I love this. And then how he refuses to concede even a little ground. I was reading some Instagram comments last night. Fucking hilarious.
lmfao i know. it's still cracking me up. he's 100% serious too. he's still getting roasted.. lol.
I don't think he's better than D-Wade, by a decent margin. But, PP was pretty good. Here's both players through 16 seasons (the most D-Wade will play when he retires after this season). If you respect advanced metrics, PP has better shooting and rebounding numbers, better VORP, more Win Shares (WS), and the same WS/48mins. He was a pretty skilled offensive player and is probably close to top 50 all-time. (Of course, playoff Wade >>> playoff PP, and Wade's '09 season was one of the best statistical peaks ever.)
For sure. Paul Pierce is a beast. I personally don't think he's in the same class as Wade, but I think the real issue is how adamant he seems, in that he's better than Wade. I think that's why most people are roasting him. He made himself an easy target.
Wade & Pierce have very different styles on the court. Pierce reminds me more of a Harden-like scorer, I mean he was a very aggressive scorer. Wade penetrates & dishes etc, has no problem trying to get everyone involved. Plus he was a throwback SG, not settling for 3's but instead going in for mid-range jumpers. Wade is also a top defensive guard, he was a threat on both ends of the court. So I think comparing them stats-wise is tough.
Last night, when Wade was asked whether he'd try to beat Kobe's 60 in his last game, he kinda threw a jab at Kobe.. he said something like "that's not me. it's not how i play. i get my teammates involved. the only time i've scored more than 50 is when someone really pissed me off." lol.
Kobe's 60 was impressive though, I remember being shocked. I don't care how much you ballhog.. when you've had that many injuries and have been so beat up all season, and then drop 60, that's insane.
