    Brandon Roy:

    PPG: 22.1
    RPG: 4.5
    APG: 4.7
    FG%: 0.471
    FT%: 0.781
    3P%: 0.340

    Dwayne Wade:
    PPG: 26.3
    RPG: 4.8
    APG: 6.7
    FG%: 0.469
    FT%: 0.758
    3P%: 0.295

    Roy: played 266/303 games (87%)
    Wade: played 463/561 games (82%)

    The Dirk is all on opinion due to the fact they play near opposite positions. Bottom line the people see Wade in commercials. That's why Wade wins. Do not take it personal people...It's all based on opinion.

      Ha. Hahahahaha. Put Rondo in Utah and they're not even a playoff team, let alone tied for 2nd in the West.

      @ RipCity - I may be slippin, but doesn't Wade have something very important that Mr. Roy does not...a ring? :slippin:

      Wade is much more established than Roy, no disrespect to Roy who is also a very good player, but Wade is the better player. Any objective basketball observer can see that.

      My top 10 would be

      1. Kobe
      2. LeBron
      3. Carmelo
      4. Durant
      5. Deron Williams
      6. Dwight Howard
      7. Wade
      8. Dirk
      9. CP3
      10. Amare

      FWIW

        You've lost your mind, dude. Please abandon this argument. Even Brandon Roy knows he's not better than Dwyane Wade. If those numbers were reversed, you'd be losing it if people thought Wade was better.

          Roy's not better than Wade yet, although I think he will be in a year or two. He's pretty much carrying this franchise, but he has some help (Camby, Batum, Andre, LA, etc.)
          My Teams:
          NCAA FB-Oregon Ducks
          NCAA BB-Gonzaga Bulldogs
          NBA-Portland Trail Blazers
          NFL-Carolina Panthers
          MLB-San Francisco Giants
          NHL-Los Angeles Kings
          Won't change this signature until Oregon wins a national championship (started 3/10/10)

            Using rip's theory, I guess Al Hortford is better than D Wade as well.

              I don't care if Roy is a better 3pt shooter. Wade is still a better scorer and can go off for 40 at any time. Roy is a great player and probably the 3rd best 2-guard in the league, but he doesn't have the killer instinct to go off on dudes like Wade does.

              I don't think Roy will ever be top 5 in scoring which to me is what makes a 2 guard great....I'm not saying only scoring is the end all be all, but the guys who were consistently (year in year out) in the top 5 to 8 in scoring were considered top 10 players.

                  I was really laughing at the Kobe argument. Durant or Melo is a tough call.

                      Bosh as top 10 is questionable too.

                        This is prolly the most accurate out of the bunch

                          Put Bosh before D Will and it's spot on.

                            A tough call? My argument about Wade vs. Roy is more legit. Durant is on another tier compared to Mello. If I was a Blazer "homer" I would pick Mello over Durant (I think we all know why). Durant lead a crap team into the Western Conference playoffs along with Westbrook and a bunch of role players. Denver has 2 stars in Anthony and CB along with a pretty good big man that has played every game this season. Denver also has veterans while OKC has inexperienced players. How hard do you think that is on Durant? The stats do not lie...Better shooter in every apect.

                            The difference between Roy and Wade is Wade is flashy. People mistake productivity with high flying slam dunks and crowd pleasers. Wade is flashy although it works...Roy is a smarter player. Roy lays it up when he can dunk (And trust me he can dunk). I bet Roy would do pretty well in that "conference" of the East side as well. A lot of good competition on that side. I would hate having the New Jersey Nets and Wizards for a double header!

                              I think that Blazer avatar is strongly affecting your opinion on the matter.
