Comments on: Where Does the D-Wade we’ve seen in Beijing rank among NBA twos? http://dimemag.com/2008/08/where-does-the-d-wade-weve-seen-in-beijing-rank-among-nba-twos/ Dime is your daily source for NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, NBA Videos and Sneakers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:13:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Big Sneezy http://dimemag.com/2008/08/where-does-the-d-wade-weve-seen-in-beijing-rank-among-nba-twos/comment-page-2/#comment-91797 Big Sneezy Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:21:52 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=3090#comment-91797 D-Wade is right there with Kobe, but he's not getting wins so he takes the #2 slot. T-Mac stinks right now and goes to the bottom of the list, but still in the top 10. Iverson is looking like he'll have a nice season and may quietly challenge Kobe and D-Wade at the top of the list. Manu is right up near the top when healthy, but he ain't been playing so I'd move Brandon Roy up ahead of Joe Johnson and Manu at this point.

Kobe 2. D-Wade 3. T-Mac (when healthy) 4. Manu 5. Roy 6. JJ 7. Redd 8. Ray 9. AI 10. Rip The only reason AI is so low is because he really plays the 1 but I put him on there anyways. Wade will remain behind Kobe until he proves that he can stay healthy throughout the entire season and lead his team back to contention. TMac has as much talent as anyone on this list but he hasnt been 100% in a long long time. The sleeper on this list is Roy he does everything and does it well. Roy may not be as flashy as Kobe, Wade, and TMac but there arent any style points given out in the NBA so who cares. VC probably should be on this list but what has he done lately... everyone on this list has passed him by. My list as of right now…
1. Kobe
2. D-Wade
3. T-Mac (when healthy)
4. Manu
5. Roy
6. JJ
7. Redd
8. Ray
9. AI
10. Rip

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:43:44 +0000 http://dimemag.com/?p=3090#comment-63697 Oh I forgot my list.... Kobe (I can't stand the guy, but can't take away from how great he played this season) Dwade (I am going to give DWade the slightest edge over Iverson based off of what he is doing in the Olympics, but he needs to pick it up for his team, his team was hands down one of the worst in the league.) Iverson (People continue to hate on him, but what else is new. Dude continues to do his thing) T-Mac (I love the heart he showed in this seasons playoffs) Ginobli (the Spurs are my team, but I can't put Manu ahead of players that have a history of carring their teams on their backs continuously) The rest of my list goes exactly like DIME has theirs. Oh I forgot my list….

They are all still productive players but taking more of a back seat on their teams. In 2 years this list. Will only have Kobe Roy wade and Manu" I have to disagree. If we are going by age or who is supposidly on the "decline", then that would mean that Kobe won't be at the top of that list in two years either. I think people forget that Kobe came in the league in 96' like a lot of people on that list as well...which means that he has just as many miles on him as all of those other players do. Do I think he will decline rapidly, no..but if we are going by your logic then that means he won't be on the lists as well. I think AI, T-Mac and Rip are fine. If you even watched Denver this year then you would know that Iverson was leading the Nuggets team in the major catagories (ppg, assists, steals, minutes), his numbers are ridiculous and if the dude was still on the Sixers and not sharing a team with another dominate scorer, he would probably still be lighting the league up for 40 pts a night, but he has shown that he has the ability to at least adjust his game accordingly and put up the big numbers when he has to for his team. I have a sense that Iverson will probably retire somewhere close to what he's playing like now. T-Mac's progress has more to do with injuries then anything else, but when healthy the guy is a beast and this season in the playoffs showed a lot of heart. Rip seems to be playing perfectly fine as well. So I don't see any problem with those guys at all. August 15th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

Kobe Bryant - a healthy Kobe shares this spot with no one. 1b. Dwayne Wade - when he doesn't have to be the main distributor he is a beast. 2. Manu Ginobili - simply put...he gets rings. 3. Tracy McGrady - put money on him to get outta the first round, his numbers should rise with Artest being their to be the enforcer. 4. Brandon Roy - waiting for the move to point guard but dude is nice. 5. Allen Iverson - Look at his numbers, 26, 7 and 2 with only 2 t/o's. 6. Rip Hamilton - product of a sweet stroke and a offense geared around him shooting 15 footers. 7. Joe Johnson - This season we should either see him skyrocket this list or freefall. 8. Vince Carter - he had a good year last year but the Nets suck. I hope he gets traded to a winner so he can show what he has left in the tank. 9. Michael Redd - he can still shoot it and now he has a slightly better team in the East. 10. Kevin Martin - I think he might surprise some people, this dude can shoot. Whether or not he stays healthy...well... honorable mention - OJ Mayo (he has the green light and a good b-ball IQ) honorable mention - Jerryd Bayless (we'll see by midseason) 1a.

Whats will all the hating on Vince Carter? Over the last couple of days I have heard people say that the windmill alley oop Dwayne Wade cought a few weeks back might be the most impressive dunk they have ever seen. Who ever thinks that needs to youtube some Team USA 2000 Olympic moments. Vince Carter hands down the greatest dunker ever. Its not just the Kind of dunks he does its the way he does them. VC has the sickest windmill dunk ever. Nobody goes full extension on a windmill like Vince. Youtube that shit for real. Take it easy on Vince fellas. Hoops don't last forever. Kobe is number 1 Flash is definitely back The rest don't really matter. VC is still nice. Ya'll need to stop hating and just be grateful you got to see that motherfucker clear a 7 footer of a steal to steps in a game. First post ever fellas but I read smack everyday.
