09 D-Wade vs ???

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Oh...you value success. Because success is all about the individual, right? The 11 other guys on roster have nothing else to do with that. If Wade had Gasol and Odom in 09 his "success" would have been a lot higher no? Aren't you clever for figuring that out.

LeBron didn't have the best supporting cast around him in either 2009 or 2010. His coach was Mike Brown. Didn't stop him from making minced meat outta the Hawks in a way Wade should've done in the first round.

Not like I'm just overlooking the individual's play for team success either. Kobe and LeBron were both historically great during the seasons I mentioned.

The Celtics aren't the Hawks, and 09 Wade isn't 10 Wade.

Continue with your straw-man. I'm out.

But I'm sure you would say 2010 Bron was better than 2010 Wade

Those teams take massive dumps over the Miami teams of those years. Seriously, stop with this garbage. That team won 66 games, and was a title favourite. Bron had a lot of good role-players, Wade had a rookie Beasley, and that Cavs team was built to have shooters and defend well (i.e. to suit Lebron's ball dominant style of play).

Nothing special. Run-of-the-mill to be honest, another McGrady, another Arenas, will definitely fade into obscurity decades from now.

Some mentioned T-Mac so I came up with:

37.3/7.2/5.5 on 49/41/82 (Feb 21-Mar 19)

I'll look up Lebron next.

[ArbitraryWater]

His 2009 season is the best season by any perimeter player last decade. He carried that abysmal team to 47 wins. He was an amazing scorer, an amazing defensive player, AND HE WAS THE TEAMS PG. Kobe, Lebron, Paul...none of them have a better season when you take defense and all of the rest of this into context.

LeBron counts as a perimeter player, right?

So, no...

There are multiple LeBron versions better than '09 Wade ('09 LeBron himself), and if you're strictly talking regular season, probably a good portion too.

I love '09 Wade, but I'm tempted to taking 2010 Wade over him... I think he got better, and wasn't burned out(or whatever it was) come playoff time. Should have beat that Hawks team.

Lets not deny it, Wade was flat out disappointing in the playoffs.

LeBron swept Atlanta with a similarly trash team, putting up 34/8/6/3/1 on 56%.

There's no question Wade was burned out in the '09 playoffs. He had to be super-human every night that season just for the Heat to be competetive. Nevertheless it was a sub par series for sure by his standards that year. It's unfortunate that 2 of Wade's absolute prime years were wasted on bad teams, but it ultimately payed off so I can't really complain.

Taking the entire regular season into consideration, I honestly feel that CP3 was just as good as Wade that year.
