Is AD the best teammate James has ever had?

[tlance]

I agree with you. We gotta see how many titles they can win together to see if ad is better then wade

That doesn’t work.

There are other players on the team too. I will take the Heat’s others led by Bosh over the Laker’s others.

And I don’t think that one is particularly close.

The Heat team had a big 3, the Lakers don't.

Kuzma would be the guy to progress into that #3 but not comparable at all to Bosh at this point. He's 25. It's either that or once the cap goes up in the next couple years (possibly) they have might have a shot to sign that 3rd option or Lebron sacrifices once he starts to decline a bit.

Yeah, I know......thanks for that hot take.

Lebron took a back seat to Wade. He has not done that for AD. That may have been more about Wade/Levron overlap in skill sets though.

Overlapping skills was part of it. They were also close friends and the Heat were "D-Wades team". Lebron didn't want to step on his toes, so they would essentially "take turns" with the ball.

After the loss to the Mavs in year 1, they figured out that Lebron was the better player and he took the lead role.

Not the first 2 years.

or at least year and a half.

Wade got hurt and fell off pretty quick though

I stand by it

I think you all are forgetting about that magical season with Carlos boozer.

Prime AD is a better player than older Wade IMO, and the fit makes it even more in AD's favor

What about prime wade vs prime Davis?

Is they a real pic or photochopped?

You always gotta go with the 7-footer with the handles and outside shooting, especially when he can defend and rebound like AD.

Harder to say. But LeBron didn't really play with prime Wade.

 

[DorianRo]

I don't know.. hes played with so many from one coast to the next

I think you can argue Irving as well. I mean they did beat the Warriors afterall and Irving was major part in that. There really aren't any great teams now for the Lakers to play against. Yea he hasn't done much since Lebron but hes also been injured alot and neither did AD. LOL

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

It's close but I'll say no.

Wade was.

I think AD is the best teammate he has had.
While offensively, Wade and AD were different, they were both great.

Defensively is where the difference is, IMO. AD is a DPOTY candidate each year. Wade was very good defensively pre-Lebron, but nowhere near AD's level.

Well you're wrong.

Nuh uh. You are!

 

[ChrisperJ10]

According to twitter. It's Caruso, followed closely by Boobie Gibson.

This! Gibson was the best by a mile!

It's real.

But it was a perfect angle. He didn't exactly blast him in the face.

That's Ira Newble, if anyone forgot. MAC basketball at its finest.
