Wade was (and at times still is) a great player. But at no point has he ever been better than Lebron. He was more clutch and at times a better scorer, but he wasn't as good overall as Lebron. Maybe he could've been if he had added a 3 point shot, but we'll never know.
lebron is just now developing his 3 point game he was never consistent with it before, and dwade is the best player pound for pound since allen iverson. The only reason he doesnt score or assist as much is because prior to lebron joining them, he had a terrible supporting cast full of old or extremely young players. Lebrons teams were shit too but not as bad as miamis supporting cast. Even now dwade makes a bunch of great passes but they simply dont convert
***** being small doesnt have its advantages in a game like basketball, it doesnt gurantee youre faster or stronger or anything, smaller players generally have to stay at the top of the key. being bigger is clearly an advantage in basketball if kevin durant or lebron were wades size, theyd still be phenomenal but not nearly as good. Being bigger gives you longer arms, longer legs so you can go over defenders much easier, being smaller forces you to have to maneuver around your defenders, something wade in his prime did and he would also go straight at them as if he was a big man which is why his body took so much abuse.
Wait guys, even if your small, or big, that personifies on how great you are, Spud Webb can dunk and he is 5'7, Nate Robinson is 5'9 and he dunks too, Muggsy Bogues, a great defender and passer, as for big man like LeBron, big fast and strong, wait, I made a rhyme!
Id have to say something about that though.. when you think about it Wade led the league in scoring in 09 and was crazy dominant! Lebron won MVP only because he had a better record but wade was like top 20 in blocks! was shooting the three very nicely that season still needed some work on that though and besides that was top 5 i believe in steals maybe even led at some points in the season, and ofcourse like always clutch all the way through! if he did all this WITHOUT a great three point shot and If he stayed healthy plus never formed aliance with lebron. Hes basically just as good as lebron without a three.... says alot when you think about it man. All that was missing was a three point shot he can fall back on and he wouldve been imo better than lebron
Bruh, wade was like a mini lebron back in those days. Remember wade used to do chase down blocks too... ppl must of forgot. Too bad his knees breaking down on him tho
if you look at lebrons supporting cast, it wasnt much better than dwade's supporting cast when miami was constantly a low playoff seed. that tells you how great lebron was in regular seasons
ok they almost made the playoffs in the weak conference (east,back then) once. what an amazing accomplishment. they will talk about that 20 years form now 4 sure...
I'm pretty sure he did show up dude he helped save their ass against Indiana in games 4, 5, and 6 and made some huge plays against Boston. He averaged like 25 5 and 5 in the finals which is a great statline but it was just overshadowed by Lebrons greatness in the finals.
Looking at these almost, two decades old games, LeBron was unbelievable and Wade was terrific! If he and Wade had teamed up, a few years earlier, they would have won four or five chips. LeBron is still fast but he ain’t this version of LeBron fast.
ya lebron is an amazing passer which allowed him to go catch and overall gave him more oppurtunities when lebron had the ball this probably was the same for delonte
As far as number 2, Chris Bosh has more to offer to Miami than Dwade. This is because he can do things and fill gaps Lebron can't. When it was just Lebron and/or Bosh both were able to put up the best numbers of their careers so far and the team is winning over 94% of it's games. But the same teams they blew out they got beat when Wade was playing. When Wade plays Lebron has to play bigger which hinders both Lebron and Bosh. Wade is one of my favorite players but I'm not blind
they couldve been best if wade wasnt so injury prone and dealing with two bad knees 3 out of the 4 years together :( im gonna miss this D.Wade... i dont think he cares much about being a top contender anymore i think the age thing has gotten to his head
funny how wade didnt show up this whole playoffs but knee drain is an excuse but if it was the opposite lebron james would have been sacrifice by now smh somethings just not fair.
in 2012 heat were 12-1 with without wade with lebron and/or bosh. 16-1 since 2011. When Wade doesn't play the heat's offense is ridiculous Fastbreak looks like it's on 'roids. Not that Wade is not a great player (top 5 at least) but he tries to do too much by himself. Statistically, when Wade doesn't play, Lebron and Bosh almost make up the difference. which means Wade's contribution is close to o or detrimental. That's why Chris Bosh is their 2nd mvp. That being said Wade is still a boss.
