Everyone agrees that D-Wade is the #3 2Guard of all time, right?

does anyone have another take?
i heard someone on espn today call him top 5 at the position and i'm like that doesn't sound right.
after mike and kobe, it's clearly d-wade.

Some might put Jerry West ahead of him. What hurts Wade in this discussion is the length of his prime, he was amazing from about 2005-2010. In 2006, in my opinion, the best player in the NBA wasn't Kobe or LeBron it was Wade. He was still great after he peaked but injuries really hurt his case for him to be considered top 2.

Harden needs a 2006 like NBA playoffs run to be in the convo. Till then its wade 3rd with drexler 4th.

logo was more of a combo guard than a straight up 2 though, right?

also dude who said Harden- quality trolling.

Somewhere from #3 - #5. Some would rank West and Gervin over him I'm sure.

If you're going to have West as a combo guard then just rank all guards. Right now I'd put him 4th behind MJ, Kobe and the Logo.

4th for me.
MJ/Kobe/Harden. and if West is seen as a 2guard I would say 5th.

Wade was a better passer, a better defender, and had a much higher peak. The only edges Kobe has are longevity and better teammates.

What has Harden done to be that high on all time career list? He's literally thousands behind Wade on numbers. And ahead of West?

his run as a Rocket is better than anyone else. he's going on his 2nd MVP with a season attributed to anyone else, with context of the team injury/regression without and his actual play, would be a top 5 is not the greatest season of all time. totals mean little to me. comparatively nothing. neither have arguments that they were actually better players as Rockets Harden.

Appreciate the love, but no way Harden is that high, and Harden still got like 7-8 years left in his career so now is not the time to do this.

When it comes to top 10, rings do matter whether you think it's fair or not. Sorry Barkley, Malone, Stockton, and vice versa for Dirk, Piece, Drexler. If a guy averaging 50ppg with 5 scoring title but no rings, sorry, you won't be as high. Wade is this high up the list, his 3 rings are big deal.

Wade is top 4 SG. 3 or 4, depending on how you view West. We take another look on Harden in at least 5 years time.

Kobe had a much better career, but Kobe got shut down by a couple of defenses that Wade absolutely destroyed, like the Pistons for instance. Although admittedly Manu also destroyed those same defenses, so I think it's more of a testament of Kobe's inability to adapt his game to changing defensive schemes.
