Dwayne Wade is amazing

[BigGameBulls]

Ok dude I'm sure...... That's like saying UCF is equal to Miami

Yeah two year players who give you 20 pts and 10 rebounds every night are worthless in the NBA  :.

[Dmince]

Top 5 players in the league:

1) Nash-makes every player around him better. The fact they went as far as they did without Stoudemire is unbelievable

2) Lebron- Every game he plays the opposing teams game plan is focuse entirely on stopping him. The fact he puts up the numbers he does is insane.

3) Nowitzki- No one in the NBA can guard him and he is so efficient He is shoots such a high percentage, rebounds, and never turns the ball over.

4) Duncan-Unstoppable in the low post. One of the only guys left in the NBA who can get 30 on less than 15 shot attempts.

5) Wade- Having Shaq, even a Shaq who is not who he once was, opens a lot up, and takes the focus off him. He never gets double-teamed, while everyone above him on the list has doubles, sometimes triples, and (in Lebron's case) zone defenses crafted for him.

Most overrated player in the NBA: KOBE- cannot do it when it counts. Has yet to win a series in which he was the best player on his team. He is the best regular season scorer-but thats it

Howard will be every bit as good as Wade is now.

They are both special talents at their position, both with tremendous potential to be one of the best at that position.

Lebron is one of the best at each position, 1-4, and he probably could play the 5 against a smaller center like Ben Wallace.  He's just that good and to say that Wade is in his league is absurd.

Everything that Wade does well, Lebron does better and Lebron has no supporting cast, like the best center to ever play the game (Shaq).  The best defensive PG to ever play the game (Payton).  5 certifiable #1 players on the same team (Wade, Shaq, Payton, Walker, Mourning)

If Lebron had Shaq, Walker and Mourning on his team... this series wouldn't be 2-1 Dallas.  It would be 3-0 Lebron's team.

He is THAT good.

Velcro is completely right with everything he said in his post.  My only knock on James (if it is even a knock) is no way he is only 20 or 21.  He looked 24 in high school.  But, he is That Good...

LOL... kinda like that little league kid in NYC that claimed to be 14, but was actually 17

Kobe is still the best offensive player in the game. I do not like him as a player but the man can score (in more ways then one). 81 points in a game is sick!

[Velcro]

Kobe is great offensively, but he is a player that must have a good supporting cast, but not one that is too good, or he gets mad at not being the #1 option all the time.  His ego is too big.  That is where I would much rather have Wade or Lebron.  Lebron has a huge ego too, but it doesn't affect his team play.  He gets just as much joy about scoring 40 as he does dishing out 10 assists and scoring 10 pts.  

[UCFBeach]

Kobe will never win another championship.  I would like to see him try and score 81 against some of the old piston or celtics teams.  He would have been knocked on his butt before halftime.

[Velcro]

He will never score 81 again either.  He will be knocked on his butt the first time get gets near 60.

wade is the total package, plus he is humble both off and on the court.  he is a coaches dream player.  he is a team player, has at least 6 or more assists a game, scores in the 20's-30's every game, and brings teams back from deficets.  he also had a great game when he had the flu last series, like a certain former Chicago Bulls player did awhile ago..i'd take wade over kobe or lebron anyday.  and steve nash is a ball hog.  he wants to score every time he touches the ball and definetly did not deserve to be the mvp two years in a row, there are better people than him in the league, and we saw one of those score 14 straight points last night in the 4th with 5 fouls and a knee that took the weight of shaq into it.

and to say shaq isn't as good as he used to be is an understatement.  he lost 35 lbs this season, is quicker than he has been, and besides shaky foul shots he is playing a better game, imo.