Im pretty sure i said HE WAS TORONTO. he was the reason they were going to the playoffs. look at what wade did without Lebron and bosh and a decent team, lost in the playoffs. same with Lebron. i'll say wade got a championship, but that's cause he had a helpful Shaq. Of course Bosh didn't go to the playoffs cause he was the only guy that put up points on the team.
against the knicks???? maybe by the Pacers in the semis.and lets not forget,that Wade was injured,and u and i both know that! there were games that James took over,and vice versa! in the finals?? absolutely,James was THE man!
they blew out the spurs and the lakers and handed the pacers their worst loss of the season. Lebron at 35-9-9 a game, Bosh at 25-12 a game. They'd miss Wade in the playoffs but in the regular season he's a detriment. Subtracting Wade and Bosh, Lebron still has better teammates than any of his cleveland teams. and he's won 60+ twice. (both times within the fist 75 games) add Bosh and their is a 70+ win team. Now add wade and you get 55-59ish. When Wade is on the court, Lebron statistically is
This is when Lebron James gave up on Cleveland Cavs and they formed a Superteam in Miami to win 2 championships! Now as you look back at Lebron James's 4 championships you realize how he was able to win them, by recruiting or joining other All Star players in the NBA! If you can't beat the best, then you should join the best!" Quote by Lebron James himself!
@kyrell rellytv actually it does not sound like Boston at all. Miami had 3 of the top 12 players in the league all younger than 30. Lebron & Bosh (26) and Wade (29). Boston absolutely DID NOT have 3 of the top 12 I can argue they didn't have 3 of the top 20 and they were all 30 and older. PAST THEIR PRIME. They were traded to Boston not Free Agents int heir prime getting together when in fact they should be carrying their teams and competing unlike Miami, struggling vs old teams
i have an idea. lets all get together when everyone else gets old and we can win championships together instead of competing for them, it will be soooo easy
at 75% and Bosh is about 65-70%. Not to mention Chalmers whose almost 18 ppg when Wade is gone. When Wade hasn't played the heat, Their offense is unstoppable. Wade is better than Bosh but not more valuable to Miami. Just look at what happened last year: They destroy the lakers with Bosh(no Wade) and then get clobbered with Wade (no Bosh). 32-17 this year when Wade is a starter. If Wade sat out a year I bet Miami would get 73 wins.
What? Did the commentator just say Mo Williams and Delonte West are 'one of the best backcourts in the NBA'? WHAT WAS HE SMOKING AND WHERE CAN I GET IT?
Delonte has never averaged 13 points in a season EVER. And Mo Williams averaged 17 his first year with the Cavs and 15 his second. But Williams and West is not even close to a good back court they were both inconsistent as hell.
that acrobatic layup to start the game was crazy then that dunk at the end ...mannnn... young lebron
I called off work to watch this game the fact it wasn't on national TV is crazy
Wade was (and at times still is) a great player. But at no point has he ever been better than Lebron. He was more clutch and at times a better scorer, but he wasn't as good overall as Lebron. Maybe he could've been if he had added a 3 point shot, but we'll never know.

You are crazy lol get off lebron lol
I miss these games... It was such a healthy rivalry!
Those 2 are on my favorite all time players list(also in the top 5)😂😂😂
Back in the days, they used to go at it!!!!!
great battle between these too we need more wade videos man keep em coming
10:02 shows the sportsmanship from both top players, so touching
Man D WADE and LeBron are soo FAST!!
