Everyone knows that Dwyane Wade was the best player on that floor for the entire Olympics as well as the entire season… I mean he of the three Kobe, LeBron and Wade, Wade was the closest thing to Dwight Howard when it came to blocking shots…. When it came to steals, Wade was the next best thing to Chris Paul…. When it came to clutch, Wade may have been the best of the three players…. When it came to scoring he was the best… right behind Chris Paul in assists?? The years when Kobe and LeBron’s team struggled, they didn’t even come close to putting up these kinda numbers accross the board… Points, assists, blocks, and steals, and FG%… Kobe had averaged 35 points in a season, but what were the rest of the team stats? Did they make the playoffs?? LeBron had an impressive season when he averaged 31, but how did he do defensively? Think about this? This would be the first time a player has made the All NBA FIRST TEAM over Kobe Bryant… Wade was All NBA FIRST TEAM… We all should be puzzled as to why he wasn’t on the All NBA FIRST DEFENSIVE TEAM… How does a player finish Third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, and not make the all Defensive First Team… but you fans are so biased, we don’t question things like that… We try to convince ourselves that LeBron is the best at everything… Is he really faster than Wade? is he really a better dunker than Josh Smith? Is he really a good jump shooter?? Is he really a clutch player? Is he as mature as we force ourselves to believe? Did the refs help the Cav’s to their successful record last season?? Did the refs cheat the Wizards both times in the playoffs against the Cavs? It’s funny because alot of these things are obvious… think about it… The NBA labled LeBron’s game winner against the Warriors his first game winner in his career…. does that goes to show that the game winners vs the Wizards were discreditted?
Does anyone remember the games the Heat and Cavs played against eachother this season? First Wade beat Lebron on his birthday… The next game The Heat had in a bag, until a ref claimed he didn’t hear Chalmers’ timeout before heaving the ball from half court in the middle of the game… Although LeBron out scored Wade by one point, no one talked about the overall stats… 41, 12, 7 assists, 7 Steals, and 2 blocks… No one talked about Wade’s near tripple double against the Utah Jazz… No one talked about his 55 point game vs the knicks… Wade is quicker than Both LeBron and Kobe, he plays bigger than both of them, and he was the best player for the 2008-09 season… and We all know this…. We just won’t admit it….

2008 men’s olympics basketball is finished and US beat Spain. Hands off to Spain, they are the only team that challenged team USA in the tournament but unfortunately, USA is the better team. Moreover, as what I saw on team USA from the start till the end of the men’s basketball in beijing, Kobe and Lebron are playing well but Dwyane Wade is special. Since first game till the end, I observed that DWade doesn’t need to play more minutes for him to be consistent and contribute enormous plays such as scoring in 3s and 2s, passing, steals, et al. Most importantly the Championship game against Spain who I believe he rise up to the occasion and scored 27 points (first half=21points) and put a dagger on Spain and Pau’s heart when he hit 3point basket in the final minute on 4th quarter. Beyond unreasonable doubt, WADE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE OLYMPICS. I trully believe Wade is just giving his 90% skills in this olympic tournament since he is just only their 6th man. Wait till the 2008-2009 season then we will see the real Dwyane Wade who doubted by many that he cannot overcome his injuries…

This is for Disgusting. Do you know ball at all you fool? Bron is just dunking? He is playing crazy defense and altering shots and is having a much better presence than Kobe, just look at the games, they show the truth!

The truth is that DWade is the best player on the best team in the world. He is playing better offense and defense than Kobe, has more steals and more assists you idiot, look at the stats! Not only that, DWade made Kobe shine with that alley oop. Now shut up and watch the game, the game does not lie, only the ESPN head do that….

There’s a poll at nbagauntlet.com about who’s better, Dwyane Wade or Gilbert Arenas. Wade is killing right now. I think they’re pretty even matched and it’s a shame Gilbert was left off the team.

dwayne wade is probaly the best player in the nba, since the championship against the mav’s he nearly always been injured. id have to say thought that watching fiba melo is ubstoppable in international play, he has the complete package, lebron is just bigger and stronger than everybody else, he could play the center or power-forward position quite easily.

oh and if your calling wade gay because of his commercials, didnt kobe sodomize a chick couple years back, i think she called it rape or something

The best player in the world could easily not be the best player on Team USA. First, I think LBJ is the best player in the NBA, so that’s already a strike against Kobe, but some player’s games just are not suited to the international game. It’s hard to think that Kobe’s game doesn’t suit the international game but maybe he’s not comfortable with it. Tim Duncan was frustrated with the international game and although they play different positions I think it shows it’s possible an NBA player might not be as good in the international game. Frankly I still think the player that has the most potential on Team USA is Melo, when his shot is falling, he’s almost unstoppable in international play.

Didnt Lebron answer this one himself??

Thats like putting together AFC pro bowl team and saying Peyton Manning (Lebron) is the better QB because of his stats and blah blah blah.. But everyone knows Tom Brady (Kobe) is sitting at the top..

And the most valuable piece of team USA is Dwight Howard.. We would be TOO small without him..
