Lebron and the double standard....Took this from a poster on realGM

[RedBull]

So your team's ability to go far in the playoffs didn't effect how a player is perceived?

And he still wasn't considered Lebron's equal because his teams didn't make the playoffs in 07 and were bumped in the first round two straight years.

Since when does having that as a part of your resume put one in the Lebron conversation, the Cavs having much more success during that period, as being peers?

That's bullshyt. Lebron won two of his MVPs during those years. Wade was not considered his peer. Niqqas suddenly made Wade into one when he joined the Heat.

fukk outta here.

He was Lebron's peer. Wade made a living off of 2006 Finals MVP run and putting up great numbers on crappy teams, Lebron didn't win anything at that time and they had similar numbers. What was you watching then?

Kobe wasn't considered the best player in 06 and 07?

The top 3 players during that time were Lebron, Wade and Kobe. Saying otherwise is revisionist history.

We're putting Wade and Kobe in the same category now?

It was clear as day that Lebron was a better player than Wade before joining the Heat. Suddenly when he joins the Heat, the Lebron, Wade and Kobe trifecta makes an appearance.

As if Kobe didn't win back to back finals during that span.

That's bullshyt. It was all about Kobe and Lebron from 07 to 11. Their team's success took Wade out of the manufactured picture you're drawing up in here.

Not according to anyone with an MVP vote...

Since when did MVP mean best player? Its the best player on the best regular season team.

The league MVP's during that span was between Kobe and Lebron before Rose came in.

yall niqqas suddenly putting Wade and his 44-38, 15-67, 43-39, 47 -35 teams in the discussion is brand new.

If sohh was up, you'd see nothing but Kobe vs. Lebron debates taking up the boards during that time. Yall full of shyt niqqas added WAde's name after the fact....Bron joining the Heat.

fukk outta here with yall revisionist bullshyt. The only peer Bron had during that span was Kobe.

You tripping on this one. Hell I'm as big of a Laker fan as anybody and even I thought he had surpassed Kobe at that point. Wade was carrying a team with absolutely nothing on it and beasting on both ends of the court. Ever since Wade won that title people had him on that list of best players. Wade was absolutely in that conversation even before the decision was made.

It didn't stop niqqas from putting Bron and Kobe as peers. Who cares what your lonesome said?

Wade had to get the stench of Stern handing him the title off him. His teams were struggling while Bron and Kobe's were having success. He was NOT in the conversation. It was a two headed convo and you KNOW it.

That's bullshyt and you know it. So where did the Wade vs Kobe debates come from?

Wade was on that level.

In 09 Wade averaged 30/8/5/2 after coming off two injury plagued seasons. That's the year Wade made his comeback. Don't act like people didn't have Wade over Lebron in 06 either.

[god shamgod]

Look at the Cavs when Lebron was drafted in 2003 and look at the Lakers in 96 when Kobe was drafted. This guy has played for loaded teams since his career started in 96. From Shaq, Eddie Jones, NVE to Malone and GP, Gasol, Howard, Nash.. etc. Yet the two years he didnt have a stacked team.. what happened? He demanded a trade in 2006. But that's ok right? Thing is, I'm not hating on Kobe.. he demands management to make it happen.. and they have. If not, he would leave. Let's not forget he had Phil Jackson and never wina ring without him.

This part about kobe is ether

 

[the next guy]

LeBron would have got less hate if he was a Knick imo.

You bugging breh. nikkas were arguing after wade won that ship in 06 and those cray numbers he put up after was he maybe the 2nd best in the game after kobe. In hindsight we see bron is clearly better, but at the time and me being a heat fan you couldn't tell me wade wasn't clearly the 3rd best player in the game. That elevating of Wade didn't just happen with the decision. He was one of the only superstars in the league with a ring then kobe, duncan, an old shaq, and wade. He had clout and he was highly respected. He already had that ring, so he was getting a pass on those heat teams being average. That's why it was very debatable in who was better him or bron because while bron had those cleveland teams cooking, he hadnt won ish and wade had.

WAde was no doubt respected, but we live in a what have you done for me lately sportsworld. And during that span (07 to 11), it was all about Bron and Kobe. Wade suddenly being "equals" to Bron came about when Bron joined the Heat.

Those titles were what kept the stench off Wade and had people giving him the benefit of the doubt on why the Heat sucked. That reason being Riley had gutted the roster to prepare to sign Bron and Bosh. There was a reason that everyone had been hoping for a Lebron/Wade playoff series. In fact I think that was the year him and Wade had that crazy first half shootout.
