    Default Wade Ball in 2011

    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?

    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:

    https://www.sbnation.com/2013/6/19/4...-finals-game-6


    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..

    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..

    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

    Wade outplayed 2011 LeGOAT in both 2012 and 2013

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

    wade w/o bron ('toine "shimmy" walker as his #2 option) vs prime dirk and the mavs:



    wade w/ bron vs past prime dirk and the mavs:



    night and day.

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

    put that in lepipe and smoke it.

    26th team assist rank and biggest ever collapse / choke in the only year they were both MVP candidates...
