George Gervin led the NBA in scoring four times and playoff scoring five times, has three top three MVP finishes and five All-NBA first teams.
He also spent four years in the ABA and was named to the ABA All-Time Team (top 30).
1047 blocks in 1060 games (0.99)
Two seasons with 100 blocks, three more in the ABA.
Composite stats: 21.7 PER to 30.7 USG, .159 WS/48
Dwyane Wade led the NBA in scoring once and playoff scoring once, has one top three MVP finish and two All-NBA first teams.
759 blocks in 855 games (0.89)
One season with 100 blocks.
Composite stats: 24.7 PER to 32.0 USG, .179 WS/48 (it was .195 three years ago)
Each has one All Star MVP.
Gervin led all players in All Star votes two years. Wade never has.
.

.107 27 Mark Olberding
.118 27 Johnny Moore

.162 44 Chris Bosh
.159 21 Shaquille O'Neal
This supporting cast amassed a total of 11.42 MVP award shares, 7 MVPs, and 5 Finals MVPs.

Is Wade a greater shooting guard than Gervin? Or did he just play with better teams?
