Re: Am I the only one who would take Wade over Lebron?

Well, since both came in the League at the same time and lit it up, that's a moot point.

You can't go wrong with either, but LeBron ain't head and shoulders better than D.Wade. I got them being on the same level.

I will say this, though--both are better than Carmello at this stage. To me, Mello regressed in his sophomore season, even though the Nuggets turned it around when Karl took over.

But in theory James has extra years to develop his game. What I'm trying to say is that Dwayne Wade wasn't as good as Lebron was when Dwayne was 20 so maybe Lebron will be really special by the time he is 23 becuase he will have had those extra years of experience and development. Look at how much Lebron improved between his rookie year and second year.

Re: Am I the only one who would take Wade over Lebron?

I'm looking at these fan rankings on ESPN.com, and people have
1) Wade
2) Lebron
3) T-Mac
4) Kobe
as the top 4 swingman. Now Lebron and Wade are good and all, but how can you say that they are better than Kobe/Mac?

Does anyone trust those fan ratings? Most people have a short-attention span and can only remember five years into the past.

There is absolutely no way, Wade is better than T-Mac. T-mac is a better shooter and defender than Wade is.

Wade is a great player but people seem to only look at the past three weeks instead of the season.

I disagree. If both played in the NBA, say, 15 years, both would relatively have the same mileage on their bodies.

Both are in the League now. They came in at the same time. If Wade had come in a few years earlier than Bron, I could see your point.

And both players still haven't reached their potential.

Yeah he was so brutal in the regular season.

They are preety similar in terms of D.T-Mac is a better outside shooter.Wade has a better mid range touch.Doesn't he shoot 48%?I may be wrong.Wade is just as good as Mac at setting up his teamates too.To say that there is absolutely no way Wade is better ,is foolish.

Wade avg over 5 TOs a game this season. The game when he scored over 40 he turned over the ball 8 times. This seem to be the major weakness in his game.

Don't make things up man, Wade did not average over 5 TO's a game. Iverson led the league and he was at about 4.5 or something like that. Wade was second with like a 4.3 or 4.4.


Wade > Lebron

Re: Am I the only one who would take Wade over Lebron?

Wade's To's have more to do with his agressiveness.He drives the hole with reckless abandon.Sometimes you'll get the call,but you're also setting yourself up to get the ball stripped.He's also very agressive on double teams and that at times leads to turnovers.But his To's aren't a result of him having bad court awareness or not making good passes, I can assure you of that.

Here is the numbers. Wade avg 4.2 TOs this season. That is awful for a guard. Wade avg 5 TOs a game in the NJ series and avg 6.3 TOs in the Wizards series. His post season TO avg is 5.2.

Great guards have a 3-1 assist/to ratio, a good guard avg 2-1 but Wade is close to a 1-1 ratio. He need to protect the ball better. The sad thing is that Wade is turning the ball over more in the post season. Like I said he need to work on this aspect of his game. Except for that he is a beast.

You have to admit for whatever the reason he needs to improve this part of his game.

Re: Am I the only one who would take Wade over Lebron?

For sure,just like Kobe needs to improve his shot selection and Lebron his shooting.

Wade just tries to split the double team too agressively which leads to some of his turnovers.

The good thing is that the NBA is in good hands with these young players.

No doubt Wade has areas of his game he can still work on(that's scary), he'd be the first person to tell you that also...

If the Heat are to have a shot against the Pistons, he's going to have to get that number down. You can't have your primary ball handler turning it over 6 times a game and except to beat the defending champs.
