Bronny has sold 500k jerseys that it justifies him being in the NBA and if a NBA team had player that averaged 10 points but sold no jerseys Bronny is more valuable to the team because he sold 500k

As the players shouldn't, there's no need for them to speak on the talents or specifically the lack there of of another players kid.

We all know that Bronny's not good enough to be in the NBA including the players, there's no reason for the players to speak/shit on Bronny by voicing it.

Just my opinion.

Yeah, but I wouldn't blame them after that dumb ass tweet from @Amajorfucup idol

 

[REDLINE]

I agree and definitely can't argue with that

 

[KingTaharqa]

Bron is winning. All the dickriders have been silenced on basketball and can only speculate on the future of his kids who are both already millionaires and household names. Bronny already in the league with a guaranteed deal.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Yeah, but I wouldn't blame them after that dumb ass tweet from @Amajorfucup idol

He was right, Bronny's better than a lot of guys in the league with more upside. That's why he got drafted.

Bron's comment actually made people wonder why the guys before him didn't promote their kids. Now you see old timers like Ron Harper and Pippen finally having the balls to promote their kids publicly. Bron taught these niggaz how to parent effectively.
