Wade's 2006 Finals better than every one of LeBron's?

[MadDog]

LeBron has been to 10 finals while Wade went to half of those. In those 5 though Wade might've played better than LeBron ever has. Averaged 35 points a game through 6 which is a higher output than LeBron ever scored in the finals. Wade also averaged a 27ish gamescore which apart from 3 of LeBron's finals, is greater than any of his.

LeBron's 2016 was better, but not gonna disagree if someone chooses '06 Wade's instead

[MadDog]

True. 2016 is the only appearance I would agree LeBron has an argument. Came back from 3-1, back to back 40 point games including a game 7 triple-double. LeBron was a monster and spearheaded that run but Kyrie was a scoring machine too. Wade on the other hand was a lone-man carry job. From the field and freethrow line

Its good to have that guy as a teammate.

Why do you think Wade fell off from 2012-2014? He wasn't bad, but was great in 2011.

I think he was just taking a back seat to lebron he could’ve played better in 2012 for sure

Wade did have some huge games in the 2012 playoffs that kind of fly under the radar. For instance Game 4 - 6 of the Pacers series he averaged 33/7/4 on 64 %TS over that stretch. Heat were down 1-2 and Wade had his knee drained after Game 3. In fact for the rest of the playoffs from Game 4 of the Pacers series till Game 5 of the Finals Wade put up 24/6/5... He was still a hell of a player.

But anyways his Finals in 2006 is one of the greatest Finals performances of all time. 2016 Lebron has a case like people say. It can go either way.

Knees. It got progressively worse every year. They had to drain it during the Pacers series, and that's why he got better during that series.

In 2013, they tried to save him for the playoffs, but his knees got busted once again. They talk about him having huge lumps on his knees. He was hobbling out there. He talks about how disappointing it was because they were careful that season, but his knees gave out at the most crucial l time. He had a surgery in college and remove his meniscus, so he can recover faster. Unfortunately it shorten his career. He battled bone bruises and tendinitis in 12 onwards. Westbrook had knee injuries too, but he didn't remove his meniscus. So, he was able to keep playing well.

It's a shame cuz Wade was a star. Injuries just got him. Many great stars it be like that. Injuries got Kobe, but luckily he had a great career already. Injuries got T-Mac. D.Rose. Penny. Grant Hill. Larry Bird. Mchale. Bernard King.

[Smoke117]

Yes, absolutely.

[k0kakw0rld]

Yes, absolutely.

Free throw fest isn't what I call a great performance.

There's no way that's correct. Without looking it up I guarantee Worthy & Dray had higher gamescores
