Talk about revisionist history DWade and Bosh were insanely inconsistent throughout the playoffs. People love to throw out names of past All-Stars and use that as proof but they forgot to mention how they played AT THAT TIMEAre you serious?
Wade and Bosh are greater than the next 4 lakers starters after Kobe. This is some revisionist ass shyt. And then you had three point shooters out of the ass after that.
'09
Gasol: 18/10 (2 blocks) on 58/71
Odom: 12/9 on 50/50/60
'13
Wade: 16/5/5 on 45/75
Bosh: 12/7 on 45/40/73
Yeah these two look so much better

Lamar Odom was a career 13ppg player while Bosh was a career 20ppg player. D-Wade was a perennial All-Star who had carried his own team to the finals and won finals MVP. Are you really trying to compare them to Odom and Pau just because their numbers are somewhat similar? D-Wade and Bosh impacted the game wayy more for Lebron than those two did for Kobe. Biscayne

Exaggeration. Wade averaged 25pts and 5rebs in the last 5 games of the 2013 NBA Finals, including the 32pt game where he torched SA in Game 3 and Wade had 25pts 11rebs in Game 7. I don't think LeBron even broke 22pts in the 2011 Finals. At 1 point in the series(It might've been Game 5) LBJ scored a mere 8pts. Yeah LeBron had some double-digit rebounding and a couple of worthless double doubles in Rebounds and assists in 2011, but in hindsight, I'd rather have seen LBJ focus more on being an efficient off the ball scorer than put up a couple of inefficient double doubles and tripple doubles in the 2011 Finals. People see the 10rebs, and 9ast and think LBJ did what he could in that Finals. He had so many horrible turnovers, missed defensive assignments and wasted offensive opportunities(Like Jkidd, Barrera, and Terry guarding him, and LBJ choosing to shoot a long fade away.) Wade would play super efficiently for 3quarters and then defer LBJ down the stretch. In the later years Wade would step back and step up when needed. He never stepped on LBJs toes or tried to do too much.

Doing exactly what I just said, Gasol impact in either chip run was much higher than both of theirs in '13
Bosh was worthless for 2nd half of the Pacers series and had Roy Hibbert looking like Wilt along with having 0 points in the biggest game of the playoffs.
smh at this shyt, doesn't matter what they were before

I'm telling ya. Who ever plays with LBJ automatically gets demoted as far as their resume goes, to keep the "LBJ has to do so much narrative".

Wade won a title with Shaq averaging 18/10 in that playoffs run, and Wade averaged 28/6/6 for that playoff run. And then Shaq only averaged 13/10 against Dallas for that NBA Finals series to Wades 34/7/4. Yet if I say "Wade basically won the title by himself" folks would yell "Wade had a prime Shaq!!!". But Wade averaging 16/5/5, in the 2013 playoffs and then averaging 19/5/4 in the Finals in 2013 = LBJ basically won a title with scrubs.

THATS LEBRONS FAULT, LOOK AT HOW MUCH BETTER BOSH WAS WITHOUT HIM IDIOT
EXACTLY....PLAYERS LIKE BOSH, RAY ALLEN, WADE, LARRY HUGHES, VAREJAO ETC. SOMEHOW ALWAYS UNDERACHIEVE PLAYING ALONGSIDE LEBRON.
ON THE CONTRARY, PLAYERS TYPICALLY HAVE CAREER YEARS PLAYIN NEXT TO KOBE....FROM SMUSH PARKER TO SHANNON BROWN TO LAMAR ODOM TO EARL CLARK. THESE PLAYERS WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SHHHIT IF IT WERENT FOR KOBE. HE MAKES THEM LOOK LIKE CREDIBLE TEAMMATES, THEN HE GETS THEM PAID, AND THEY END UP LOOKIN LIKE SHIIT WHEN KOBES NO LONGER THERE TO BAIL THEM OUT.

Wade took Miami from a 15-67 season in 2008, to a 5th seed in 2009. The reason why folks were so excited and enamored by LBJ coming to Miami, was because LBJ was teaming up with another future Hall Of Famer.
AND TO ADD TO THAT, LEBRON ONLY CAME BACK TO CLEVELAND BECAUSE KYRIE WAS A TOP UP-AND-COMING POINT GUARD+CLEVELAND GOT THE FIRST PICK, WHICH HE ALREADY KNEW WAS BEING TRADED FOR KEVIN LOVE....WHO, U GUESSED IT, WAS ANOTHER FRANCHISE PLAYER. HE ONLY SIGNS WITH A TEAM IF HE KNOWS THERES GUNA BE AT LEAST 2 OTHER FRANCHISE PLAYERS ON IT.....THE DEFINITION OF A BETA.

the cavs have a good roster even without kyrie and love. they have two athletic wings who can shoot, and two active bigs that can rebound finish and defend. lebron has his hand in it, but shump and jr were killing the bulls when he wasnt on the floor and mozgov and thompson were doing the same along with dellavedova. you dont need 3 superstars if you have guys who can shoot and you can control the boards. halfcourt offense wins titles.

the cavs & bulls could beat them easy.