Pat Riley is in the audience thinking "Soon"
9:57 That was simply beautiful... a real game of basketball
Bruh, wade was like a mini lebron back in those days. Remember wade used to do chase down blocks too... ppl must of forgot. Too bad his knees breaking down on him tho
if you look at lebrons supporting cast, it wasnt much better than dwade's supporting cast when miami was constantly a low playoff seed. that tells you how great lebron was in regular seasons
Mo Williams was an Allstar that year
and mo was never an all star again after lebron left
OH YES HE WAS!!!!
the best battle they ever had
ok they almost made the playoffs in the weak conference (east,back then) once. what an amazing accomplishment. they will talk about that 20 years form now 4 sure...
lol oh my god. that last dunk.
I'm pretty sure he did show up dude he helped save their ass against Indiana in games 4, 5, and 6 and made some huge plays against Boston. He averaged like 25 5 and 5 in the finals which is a great statline but it was just overshadowed by Lebrons greatness in the finals.
That dunk at the end by bron Bron my goodness 😂
If Wade never gets injured, he's easily the best player since Jordan.
He said Brandon Roy had the steal high at 10. There's another player that was a beast. He could drop a quiet 40 without all this flash.
4:07 BEAST
wade, 7 steals on "one of the better backcourts in the NBA".
Well they averaged a combined for 30+ points, Mo was an allstar and delonte played exceptional
Looking at these almost, two decades old games, LeBron was unbelievable and Wade was terrific! If he and Wade had teamed up, a few years earlier, they would have won four or five chips. LeBron is still fast but he ain’t this version of LeBron fast.
Wade was the best player period 2005, 2006, 2008, 2011
ya lebron is an amazing passer which allowed him to go catch and overall gave him more oppurtunities when lebron had the ball this probably was the same for delonte
Wade Vs LeBron best head to head match
the day when two mj competing on floor
when dwade was the best player in the world, smh i miss this fuck injuries
bosh put up 24 and 12. they were going to the playoffs but bosh broke his nose in a key game. he was toronto.
I miss this wade
mo was an all-star one year and delonte was good before but somehow I still agree
Wade should have won the MVP in this year.
This match-up back then was better than Kobe vs. LeBron games against each other
i miss seeing them go head to head
That's the true Dwyane Wade.. The best among others.
I was thinking the same.
Just Classic!
Type in nba playoffs 2011 lebron clutch moments
because of lebron ofc
2013 gona be just as good if not better
Those who say he isnt should watch this game right here
WORD
Lebrain 13:18 LMFAO!!!
As far as number 2, Chris Bosh has more to offer to Miami than Dwade. This is because he can do things and fill gaps Lebron can't.

Wade is one of my favorite players but I'm not blind
Twas a strange time for the NBA.
Lebron's #2 option was Mo Williams that should tell u there what kind if squad he had to work with......
Clutch is something they both got, just stop hating....
And just two seasons later he would be doing this for the Heat
I Agree 45 15 and 5 in an Elimination Game hostile environment even Boston fans can admit to that the King clutch just appreciate and stop hating .
Just imagine what it would be like if these two ever play together...OH WAIT...
o0o0o0o00o so this is why 94% of the nba fans hated the heat when these two got together lmao
LeBron using all that powder...
Lets just face it, they should have never teamed up, we could have saw so many more battles like this.
Now we can, hope D-wade's knees hold up.
but we saw an awesome partnership and best duo in nba
ThePeKk1 wouldn't say "best" but both teams are still contenders in my book, atleast in the eastern conference.
they couldve been best if wade wasnt so injury prone and dealing with two bad knees 3 out of the 4 years together :( im gonna miss this D.Wade... i dont think he cares much about being a top contender anymore i think the age thing has gotten to his head
funny how wade didnt show up this whole playoffs but knee drain is an excuse but if it was the opposite lebron james would have been sacrifice by now smh somethings just not fair.

I would really like to know what lebron talks after the dunk at 13:12
If D.Wade could consistently hit 3's then this statement would be true
reporter : "get the fuckin and foul on lebron james " Lmao
I miss Flash...
lebron had a much better supporting cast at the time
if we could get this lebron james and fuse him with the post game lebron james, we would have the greatest player of all time
the jazz
In that era i think d'wade better than kobe...
