Let me start off saying that i like wade, i used to like him a ton ever since heat/lakers on xmas and he took kobe who i do not like. Wade is humble and an incredible athlete and leader. But for me it is Lebron soooo easily that it makes me laugh that the question is even asked, but for those of you who think you would take wade I will try to make a compelling argument of why lebron is better. I think if there is even a ? of Lebron or wade it is because we have amnesia forgetting everything lebron did this season and remembering only wade in the finals.
Gravys reason for taking wade over Lebron was because Lebron passes to his teamates too much. Well he is guilty as charged he does avg 6.6 assist while wade who i geuss doesnt kick to his teamates avg 6.7 so they are even there, at least stat wise. But if Lebron is so busy kicking to open teamates why is he 3rd in the league in scoring at 31.4 and dwade avg only 27.2?
So Lebron passes to much (avg same assist as wade, and yet he scores more than wade. how can that be?)
I know what you meant, you mean he passes too many times to his teamates and that results in turnovers? Oh dwade avg more turnovers a game than lebron?Well i dont know what you mean.
I have heard different sports personalities Bayless, Mariotti, and even woody paige make arguments for wade. They go like this, "Wade has proven that he can hit the big shot" well yes he has, but saying this would imply that Lebron hasnt, but correct me if it wasn't Lebron who hit back to back game winners against Wizards? And they were not bail out ticky tack go to the line and heres the game "big shots" either. So I would say they are even there.
"Wade has proven he is a winner" Well yes, but hasn't Lebron, I mean taking the pistons to game 7 in eastern semifinals is no knock against him. So they are both winners, Wade just has won more.
But it is clear to anybody as to why. HIS TEAM. Yes hes not the same Shaq he used to be, but name two centers in the east u rather have. And Zmoney is no where close to Shaq. Oh well James has Hughes, but he was injured most season and he wasnt there for most of playoffs. Wade has Walker, Williams, Payton, Mourning, Shaq, and Haslem. Yeah they arent what they used to be but they used to be the best players in the nba. except for williams who is a better shooter now than ever and Haslem. I would take every single one of those guys over the same position on Cavs. Wade wins because of his team.
If only there was a way they could be on the same team and maybe that could help us a lil bit. Granted, this isnt a usual one game, but I think Lebrons stats are better so far in everything, maybe wade will prove that if he is on the same team as lebron his is the better player.
05-06 all star game Lebron and wade played same minutes, but Lebron outscored and outrebounded wade, oh and he was also voted the MVP of that game. It is to note that this "disabled" shaq that everyone says doesnt deserve any credit for wades sucess had 17 points, how many did zmoney have?
One of the questions was,"if you could draft 03 knowing what you know now who would you take", the guy who wasnt medicated said "lebron instantly and no questions" Bayless on the other hand responds "well wade has proven he can qin championship i will take him" -
If you are drafting 03- again heres something to think about, well u shouldnt think you should be a witness to lebron and pick him without a doubt. But Lebron is younger than wade, granted by only a year but his longevity is extremely greater than wade. How many times is wade in the air and falling down hard? Well u know that "stand up 8" commercial that makes no sense, all those clips of wade were from 1 game! But seriously, they say wade is a tough kid, and i dont doubt it. But TOUGH does not trump BROKE. and he is going to hurt himself badly flying through the air the way he does.
Second thing if you are drafting Wade over Lebron you better be drafting a ref with your second pick because Wade is THE MOST BAILED OUT PLAYER IN THE GAME, even over ginobili!
These are the reasons why Lebron is much better than wade, he is a better scorer, he can play more positions, he is a better passer, he is a better rebounder, he is just as clutch as wade( lebron was #1 in 05-06 in player wins). what else is there? Yes wade reminds me of Jordan the way he plays and his desire to win (also the treatment the refs give Jordan is remarkably similar to wades), but there is little doubt in my mind that Lebron will be better than Jordan when it is all said and done.
So I take .............
Lebron.
