Quite arguably one of the poorer fits listed on the offensive side of the ball....so much so Lebron made it seem like Wade was a shell of himself

What's this list going by? Fit? What they actually accomplished? Both players on the same team in their primes? I based this on what they actually accomplished.
Not the first year when Wade was healthy.Quite arguably one of the poorer fits listed on the offensive side of the ball....so much so Lebron made it seem like Wade was a shell of himself
They played well together that first year but problem was Wade was never healthy after year 1. But even the years after liek year 3 the way Wade was toying around with the Pacers was the Wade Heat fans knew before Lebron and the injuries
Had more to do with Lebron becoming more and more ball dominant than Wade's phantom chronic injuries.

On any of those metrics, how do Lebron/Wade (a top 10 and top 20 player all time) rank above Magic/Kareem (two top 5 players all time)?
You know NOTHING. And I mean NOTHING about basketball if you think this is remotely true.
I thought you were a Bron stan. This is downright pathetic. Miami LeBron alone is better than those 2 scrubs combined.
Your Steph Curry overrating renders anything you say about basketball mute. I can live with stanning LeBron. He's a legit top 5 all-time player. But Steph Curry? No. No way.

Admiral was flabby for much of Tim's time there so I don't really count it as a dominant duo.

For saying Bron is better than Bird? You realize that's a pretty strong consensus, right?Lebron stans are mentally ill
Significantly inferior is the phrase he used which isn't consensus nor grounded in any reality even if I have Bron slightly ahead of the cac.
You put an "old" tag on Kareem, even though he was NBA MVP the year after Magic joined the team, Finals MVP five years later, and had five top-5 MVP finishes with Magic on the team.
But you didn't put anything on Wade even though he missed 20 games/year after 2011 and fell way down the MVP and All-NBA charts.
Dang, we posted 2 minutes apart and other than Duncan/Robinson we had the same exact list. And honestly, I could have listed Duncan/Robinson up a spot. Probably not two though.
Lebron stans are mentally ill
The only thing Bird did better than Lebron was shoot, and somehow even there Lebron has hit 4x as many playoff threes as Bird ever did and on a better percentage.
Lebron is so much better at driving, ballhandling, distributing, and defense that there's no argument. I have never met anyone other than white people and obsessed Lebron haters who would dream of putting Bird over Lebron anymore.
ESPN had Bird #6 and Lebron #3, and that was before Bron won his 3rd title in spectacular fashion.
SI had Bird #7 and Lebron #5, also before Bron's 3rd title.
Fox Sports, after that title, had Bird #9 and Lebron #2.
TheColi, after that title, had Bird #7 and Lebron #3.
ya'all keep following the script I laid out for ya - can't win on the facts, so you jump to "Lebron stans ya'all" over and over.
Quite arguably one of the poorer fits listed on the offensive side of the ball....so much so Lebron made it seem like Wade was a shell of himself
2010, before Bron joined: Wade averaged 26.6ppg on 47% shooting
2011, after Bron joined: Wade averaged 25.5ppg on 50% shooting
2012, Wade misses 17 games due to injury and has to have his knee drained during the playoffs: 22ppg on 50% shooting
2013, Wade misses 13 games due to injury and even sits a playoff game to rest it: 21ppg on 52% shooting
2014, Wade misses 30 games due to injury: 19ppg on 55% shooting
Wade looked just as good on offense the year after Lebron joined as the year before. He didn't become "a shell of his former self" until the injuries mounted, and even then he still put up his two best shooting seasons of his career.
They really were a poor fit on offense, but they learned to make it work - to say that "Lebron made it seem like Wade was a shell of himself" is just your hate rising up again.
