Very early in his career but it sure looks like it right now. He might be strongest guard ever to play game.

Can you imaging comparing a guy like Stockton to this stud?? Common


If Wade stays injury free he will go down as the second greatest any type guard next to Jordan.

I know real early here but just projecting

Magic could have both of those players in bold right now matched with TRacy McGrady, but they went the other direction with trading McGrady for Steve Francis & Cutino Mobley and drafting 19 year old rookie Dwight Howard who they took with the 1st pick and WILL BE Better than Okafor eventually..........

i watch alot of miami heat games and i'm more and more amazed every time i see him.

we are seeing something special here.

like i said in your other thread, i think he is already better than iverson.

i'll bet if asked gm's around the league who they would want to start a team with right now , you would here wade, lebron and amare stoudemire's names first. duncan has a few good years left too..

Wade is amazing, he has to do it as long as Iverson though and I think he will

Wade much bigger also

Yes Wade is developing into something real special like Lebron

wade is great, but every few years we have to hear the same thing about the next greatest player. it was vince carter, then it was kobe, then it was mcgrady, now its lebron and wade. All of these guys are great. but the ones that win titles will be considered the greatest of all time.

As long as the NBA has guaranteed contracts... The players have no motivation to perform except in the last year of their contract.

Guaranteed contracts ruined the sport. A player can sign 6 years for xx million dollars and never have to improve or give a good effort because they are guaranteed the money.

Imagine it... You go to become an underwriter at some bank and they tell you "You must view 40 applications a day to maintain a satisfactory employee rating and to maintain employment"

You would....because you have to. Now...imagine if you go to that company and they offer you $250,000 for 4 years... And they say "We expect that you work 40 applications per day" But...even if you don't... Even if you fake an injury to miss a few games, or if you really tank it and only perform at 10% of what was expected of you... You still get your money.

Then...in the last year of your contract you exceed expectations and cash in on another long term lucrative deal.

It ruined the league ...period.

jordan and duncan are the only 2 players of the 90's who looked like they would have played for free.

i dont know that duncan's the 2nd greatest player. i do have a hard time coming up with more names other than , magic, larry, russell, jordan and kareem as players who would be considered as greater.

i would have to say duncan has put himself in the top 6 or 7 alltime.

Just let it go J~Man............. Let it go......... LOL
JJ wants people to bite..........and you've bitten!:>Grin>

Cmon JJ, any guard that gets to team with Shaq should never be judged at all until we see what he's like without Shaq.....ala Kobe Bryant who's struggling from the field this year.
