since when are All-NBA shooting guards and Finals MVPs not judged by their post-season performance? Wade has never gotten out of the 2nd round w/out Shaq or LeBron on his team. He had one of the most commanding singular performances in Finals history in 2006 - and then after that his post-season performance (when he was *the* man) has been abysmal - Carmelo-esque.
>he joined a 47-win team with the reigning 1st team all nba >shooting guard, one year removed from a scoring title and 4 >yrs removed from a finals mvp
And what did that team do after 2006? Let's see: 2007: *swept* in first round (the year after winning a title) 2008: missed playoffs *entirely* 2009: bounced in 1st round 2010: destroyed in 1st round, barely winning a game
That was a team on the brink of utter collapse and implosion after years of unmet expectations. Cute that you note they won "47 games" though lol. Wade is an all-time great shooting guard - so why are your standards for him so low? You act like this was a perfectly competitive team that was challenging the east every year before Bron came. They weren't. They were bottom-feeders in the low playoff bracket with no hope for a title-run until Kang came to South Beach.
You're right about one thing though: LeBron's legacy is secure. Some of y'all egos ain't, tho.
