Ok. And I’m not denying Pippen’s greatness. But everyone seems to want to deny Wade’s greatness. Dude was a stud and LBJ got to play with Wade during Wade’s prime.

Wade was great the year Lebron choked and froze up against the Mavericks. Wade was a very good player the year they won their first title against the Thunder. Wade was a fricking minus the next year in the playoffs when they beat the Spurs. His knees were done, he wasn't in shape, he couldn't shoot. Three straight title runs were too much for his body to bear. And then the year they lost to the Spurs...my god. He couldn't even dribble.
Anyone who tries to dispute didn't actually watch those Heat title runs, or at least didn't watch them intently, and is just throwing Wade's name around as if every year Wade played he was prime 09 D Wade.

I posted before, but Wade vs Pippen is an interesting comparison. I looked at VORP to try to see both offense and D because I think Wade is better on offense and Pippen better on D.
Wade had higher peaks, which were before LeBron came. He was in a slow decline when LeBron showed up.
Pippen had lower peaks but was actually consistently better during the Bulls championship runs. You can argue Pippen was more of an asset during their respective duo days.
It makes sense to the extent that prime Wade was about getting to the rim and his decline pretty much tracks his athletic peak. Pippen brought more across the board, so his game sustained longer than the explosive scorer.
