2. Miami was an inferior team when they beat Dallas and Wade lead them which is characteristic of a superstar.
3. Wade has a title - Iverson does not.
4. Wade is willing to defer to teammates where Iverson is playing in China now b/c coaches don't believe he'd be willing to accept anything other than the #1 role.
5. Your anecdote about the rookie is plain stupid. Many players have a career game then fall back in line with their normal play. It's not b/c other players are jealous (it may happen occasionally) but not often.
6. You should be banned from talking basketball. 2nd time I've felt someone should be banned from a forum but hey sometimes it's warranted.
Take care.
If your ashames, then dont post. @084 posts, i thought we wer past woring about Grammar. You have not caught on to that as of yet ?
And for one guy to pick out a couple numbers like 3 points shots taken... Big deal. Overall, shooting etc. they are close. Yes, larry Brown got iverson to the finals. As did Riley and Shaq for dwayne... Again, they won in a verey poor year against a poor team.
The only real difference between the two is personality and it goes a long way to those that look with blinders on... Neither has ever made another player around them better. Neither could do it alone. The diffenece is how you look in the media. Go to the casino, vs go to the blood drive. Talk management into bring in shaq vs complain about practice.
So the fact that wade was smart enough, I.Q. and better street sense, maybe just a better manager and friends. Gets him a ring. If shaq had went to Philly, then it would be Iverson with the ring and wade would be consider the nicest guy to never win one.
I do watch BB, and Miami a lot. i notice all those little things over the past 5 years watching wade ball hog, POLITELY make other look bad, but for some reason it is never ever his fault. It is really amazing... Got to give him credit, he has snookered a lot of people. Is snookered spelled correctly ? Dont care, Im an Iverson...
