If it was possible for Wade to bring his team this far without Shaq, Kobe would be able to bring the Lakers this far without Shaq. After all, Kobe is as good as or better than Wade. So...Yes...it's at least partially true...if Shaq didn't come to Miami they wouldn't be here and Dwyane Wade would be another Tracy McGrady.

Are you serious?! Have you even been watching these games?! DWade has looked like the second coming of MJ in this series. I can't deny that they more than likely would not be here if Shaq was not on the team, but without Dwayne Wade, they likely wouldn't have made it out of the first round, or even into the playoffs for that matter.
He's knocked down every big shot, made every big play there is to be made. Within two years, he or LeBron will be the best player in the NBA.

Yes, I think it's true. I think Dwyane Wade's confidence and abilities improved because of Shaq. Shaq always encourages Wade when they were just new teammates and whenever they play a game, the opposing team is more concerned about defending Shaq most of the time so Wade has more time to hone his skills. It's amazing how greatly Dwyane Wade's skills improved...

No it is not true at all! Dwayne Wayde would probably be more famous because he has great talents at this sport and Miami would be here still if Shaq wasn't there cause Dwayne Wayde is doing the damn thang! Shaq is getting to old to change the game right now, but he still has talent, he is just older were it is Dwayne who has to carry the team!

Wade is a stud no doubt about it. However I don't think Wade would be what he is without the big man. I honestly believe that this duo is better then Kobe and Shaq, with Wade and Shaq there is alot of mutual respect from both sides.

Nope D Wade would have broken through on his own.
Having Shaq obviously helps but in Wade's rookie year with basically no one else on that team he led Miami to a winning record and into the playoffs.

I think that this is a true statement. Wade had the talent but he needed someone to help him reach is full potential and that is where Shaq comes in

No not at all, I seen Wade in the year before Shaq. He wouldve made a name for himself without him. The hype is added on that their in the championship game, if this was to happen with or without shaq lol.

there is still a possibility that they can reach the finals without shaq, i'm sure there are good players that miami can get for lamar odom two years ago. and no, wade is good enough to shine without shaq.
