http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sport...9/ask-ira-whose-team-ii-wades-or-lebrons.html Q: Ira, you wrote that locally Wade will receive the greater embrace, but, nationally the view will be that these are the LeBron James’ Miami Heat. The real question is what will the view be in the locker room? — Juan. A: That’s an interesting one, because, in light of LeBron’s defection, it does not seem as if he exactly held that locker room together in Cleveland. But, truth be told, Dwyane also is a relatively quiet type. I think the locker room will start as Dwyane’s, since this is, as he has stressed, his house. But I also think a lot of these guys came to play specifically with LeBron, so he figures to increase his influence. Q: Recently, someone asked you whose team this is and your answer was that it’s LeBron’s team nationally. Wouldn’t it be Wade’s nationally, especially since legends and analysts have stated it’s his team? I know most people believe LeBron is the better player, but I strongly disagree. — Omied A: That would put you in the minority. LeBron is a two-time MVP. He is the better player, if only because of his superior size. That should not be taken as a slight to Dwyane. He’s pretty good, too.
