What are legends based off? The ability to be the guy when it matters most. Kevin Durant had to go to a 73-9 team that just came back from 3-1 against him and has team hopped since then to prove that he was the guy. When he didn't have the greatest point guard of all time on his team he did not win in the playoffs. Dwyane Wade carried a team to a championship in year 3 while averaging 35 in the finals, coming back from 2-0 (On the brink of 3-0) with a second option averaging 13 for the series

Picture a casual fan in 2030 scrolling through highlight reels. They'll see Durant hitting impossible shots everywhere, winning titles as the main force, and piling up scoring titles. With Wade, they remember greatness alongside Shaq and LeBron. So I just feel Durant's overall career stands taller, even if Wade had those magical moments.
Round 3
lerafoxAGAINST
A career isn't one series, and Durant's total resume beats Wade's. My opponent's 2006 Wade Finals point is fair; that was legendary. But Durant has two Finals MVPs as the clear best player on title teams, an MVP, four scoring titles, and much longer elite longevity. Wade's peak was shorter, and two of his rings came alongside LeBron. If someone weighs whole career production and accolades, Durant ranks higher. So I still say Wade did not have the better career.
