Wade has become increasingly underrated on the PC forum.

This isn't really close. Wade is like 2 tiers better than Lillard.

He appears to be underrated by the OP, not the PC forum. He's leading the poll 27-1 and most have considered the comparison ludicrous.

As soon as 10+ years of post-peak hit, that's it. Forget about it.

Props to the OP though. I knew immediately but was interested in what the success rate of bites would be. 90% success rate is hard to argue with and quite frankly surprising.

Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

2005 Dwyane Wade pre-injury in the ‘05 playoffs (IA per 75):

•) 28.6 points
•) 6.3 rebounds
•) 7.0 assists (5.5 morey assists)
•) 1.3 bad pass tov.
•) 1.3 steals
•) 1.3 blocks
•) +4.6 opp. adjusted rTS%
•) Heat had a +2.8 rORtg w/ Wade on-court

Not sure Lillard has ever done anything on this level on his way to a Conference Finals

He appears to be underrated by the OP, not the PC forum. He's leading the poll 27-1 and most have considered the comparison ludicrous.


There is a small group that likes to downplay Wade to boost LeBron though.

Not a thread in good faith either way.

I'm pretty sure Wade's knees downplayed Wade.

Spring 2005 to February 2007 Wade was the best player in the world. Arguments can be made for certain players being as good but there's not much of an argument for anyone being better over that stretch.

I haven't even provided an evaluation of Wade in my post. I'm aware of Wade's injury history.
