Still think Wade is way overhyped and not nearly as good as Bron or Kobe? The guy is INSANE. His performance in this game and Game 3 were both better than that one game in the 2001 Finals where it went into OT and KObe took over. Wade is putting on a performance in this postseason that I have NEVER seen before. Better than anything MJ has ever done, and better than anything Kobe has done. LeBron won't be in Finals for many years with the team they have, so we don't even have to worry about that comparison.I am telling you guys, when I saw him vs NJ in early April when i was at the game, I saw something I hadn't seen before when I saw T-Mac, LeBron (2x), Kobe, or AI in person....he is a player that comes along every few generations, and we are all witnesses of this amazing finals performance that we will likely not see topped for a VERY long time.
What are you talking about Nitro, Wade is just a creation of Shaquille O'Neal and nothing more.Wade has it easier than players before with the rule changes...everytime he goes inside he gets 2 FT's...it's why he had 25 FT attempts. Ridiculous.
No, he isn't. Shaq has been ineffective this series and Dallas has thrown defenses all over Wade and he has still come through. Wade did all of this, while Shaq was missing free throws and playing god awful these Finals. Wade is not like Kobe, he has proven he could do it with healthy Shaq, without healthy Shaq, or without Shaq at all (last season in playoffs).

I knew you were joking when you said he's a creation of wade.And nitro, Wade is great but he's not better than lebron.
I agree with you Melo, Wade looks great now and he deserves it but you honestly can't judge just because Dwyane Wade is in a MUCH BETTER situation.
And, also you can'y hate Wade for scoring most of his points at the Free Throw line. He earned them didn't he? Plus he made them. So just stop hating and give the guy respect because you know he deserves it.

What happenned? Hit GW jumpshot, won games in 4th just like this year,a nd helped push a VERY good Pacers team to 6 games.Shaq is not what he used to be, averaging 15PPG and 9RPG these fianls, not to mention the horrific 30% shooting from line. Those numbers are worse than Zydrunas Illguaskas' numbers, and Bron didn't get nearly as far as Wade has gotten. Yes, Wade has the better role players, but Bron hasn't taken over in 4th and won games like Wade has. As good as the role players are, it has been ALL Wade in fianl quarters, and he has carried this Heat team when it counts the most. Yes, Bron hasn't been in the situation, but if he couldn't do it in playoffs like Wade has done in finals, you ge the idea...And Riley hasn't had a huge impact on Wade's game. He has been much more of an influence on Shaq than Wade.

There is no way Wade is better then Kobe, or Lebron James right now.He is doing amazing stuff in the finals, but he does have a better supporting cast around him then Lebron James, and Kobe the last 2 seasons with out Shaq.

And when Kobe had Shaq, his numbers weren't as good in season or in playoffs as Wade's. Look at the Wade vs LeBron topic in debates section for my views on that topic.

Kobe was in foul trouble in game 4. They would never do that to mj, calling offensive fouls on him.Oh you said team, sorry. I had an incling that in that series, the home team got the calls and the series would go to 7. Look at the ratings and please tell me Stern wasn't loving it.
