Do you even realize what prime Dwyane Wade was? It's a shame he has cut his career/prime short in college by rushing into a short term surgery, but at his best, Dwyane Wade was a clear top 5 player in the league. Ray Allen was never that, and as exciting and good as Allen Iverson was, his career high in FG% is lower than Dwyane Wade's worst season (his rookie year). Not an end all be all, but it's pretty telling.

This is a cherry-picking argument.  Allen most definitely was top 5 in the league at his prime.  Every Iverson hater states Iverson's FG% as some sort of truth that he sucked.  He went to the Finals with Keon Clark and Eric Snow.

I never said Allen Iverson sucked, I was using it to elevate Wade, who at a point in time had a legitimate argument to be recognized as the best player in the NBA, an NBA that had LeBron James.

In Wade's last year, he was 5th in the league in scoring, 10th in assists, 4th in steal percentage, and 2nd in PER. The year before that, he was the scoring champion, at 30ppg


Dwyane was better than AI, as a passer, on ball defender, and shooter.
