With the addition of 2 Rings and 2 FMVPs, Flash becomes a 5x NBA Champ (2005, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013), and 3x Finals MVP (2005, 2006, 2011), where would he rank all time?

Clears Kobe for 2nd greatest SG of all time behind Jordan, and much closer to the top 10 all time convos too
Undisputed 3rd greatest SG of all time. Rn, some would say James Harden can give Dwayne a run for his money.
Top 10 all time no doubt
It’s crazy to think that this “fantasy” isn’t too far fetched. They were up against Detroit, and then a fluke injury. And they were up against Dallas, and then a fluke disappearance (by one of the best of all time). Both so unlikely….

No guarantee we would’ve beaten the Spurs in 05
2nd greatest SG of all time
In that case he’d then finish his career (assuming the rest plays out as is) with 5 rings and 3 FMVPs. He’d be in the top 10 conversations and would probably be viewed as having a higher peak than Kobe (whereas Bryant would have been best on longevity).
Some would still have Kobe ahead of him all-time, but others would have Wade ahead of Kobe. Right now Wade doesn’t really have an argument for being better than Kobe, but in this scenario he certainly would and people would give him his flowers.
Right now he’s a top 30 player AT. He’d jump 20 spots with 2 more rings and FMVPs.
In addition to his other championships? 5 time champ, 3x FMVP? Top 10.

I don’t think it would matter much, OUTSIDE of putting him over Kobe. Culturally I don’t think it’d change much he’s still greatly respected. If he somehow got the shoe popularity to match then that’d be crazy. And the only player to win fmvp with LeBron on the squad.
The same kinda debate that LeBron and Jordan are in currently but with Kobe.
The best over Kobe
Still the same I would say. He’s 2-3 in my book.
I love DWade but man thats a lot of ifs.
Still I put Wade # 2 at SG now and still would if all that changed.
Just the 3 strong titles with 3 fmvps we’re probably top 10 all time despite the short peak
Top 15 all time (he’s I. That Magic Larry bird Tim Duncan category)I think the league would have been his bcuz he was lowkey the face of the nba bcuz he had all the big time commercials
(Lincoln ,Gatorade, converse, T-Mobile, mcdavid)
If he doesn’t get hurt in 2005 or 2007 that squad just might three peat
It’s crazy how these guys are so much more genetic freaks than us normal folks, but there is even a tier above them ranking higher genetically in the NBA like LeBron James as far as guys just being durable and staving off arthritis.
