Wade Ball in 2011

[And1AllDay]

Have we ever seen a bigger choke then #1 option Wade ball losing in 2011 Finals with #2 option and #3 option scoring 18 each per game?

Has any other player had #2 and #3 option scoring 18 ppg and lose the Finals series?

[3ball]

Wade was the #2 player in 2010, based on his #2 ranking in PER, VORP, BPM and WS/48

So lebron's decision was like MJ teaming up with Magic or Bird

Yet you're saying that going 2/4 as mostly underdogs, including a horrific choke is okay??..... gtfo

the heat grossly underachieved - and this is because lebron/wade underwhelmed their intergalactic potential, and were underdogs in most of their Finals.. as sbnation outlines in their legendary 2013 article below, bron/wade didn't fit that well together because they both needed catch-and-shoot skills to compliment their ball-dominance, which neither could provide the other:

So no, they didn't fit well together and the heat were frequently better when one of them was out.. they still managed to win 2 rings because of the sheer talent of the top 2 players in the league, as it would be in any era..

[3ball]

Now if Wade/lebron had superior skillsets that included elite off-ball like Kobe/MJ, then they would've fit optimally and reached the intergalactic potential that combining the top 2 players in the league is SUPPOSED to have.. :rolleyes:

In 2011 Finals Wade lost with #2 option and #3 option scoring 18 each per game has any other player had #2 and #3 option scoring 18 ppg and lost the Finals series?

Did Wade hold Bron back from a 3peat?!!!!

If Wade had any above average player in the league instead of LeGOAT they would've won in 2011

WOW so Wade cant carry Bron n Bosh in 2011 but Bron can carry Wade n Bosh in 2012 and 2013? Is that what your saying???

And against better opponent too? assuming you say 2012 Thunder and 2013 Spurs > 2011 Mavs

Careful how you reply now :D :D :D

Wade outplayed 2011 LeGOAT in both 2012 and 2013 :eek:

And nobody on those Thunder or Spurs teams was as good at that time as Dirk was in 2011.

night and day.

bron is a much worse 2nd option than 'toine.

put that in lepipe and smoke it.

Here we go, another finger pointing, excuse thread for LeLoser by his lifeless stans

[Marchesk]

Maybe Lebron had a strained groin after game 3 :confusedshrug:

[FreezingTsmoove]

Wade was playing 4 on 5 out there in 4th quarter. Wade literally needed ANYONE ELSE and he would have been fine. Can someone post Brons 4th quarter stats? From 2011?
