<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The-Phenom @ Jan 30 2007, 03:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>As I was saying, IMO Kirk Hinrich is a better defender than Dwyane Wade but he never gets credit for it for what reason? I dont know. I believe Hinrich has done a terrific job over his career defensively against Wade especially in last years playoffs where he shot a pretty low shooting % in that round and more recently last Saturday Wade had 22 or 24 points and shot below 47%. Not too mention the lack of respect Kirk gets is rather obvious. I can't tell you how many times he gets called for a blocking foul off of a screen trying to fight through it or guarding the paint from the incoming driver, its just ridiculous, and if you watch alot of Bulls games you would see what I mean. I dont know what it is but Kirk has been in the league for 4 years now, you'd think the referees would show him some respect and stop getting rookie calls. While this may seem like it has nothing to do with defense, it really does. Alot of times he gets in foul trouble early and gets out of the flow of the game, Wade gets that respect from officials and he plays 40 mpg compared to Kirks 34 mpg.</div>Wade gets the respect on the offensive end. If you breath on him you get called a foul. I like Hinrich never said I didnt and im not down playing him. Im just sayin when Wade actually TRIES he is better then Hinrich. Id take Wade over Hinrich anyday on the defensive end when he actually tries. Wade primarly focuses on offenses.

Of course I would take Wade as a player but if we are strictly talking about defense, I give the nod to Kirk, maybe im bias, I dont know but it's what I truly think.
