Sad in 2015 we still get comments like that. Did you happen to see any of his individual attributes?

One guy played with Shaq against Dallas, and the other guy played with larry Hughes against Duncan's Spurs at their peak.

93 for Wade is really, really good by 2K16 standards. That's basically next tier after prime kareem/Russell/shaq/Kobe/Magic/Bird/jordan/Lebron. It's on the next tier of all time greats, which is where he belongs.

RS - 27.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 6.7 apg on 49.5%FG/17.1%3PT/78.3%FT
P/O - 28.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 5.7 apg on 49.7%FG/37.8%3PT/80.8%FT
Finals: 34.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 3.8 apg on 46.8%FG/27.3%FT/77.3%FG

Finals MVP, 2nd team All Nba, top 6 Finals performance ever

'07 LeBron:
RS - 27.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 6 apg on 47.6%FG/31.9%3PT/69.8%FT
P/O - 25.1 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 8 apg on 41.6%FG/28%3PT/75.5%FT
Finals: 22 ppg, 7 rpg, 6.8 apg on 35.6%FG/20%FT/69%FT

2nd team All Nba, one of the worst Finals performances ever.

... Go ahead and tell me '07 LeBron > '06 Wade. Nothing is stopping you.

It seems like they are taking into account the team success of a given year to boost or lower the overall for classic players. I know that a lot of people for some reason perceive the post baseball Jordan to be the GOAT Mike, but IMO the 87-92 Mike is the better player by quite a bit.

Oh Shaq, right?

Finals: 13.7 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 0.8 bpg on 60.7%FG/29.2%FT

I'm not trying to diminish Shaq's role on that team but that wasn't the Prime Shaq that Kobe had. Dude had two single digit games in that Finals vs Dallas.

Without shaq miami never even makes into the finals to play dallas in 2006, so the point is moot. Lebron took a terrible team to the finals pretty much by himself..

Even 06 shaq was still getting tons of defensive attention.

Well, he was asked to do a lot more from 87-91 and 92-93 the pace of play was still way faster than 96-98.

I don't think jordan 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0 were miles better or worse from each other, but they certainly had very different strengths. I can understand arguments for all three versions, honestly. Really no bad answer.

and if Wade wasn't on the '06 Heat, they don't make the Finals either. Wade was a bigger piece to that team. He was the alpha, Shaq was the sidekick.

Also, I credit LeBron for taking that team to the Finals but you forget one little thing:

- bet a 41-41 without their two top players (Arena and Butler)
- bet the 41-41 Nets
- bet the 53-29 Pistons who lost Big Ben in the offseason (DET beat them in '06 w/ Ben)

That, along with 2002, were the two worst Eastern Conferences in history. At least Wade had to go through the 49 win Nets (4th ranked defense) and the 64 league best win Pistons (5th best defense) who actually had the DPOY.

Lastly, the Spurs bet the Cavs by an average margin of 6 ppg with LeBron missing all those shots. Worst part is LeBron went 19-53 (35.8%FG) from the field in the last two games yet the Spurs won by a combined 4 points.

Again, the point stands that lebron had to do way, way more than Wade did during those seasons, and lebron basically ran out of gas like he didn't against golden state this year. The finals numbers are way skewed because of that.

Wade on the 2007 Cavs does not make the finals. Lebron on the 2006 heat probably still wins the championship.

Of course Wade was the best player on the 06 heat, and his rating reflects that. He simply had a way better supporting cast than Lebron did. Wade at no point in his career was ever the NBA's best player. Lebron has been at the top probably since 2007.

# 71 Kstat @ 09/19/15 08:35 PM

Another way of looking at it: Wade is the highest rated player in the game to never have won an MVP. If that's not respect in your book, I think you're overreaching.

06 Payton and 06 Pippen are right behind him with 92s.

Again, you're going based off of hypotheticals. I'm going based off of WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. There's no "if LeBron was on this team". Wade put on one of the best P/O runs ever and LeBron didn't. Simple as that. Wade had a better team but he also faced greater competition.

Also, Wade never being the Nba's "best player" is your opinion. It's not a fact. Personally, I have Wade as #1 for '06 and '09 but that's just me. One last question, you previously stated that 93 is a good overall for Wade but he's a tier below Kobe, LeBron, e.t.c. So would you agree '01 Iverson > '06 Wade by that logic?

# 74 juicey79 @ 09/19/15 08:53 PM

They got van excel but no sheed...also Eric snow and no sheed...I guess CAP will be needed

# 75 hoi514 @ 09/19/15 09:15 PM

finally they put Nick the Quick back in the game! Also Dr J and Kareem is back!

# 76 cbpo @ 09/19/15 09:43 PM

Definitely alot better out of the box than any other year.
Still some things that I can already see will need changing though.

I knew middleton's defense would be underrated when I saw his rating, his perimeter defense is only a C+ despite him being the 2nd best wing defender last year barely to tony allen.

Also noticed the standing 3 pt ratings aren't really adjusted for volume. So like D-mo and Lamarcus Aldridge are in the 80's/ the same as harden etc. Only other problem I really see

I think there's a good argument that he's just slightly better, yes. One guy carried his team for an entire season plus playoffs to the point he won MVP and put up multiple 50+ point games in the conference finals and dropped 49 on one of the most dominant teams ever in the finals.

As stated before, Wade being the best non-MVP ever is a really good place for him to be and I could get on board with that. That's where he's at in the game. He's even better than some guys that have won MVPs (like Nash). Iverson in 2001 and LeBron in 2007 were the closest things I've ever seen to one guy taking a team to the finals by himself. Those are really special performances, not just for one game or one series, but for an entire season.

I don't think at any point he was ever more capable or dominant than LeBron or Kobe at their best. There's nothing wrong with that.

Yea I am not sure how Rubio got that 3PT rating when he only made 44 and shot 33%

True. In other words 87-93 Mike= athleticism, 95-98 Mike= intangibles
