True, though LeBron hasn't had as much help and the Cavaliers were playoff bound before the new management started meddling.

Also I think Wade is just more fun to watch. I mean first off Carter got super pissed off during game 4. (It was really funny they called out of bounds to Miami, and Carter was right under the basket microphone and he jumped up and down sounded like a woman. :lol: ) Anyways while Carter was pissed off took his headband off etc etc he was facing the player he was defending during the inbound, so Wade just threw it off Carter's back and layed it in!!! :lol: I bet Carter must have been super pissed.

Lebron has good moves but Wade really makes you go 'wow' or 'cool' or 'did you just see what he did?'.

You mean Camby led them, and Carmelo was just their leading scorer, right? :wink:

Yea, just not as many games, and not make the playoffs, I'm pretty sure Wade with Lebron's team could also win games and not make the post season.

You're saying that without Shaq the Heats would not be able to win games? Then how do you explain the last 2 wins by the Miami Heats in the playoff? which by the way it's the second swept they completed and is the only undefeated team in the playoff so far. Wade has been playing great and has taken upon the many challenges.

I'm still favoring Lebron on this debate but I don't think Lebron's physique has anything to do with this. He is cleary taller and heavier maybe more athletic than Wade but so far Wade has shown more HEART AND WILL than Lebron.

LeBron hasn't done jack shit in the playoffs. Until he does I will hold off judgement on who's better. There is a big difference between a great player and a great winner. Wilt was a great player. He won a grand total of 2 championships, even playing with greats like Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. Another example is Oscar Robertson. He averaged a triple double. This guy should be "the best player ever" but I never hear that in any discussion. He's always behind MJ and Wilt...you wanna know why? He has a grand total of 1 championship. What about Russell? His individual talents are ignored but he was a great winner and won 11 championships. As for now, Dwayne Wade has proven he can take over a whole series and is a proven winner. If the shot against Baron Davis didn't show that already, his series with Washington showed that he WILL win championships. I guarantee he WILL win a championship regardless of being with Shaq or not, but as for LeBron? Oscar Robertson just won 1! Think of that! LeBron is very similar to Oscar Robertson. I guess you can call it luck, but luck is a part of being a winner. You can say Pippen was lucky. You can say Jordan was lucky. You can say Bill Russell was lucky. It doesn't change the fact that they were winners. You never know about LeBron though...too early to tell.

I'd also like to add that someone named "Lew Alcindor" was in that championship with da big O. (And he turned out to be a huge winner of course.)

Didn't MJ have Orlando Woolridge and/ or George Gervin on his team at one point? albeit they were declining stars, they were still solid veterans

Lebron may have advantage in physical aspects over Wade.
But Wade is much better overall. Wade is more flexible.

The year George Gervin was on the team was his last year in the league, and also MJ's second season in which he got hurt and played only 18 games. Gervin retired after that season.

MJ had Orlando Wolridge his first 2 years, the second year like I said MJ was injured, and his first season, Wolridge was the only other good player on the team. They had 1 or 2 other decent guys, but no good big men at all, MJ lead the team in rebounds with 6.5 RPG.

OMG!!!! it could have been such a great duo if George Gervin was younger by the time MJ entered the league :) GG was one of the biggest offensive weapons at that time and one with a very high field gold percentage.

Yea... you could also say that if LeBron was a little older and the Bulls picked him up, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Lebron would've also been a create combo.
