Who do you think is better..........

Postby ShAuN on Tue Aug 23, 2005 11:51 am

I was just wondering who do you guys think is better. Not team but player.

Dwyane Wade

OR

Tracy McGrady

I say Wade because he shot 478% averaged 24.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, and 6.8 APG. And this is only his 2nd NBA Season. I know Tmac is really good, but I think Wade is more affective and no one can block him. And Wade is a much much better defender than TMac

Why is Wade a much better defender than Tmac? Because he has more steals per game?

at this time, i would say t-mac. no, tmac is as good as wade on defense. why? did you see last year's playoff? t-mac can go off and score points really quick and shoot wherever he wants. although wade is pretty good as shooting, i still think t-mac is much better shooter. if it wasn't for yao's inconsistency, they would have advanced to the second round.

tmac

Can Wade hit outside shots? Can he shoot 3s? Can he score 13 in 35sec? Can he play PG/SG/SF/PF ?
T-mac can

He has proven himself as a good nba player individually. Wade is still young, plus his team support has been pretty good.

I agree with Amphatoast, except for the PF. He can't do diddly squat at the PF position, and I don't think he ever played at that position.

I'm just buggin ya ;)

That being said, I'd give it to T-Mac since he's more reliable to hit the big shots, experience, and versitality, but I'd rather have Wade on my team simply because he's got nowhere to go but grow.

He probably meant when T-Mac shut Dirk down defensively in the playoffs.

Its terrible to debate on this one. Like Anthony15 said, wade is a rising star and tmac is already a proven superstar. Thats it. Now please dont start to base it in playoff success coz imo houston is the place where hes surrounded with good players for the first time in his career.

Easy answer, T-Mac. T-Mac is an all around player. He can do everything. As for Wade, he cannot shoot 3s, he is not as aggressive on the board as T-Mac. Different in sizes, T-Mac can guard taller players like Dirk. This is not a good comparison between these 2 players. I think it should be T-Mac or Kobe instead.

Can he score 13 in 35sec?


Can T-Mac actually do it more than once? Fluke.

^^That was a stupid argument anyway.
I think T-Mac is better too, but can he block Amare and shoot it from 3/4 of the court in 3.958469 seconds?

Reggie Miller 8 points in 9 seconds in the East finals vs. NY, Larry Bird 7 points in 22 seconds. And those were actually in important games. I'm sure it's happened more times than that aswell. Hell, in the Australian league we had a guy (Tony Jensen) score 9 points in 6 seconds.
