What's your opinion of Wade now?

[joshdaboss]

No idea what's funny about that. Manu can impact the game without scoring, in a ton of ways. The same can't be said for Dirk.

[Bill_Brasky]

Are we gonna have to do ring count with Manu/Dirk?

OH wait Cuban might not get them rings, so technically Mavs may remain ringless haha

Think Wade made a case that he's on Lebron's level if not higher. Established himself as the alpha dog on the Heat. Wade also moved a couple of spots on my all-time list as well. He had a good finals series, but I don't want to overreact because it seemed like Dallas was going to let Wade get his. The finals just reinforces my thoughts on how it's hard to determine exactly who's the best player in the league... I think you could legitimately make a case for these guys, while in the past it was Kobe or James

rose
kobe
james
wade
howard
dirk

The one thing about Wade though is he's hurt more frequently than the other superstars.

He was hurt and not a 100%. Many here seem to believe he faked the injury but Wade wouldn't go through all that costing them the le for something so pointless. He wanted that le, his reaction at the end of game 6 says it all.

Neither deserves a top 5 mention right now, I don't even know if they are top 10.

Rose shot a whopping 6% with Lebron guarding him in the ECF. Kobe only had 1 layup and 0 dunks while his team got swept by the Mavs. That alone speaks for itself.

[Sean Cagney]

as Hollinger said... this Finals helped Dirk's legacy, hurt Lebron's legacy... Wade's remains unchanged.

I agree with this here.

[Jacob1983]

It's unfair to Lecrab to say that Wade's legacy remains unchanged after this Finals. He should be taking some of the blame because he was suppose to be the next Jordan after the 2006 Finals.


Heat fans just mad that Lebron is still ringless. Brian Cardinal has more rings than Lebron.

Wade WAS playing at a finals MVP level. With NO help from LeBron in the 4th quarter, he can't be expected to beat Dallas 1 on 5 again like in 06.

[Jacob1983]

Wade was an idiot for letting Lebron join "his" team. When you have two ball hogs like Wade and Lebron on the same team, what the do you expect? Lebron obviously had an iden y crisis. He was the man on the Cavs but when he came to the Heat, it was a different story. He was use to that. I think that messed him up in the head a little a bit and hurt his self confidence.

Agree. I just don't see them ever coexisting. It was so obvious in the finals LeBron needs to dominate the ball, and we saw what happened. LeBron to Orlando for Dwight at the deadline.

[Jacob1983]

Or maybe Bosh to Orlando?
