Dwyane Wade 40 pts,11 ast,5 blk,4 stl, season 2006/07 heat vs lakers

[@zenmaster5250]

Wade is so fast in his prime his reaction is so quick he easily breaks down his defender thats why they have no choice but to foul wade and the reason why wade gets to the line alot.

[@giancarlocorrell5893]

Virtually UNSTOPPABLE. It would have been a gift to watch wade at this form progress through his career. Wish he would have avoided that injury. He was the league's best playmaker and on route to becoming the GOAT. That's how good and how much potential he had!

[@comedian5264]

Blade Anthony no he wasnt, Garnett, Duncan, Shaq and Lebron were all better.

[@princekelvin6476]

CallMeWade. D wade was never about to be the goat lol maybe one of the best to ever play the game but not goat level

[@shoroku1101]

If d Wade had stayed healthy and his team before meeting Lebron won in 05 as well as 06 (and they would’ve if not for injury)... then he’s got 4. Imagine if Lebron didn’t choke in 2011. Then he’s got 5 with 3 finals mvps. All of a sudden he’s well past Kobe peak for peak and were only talking Lebron Wade and Jordan. Period. Circumstance has a lot to do with legacy. Wade had the talent tho

Wade was winning MVP that year if not for the shoulder injury. As great as he was in '08-'09 I think he was even better in '06-'07 before getting hurt. Completely unstoppable.

[@Amjbmcg]

Pre-injury he was averaging - 28.8ppg on 50.6% eFG and 81.6% FT (drawing a massive 11 FT's a game!) AND - 7.9apg (40.4% AST - this is around what Magic Johnson produced) - 2.1spg and 1.3bpg. Incredible. Really efficient high volume scoring, amazing playmaking and great defense. The 2nd greatest peak 2 guard.

[@razkable]

Jarhtims the 06-07 heat had injury problems but man I still say if they didn't play Chicago in 2007 they repeat...Chicago was the one team wade struggled against all season from 2004-2008 basically because of deng and hinrich defense and ben walalce and Tyson chandlers defense on shaq....other than the spurs no other team could guard Miami besides the bulls and they were a little older...adding a young energy guy like dorrel wright who didn't get minutes off the bench or someone else who was young could have made them better but they chose to stick with old guys like Alonzo and payton and walker and Williams playing major minutes it bit them in the end...shaq wade posey walker haslem Williams is a great starting 6 though lol

[@Theterminato2013]

I'm not sure if pre injury 06-07 Wade was better than 08-09 Wade. But I do say pre injury 06-07 Wade was better than 09-10 Wade.

[@docjonski2257]

Terminato92 I would be sure that Kobe won't appreciate you making an excuse for his shortcoming and not giving credit to Wade. Kobe is great not just as a player but also because of his competitiveness and no nonsense attitude so I believe with or without flu he sees the competition as fair.

Been saying the same things for years. It's very evident in their last career games. Kobe had a 60 point game and Wade had a triple double

[@Theterminato2013]

@@TheKos2Kos So triple doubles are more impactful than taking the game over by scoring at will and leading ur team to victory? I guess according to your logic, Russell Westbrook is the GOAT because he averaged a triple double 4 times in his career.

[@BoatDoctorRX]

​@@Theterminato2013It depends on how efficient the 60 points were. Kobe's were very inefficient.

Have to watch this twice and looked closely because I thought the video was edited to "fast-forward", coz that bad man Wade was moving fast as flash!!! I realized then that he was just freakin fast compared to a prime Kobe and even compared to prime Westbrook and prime D-Rose, Wade is a whole different level of fast and efficiency compared to the fastest NBA players i've seen!

[@Theterminato2013]

Your right about those 2. Iverson dropped 41 points on Kobe during the 1999 lockout season. As a huge Kobe fan, I would say that prime Iverson and Wade gave Kobe the most trouble due how insanely quick they were.

[@tangaraspeedgoda7436]

Dwade is really on a different level compared to so called superstars today. He barely needs a screen to score (Both he and Kobe). And when they do, the screens are legit, unlike the teams today especially the warriors, which as we all can see, are obviously illegal screens. Blatant moving screens in the referees' faces. SMH.

