That they are.

Boy, wouldn't it be fun if Shaq, Yao and Duncan all played on the same team?

That would be pretty damn interesting. I doubt it would work. 3 big fuckers on the court at the same time.

What's that mean?? Obviously you were joking but I was just going along with it.

You guys are a joke. Wade gets the calls because he drives in to the lane more than any other player in the league. He isn't like LeBron where he hangs out near the three point line jacking shots. And, oh yea, if you hadn't noticed, LeBron is a terrible free throw shooter ( .678%). He is scared to take free throws, especially when it matters. He needs to get something. He doesn't have that "it" factor yet.

Lebron drives just as much as Wade(maybe a little less, but not so much that the free throw difference last year was that large).

Lebron is terrible this year, but even last year when he was making them, he still wasn't getting the calls while pretty boy wade was.

Lebron DID make clutch shots last year. Did you miss the entire Washington series?

It's easy to say he isn't clutch when he misses shots during the regular season, but he made them in the playoffs when they really mattered.

As a sidenote, this is why it pisses me off when people say Gilbert Arenas is clutch. Yeah, it's one thing to make the shot when there is no playoff pressure, but we all saw him wilt last year when Lebron psyched him out.

Lebron has proved that he's clutch. You just don't know anything.

Wade has had his best year this year until he got hurt without Shaq. The "it" factor is being able to hit game winning shots and do what it takes to win. And at the end of games, Shaq isn't even on the floor. And Wade leads the league in 4th quarter points, when Shaq doesn't even play much.

This entirely proves my point that Wade isn't nearly as good as he's given credit for. Even you admit that Wade is having his best year this year, yet one stat you choose to ignore is that Miami is only 25-21 with him in the lineup. Why does the team have such a poor record even with DWade in the lineup? Because Shaq's not been around much this year. Face it, fella, Wade only has reached the heights he's been to b/c of Shaq. Accordingly, any statements that Wade's the best player in the NBA or any comparisons to Jordan (who was able to win without talent anywhere near Shaq, Mourning, etc.) are totally ridiculous.

And if you want to use that logic, I guess Kobe doesn't have "it" anymore.

...which is why Kobe's not winning NBA titles anymore and DWade is. Which proves that Shaq is the "it" factor, not what you perceive to be DWade's ability to drive to the hoop better than anyone in the league and take over games in the fourth quarter. Please continue to post other things that further our argument, not yours. I think it's kind of funny how you get confused and say things that end up undermining your argument.

I'm not confused about anything. As a rookie Wade took his team to the playoffs and into the second round. It too LeBron till his third year. You Wade haters are all the same, jealous that Queen James hasn't done shit, so you put down Wade. Face it, LeBron is nothing more than a glorified Dan Marino right now, stats galore but he can't sniff a Ring.

How is that an argument? The difference in the two franchises is well established, including before both arrived.

Well at least you're not hiding your true colors anymore and just resorting to broad-sweeping attacks.

98% of superstar rookies land on horrible teams their first three years... yet somehow this is an indictment of LBJ.

Eventually you have to realize that LeBron isn't living up to the hype. Of course it's hard to, but it's just a fact. If you want to make a new thread about Dwyane Wade, that's where we should talk about him.

Try reading my posts in this thread. You might want to stop painting with such a broad brush.

Not living up to the hype? Are you kidding me? Is this because he hasn't won a championship yet? At the age of 22?


You'd think the guy were Charles Barkley or Dan Marino with your criticism. He's got, what at least 15 years left to win a championship?

And don't go arguing that your opinion is a fact. It's absurd and kills your credibility.

He has a few years left, then he is leaving Cleveland, so enjoy it while it lasts.
