It's funny as hell that people think LeBron is a better player than Wade at this point. LeBron is a better scorer? I don't think so. He needs to take more shots than Wade to score more points. If Wade played in the system that LeBron plays where the entire offense revolves around him, he'd probably be challenging Kobe for the scoring title. Wade plays with Shaq, Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, etc. so he isn't going to drop 30+ a night. Last year, when Shaq was hurt and Wade was not only the #1, but the only big option on the team, I think Wade's numbers were something like 31/6/5 at about 49% shooting.
You can't compare three point shooting as to who is the better player, that's just flat out ridiculous. Dwyane Wade drops 27 a night without taking any three's, outside of halfcourt shots. If the player doesn't need to be an efficient 3-point shooter to score, then using the ability as an argument is just stupid. You can not, I repeat, you can not be a "great" player if you're not clutch. LeBron James is one of the league's worse players in the clutch, period. Dwyane Wade is a top 3 player in the clutch, and that means EVERYTHING. LeBron can do it for 40 minutes, sure. But when the game is on the line, what is he, like 3/17 or something? That is HORRIBLE.
Wade is in a better class than LeBron. Wade's in the Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson class. When LeBron learns how to come up big late in games, then he can join that class. As far as I'm concerned, LBJ can drop 35/10/10 for all I care...but until he learns how to be a clutch player, he should never be considered as one of the greats.
Oh yeah, and another thing, should we even discuss Wade vs. LeBron on the defensive side? Hell no. That's not even something I'd waste time discussing. LeBron is a piss poor defender 85% of the time, and the other 15% he's decent. Wade is a great defender for the most part, and at 6'4, he'll actually contest any player in the league. How are you gonna be a better player than another when you don't even have a complete game? That's just ridiculous. People compare LeBron to Jordan, yet he's not even on Kobe's level yet.
