No I didn't. You just took it that way. Did you even read my posts? I praised LeBron for everything he does except playing defense and coming up big in the clutch.

LeBron has the ability to hit the 3, causing the defender to focus on another part of your game, making you harder to defend. You put Wade on LeBrons team right, or the teams in the past, and have the offense go around wade, and the defense focus on wade, he would not be doing what lebron is doing. Whats Wade gonna do when he gets an open 3 and the they double team him to stop him from getting to the basket? hes going to miss the 3. He could not carry a team the way lebron does. could he carry a team a team to the next level? sure, im not downplaying Wades ability, kid is amazing. But not like LeBron can carry a team.
You made a lot of false statements there, especially about teams focusing on Wade, forcing him to take the three. How many games has Shaq missed in the past 2 years? It's gotta be atleast over 40. What does Wade average in those games? Like I said, around 31 points a night and 49% shooting. You do not need to shoot the three in order to carry a team, that's just ridiculous. That's like saying a big man MUST be a great shot blocker in order to carry a team. Michael Jordan was a pretty average 3-point shooter, if you would even say that much. You're making too much of a big deal about three point shooting. When teams throw 2 players at Wade, he still gets to the basket anyways! LeBron isn't as nice as he is in doing that, so he has to depend on the three. Still, Wade can drop back and take the long-range 2 with ease. He has developed into an excellent jump shooter. You don't need a 3-point shot to be a good shooter. Rip Hamilton is a fantastic shooter who isn't known for shooting three's.
As for LeBron carrying a team, are you kidding? Like I said, this kid is one of the league's biggest chokers in the clutch, and this if factual. What's gonna happen when he FINALLY carries that team to the playoffs this year, where it's a must for you to come up big in the clutch? They're gonna get their ***** handed to them. Dwyane Wade on the other hand, will not fail you when you need him the most. Sure, everybody misses a game deciding shot if you're gonna take so many (mind you, Wade hasn't missed one yet), but you don't have such a horrible clutch percentage like LeBron does and be able to "carry" a team. Wade has already proven that he can carry a half-decent Shaq-less Heat and play even better basketball when the other team is focusing on him, and him only.
