    Wade and Lebron really did have some classic head to head matchups...Wade taking a bunch of rejects to the playoffs with a MVP-like season.

    As good as Wade is i really use to think it was close between Bron' and Wade as far as who was better when they were on seperate teams , but when u see them out there on the floor together it's clear that Bron' just so much better than everyone else...i use to think Wade was slightly better before Bron got there.

    Nah Wades not better than Lebron now...I'm glad he went to Mia tho cause he is the best in the league...with that said, I favor wades style of play more. I'd say he sacrificed his game more relying on cuts n in the post to accommodate LeBron running the show...and u see whats happening right about now...shouts to the role players who contributed as well

    Wade is better than Lebron head to head, and Wade had a case for being better than Lebron overall 2 years back.... but when Wade saw that Lebron couldn't play 1b via Lebron embarrassing himself in the Finals, Wade decided to take a back seat and it ended in them winning a ring.

    If anything Wade deserves more props than Lebron because he was willing to take a back seat to someone who's really not better than him given all the intangibles.

    If Lebron was really on some team first ? , he would have 2 rings by now. Instead Wade had to make ALL the sacrifice.

    Btw y'all don't know it yet, but Melo is going to son Lebron in the conference finals.... and probably win the whole thing.

    It's a shame we likely won't get to see him tested individually, in his Prime, like the other Stars from the past.



    Lets be real bruh , don't matter who out there aint nobody stopping no damn Tight end sized basketball player that moves like a PG

    Only person that has ever stopped Lebron was Lebron when he was mentally weak , but as for actual play nobody would be able to guard him ..not at no 6'8 260 moving like that , he's too strong and too fast.

    don't matter who you put out there he'd still get his..

    Of course he would still get his. KD averaged 30 in the Finals mainly against LeBron and Battier, but that's expected. You can't fully stop a great player like that.

    Check at around the 2:50 Mark

    Hakeem saying he only plays about 5 guys a year who he had to get ready for. LeBron ain't really got to get ready like that for anybody, regardless of his talent.

    Just 10 years ago, we probably had the greatest collection of wing players at one point. Now? Not so much

    Should've been Melo since they both came in the leque in 2003.

    You're letting ESPN mold your opinion. The difference between Lebron and Wade isn't that big at all. Anything Lebron can do, Wade can do.

    There's a reason why Wade won a ring and a finals MVP before Lebron even got close to winning a ring. Then Wade brought him to promise land again only to find out that Lebron was a choke, and Lebron could only win on his terms.

    Wade sonning Lebron on some WTF are you doing ? .

    He doesnt really have a rival right now but once Durant comes into his own probably in the next 2-3 seasons it will be him.

    Carmelo with Pierce close behind, Melo was regular season rival and Pierce was post season rival

    Kevin Durant..
    Once he learn how to take over and lead OKC..
    he needs to stop letting Russel Westbrook gun all the time..


    I don't see that happening, it's pretty obvious that Westbrook is the alpha personality and heart of the Thunders. Durant is a great scorer no doubt, but he just doesn't strike me as a ? who will keep fighting like how Westbrook does.

    As for this thread, i would say Pierce. They had a great rivalry for a while until Lebron finally got some help.

    I agree but that was a prime Wade vs. a pre-prime Lebron. They were on the same level or Wade was probably a lil better.

    Now it's a post-prime Wade and a prime Lebron together. Lebron is way better at this point.

    It was D-Wade........ until he figured it would be more beneficial to his career to become a ? rider.

    I was talking about this to my partner the other day. As of right now, LeBron has no rivals realistically. Durant isn't quite ready, Kobe's just too old, & I'm convinced 'Melo just don't care enough.

    No one counts that, since we all knew who was going to win that series.

    Dwayne Wade (yes, him too)
    Gotta go with D wade now that I think about it... Wade will always have one more championship than bron as long as they stay together. Those two are like bros. now.

    But the most honest answer is currently himself.. but if he gets 5 rings then he will start getting the Jordan treatment, he's just not there yet.
