Better in their prime: Dwyane Wade or James Harden?

Who has had a better career in your opinion? Who are you taking (in their prime) to lead your team? I know Wade has the rings and is a better defender but honestly I would take 17-18 or 18-19 Harden over any version of Wade.

It's hard to say b/c 2019 Harden is playing under different rules than prime Wade.
They both rely way too much on the whistle though so frick em both.

I’ll take the guy who doesn’t disappear in the playoffs

No question you take Harden now because Wade couldn’t shoot 3s and spread the floor.
Posted on 12/14/19 at 11:10 am to PhillyFan1994
harden probably hasn’t even peaked yet and his best is in a different tier from wades best. Hardens statistical peak is better than pretty much anyones outside of lebron and Jordan.

He has peaked. Come on now... I would take Harden over Wade at any point. Harden is doing things I haven't seen since MJ. On offense anyway.

how can you say he peaked when he gets better every year? When he has a year worse than the prior then you could say that he has peaked. I haven’t seen any signs that he won’t be even better next year than he is right now.

Harden and it’s not close. Wade never made past the first round of the playoffs when he was the best player on his team.

I dont know if I agree with that. I think he was the best on his team in 06 when they won the championship with Shaq. But I agree Harden over Wade.

Whatever..... BTW do you know where he lives?????

If you want someone to bring you to the conference finals and choke then Harden is your man.
Posted on 12/14/19 at 12:20 pm to PhillyFan1994
Ummmm I’ll take the guy who led multiple teams to Championships and played at an elite level on BOTH sides of the floor.
Posted on 12/14/19 at 12:20 pm to PhillyFan1994
I’ll take the guy who played all NBA level defense

Harden is having possibly the best NBA season of all time and the haters are out in full force.
Harden even had 3 blocks last night

How is this even a question? Wayde 10/10

Its a tougher question than it seems on the surface. Without really thinking about it, the answer would obviously be Harden. But, Wade is a better leader IMO and he had a God Mode gear that when he hit that he could play with anyone in the history of the game. I would take Harden, but its close.

Harden and it’s not close. Wade needed Shaq and then LeBron to get a ring.
