Dirk or Wade

2 Legends playing their final seasons.
Both have rings.
Both have had long successful runs


Who would you take if you had to pick?

Well, Dirk can barely walk anymore.

So I am taking Wade.

But I think you meant who has had the better career. And it is very close. But Dirk has the better overall resume. He had a longer window near the top of the NBA summit.

Obviously I am talking about the whole career lol

Wade. Played both sides of the ball, Dirk was just a scorer.

Yeah. I do think Wade was better at his apex for that reason.

But he really only had like 3-4 years as an absolute superstar. Dirk was on top longer.

Wade because of 2006-Jordanesque run

2006 Wade is probably the closest run to a Jordan type run ever

Maybe but Kobe was closer.

This.

It's Dorian though....

Kobe was closer overall but he didn't have a post season run like Wade in 2006 IMO. Heat were down 0-2 and Wade went "Jordan" after that. It was almost watching a recreation of what Jordan did in the 90s

Wade kind of fell off after 2006 with a brief peak 2009 run

Wade had 2004-2011.

Wade had 2004-2011.

2006 - 2011 maybe.

Not 2004.

Not 2004.

Comprimise.

2005-2011.

 

[DJ]

27, 7, and 6 starting in the 2005-2006 season.


Screams superstar.

 

[tlance]

Comprimise.

2005-2011.

If by 2005 you mean like the start of the 2006 season then maybe. But even then. I think his coming out party was the playoff run in '06.

2005 was his second season.

His game hit a new level in 2006.

If Wade was a superstar then, there are at least 12 superstars in the NBA today.

His 3rd season was when he posted 27, 7, and 6 n the reg season.

I got to go with Dirk, there had never been a player like him before.

Dirk changed the game in multiple ways. He changed how the league viewed European players and changed the way big men play.
