dirk since dirk won both times they went head to head in the finals
Both have led teams to finals wins. Wade did it with a team of mostly over the hill stars. Dirk did it with a team full of choking pussies (Marion,jet, Peja).

the prime wade would've been nothing more special than a glorified barbosa w/o whistles imho. 's game changed alot over these years as he developed a consistent jumpshooting skill to compensate for the loss of speed. the prime wade was fast like light and even though his mid-long range shooting was not very good by a SG's standard, he could get the the points at the line. the prime wade was flawed and he was too dependent on refs calls, but it doesn't mean he was a flopper or , just threw himself at the basket more often than other guards and he was good at drawing fouls. the current wade is a totally different player and it's hard to say which wade is better, the 06' version or the current one.
06' dirk was the best of him and he NEARLY won the NBA championship that year w/o much support from his teammates, and he was easily the better player than either one tbh. it's a nightmare for defenders when you have to confront a 7 footer who can shoot 40%+ behind the 3pt line tbh, son of a avery just wasted dirk's best years imho
Tough calls, can't go wrong either way, but i choose Dirk, he can get it done without relying too much of food stamps by the zebras.
Dirk's best year is 2009 imo. He didn't lose his lift and quickness yet, and started attacking the rim like a man.
I'd take Dirk. Wade is a great player, but elite shooting guards are not exactly rare. Dirk is one of kind.
Was that the year he on the spurs and josh Howard put up 28 on a bum ankle and when hollins tbagged duncan
He actually didn't play well against the Spurs, but that was because of the Crystal Taylor going oncan't blame him
He was ridiculous in the regular season and in the Denver series imo. If it wasn't for the officiating I think Dirk could've single handedly beaten the Nuggets
He later put up 34/12 iirc against the nuggets defendersHe actually didn't play well against the Spurs, but that was because of the Crystal Taylor going on

Birdman and Kmart getting raped
Wade 2008-2009 if I'm choosing for one year.

Equivalent of Wade's game 3 vs Dallas, except without the officiating help
Dirk tbh
D-Wade easy (I know I know). Prime Wade overachieved. Prime Dirk underachieved and choked. Always respected the dude, but it's only in the last 3 years that I've been sold on Dirk's toughness. Before that he was mentally fragile and Wade the exact opposite.
God that was nasty.
Wash.
Dirk because he doesn't need free throws to win games in the Finals. Just sayin'. Besides, Dirk wasn't trying to be anyone but Dirk. Wade was trying to be Jordan in 2006. Stern and his ass minions thought it would be a great idea to make Wade the next Jordan. How did that work out? Wade's ty Heat got swept in the first round in 2007 and did not get out of the first round until he started dating Lebron. Dirk was the main man. Can't say the same about Wade.
i miss the 11 finals run. dirk went ing god mode..
You were three years late, tbh
09 Dirk wouldn't have left game 3 06 happen.
Dirk started attacking the hoop heavily the year Nash left.
He developed a serious post game in 09.
So you both are right in a way.
Prime dirk no doubt...Still have flashbacks from the 06 wcsf of dirk knocking down all kinds of crazy shots
Dirk.
Dirk helped lead Dallas to an impressive and sustained level of elite play for like a decade with varying degrees of talent on his teams in the Western Conference during a decade dominated by the Spurs and Lakers, and to a lesser extent other really good to great teams in many of those years, like Sacramento, Portland, and Phoenix. Wade only helped his team reach great team success in a weak Eastern Conference when he had guys like Shaq and LeBron. And the two les he had are at least qualified first by questionable officiating in 2006 and the fact he was a second banana to LeBron last season. While Wade is still a great player, even in his own era, there were comparable players like Kobe, T-Mac, Vince, Iverson. But the only comparable player to Dirk is HOFer, Larry Bird. Dirk is unique. And he has been greater in terms of consistency and longevity.
I'd take prime Dirk over prime Wade 10 times out of 10 times.
