THE Argument- 03-04 Draft Edition.

D-Wade is too injury prone. and what has he done for his team since Shaq left? Oh, that's right. Not even a 1/10th of what LeBron has. LeBron puts up the most shots because his team is terrible.

Wade can't lead a bad team to the playoffs, let alone the NBA Finals.

D-Wade isn't even close to being on LeBron's level. And anyone who thinks he is, has something wrong in their head.

This is how I rank the top 3.

Lebron James
Dwayne Wade
Carmelo Anthony

Lebron's stats are incredible. He also led a mediocre team to the NBA Finals. Wade needed Shaq. He's been nothing but injured since Shaq left.

Shaq helped Wade alot more than ppl think. But I think you underestimate how good Wade is, and I'm willing to bet you he leads this team, which is not a great one, to the playoffs. He hasn't been healthy lately, but he is by no means injury prone. He hasn't had a ton of injuries, he has just been unlucky enough to have two kind of serious ones.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

two "kind of serious injuries" in 5 years is injury prone.

I never said Wade wasn't good--I simply said he isn't on LeBron's level. Which he isn't. I'm sure he will lead the Heat to the Playoffs--I'd hope so. With him, Beasley and Marion, the Heat are a better all around team than the Cavs.

Yet the Cavs will still go further in the Playoffs, because LeBron does so much for his team.

I'd disagree that the Heat are better than the Cavs. The Heat have little depth and absolutely NO size. Wade will get them to the playoffs. Two injuries in four years i not injury prone, its unlucky. Injury prone is a serious injury that continues to disrupt the player for years afterward. Wade has been as good as LeBron in the Olympics, if you've been watching those games. I think we are jsut beginning to see a fully recuperated Wade. Him being injury prone is a very very unfair assesment.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

The Olympics don't count, at all. Also, the Cavs have zero depth as well. Sure, we have size, but our team as a whole is bad.

I hope Wade does get healthy--he's a great player, and I like watching him.

But to say he's better than LeBron is crazy. And after all, that's the point of this post.

[Lefty]

I really dont follow NBA that much and not taking anything away from Wade but didnt Miami only win like 15 games last year?

[Juvenile404]

I think the Olympics count in this case. Being that Wade hasn't been healthy, like I said, this is the first of Wade being fully recovered. So it's the latest stats and gameplay we've got to go on. I think last was a fluke for the Heat.

[nadeau01_johnson48]

LOL. I'm not gonna argue with you, because right now, you're basing who the best to come out of the 2003 draft was on the Olympics, and that's rediculous.

[Juvenile404]

I'm not basing who is better on the Olympics. I'm merely stating that you cannot say Wade is injury prone because the Olympics show he is back at full health. I'm saying he is doing as good as LeBron in the Olympics. And second, I said LeBron was better. All I'm saying is that you are completely underestimating Wade. Wade is close to as good as LeBron. But not quite as good.