Lebron felt comfortable there mmmmmmmm
Now that LeBron James is back in Cleveland, I hope we get THIS Dwyane Wade back!
Didnt get him with a Prime LBJ to take the load off his hands. Wont get him without LBJ
i didn't know LeBron played for Cleveland..... :p
No, drop that crack bro
Im pretty sure i said HE WAS TORONTO. he was the reason they were going to the playoffs. look at what wade did without Lebron and bosh and a decent team, lost in the playoffs. same with Lebron. i'll say wade got a championship, but that's cause he had a helpful Shaq. Of course Bosh didn't go to the playoffs cause he was the only guy that put up points on the team.
haha well said ma dude
against the knicks???? maybe by the Pacers in the semis.and lets not forget,that Wade was injured,and u and i both know that! there were games that James took over,and vice versa! in the finals?? absolutely,James was THE man!
Game 6 vs Boston... Enough said
4:08 the rim is in pain
That sounds like the Celtics before their 2008 title run... Oh wait.. u meant the heat? Because I remember Boston doing it first....
Man Bosh was putting up nice numbers in TO... 24 and 12... he had a much worse team than wade and bron
back when they were rivals/equals
because of Lebron. How do you think Mo Williams got to be All-Star?
Lebron always won against wade
How bout now?
@asdfbhjfgsdfdjkcv because delonte west was averaging 13 points and mo Williams was averaging almost 20
they blew out the spurs and the lakers and handed the pacers their worst loss of the season. Lebron at 35-9-9 a game, Bosh at 25-12 a game. They'd miss Wade in the playoffs but in the regular season he's a detriment. Subtracting Wade and Bosh, Lebron still has better teammates than any of his cleveland teams. and he's won 60+ twice.

Now as you look back at Lebron James's 4 championships you realize how he was able to win them, by recruiting or joining other All Star players in the NBA! If you can't beat the best, then you should join the best!" Quote by Lebron James himself!
First of all the heat was trash when he joined them and he doesn’t owe the cavs shit they were trash before and after him.
actually he is.. and he was pretty hurt most of the time.
say what u want,man thats the truth...he had 2 go 2 miami for that ring!
SAY WHAT??????
LeBron doesn't do this type of stuff anymore. He'd struggle to get into the paint driving in the half-court now.
If Lebron only went to La and Melo to Miami...that would've been like grandma's kool-aid SWEEEEEEEEET
i say heat wouldve won 3 lakers win 2
eatingrealgood I say Melo doesn't win Championships lol and I love that guy, but he just doesn't have "it".
@kyrell rellytv
actually it does not sound like Boston at all.
Miami had 3 of the top 12 players in the league all younger than 30. Lebron & Bosh (26) and Wade (29).

They were traded to Boston not Free Agents int heir prime getting together when in fact they should be carrying their teams and competing unlike Miami, struggling vs old teams
11:00 Dwade shakes lebron
look at these performances and then look at them rosters hahahaha
If only Lebron had better teammates in cleveland, that's probably one of the worst supporting casts ever.
i have an idea. lets all get together when everyone else gets old and we can win championships together instead of competing for them, it will be soooo easy
at 75% and Bosh is about 65-70%. Not to mention Chalmers whose almost 18 ppg when Wade is gone. When Wade hasn't played the heat, Their offense is unstoppable.

ok
What? Did the commentator just say Mo Williams and Delonte West are 'one of the best backcourts in the NBA'? WHAT WAS HE SMOKING AND WHERE CAN I GET IT?
Lebron at the end...2 three pointers and a huge dunk.
He's not clutch at all.
No, they never averaged a combine 30+ 2009 was Mo's best season and him and Delonte combined for 29ppg
Delonte has never averaged 13 points in a season EVER. And Mo Williams averaged 17 his first year with the Cavs and 15 his second. But Williams and West is not even close to a good back court they were both inconsistent as hell.
LBJ6 Forever best.
