Harden or Kobe?

I like the cut of his jib.

Any list that doesn't include Wade is a winner in my book. I think this thread is a case closed.

I see.

How can you say that‽‽‽ Wade is the ultimate warrior! He's the Black Knight of the NBA. Except he just doesn't sit around after his limbs are cut off, he just gets back up keeps going! He's hardcore, man!

[R-Star]

True story EH. Wade is always super duper injured. It just only comes out when he has a terrible game and is shut down. That's the only time he shares with everyone that hes been nursing an injury that is way worse than any NBA player has ever faced before, but hes going to soldier on, because hes a warrior.


He's like Iverson was, except he's a pussy and half his injuries are fake excuses.

How does a comparison thread with such an obvious answer have this many responses...

R-Star, in fairness, the guy has said all summer and through training camp that he won't be all the way back from his knee surgery until February or March. The little foot injuries and shit are annoying, but knee surgery is pretty legit.

Its Wade man. Why didn't they just rest him for longer then? He's always complaining about some sort of crazy injury. And maybe its just me, but I've never heard a doctor say "your knee isn't 100% yet, you need to play about 4 months of professional basketball and then it should be back to full strength."


Maybe I'm wrong. But we've all seen this song and dance from him before. At this point I just attribute it to him pre planning excuses for his post season ghost show.

[Jace]

Obviously he's cleared to play, if I remember correctly they were probably saying something about strength in the quad and all that stuff. He probably could've sat out longer, but he knows everyone thinks he's always hurt, and probably didn't want to start the season in a suit. I don't know, I'm just relaying what the team has been saying about him since summertime.

[R-Star]

No worries, I'm not looking to argue over it. Anything I would say is just my personal opinion. I haven't followed the injury so its not like I have any facts to back up what I'm saying. I just find him to be "that guy" who always uses injuries as an excuse when he has an off night or two. Then all the sudden he bounces back and plays a vintage Wade game and dominates on both ends of the floor, and then he has another off game or two and its "Yep, my knee is hardly hanging together. Its a credit to my toughness that I'm even playing."

[Jace]

I feel ya. I think he is pretty legitimately banged up a lot of the time, but he's good enough to play around it when he wants to play smart. Lately he hasn't gone that direction, though. It's like he's content to embarrass himself as long he's giving himself a chance to make homerun plays, instead of hitting singles and doubles and looking like something closer to a role player. I'd rather he look like a productive role player than the sad shell of a superstar trying to do things he can't on that night.
