    Wanna know what yall opinion be.


    I always had felt like Reggie Miller is right up there wit da all time greats but alotta peeps dont agree w me cuz his numbers wasnt that great. I judge it more cuz of his impact and superman performances in clutch time.

    Mark jackson last night said d wade is da 3rd best 2 guard of all time, i dont agree wit that neither, i put reggie above d wade, he good but he too inconsistant, and now at barely 30 years old he breakin down like father time. Even old ass kobe outperform him nowadays


    Im sure theres alotta names YALL can think of :)

    Definitely Jerry West, and it's really not even that close.

    After that I'd say Wade is 4th, followed by some combination of Drexler, Sam Jones and Allen Iverson maybe.

    Jerry West.

    Then there's a large gap.

    Reggie Miller wouldn't even belong in the discussion. The only reason he gets so much hype is due to his antics and moments against the Knicks. Which in hindsight, isn't even all that amazing given how little the Knicks accomplished in the 90s.

    West is 3rd, than Wade, and than Drexler.

    Longevity is the only argument that Miller has over Wade. Prime Wade, which has lasted for quite some time, blows Miller out of the water.

    The Knicks went to the Eastern Conference Finals 4 four times & the Finals twice. I'm not a Knicks fan, but the 90s wasn't a total waste. Miller was one of the truly great shooters of all time, there is no disputing that.

    I'd put both Gervin and Maravich over Wade.

    wow, Clyde Drexler anyone

    I know he's known by the youngins around here as the horridly humurous Rox commentator, but this guy was downright a beast.

    He was so good til there was a debate who was better, MJ or The Glide. Needless to say Jordan put that convo to bed when they met in the NBA Finals

    Ill say Wade was perhaps more clutch but Clyde Trailblazers teams were great year in and year out and made it to back to back NBA Finals. As compared to Wades teams have always been mediocre, minus when Shaq arrived and now Lebron and Bosh.

    Its a tough call between Wade and Clyde but I'll go with the Glide.

    fixed. McGrady didnt have the heart to be one of the greatest, so no deal.

    talent and work ethic are 2 entirely different scenarios.

    David Thompson was on path to be Jordan before there was a Jordan. Would've easily been top 3 SG of all time without his drug issues and injuries.
