I think it's the other way around. I think Magic carried Kareem to those 5 championships. Remember, Kareem never won a title w/ Lakers until Magic was drafted. Even after Kareem retired, Lakers made it to the finals and were still a force to be reckoned with until Magic screwed the wrong bitch.There is no way Shaq would've won the title without Wade last season.... or Kobe during their back-back-back.Valuebets said:
Also if you think Shaq had something to do with Wades ring last year then you did not watch the NBA Finals. Wade carried that team on his shoulders in the finals and took over at times.
Also I live in Chicago and watched Jordan every game for so long and I didn't say Wade was as good as him I said he is the closest I have seen and we have heard these Jordan comparisons for years and this is the closest.
Also Wade does play solid defense and if you think Wades supporting cast was even close to good last year then I am confused about the state of basketball. He had a bunch of washed up players that couldn't win somewhere else and then they come and play under Wade and they get there ring. Remember Kobe and Shaq couldn't get Peyton his ring but Wade did with a lesser Shaq that is what people seem to forget.
Also I strongly disagree that Wade better get his rings now and his 20-25 record is with a terrible team. THey were not a great regular season team last yaer but when the playoffs came around Wade was good enough to get them through...
Also Wade did get blown out by Kansas but this was after putting up a triple double in a game against the "best" team in the country Kentucky. That year Kentucky had the best defense in the country and Wade made them look silly.
YES WADE had 12 TO's HE HAD A TERRIBLE GAME! AND A TERRIBLE GAME WHERE HE WAS DOWN 14 in the fourth and scored 21 points to lead his team back while hitting clutch free throw after clutch free throw something Lebron couldn't do.... That is the greatest Terrible game I have ever seen played

You Are So Wrong. Wade Is Not The Closest Thing To Jordan. If There Is Such A Thing It Would Be Kobe. Look At The Team He Is Winning With.
As Far As Wade Playing Solid Defense, Quit Watching Espn And Watch The Game Yourself. Crawford Just Lit His Ass Up Last Week. He Is A Great Defender Off The Ball But Not On The Ball. That Is Not Only From Me But From Pat The Rat.
Wade Would Have Never Had The Finals He Had If Not For Shaq Carrying His Ass Against Chic And Det.

Carrying him? Shaq had a terrible series vs. Detroit.... are you kidding... Im done talking if you think Shaq carried him against Detroit... Shaq played like crap against detroit... always going to be haters... I NEVER COMPARE ANYONE TO JORDAN!!! This is just the closest I have seen I am done writing I wrote two paragraphs explaining stuff i felt... My opinion may not be rihgt in ur mind and that is fine... but Shaq did not carry Wade haha

First of all. Shaq is huge even if he does not play well. The attention he commands is unreal. SO Shaq is a differencemaker even when his play is sub par. Miami was also coached by Riley and he is a great coach. Finally they got lucky against a better team in Dallas. Dallas had em HAD EM down 3-0 and let is slip away. Give Miami a lot of credit but the better team lost. If Wade is so great let him lead the USA in international competition. They LOST. I got news for you if Koby plays next year we will win. Koby is a better one on one player than Wade. Wade is great but he is not in mAgic Johnson's league or Bird or Jordan. I do like Wade as he is a class act too.
I do agree that Kobe is closer to Jordan than Wade is because of his overall game. Kobe led the league in scoring and also makes all-defense year after year. He also makes quite a few game winning shots. I remember they surveyed NBA GMs and majority picked Kobe as the player they'd most like taking a clutch shot.
Kobe was robbed on the MVP last season because of who he took to the playoffs. Smush Parker - NBDL reject..... Kwame Brown - #1 bust.... Odom - 1 failed drug test away from lifetime suspension..... Ronny Turiaf - open heart surgery a year earlier..... Chris Mihm - benchwarmer w/ Celtics. I mean they were 1 lousy rebound away from beating the Suns.
