Wade has carried this team on his back while James has rode the coattails. I wonder how he will feel when he watches Wade hold up the Finals MVP.

did you check out the series against the bulls when wade did absolutely nothing and lebron hit clutch shot after clutch shot, that was definately something jordan would have let pippen do in the eastern conference finals...

and by the way lebron had the better game in game 1

Bosh looked worthless tonight. He hit a few shots and all, but he seemed like a boy among men the majority of the game.

I'm also still wondering why LeBron was allowed to grab a handful of ref to hold him back to whine without repercussion. I thought that was a technical, and somebody else said it should have been an injection. I have to admit I don't know the punishment, just that there should have been something.

I know people love to hate LeBron, but at some point they have to realize how dumb it makes them look if they challenge his on the court performance.

in the playoffs; in 2010-11; requiring Points >= 15; sorted by descending Win Shares

Higher PPG, APG, RPG, SPG with the same BPG & TO/G. Slightly lower FG%, slightly higher FT% and a lot higher 3PT%. And then being 10 times better at defense than Wade.

Wade might be having a better finals, but the Heat might not be in the finals if not for LeBron.

Jordan knew he was bigger than the game, James thinks he's bigger than the game.

This is the major difference between the two. LeBron plays with little emotion in the clutch, Jordan just took control and willed his team to victory. Dallas has a LOT more heart.

Another thing about this, it's all the "fans" and media that compare LeBron to Jordan. Didn't LeBron change his jersey number to not have MJ's? Didn't he say the NBA should retire #23, so he shouldn't wear it?

I've always thought any intelligent fan or member of the media would compare him to Magic more than MJ. Kobe is more MJ than anyone we've seen. Hell, Wade is more MJ too from a skills standpoint. MJ could do plenty of things that LeBron can't do, but LeBron can do a lot that MJ couldn't.

LeBron, will NEVER be like Michael, he as NO 12-18ft shot, he either goes to the rim, or he shoots 3's, not to mention, he sin't a very good ft shooter either, and it just goes to show, you CANT buy a title, ask the Yankees how that worked out for them too..I am not saying LeBron isnt a great player, he is (talent wise), but let me know when he has 6 championships, and maybe, just then.....MAYBE he can be put in the league with MJ, he to me isn't even on Pippen's level either...

He doesnt know how to play TEAM basketball...

He knows how to play team basketball. The problem is he was better as a team leader, which he no longer is. Now he's just a sideshow and it hurts his game mentally. He should have just stayed in Cleveland and been the man, which he likes. I don't think he knew how bad not being the man would hurt him emotionally, which in turn changes his game.
