He's not even the best player in the league this year.
Wade, Lebron DH, CP3, Duncan, are all better this season in my mind.
But i've made my peace with the fact that Wade will always be over shadowed by Kobe and Lebron, even though he's easily been on or above both of their levels since 2004.
Now if he said the Lakers are the best 'team' in the league i'd probably agree. But the best team doesn't always win so who cares really.
