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.

Wildflowers arrive early in the Cape West Coast
Anyone craving a wild, colourful escape can find exactly that along the Cape West Coast, now that the wildflowers have arrived early. Namaqua National Park, the crown jewel of South Africa's wildflower region in the Western Cape, is already seeing splashes of vibrant colour across its arid landscapes, Timeout reports. A solid run of rainfall since March, accompanied by alternating warm and cool spells throughout winter, has given the region a head start on its annual transformation. Typically, the West Coast flower season runs from early August through September, with peak blooms expected between the third week of August and the second week of September. But nature doesn't run on fixed calendars, it appears, and this year, it's jumped the gun! Currently, early blooms are lighting up sections of the 4×4 eco-route, especially near Wildeperdehoek and Kookfontein. These rugged, remote areas are already bursting with daisies, vygies, and other hardy endemic species. Meanwhile, the iconic Skilpad Wildflower Reserve is just beginning to stir, showing the first signs of what could become an unusually long and lush season. If weather conditions continue to cooperate, we could be looking at an extended flowering window lasting through late September, with mild showers and no heavy winds. That opens the door for more weekend adventurers, road trippers, and photographers to experience the bloom without the usual peak-season crowds. Best viewing times are mid-morning to early afternoon, when blooms open up to the sun. are mid-morning to early afternoon, when blooms open up to the sun.

Boston is one of the world's best cities for green space, says new Time Out ranking
Boston might be most famous for its history, sports teams and Irish heritage, but don't overlook its green side. According to a Time out survey, Boston was just ranked the second-best city in the world for green space—just behind Medellín, Colombia. Boston is a dream for those who crave city life without losing touch with nature. Bostonians know what's up when it comes to parks. Let's start with the backbone of Boston's greenery: the Emerald Necklace, a 1,100-acre linear chain of parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. It stretches from the historic Boston Common and Public Garden all the way to Franklin Park, home to miles of woodland trails and a zoo. The Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain is a 281-acre haven of curated trees and peaceful paths, perfect for strolling, biking or simply lying in the grass. Head to Jamaica Pond for kayaking and people-watching, or find a quiet spot in Back Bay Fens, where gardens, wetlands and wildflowers coexist just steps from Fenway Park. If you're looking to escape even further, Boston offers easy access to the Blue Hills Reservation, just a short drive or train ride away. With over 125 miles of trails, it's a legit hiking destination right outside city limits. Or take the ferry to the Boston Harbor Islands, where you'll find hiking, picnicking and some of the best skyline views around. Nearly 90 percent of locals who responded to the Time Out survey said Boston's green space is "good" or "amazing"—and they're right. Whether you're tracing history on the Freedom Trail or finding your Zen in the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Boston gives you space to breathe.

'We getting a chance to see who can really hoop' — Dwyane Wade backs referees for letting physicality play out
(Image Source - Getty Images) The 2025 NBA Playoffs have turned up the heat, and Dwyane Wade is loving it. On his podcast Timeout, he commended the referees for letting players be more physical, mentioning, 'We get a chance to see who can really hoop' This new approach has ignited conversations throughout the league, with some fans enjoying the classic toughness and others concerned about the safety of the players. Dwyane Wade applauds referees for allowing physicality in the 2025 NBA playoffs Wade, a three-time NBA title holder, has expressed his thoughts on the tougher nature of this year's playoffs. He believes the referees are choosing to let the players play more by not calling as many fouls, which is reviving that competitive spirit from earlier times. The refs control how the temperature of the game is going to be... Right now, they're putting it back in their pocket, they're saying, 'Let's go back to competition,' Wade said during his podcast. This method has encouraged players to be more aggressive, resulting in thrilling games and heightened feelings on the court. Wade noted that this way of playing reveals those who depend on drawing fouls instead of just their skills. 'Now we getting a chance to see who can really hoop and who was dependent on the refs,' he added. The playoffs have seen some notable moments that show a change in how the games are officiated. In the series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets , Stephen Curry has been under heavy defense, and it's been noted that he's only gotten to the free-throw line six times in the first two games. Meanwhile, the matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers had a bit of a brawl between James Harden and Christian Braun, which definitely raised the intensity on the court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Another instance is the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Anthony Edwards' aggressive style against LeBron James caught everyone's eye. Wade compared the energy to streetball, saying,'When my uncles and my dad and when you was in the hood, that's how you used to play bro.' Mixed reactions from the NBA community While Wade and a few others enjoy the shift back to a more physical style of play, there are critics. Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics voiced his frustration with the officiating after a particularly intense game against the Orlando Magic, claiming the physicality was too much. Former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban also chimed in, cautioning that this trend of increased aggression could spell trouble for the league's future, as teams might lean more towards being physical rather than skilled. He said that this more focus on physicality can replace skill and that would be bad for the NBA in future.

Dwyane Wade's support for the refs being a bit more relaxed shows he wants to bring back that competitive edge. As the playoffs roll on, it'll be interesting to see if this trend sticks around and what it means for the league's future.

Ambati Rayudu slams Rajasthan Royals' youth-first policy, says ‘IPL is not a charity'
Rajasthan Royals made Indian Premier League history on Saturday, April 19, after they handed a debut to Vaibhav Suryavanshi against the Lucknow Super Giants. The superstar in the making from Bihar is all of 14 and he became the youngest debutant in the history of the league. While the youngster introduced himself to the world with a first-ball six of Shardul Thakur, and another maximum of Avesh Khan, RR slumped to their sixth defeat of the campaign as they sit 8th in the table. While promoting Suryavanshi to the first team gave RR the opportunity to unearth yet another young talent, their season is currently in danger of fizzling out at the halfway mark. Just like the Chennai Super Kings, RR will have to win all of their remaining 6 matches to even have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs. However, it looks increasingly likely the Rajasthan side will endure yet another lacklustre campaign as their 17-year search for their second IPL title is destined to a fruitless continuance. Speaking to ESPNCricinfo as part of his media duties, former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu slammed RR's 'youth-first' policy. He said the policy has not borne any results and questioned the need to continue promoting youngsters in the squad. 'I've always had this question in my mind when it comes to RR - they've invested so much in youngsters over the years. What have they gotten out of it? It's been 17 years since they've won an IPL, and they always showcase this as if it's their strength. It is some great charity that they're doing for the game, but it is not. You're here to compete," he said on ESPNCricinfo's Timeout. 'You're here to win the IPL, and there are ways teams have adopted to win the IPL, and you don't follow any of those. You have your own path, and you justify it year after year. 'And you want people to come on board and appreciate you for the good team that you are by giving youngsters all over the world a good opportunity in the IPL," he further added. Only two teams have had a worse campaign than the Rajasthan Royals, and that is based on only the net run rate. RR is one of three teams alongside Sunrisers Hyderabad (9th) and CSK (10th) to register only 4 wins in the season so far, although SRH have played one game less. They have a tough game up next, a trip to high flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 24, and a defeat at the M Chinnaswamy stadium all but puts an end to RR's IPL 2025.
