JVG said DWade is the top 2 or 3 two guards of all time? You agree with that?

    The jlprk, in his dignity, does not enjoy repeating his hilarious jokes, grasshopper. He said he's one of the top 3 FLOPS.

    What ever happened to fining players for flopping?

    He's not better than Drexler either.

    If we're talking top guards, not top floppers, there are more that are ahead of Wade:

    John Stockton
    Magic Johnson
    Clyde Drexler
    Oscar Robertson
    Bob Cousy

    Not sure about Reggie and Allen. Reggie was pretty awesome though. 93-95 Miller was my favorite player ever.

    Drexler was better than DWade? Maybe on the defensive end of the floor.

    Wade is a lot better than Drexler on D (outside of the occasional flop). If Drexler was better then Wade then it would be on O. I think it is close but I think Wade is all-around better. He isn't top 2 or 3 though.

    He's not top 2-3, but he's statistically close to West, better than Magic, etc.

    I think he deserved serious consideration for MVP several seasons. He's also a better defender than many of the greats.

    Fwiw

    Neither of whom were 'two guards' in their best years. This conversations is about '2' guards.

    Here's a list.

    Jordan
    Kobe Bryant
    Earl Monroe
    George Gervin
    Clyde Drexler

    I'd put Wade in the same category a Monroe/Gervin/Drexler ... so Top 3 isn't out of the realm of debate, IMO.

    Love Drexler but disagree with that and I am in my 30's.

    He's definitely top 200-300 SGs. Mitch Richmond would have him for dinner, and want Rubio for dessert.
