Is everyone going to jump on WADES bandwagon now or is Lebron still considered the best player from that draft (Lebron, Carmello, Wade) I think if Lebron would of just had one of those veteran players he would of had his ring this year. The Heat is a team built with a lot of superstars. I still rank Wade behind Lebron and Kobe how do you rank Wade? I'm not a Wade hater I just think there are 2 better players than him right now in the NBA.

No. Just cuz he has a ring doesn't mean hes the best.... Lebron is an overall better player still and kobe is close if not better than Dwayne.

Right now I would say Wade is better than Lebron and possibly better than Kobe. The reason for Wade being better than Lebron is obvious because he has a ring, but also people tend to forget that Wade made it into the playoffs in his rookie year before Shaq came to Miami. My reasoning for Wade being better than Kobe is because unlike Kobe who just takes risky shots to pad his stats and hogs the ball not letting his other teammates develop, Wade will let his entire team shine. If you compare Kobe's and Wade's efficiency in how many shots they made, Wade's is around a high 50% while Kobe's is around a low 40%. Kobe takes too many needless shots when he could just pass the ball to a teammate that has a better chance at scoring. Also, Wade hasn't even reached his prime yet so even if no one agrees with me about Kobe, Wade WILL surpass him eventually.
BTW No offence to Carmello fans but he isn't in the same league as those three I mentioned. All he is right now is a shooter, he does nothing else for his team. He needs to step up his game and contribute more to his team if he wants to be considered a superstar.

As far as shooting guards go, I'd say Kobe Bryant is the best at that position right now.
Wade and LBJ are coming up fast but the NBA is full of so many All-Star caliber guards right now it's hard to single out a runner-up.
Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, T-Mac (when healthy) are all still playing in their prime, but Wade's the one with the ring this year so I guess that puts him runner-up.

WHO CARES
ALL I GOTTA SAY IT.....
MIAMI HEAT BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
D WADE SILENCED ALL THE CRITICS WHO SAID THE HEAT WEREN'T CONTENDERS
THE WHOLE WORLD DOUBTED THEM EXCEPT 4 TRUE FANS
PEOPLE SAY OH ITS EASY TO GLOAT AFTER THE FACT BUT EVEN IN MY PREVIOUS ANSWERS WEEKS AGO I SAID HEAT TO WIN IN 6..
YES D WADE IS A BETTER PLAYER THAN JAMES & ANTHONY
D WADE KNOWS HOW TO FINISH PLAYS...THATS THE ONLY THING MISSING IN LEBRONS GAME.
WHEN TRYING TO STOP D WADE AT THE HOLE, HE FOLOWS THROUGH & FINISHES THE PLAY, LEBRON HASNT DEVELOPED THAT COMPLETELY YET.
NOTICE DURING THE CAVS/PISTONS SERIES...WHEN DOUBLE TEAMED, THEIR WERE MANY TIMES LEBRON COULDNT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE HOLE & GET THE AND 1...IT WAS MAINLY HIM GETTING FOULED & EARNING 1 FROM THE STRIK, WHERE AS WADE WOULD GET THE AND 1
ONCE KING JAMES LEARNS THAT PART OF HIS GAME THEN ASK ME THIS QUESTION AGAIN & I MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT ANSWER BUT UNTIL THEN...
MIAMI HEAT BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
BTW, I LIKE JAMES, BRYANT & WADE BUT IM NO WHERE NEAR A CARMELO ANTHONY FAN...MATTER OF FACT I'M NOT SURE WHY ANYONE WOULD BE, BUT THATS A WHOLE NOTHER STORY

Kobe Bryant's stats for last finals' series 03-04' 8th season
22.6 ppg(41%) 2.8 reb 4.4 ast L Detroit 4-1
Dwyane Wade's stats for first finals' series 05-06' 3rd season
34.7 ppg 46.8% 7.8 reb 3.8 ast W Dallas 4-2
Kobe playing with Shaq averaging 24 pts at 63% Wade playing with Shaq averaging 13 pts at 61%
I dont want to take up too much time but there are plenty of stats available -- those stats comparing Kobe in his 8th year with a better Shaq to Wade in his 3rd with a lesser Shaq. Show me where Kobe is better.-- show me your facts.
Wade is clearly better.

Cavs - Shaq wont do a lot yet get rebounds and put in 8 ppg like ben wallace. The cavs pick a SG like Jamal Crawford or Monta Ellis warmth - nicely. A.I. would bypass there yet that wont be adequate and they'd a rookie PG. they pick a PG like Nate Robinson or Derek Fisher and choose a F like Marion or Josh Howard yet Boozer can assist a lot in the experience that they get him

He's one of the best in the game at the moment, but to say that he's the best is overdoing it. Lebron is pretty good too, as is Kobe.

He is one of the best, but chances are Kobe is still considered the best in the NBA. How many rings does Kobe have??? My point.
