Re: Who is the 3rd best wing player in the game?

All you have to do is watch the games. Kobe forces the issue sometimes, more often than he should, but he is still a great player. His production this year is ridiculous for a player 16 years in.


2012-13 Statistics

PPG - 26.8
RPG - 5.30
APG - 5.6
STL - 1.4
FG% - .464
EFF - + 23.69

You're other statements about DWade and Melo are too homerific for me to even bother with.

Not really, I have watched Paul George destroy Wade 1v1, and that George wasn't as good as George is now. What is homerific about saying Paul on a good day is as good as Melo? Is it because Paul isn't the scorer Melo is? Even though he is a far superior defender? Or because Paul is not as selfish?

I don't see how Kobe is better than PG anymore, you guys have to remember we are talking about Kobe today not Kobe even just two years ago. Wade, nine times out of ten I would bet PG would win that one on one battle. Melo, PG isn't consistent enough yet to be above him yet, but on a good day I would say they are on par at worst.

Melo. He can score better than anyone i have ever seen.

Re: Who is the 3rd best wing player in the game?

Wait, so you were mad that more people did not pick PG when you didn't pick him yourself?

Not mad at all. Some of the comments on here make me think a lot of people don't think he is even close yet. Which I find interesting. Obviously I am not mad. It isn't a big deal what any of us think. Just like to see peoples opinions.

Umm....let's not get ahead of ourselves.

this is a perfect summary of this thread.

Re: Who is the 3rd best wing player in the game?

Whether he is a top three wing defender might be a more interesting discussion. (No offense, BJ43.) I've been saying it for the majority of the season, but I fear I may be over-doing it.

Re: Who is the 3rd best wing player in the game?

I made the poll, and I picked Carmelo Anthony, I was just wondering how many people on here liked PG. But I think PG is closer than a lot of people on here think.

Thanks to the public poll, we can just rename this thread the 'Which poster's homerism has made them lose all sense of reality?" :P

He may get there one day. Not right now.

Of 48 people, 2 chose Paul George.

Harden should be on the list. Not that i'd pick him, i'd take Melo and Wade first, but harden is close enough to be considered.

I know it was an exhibition but PG looked like one of the best players out there to me.

Re: Who is the 3rd best wing player in the game?

I bet there is a similar thread on some Raptor's forum about Rudy Gay.

If we were to just look at the last 35 games or so, he would be up there with the best, but some of these guys have been playing at that elite level for years and years.

Third best wing player might actually be PG if you take into account that Lebron and Melo spend most of their time at PF
