Yes. As a rookie Wade grabbed the playoffs by the throat last postseason. There hasn't been a rookie that has done that since Tim Duncan vs. Utah.
Wade > Parker.
I think the number of scoring options in Miami nulls the PPG defferntial, Tony seems capable of dropping 25 a night when he and duncan are playing w/o Manu. as far as the all-star argument, i am fairly sure popularity with the fans should not be a factor in talent evaluation. Vince Carter was selected to the all-star game before he turned his game up a notch.
lol
he mann i thought it was gonbe you
You better come back with something stronger than that. If you pay attention to the NBA, you should have known who Duane Wade was before Shaq was there. He had a great rookie season!
He "has to play" with Duncan and Manu? Well let's just make it that Shaq and TD cancel each other out...You are saying his stats aren't as good just because he has Manu?
it might be a factor, sharing the ball, but I think based on the statistics Tony and Wade share the ball almost the same, meaning that might be a wash.
I don't think you will find anyone in the world who thinks Parker > Wade.
*Yuk. I feel like IceColdBrewski saying things like that*
Wade plays behind a dominant center.
Parker plays behind a center with no balls and a power forward that is moving farther and farther outside as each game goes by.
Wade is the better overall player, but I think Tony is the better point guard.
Dwayne is more of a two guard, imo.
As long as he gets the job done.
Not to denegrate the fabulous Wade but let him win something first or sustain his play over several season to call him a superstar. He probably will be someday but Parker at age 22 has already also accomplished a of a lot.
Also, how many games has Parker come up big in his career already vs. other great players? TP showed that when Duncan and Manu out he can score with the best of them.
Wade is better but the difference is not as much as some of you make it out to be! On the Herd talkshow recently the host was calling TP the most underrated player in the league as did Dupree in USA today this year!!
Tony would be absolutely unstoppable if he got the sideways rotation out of his jump shot.
He would be as good as Allen Iverson.
As it is, he is turning into a SUPERSTAR.
Wade is closer to being a SUPERSTAR right now because of his clutch game, but tony is on the way too.
Next year, if tony continues playing the way that he has been,he may be an all star STARTER.
That is how much his game has improved from season's start.
Tp is in the top ten for two consecutive weeks!!!
He seems to learn quite a lot from Ginobili.
Wade is better but the gap isn't that great. The major difference between them is that Wade has gotten more of a chance to develop as a guy who has to carry the team...Wade got that experience last year while Parker has never been asked to do that....in the brief glimpses we have gotten of Parker as the man I think he has aquitted himself fairly well.
I think Parker, though it may be a tad unpolished, has a better shot than Wade and is a better defender...Wade has size and uses it very well...
On Dream Job last night on the fact or fiction part SAS took the fact stand on that Manu is more important to the spurs than Wade to the heat.
Which would imply that its the opposite since he's always wrong.
Ducks, I had Dwayne Wade on my fantasy team last year so I followed him pretty closely...he was tearin it up as a rookie before Shaq ever got there...
"Wade is better but the gap isn't that great"
Wrong. Wade is superb clutch player (eg: Spurs@Heat, etc, etc), while yesterday, Tony's total disappearance in the second half, after a wonderful first half, and especially his absence in crunch time (he didn't shoot or drive once), showed why Wade is a much more effective, ballsy player.
I love Tony, but his disapperances really subtract from his results. He continues to improve dramatically (shooting aside), but he's not there, yet.
As with the crippled Spurs losses @PHX and @DET (both games were at the Spurs' fingertips in crunch time), the difference is both minuscle and huge. It's the difference between winning and losing, the between Championship and gone fishin.

Does this mean you'll be shifting the unmitigated hate to Tim for a while?
