Almost like how nobody gives Kobe any credit for those 3 rings he wont with Big Shaq, as if Shaq was out there alone.
And what gets lost in all of this is Wade's legacy. If Wade is there for all of the rings that LeBron wins, why would LeBron's legacy somehow surpass Wades? People don't consider how great of a career Wade has had so far. So why are people so quick to say LeBron > Jordan, when he has someone on his team that can make an even better argument for being compared to Mike. (I don't see the need to compare anyone to him but since people do it I will play the game for the sake of discussion.)
he will be in the same realm as barry bonds. lebron cant win for losing. and like ive said before no matter what any player does mj will be seen as goat. Like elvis will be seen as king of rock, pac as the greatest rapper, ruth as the best baseball player, wayne as the best hockey player.
Both of ya'll don't know what ya'll talking about here. (I said "here", as in just this quote, you know ya'll my boys)
When Wade won with an aging Shaq, it proved that you could insert any top 10 SG with Shaq and win Championships because he was so dominant and the league had no big men to match up with Shaq. Having Shaq on your team back then was like a cheat code. Shaq and a team of scrubs could go to the finals, all he needs is another average player to win chips.
Shaq is one of the most dominant big men in the history of the NBA.
Why would Bron get any credit for winning Championships when his role is to stand on the 3 point line and watch Wade win the games for him. Wade is going to have the Finals MVP trophies.
