WADE

[the addict]

First off, congrats heat. What a series.

Now, lebron is the man, but Wade is a future HOF himself.

And has his own legacy to work on.


Because he won one with shag in early years, he had one more then lebron prior to the "BIG 3".

So if they keep these two together, and they keep winning, wade will always have more titles then lebron.

And you can't say he wasn't a huge factor in any of them, because he was in all of them, more so the elimination games.



My question:

Can wade also go down as top 10 ever if they continue this run and win 4-6????

Remember, he will always have one more then bron, even tho bron is the best playing currently.

I think he is still a star if he could get healthy.

I mean he had huge numbers this series with 2 completely bum knees.

Gosh no. Not in my top 25. James will have more than him in the end, but will he have as many as big game bob Horry??

I dunno. Top 25 I think he will be if he wins 5-6 by the time its done.


He dominated as much as anyone has on the way to his first title, and hell he contributed immensly last year and this year, more so in the elimination games....


I think he has done more then enough to go down as one of the greats....

I agree not top 10, but somewhere from 20-25 I would think so.

In the end, kinda like he does now, LeBron is going to get a Ton of credit for the run to the finals he gave the cavaliers. He had Zero support, basically made the finals on his own. I think LeBron's 2 rings plus the Cavs run is just as good as Wade's 3 rings.

Honestly, I can see lebron and wade winning the next 2-3 with a supporting cast.....


Mj had pippen who was probably the 2nd best player in the league for a couple of those championships....but they also had some nice pieces around them....rodman was insane on the boards

Kobe had shaq, shaq had kobe....but plenty of guys made big shots for those teams...



Lebron and wade can do a lot, but I think they need to trade bosh and get some different pieces....


What a player these two are....wade and james.....look out...

Addict, I love Wade and IMO when he's playing well is as good as any 2 guard not named MJ and Kobe that there has ever been but.............to be one of the greats of all times you have to do it at a very high level and do it at that level for a long time. Yes he won without Lebron but he did have Shaq. My problem is what happened after that year? His team sucked. Then once he got Lebron he lost to the Mavs. If he was a top 25er and had another guy that is a guaranteed top 25er then there's no way they lose to the Mavs like they did.

Is he good, hell yes. At times is he great, hell yes but not top 25 ever. Too many ups and downs from season to season and within the seasons. Honestly, take away injuries and you're probably right on his ranking but injuries happen. Look at Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill. Those guys were both headed to all time great status until they started having injuries.

Very true


Penny hardaway was going to be an absolute star....then so quickly, that all changed.
