I vote for LeBron , Both are great players with out a doubt, but James just has the factor. Cleveland is never out of a game while he is in.

I could say the same about Wade.

No i don't think you could , its a kind of swagger that athletes have where if needed they can throw the team on their back and pull out a tough win, and i am not saying D-Wade cant win a game. Like a couple weeks ago Cleveland was in Toronto, They were losing, some fan trash talks James, pretty much face to face (Some say she was a Bosh Relative) James goes ahead and scores 20+ in the forth to win a close game.

And Wade can do that.

obviously Wade's influence on his team has waned

can u stop 3 or 4 wording every reply and make some kind of convincing argument

I think Wade's one of the 5 most exciting players in the league, along with Lebron, AI, Kobe, and TMac, but I think he's bought into his own hype a little too much, and he's not as hungry as he used to be. I don't even think his supporting cast is that bad-Jason Williams, Udonis Haslem, and Shaq(grant it aging).

Baseless arguements deserve baseless arguements. Anyway, how the hell has Wade's influence faded? Can you imagine the team without him? There's not a single player who is not way past their prime, or just plain bad with the exception of Udonis Haslem.

The Heat without Wade, I guess they might have about 6-7 wins, instead of 8. I think you might be a little biased because you're from Florida. I actually said I like Wade, and yet there's no way anyone can argue that Wade's better than Lebron. I would direct your argument towards stating what Wade might do in the future to help rebuild his team, and how he could restore his legacy as one of the best young players the league has ever seen. I.E., come back from the injury, or become more vocal. He needs to get mad at his teammates, like he'll make a hard drive to the basket, and pass it to a guy right underneath the basket, and then the big will kick it back out. He's got to get in the guy's face, and say 'shoot the d.amn ball'

Lol @ the person who came into this thread just to vote 'Who the hell cares?'

It 's **** not hell. lol. anyway, I doubt they'd have 3 wins. Look at how Wade's performed in crunchtime this year, and look how much difference it's made. The lack of team defense and incredibly poor shooting's made sure he'd have to score 40 a night to make a difference. And I'm from Cali, not Florida. My point in all this is if they had Michael Jordan instead of Wade they'd still only have 9, maybe 10 wins.
