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

[dem bath salts]

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.

He was getting a pass for those average to below average teams because he had already won a ring and bron hadn't, so the debate was still credible.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

So we're just gonna retroactively strip Wade of his entire pre-lebron legacy now too huh

 

[GreatestLaker]

Wade had no help. Same way Kobe had no help from 05 to 07. Blaming Wade for the Heat losing in the first round is ridiculous.

No, he was getting a pass because he had no help.

Lol @ greatest laker catchin feelins over My opinion,thats female traits bruh

Kobe needs teams wit all stars and or hall of famers or both his whole career when he didn't have them he bytched publicly about a trade and was going 42-40 losin in the 1st round

While lebron took bums to the finals and Mike had bill cartwright and bill wennington winning titles dont get mad about factual events and ravage my rep

No doubt.....that's if people chose to embrace logic...but since when did logic equal overriding sentiment?

 

[Bilz]

Wade was balling out but the ONLY reason people were putting him ahead of LeBron was because of a ring he won several years earlier. Well, that and the pure unadulterated LeBron hate.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I never heard Wade and Lebron being equals until Bron decided to team up with him.

It was well established that the two best wing players in the league was Kobe and Bron.

Wade and his pathetic Heat teams post 2006 took him out of that debate. The manufacturing began once Bron decided to join the Heat. SUDDENLY....niqqas wanted to call Bron Pippen.

Naw, you gotta stop with that.

Wade was considered one of Lebron's peers - prior to him joining the Heat. It was arguable he should've won the 2009 MVP as well.

Damn man you still that Kobe won without Shaq...twice...in a row. Get over it already...you're sounding real pathetic right now.

This shyt has been discussed many of times, like homie said -

This thread has been made over and over and over and over again

Only difference now is you've got folk re-writing the books saying Wade wasn't one of Bron's peers prior to him leaving Cleveland. And using that notion to dispel the FACT that Lebron left Cleveland to join an EQUAL-counterpart (in Wade). I mean I didn't give a fukk either way. But to say folk didn't feel like Wade was on Bron's level prior to the '10 FA is just......

nobody really had wade equal to bron, let alone better than bron until he joined the heat. and people only started saying that to perpetuate the whole bron is "robin" trying to ride on wade's coattails thing.

it was transparent as hell.

Exactly.

Dudes suddenly had them as equals after that talk was dormant at the end of the 07 season.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Exactly.

Dudes suddenly had them as equals after that talk was dormant at the end of the 07 season.

Explain to me this then:

Wade (08/09) - 30.2 PPG on 49% shooting, 5 RPG, 7.5 APG, 2.2 SPG and 1.3 BPG.

LeBron (08/09) - 28.4 PPG on 48% shooting, 7.6 RPG, 7.2 APG, 1.7 SPG and 1.1 BPG.

How was talks of them being EQUALS deaded after 07, when Wade put up his best season #'s in 09?

 

[Goatpoacher]

Lebron always had more talent than Wade (and everybody else in the league)

Wade played at an insane level in 2006, 2008, 2009 to 2010. HE's just looked pretty bad the last two years for some damn reason.
