Is 2011 and 2012 Wade the best teammate LeBron's ever played with?

[bksballer89]

The most with less? It is not even close to a debate that
Dirk(and also Hakeem) won with way less than Lebron...and those Heat teams were stacked in the back to back run, filled with guys that knew how to play their roles. Also, let's not forget that D wade did indeed play a huge part in that 2nd year. Almost every time the Heat ran into a must win game, Dwyane Wade was there. Lebron was the lead dog, but he didn't carry a bunch of nobodies. As for the Bosh/Horace grant debate, not to debate who's better, but Grant never meant as much to the Bulls as Bosh did to the heat.

NBA Finals- D-Wade avg 23 PPG, 6 RPG, & 5 APG

2nd round vs Indy

Down 2-1 in Indy, Wade goes off for 30, 9, and 6 in game 4.

Game 6 vs Indy that year, Wade goes off for 41 & 10 to close out that series

Excluding his no show in game 3 of that series, here are D-Wade point totals in the other 5 games

G1-29
G2-24
G4- 30
G5-28
G6- 41

Even last year even though he had the knee problems, he still showed up in the 2013 finals. He had 32,25, and 23 in 3 of the final 4 games of that finals

These Lebron dick riders make me sick

PRECISELY. There were games when he didn't look like himself, but I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved for coming up big in the majority of the biggest games

 

[bksballer89]

Yup even this year he played well in the playoffs until the finals. Through the first 3 games of the ECF he was avg.over 24 ppg & 4 apg....and oh yeah in the close out game vs Brooklyn all he did was drop 28 points

 

[gordontrue]

Without question. After wade and bosh there's a pretty chasmic drop off.

How can you guys forget

Anyone else creeped out by this pic?

Anyone forget Shaq, it was still Shaq even if he did have to use a cane.

LeBron had a stacked team in Miami. they just ran into a team that was much better. it happens

 

[lakersrule]

Wade, Bosh, and some solid role players/veterans is little help? Someone is trying too hard again.

Exactly Miami had quality role players who played their role just fine to help the big 3

 

[gordontrue]

In terms of the roster and the talent around him... LeBron's time in Miami will never be and shouldn't be referred to as having little help. They had a core of 3 great players and a good group of role players. That was a great group that should and did contend.

There were, however, individual games and series in which LeBron got little help. When the rest of the roster was largely MIA.

To be fair, there was also a couple of series (2011) in which LeBron was MIA (at least by his standards)


All in all, the Miami FO delivered all 4 years. There were 2 series that were complete failures (1 they probably should've won and one where they ran into a team playing much better) and 4 years that were largely successful.

I'm not talking about just Finals runs. I'm referring to LeBron's entire career.

Past great players, for the most point have relied on other teammates either to be the first scoring option or rebounding or passing etc. etc....

Since LeBrons 2nd year, he's been asked / relied upon to pretty much do it all for the Cavs to have a chance. And that includes on the defensive end to.

Dirk's played with some great players for multiple years. Especially early in his career. Hakeem got to the Finals in his second year. He def. didn't get there by himself.

Grant did a lot of the dirty work down low for Chicago while providing good defense and very serviceable offense. Bosh provided the same except for doing the dirty work / banging down low for rebounds. I'd rather have Grant than Miami Bosh.

i gotta agree Wade is the best teammate he's had

 

[Jims_Doors]

People always shitting on D-Wade.

It will take me about 5 seconds to post all the huge games had in the playoffs in 2012

How am I shitting on Wade? I included the 2012 season in the thread title.


ahhhhh never mind. I saw where I said 2nd year was a stretch...I was wrong there, but had it right in the thread title.

 

[Desean12345]

Did Botslayer just sayToni Kukoc and Horace Grant are better than Chris Bosh?

LOL even Dennis Rodman is a stretch. He was an all time great rebounder and good defender but im not sure that makes him better than Bosh.

 

[RobToxin]

This thread again.....

Everybody from Scottie Pippen to BJ Armstrong belongs in the Hall of Fame and carried Jordan's mediocre ass to greatness while the only teammate LeBron ever had was an old, broke down D-Wade.

I'm talking Miami Bosh, not Toronto Bosh.

Not sure if you got to see Rodman play for San Antonio but he provided a major impact for both the Spurs and after being traded to Chicago.

He was asked to rebound and play defense. Chicago had enough scoring power and Dennis fit perfectly to provide that when the Bulls lost Grant when he went to Orlando.

He was a rebounding machine that led to many second chance points and fast break points.

Who called Wade old and broken down for the 4yrs James played with him?

All I asked was if Wade was the best player James had played with for multiple years

 

[Jims_Doors]

Yeah, they were so stacked that in the last 3 postseasons, LeBron led Miami in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals.

your point?

wade was a top 10 player in the league for 2 of those seasons

bosh is a top 5 pf in the league

chalmers was a good role player until this yrs playoffs. cole is a good backup

he has shooters all of the place to dish it to. one of if not the best 3 pt shooter of all time (ray allen), mike miller, jones, battier (until this season). it seems people think to win your need a fricken all star at every position. the heat just ran into the most complete team in a very long time.
