A healthy Wade carved up this same Pistons team last year that LeBron is struggling to score 18 points against. And, other than an aging Shaq, his supporting cast really wasn't that much better than LeBron's now. One player simply knows how to elevate his team and carry it on his shoulders to glory while the other gets confused by double teams and, basically, chokes when the game is on the line. LeBron looks like a block of wood right now compared to last year's Wade.

You put Shaq, even this aging Shaq on Lebrons team, and the floor would open up for him more just like it does for Wade.

Well, an aging Shaq blows anyone on the Cavs supporting cast out of the water. Actually, so does Udonis Haslem. The If the Pistons had paid this much defensive attention to Wade last year, Shaq would have put up 38 and 15.
Further, LeBron is suffering the backlash of 29 teams who were pissed off at Wade's record-breaking number of free-throw attempts. The NBA is going to have a real discussion about flops, which is going to severely curtail Wade's game, which is all about getting to the foul line.
Both are great players, but I would take LeBron in a heartbeat. And I'm a Pistons fan.

Wade is better, no question; unless you ask the media(they have a Lebron fetish). Wade is an unstoppable slasher type player with a pretty decent jump shot, Lebron is a little bit more powerfull with his dunks and.....well thats about it for him. Just because all the other teams players foul Wade because they can't guard him, doesn't mean the refs make up fouls for him.
But the biggest difference, in my opinion, is that Wade is a 4th quarter player. No matter how he's been playing earlier in the game, he has the will and determination to step up his game and score 5 or so consecutive times down the court, plus get defensive stops. Lebron is pretty much the same player the whole game, though judging from the pistons series he might be a late game choker.
Wade is the next "closest to jordan as is possible".

Wade was a good finisher and Lebron wasnt
Wade will take the last final 6-10 shots and get to the freethrow line while Lebron have FT issues and rather pass up the ball cause he have no confidence.
and maybe wade have a better team,
its all Wade when its down to the final minutes.

wades team was better. well not better. but performing better. if the cavs were performing to their normal extent than they would be up 2-0. they missed easy game winners. wade has a more veteran team. they don't crack. they don't get pressured. they made the shots they had to make. that's why wade won. because all the defensive attention wasn't just on him. as it is now all on lebron.

I think the pistons find the strategy how to stop Lebron,thru the media.....By always blaming him when the Cavs lost.

Every player has his off day and Lebron so happened to have one of those recently. That doesn't make him a lesser player.
