You know what...don't be insane! He hasn't arrived and HE WILL NEVER BE MIKE!! You ever see Mike loft up an air ball at crunch time...........PLEASE......don't suck him off like all the media, you are better then that! They are a ONE man team PERIOD!

[FATCAT]

I agree sooner I would have to take Wade over Lebron right know. Much better shooter.

[Fast Eddie]

...so was MJ...a one man team...that other guy Scottie Pippen...aka D. Gooden...yes MJ threw up a air ball against the Cavs in his early days with da Bulls...i got to see MJ play 5 times...once when he came back..he sux then for the Wizards...my best one was in Atlanta...we were the to see the Dead and the Bulls v. Hawks with Dominque Wilkins was on Thursday the night befor the Dead...i said hey guys and gals let's go find some tix for the ball game...they all 9 of 'em said whatever...never would they think that I headed out by myself and hung out @ the omni and 3 business men come up to me and said you lookin for a ticket and i said yes sir...how much do you want for the ticket on the floor under the basket and they said buy us all a beer and here you go...guess who made the last second winning shot under our basket...

I am not too sure that the NBA isn't big time FIXED!! I mean this Cavs team in not that good......yet they are right in it with the Best team in the East......call me crazy but I am not so sure Stern doesnt want Lebron to get a ring like my boy Wade did last year! Good for the league etc. But I am a HEAT fan and LOVE Wade. James is good don't get me wrong, but he couldn't carry MJ's jock.......the only reason he is shining right now is because the rest of the CAV'S SUUUCK!!

[soonerbud]

Dude......are you INSANE Gooden is James PIPPEN.....when his career is over I doubt we ever look at Gooden as ONE of the top 50 players of all time....get off the bottle Eddie. This team isn't even in the catagory with the first Bulls team Mike was on........Trust me, James is what he is......a MEDIA baby! They want him to be GREAT he has to be lots of $$$$ riding on it.......but DWADE with a much better TEAM has his ring....No comparison Gooden and Pippen PLEASE!!!

[kbsooner21]

I'm the biggest MJ fan around, but Lebron is killing em tonight! Wow!!

[soonerbud]

There you go now dumb ass Doug Collins is on your side calling the performance Jordanesque...........Unbelievable!!! The NBA has to be fixed!

[soonerbud]

NBA HAS TO BE FIXED...........or the Pistons just don't give a shit.........I hate the Spurs, but if "THE GREAT" James gets to the Finals (Then I will KNOW it is fixed) I will be the BIGGEST Tim Duncan fan around....PLEEASE!!!

Remember, LeBron is 22.........

[ELJUGO]

Hate on James all you want, the kid is a stud...and just beginning. He is by far the best player on the court at age 22.

[orientalhawn]

LeBron showed me something...he is a VERY GOOD player.

I think he has a little Magic Johnson in him and if he gets a side kick.....

Doesn't the fact that ONE man can carry a team to the conference championship (kinda like MJ used to do), make him pretty damn good?? Your statement doesn't make sense...

I agree. I read that last night and saw how it was contradictory to itself all with the same post. But I didn't want my emotion to blind me, as it was right after the game.

Interesting that someone else brought up how they'd take Wade over LeBron for some reason. In the SI I got in the mail yesterday, they polled NBA players the same thing, and I think it was 72% that said LeBron. One would think they would have a good perspective to pick.

I don't know about Wade being the better shooter either. Here are both of their FG% the last 3 years:

Wade
47.8, 49.5, 49.1

LeBron
47.2, 48.0, 47.6

Slight advantage for Wade. Now from 3:

Wade
28.9, 17.1, 26.6

LeBron
35.1, 33.5, 31.9

A little more of an advantage for LeBron there.

Now FTs:

Wade
76.2, 78.3, 80.7

LeBron
75.0, 73.8, 69.8

Edge to Wade, and it certainly isn't good that LeBron is regressing there.

However, if you had each player taking 10 three point shots from 5 points around the arc, 25 from each elbow, and 25 from each baseline about 17 feet out, I think LeBron would shoot a higher percentage. LeBron would make more from three, Wade would hit more elbow jumpers, and probably a push from the baseline.

Not trying to take anything away from Wade, as he is a top 5 NBA player, but remember, Miami has a much better supporting cast and Wade doesn't get doubled as much as LeBron. As you saw last night, and this whole series, LeBron is coached by an inept coach that leads to LeBron getting off alot of tough shots. Teammates repeatedly passing to him with 3 on the shot clock and him 23 feet away doesn't help either.

I'm sure from the Tigers logo that there was more emotion in that comment last night than logic, and one could reasonably take Wade over Lebron. But inply that it's obvious is far from the case.
