Dwyane Wade fires back at James Harden comparisons as debate over all-time shooting guards heats up
Dwyane Wade is a remarkable player (Image via Instagram / @dwyanewade) Dwyane Wade recently made a crazy jab at James Harden as the two shooting guards' similarities grew. Usually placed only behind Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, both are frequently considered to be among the finest in NBA history. James Harden has the individual honors, winning an MVP award and on the verge of breaking into the top 10 all-time scorers, while Dwyane Wade has the team success, winning three titles and a Finals MVP award. Dwyane Wade weighs in on James Harden comparisons and what truly defines greatness One of the most fascinating debates of the league is the one concerning the greatest shooting guards in NBA history. The discussion includes individuals like Klay Thompson, James Harden, and Dwyane Wade. Among these players, the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz co-owners are frequently compared. Now, the former player recently weighed in on the discussion. He said on the Time out podcast: "It's going to be a lot of arguments about 'Oh, he's better because he scored more points. Oh, he's better because I like his game better. He's better because he won more rings.' This conversation never goes anywhere... Winning a ring, it's a whole different game than being a great player and having stats. I could have more stats if I didn't care about winning a ring.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2022 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo The constant comparisons between the two is the source of his comment. Patrick Beverley, a former NBA player, was also one of many who made the comparison in his March podcast. He said: "I've seen the comparison with James Harden and [Dwyane Wade], I'm taking James Harden over D-Wade, it's only because of longevity.' In a March edition of his podcast, G.S. Warriors player Draymond Green also made comparisons between the former All-Stars. He adopted his own stance on the issue by selecting D-Wade. Dwyane Wade is tired of the comparison (Image via Instagram / @dwyanewade) He said: "I played against both of them and really both of them in their prime. Like I played D-Wade when I came to the league and they were winning championships in Miami. But in saying that, man, James Harden is so fu***ing good. But the reason I'm going to pick D-Wade, I'm going to pick D-Wade, and he won championships and he won a championship as Finals MVP, carrying a team in his third year. Yes, he had the Diesel and Diesel changed everything. I'mma pick D-Wade because of that reason.' Even though D-Wade is a senior, James Harden still has time to prove himself. Now, only time will tell who will emerge victorious in the debate.

"If Patriotism Matters...": BCCI Slammed By Ex Pakistan Star Over Asia Cup Stand
Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria, while sharing his take on the Asia Cup schedule which was long mired in controversy and debate, stated that India-Pakistan clash likely came after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) received approval from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). In the detailed fixtures announced by the ACC on Saturday, India and Pakistan are set to meet in the Asia Cup group stage clash on September 14. The announcement came just days after a highly sensitive episode involving the India Champions team, which had withdrawn from a scheduled clash against Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends. "Cricket should happen (between the two countries)... People are talking about it because a recent incident occurred where there was supposed to be an India-Pakistan match at the World Championship of Legends, but ex-India cricketers boycotted the match. That move hinted that perhaps India would also skip playing Pakistan in future events like the Asia Cup or even ICC tournaments. The boycott made headlines, and many statements followed, creating an impression that India might not participate in matches against Pakistan. "But then there was an online meeting where Mohsin Naqvi - who is both the PCB chairman and the head of the Asian Cricket Council - and BCCI representatives were present. The ACC must have received a green signal from the BCCI, which is why the India-Pakistan match was scheduled," Kaneria told IANS. Kaneria believes BCCI should have taken more time and consulted top leadership before committing to such a high-stakes fixture. "I believe the BCCI should have given it more thought and taken time before making a decision. There shouldn't be double standards - sometimes yes, sometimes no. If you're talking about patriotism, then you have to stand by it consistently. From now until the day of that match, you'll see the hype and chaos build up. And then people will start questioning the earlier stand taken by the cricketers. "Either say clearly that sports and politics are separate, or maintain a firm stand across the board. No double standards. If it's no, then let it be no. If it's yes, then say yes and stand by it," he said. Kaneria said the absence of India from a tournament affects everything - from TV rights and sponsorships to global viewership. "At the end of the day, what difference does it make to the BCCI? They generate nearly 99 per cent of the cricketing revenue. The top cricketing nations - Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand - they all want to play India because their players are part of the IPL, which is the biggest and most lucrative league in the world. "Let's face it: if India doesn't participate, TV rights don't sell, advertisements drop, and the viewership takes a hit. Just one India-Pakistan game draws astronomical viewership..." Kaneria added. He concluded by saying that the BCCI should adopt a transparent and consistent approach. "When you're in a position of power, you need to be able to distinguish and define - either cricket is separate, or it isn't. If patriotism matters, it must be consistent. Not for a day, not for a week, but always. You can't change your stance every few weeks. Once a decision is made, stand by it. That's what I didn't understand - why was the decision taken so quickly?"
