Wade vs. Naismith

[Centerstream]

I am guessing that this has been asked/debated before, but is one award considered more prestigious than the other?

Wade.

Reason?

I was thinking what TJI wrote, though she knows better than I as to a proper rationale. The Wade dates from 1978. The Naismith for women dates from 1983. There is no Wade trophy for men.

Here's MY answer: The Wade is better because Maya is the only player to have won it 3 times.
