I'd love to see the Finals stats between LeBron and Wade. If you want, add in 06 and 07.
LeBron is a transcendent talent. Wade is a transcendent clutch performer (on the greatest stage).
These are facts.
I couldn't be bothered to look, actually.

I don't come with opinions, I come with facts.
Inconvenient truths.
Wade, at times, looks like the best player in the game and has since '06. But James is clearly the best player in the game overall. There's no credible argument to be made otherwise. Wade and Howard are the only players even close to being close. No one else merits mention, unless Paul regains full explosiveness in his knee.
And this is coming from someone who's never been a James fan. I've always found Wade to be a much more entertaining player. But unlike many, I give credit where credits due. I'll continue to give Bryant the edge historically, because of his longevity and accomplishments. But James' best is clearly superior to Bryant's, so it's only a matter of time before James surpasses him. James is right up there with Duncan and O'Neal as the best players in the post Jordan era.
Here's an analogy that's quite apropos for LeBron (Slim will appreciate this):
He's John Elway. An amazingly talented player known for ting the bed at the most inopportune time, but also played without a whole lot of help. He teamed up with workhorse Terrell Davis (Wade) and together they made magic. When it came time to finally win a ring, he rode his horse to the le.
There it is. After watching this game, this is your argument for LeBron.
Now do you understand why nobody takes you and the rest of the Lebruminati seriously?
JCVD has a point. +/- is a no-no in this case.
I'm still trying to figure out wtf redzero's sig is/where it is from
I'm not saying anything, just stating a fact. If I had to choose a finals MVP right now I'd give it to Wade, Lebron remains the best player in the league though and the most important player for the Heat during this season and playoffs.
Couple questions:
What's your definition of a "dominant Finals series?"
And if the Heat win and Wade continues to be the primary/dominant scorer and is the Finals MVP, does LeBron only get a "sidekick" share of the championship so he can't claim it really as the #1 guy?
Your hidden agenda behind this is obvious
lol forever a Kobefan for handing your team the 2004 finals
I love how you scanned the boxscore and realized that was the only thing LeBron "finished" better in, +/-![]()
Elway never the bed. His teams were just massively outmatched in those Super Bowls.
Terrell Davis was also one of the most overrated players of all time. The amount of talentless, undrafted/late round picks who have produced great numbers in Shanahan's system proves that.
it's not like lebron is sucking ass in the series like wade during the boston and bulls series. lebron is still contributing, trying to have an efficient offensive game, making plays, getting assists, and letting wade take advantage of the mismatch he has against dallas. i too would go a wade v kidd matchup over a lebron v marion one.
again, i don't think lebron cares about being #1, he recognizes that the mavs can't stop wade unless they switch marion on him or something. no need to hog the ball and try to prove something. could lebron still win by hogging the ball? maybe. but lebron knows what needs to be done to ensure the maximum chance of winning.
Dude, you can make that argument for the 49ers game (no doubt), and maybe even the Giants game. That Redskin one was pure chokage. They were heavy favorites, had a 10-0 lead, and were facing a one-hit-wonder QB.
To this day, Doug Williams is the only starting Black QB to win a SB. Elway also choked just prior to the SB win year, against Jacksonville. That was terrible.
Lebron would get credit in the same way that Duncan and Garnett got for their 2007 and 2008 les..best player and best defender on the team, Wade had the best Finals..
My definition of a dominant Finals series is obvious..
Where is this going?(other than the obvious agenda)..
Terrell Davis (pre-injury) was ridiculous. Kubiak's OL's and zone-blocking schemes were great, but Gary, Anderson, et al didn't hold a candle to the beast that was TD.
His SB against the Packers was dominant, and the following season he rushed for over 2,000 yards. Then he got injured.
Clinton Portis had he stayed in Denver woulda put up HOF numbers (granted he is really talented). Davis in any other system is a 1,000-1,200 yard rusher.
iirc, TD suffered that injury trying to prevent a Brian Griese pick-6![]()
The agenda is obvious. It's not hidden.
When shots are taken, I'd at least like them to be backed up.
Obvious agenda. I'm not hiding it.
Instead of stating your definition is obvious. Could you clarify it for me. I don't know what your definition of a "dominant Finals" is. What is it?
Tbh your love for Kobe and his 2004 finals performance is pretty similar to Spurfan's love for Lebron being agreat in classy loser
in 2007.
