Yea I don't think anyone anywhere in this thread was claiming Wade was a better shooter.

Conversely we have just been ignoring the fact that Steph Curry as an abysmal defender.

i dont understand it

i really dont

had he gone out east, he would've had to beat lebron just to get to the finals then what...ultimately lose to the warriors?

if he goes anywhere else in the west, then you have to fight the warriors just to get to the finals to possibly lose to the cavs?

im just not that invested b/c those same people would've loved for KD to sign to "their" team

faux outrage is still faux

Over/Under on how many more pages arguing Wade vs Curry. The line is 1 1/2.

Anyone have any interest in debating Lebron vs MJ? Olajuwon vs Shaq? Alien vs Predator?

Lebrin > MJ > Lebron

Mentioning Shaq in Olajuwon's presence means you should be BANT from the thread

Predator for the clicking noises.

Actually not quite true.

In the two years for each player I provided, Curry shot 50% and 49% overall from the field while Wade shot 49% and 48%.
Curry averaged 3.3 and 3.1 turnovers per game, while Wade averaged 3.3 and 3.4.

Wade made the All NBA defensive team (2nd team) in each of those two years while Curry did not and is viewed as average defensive player at best.

Pretty damn even if you ask me (perhaps slight edge to Wade because of the defense).

Their eFG% are wildly different.

Curry has a slightly better eFG% in one year, and a significantly better eFG% in the other year. On the other hand, Wade was significantly better in drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line in both years.

I know recency bias is strong, but looking at the overall numbers 2008-2010 Wade and 2014-2016 Curry are pretty damn even.

Wat. You don't understand why people would think it's a bitch move to blow a 3-1 lead to the Warriors and then join them that offseason after the Warriors had just set an NBA record for 73 wins?

You probably think playing on rookie mode in 2k is the same as all star, but I can't help you with that. Nobody is saying he doesn't have the right to do what he did, nobody said he did anything illegal, people just said he plays on rookie

aight, i'll be that guy

Golden state got rid of:

Festus (sp?)
Bogut
Barnes
Speights

THOSE dudes along with steph, draymong, Klay, etc...won 73 games

KD wasnt added to THAT team

Festus was great on Portland this year. My favorite part was CJ telling him to STFU during one of his pep talks.

Why should the team listen to the only player on the roster with a ring, and a member of the team that broke the record for most wins. What would that guy know about intensity and urgency?

Apparently @Reel moonlighting as Drtheopolis as well.

I don't know what it even means. I think you're saying the only reason those guys were in the finals was because of Klay/Steph/Dray but that goes against what you're arguing so I'm not sure you're thinking this through

No trap there seems to be pretty good evidence about what we said is true, you've still pushed anecdotal narratives, but I'm more interested in the Reel and Festivus thing now.
