D'Wade is a good player, But how much does he benefit from being on a team with Shaq, Antoine, Udonis and J-

Question

Wade doesn't see the defenses Kobe and LeBron see night in and night out. These guys see double and triple teams night after night. Dallas rarely doubled Wade because they had to focus so much on Shaq and the perimeter 3s. The big thing here is that many stars shine on Dallas' defense. Kobe had 62 on them in 33 minutes and only took like 26 attempts. Not to take anything from Wade, but I think if Kobe and Bron were played 1on 1 it would be bad for the defense. Wade isn't doubled because now teams double Shaq before he even gets the ball.

Kobe and LeBron can have triple-doubles everynight, but their teammates continue to miss open shots. I like Wade though he's a beast too.

Answer 1

Listennnn.... .Wade is a good player. He benefits so much for being with the Heat. At times he did carry the team, but only because, unlike Phil Jackson, Pat Riley will not give a bad free throw shooting center the ball to much in the fourth. But Wade being double team has yet to be seen and wont be for a while. Wade on a "weaker" team wouldn't suit him well because he would to be the main weapon. Some say Wade now is the main weapon but if his team loses it doesn't look bad for him and there are more options. Teams like the Claviers and Lakers, where one player sort of has to carry the team or force his players to get involved(more so Kobe then Lebron has to force them). Wade is now in the boat Kobe was in, can he carry a team or get to a playoff with little help. Lebron has shown this, and all he has to prove is can he win a championship. Wade being double will be great to see, because once you are able to beat the double team you are now great. Greatness = Greatness, but you have to prove it.

O yea i read someone calling Kobe Selfish i say "shut up" who is he going to pass it Parker who got shut down by Phoniex a team with no defense(when i say shut down i mean 0 points when you start).Odom who doesn't want to play big man he can work in the post but doesn't like too. But don't worry he is getting help this off season and the team is still buliding. People get some knowledge, remember if you ask i'll tell.

Answer 2

Wade is a good player, but hes no Kobe or LeBron. LeBron might get doubled and tripled the most because his team has no other good players tht warrant guarding! the most Wade got was doubled teamed in the finals, and don't forget whn 'Toine was draining those 3's Dallas had to worry about him too, so a lot of times Wade had a single defender on him and always blew right by him for a foul or an easy lay up!

Answer 3

What games are u ppl watching...wade getz doubled and tripled jsut as much as kobe and lebonr BUT wade is fast and clever enough to get way from them...Lebron jsut shoots airballs...kobe shoots over them and amkes da shots and wade uses hes speed tp get pass them over go around...wade IS da best player..its jsut that this guy wusnt overhyped like kobe and lebron...he actually earned all the phraise hes gotten and now ppl wana hate becuz u get this good sh*t from a humble and talented player but since the media or espn wasnt talking about him for da first 2 years now suddenly u have to find excuses to put hes game down....he carried the heat the finals...all those teamates wade has should be wlking around with a cane because all of them are old and 5 years pass thier prime..No other player had more than an 10 point average in the finals....So ppl get ur facts rite...wade put his team on hes back and lead them to victory...if lebonr would of been in the heat team they would of lost beczu lebron chokes against good defensive teams...lol hebeat da wizards in 7 games wow...wade swept them withougth shaq last year when they has larry hughs...so stop hatin on wades game....finally hes getin da hype he deserves....shaq qas barely a factor this year a 10 pt 10 reb player...sh*t dampier player a better game then him

Answer 4

D-Wade is a great player. You shouldn't take anything away from such a young guy carrying a team to the championship. BUT...I agree with you. Well, sorta. He benefited a lot from Shaq and a VERY LITTLE bit from Antoine and Udonis. From J-Will and the rest of the Heat, he didn't benefit much. Shaq is such a big guy...you can't help but be better with him on your team. Antoine can shoot the J (sometimes) like in the Finals, and Udonis puts up...what..9-11 points a game?

Kobe benefited more from Shaq because Shaq was younger and more dominant. D-Wade will get more from Shaq and his supporting cast because they defer to him already.

Answer 5

Hey man DWade is a GREAT player he carried the Heat in the Finals. I think Wade benefitted alot from the players he was surrounded by but just go back to his collegiate career at Marquette, he carried them into the Big Dance. I knew as soon as Miami drafted him he was going to be their franchise player for years to come. As far as Kobe he is a good player but personally I don't like him, he's too selfish with the ball. Wade, LeBron, and Kobe are the superior players on their teams but LeBron and DWade make the other players better by setting them up for their best shot. Kobe on the other hand just takes the ball and shoots it all the time instead of getting his teammates in a rythm.

Answer 6

DOES NOT MATTER!!!!! Why do you think they call basketball a TEAM sport? If Sha can make Dwayne Wade look good and they are winning that is all that matters. Who care about "if Bron and Kobe played D Wade on-on-one...." Its a team sport. But just for the record, Kobe could NEVER beat D Wade one-on-one because he's a little b****. that thinks he's better than what he really is. Basketball is a team sport and what about Rip hamilton and Chauncy Billups? Are you gonna say they aren't as good as they really are? They don't get doubled either. D Wade is going to be a future Hall-of-Famer. If you don't want to vote for him into the Hall-of-Fame when his career is over, than fine, he'll have plenty of others to vote him in.

Answer 7

you mean to say wade is not doubled enough? i dont think so... he goes up against the best defenses night in and night out just like lebron and kobe do, didnt you see the playoffs? the finals?
but wade has the better teammates especially shaq thats why they got over the hump and went all the way...
he must have thanked the stars for the lakers to trade shaq daddy to miami... poor kobe...

Answer 8

A lot, we know what Kobe did when he had Shaq. If Lebron was on the heat instead of D wade they probably would of won the championship too. He is one of top 5 players in the leauge, but he is not the best.

Answer 9

Well being on a good team definitely helps. People might start doubling him now that's he's the Finals MVP. But he could just pass it to Shaq. When he drives through the lane there is usually an open teammate on the perimeter. He is a good player but if he was stuck on a bad team it would definitely hurt his effectiveness.

Answer 10

I agree with you but I bet Wade wouldn't trade his position he's in now just to prove to the world he can be great on a weak team. To Wade's credit Miami wouldn't have won the Championship without him. So we all know Kobe is the man, then Lebron then Wade.