[@ericgonzalez3317]

poor wade :( if he only knew how he was gonna get that shoulder injury soon that season and almost everyone on the team was gonna basically abandon him.. this was his 4th year with a ring and finals mvp under his belt already.. Beast

[@TheKos2Kos]

The shoulder surgery was not his issue. You dont know his history. He has been on record saying that it was the surgical decision to remove his meniscus from his left jumping knee during college that shortened his prime. Today, sports medicine surgeons dont remove menisci if an athlete wants to have a long career. For example, westbrook had a similar issue and his surgeons repaired his meniscus instead of taking it out. The meniscus serves as a natural cushion for your knees

[@robertonova1]

wade 80% of the times they play OUT PLAYS kobe. It's just fact's.

[@rchamp247]

It’s the other way around. Kobe outplayed him 80% of the time in their meetings. Wade had a much better team back then & Kobe would still split the season series with him

[@thedirtybubble9613]

IMO, this version of Dwyane Wade before he dislocated his shoulder was better than LeBron was in 2006 or 2007. He was arguably the 2nd best player in the league behind Kobe those seasons. After what DWade did in the 2006 Finals, and how LeBron performed in the 2007 Finals, it was so evidently true. It's a shame that Wade left Miami though. It won't be the same not seeing him in a Heat uniform.

[@TheStatisfiedOne]

Matthew Earl Wade was never better then lebron. Because lebron didnt put up the same stats Doesnt mean he is not better however Wade was 2nd best for a long time, kobe was probably 3th best in the league at that time

[@beltoshrocanak1644]

Dave jahoer dwade was better in some years, especially on 2006. It was shown in his ability to lead a team in his THIRD year

[@BarstoolBlues33]

He was better than kobe...he's a much better playmaker.

[@californiabear5395]

Dave jahoer bro of course he was better than Lebron. At least for 3-4 years, it's media got Lbj balls in their mouth all the time, in part due to Nike billion dollar deal, and also old school players like Charles Barkleys aalways have hated on Wade. Not giving enough credit Nuthing to take away from Lbj, he gets his due, and for all the right reasons. But he relies on his indestructible body and size/strength Even in year one Wade was better than Lebron, if you watched the 2 playoff series, specially against pacer. In his only Second year in 05 he took the team to EFC had the same team piston on their knees, the same team that embarrassed Shaq Kobe 3 peat team 4-1 on the way to championship, and it took spurs 7 games to beat them. 3-2 up Wade had to miss game 6, played hurt in game 7 and lost by 2 points. And they actually let players play back than. Pistons D was also some else. Heat had every chance to beat the spurs as well. In his second year he he had good chances of winning championship. And heats ring was only healthy Wade years away, next year. I don't remember any player grew bigger as the the moment got bigger faster than Wade. Even Lebron/Kobe it took em some time to learn to win in playoffs Wade games like poetry in motion, finesse, better feel for the game, fundamentals only comparable to me Big Fundamentals himself, Duncan. Nuthin forced, Post game unmatched for the position. And never gets the credit of two way talent he is. Ask D Howard (blocked most time) b Lopez, other 7 footers, players. At one point not only he was all of the heat offense but also anchoring heat D as well. Took him 400 less games to pass former number 1 in blocks. For the size position. Even ppl say he doesn't have 3 point shot. They don't maybe watch Wade in playoffs, he has better percentage than Kobe , harden, and well above league average and not from a same sample size, there season where he taken 7, 3pt shots and knocked down around 40%. And 52% year b4 last. If u really watch basketball, or any sport for that matter don't always believe what media tells u. Also he only missed 1 playoff game out abt last 90 possible games. He's what # on Altime playoff scoring list. I hate it when they even try to compare James Haren. Only fair comparison for Wade and Kobe is Wade and Kobe. They are different breed, pedigree, love big moments. And only record harden be setting in close out games is for turnover 13 in a closeout game and 10 in another.

Definitely agree with you about kobe and lebron. But, Wade was not slowed by injuries. He has been on record saying that the bad surgical decision to remove his meniscus from his left jumping knee during college shortened his prime.

For example, westbrook had a similar issue and his surgeons repaired his meniscus instead of taking it out. The meniscus serves as a natural cushion for your knees. In Wade's case, It's a mistake to blame injuries instead of a bad medical decision for longevity. If had had complete ligament tears in his knees like Derrick rose or Livingston then I would agree with blaming injuries
