<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CB4AllStar @ Jul 10 2006, 12:21 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>bullsh**. Wade is the one who drives, not Shaq. This is one of the stupidest comments ever. I guess Shaq makes him quicker too, right? Wade is the one creating the shots for himself, not with Shaq's help. I guess Kobe was only able to score 24 ppg because he had Shaq, too? Please, DWade has the most quickness in the NBA and he averaged 38 ppg in the Finals. You are obviously a Wade-basher. Stop being ignorant.</div>Uhh, Shaq is a huge piece of the puzzle. While he may not make Wade quicker or anything, he sure does open the lanes for him to slash. Same goes to Kobe, Shaq made him a better player simply because of his presence. I don't buy the whole under 500 thing though, I think we can still be a playoff team by then, even now though it's too hard to tell.
Kobe is a much better player in terms of scoring without Shaq. Same with Wade. If Shaq weren't on the team, Wade would get the more touches, and I bet he would score even more ppg then he did before. Shaq didnt put him on the map, he was already going to be a star on his own.
