Have People Forgotten about Dwyane?
Can a brother get some love? 1 championship a career average of 25.4 ppg 6.4 apg 5.4 RPG and 1.8 spg and people are talking about Dwyane Wade being the second option on his team? I would like to address this notion and say that is pure blasphemy and ignorance. First of all I would like to say between Bosh Wade and Bron Bron there is no real number two option they are all first options playing together. In any game or instance one of the three can virtually take over the game and give Miami a W but to call Dwyane Wade a second option or saying that LeBron is much better than him is absolutely ignorant and in order to make these statements you may watch little basketball. I'm going to only use the 2011 NBA playoffs as my argument because as of this year’s Heat run, many fans are starting to run away with this ignorant notion that LeBron is much better or even better than Dwyane Wade. Yes, LeBron and Bosh virtually carried Dwyane during the Chicago series in which the man known around the League as Flash struggled and was taken out of the game by the beautiful team defense displayed by Chicago's backcourt defensive stronghold. Yes, he only averaged 18.5 ppg on 41% percent shooting and a low number of 2.2 apg but he is also the same Dwyane Wade who averaged an incredible 30.2 ppg in the Boston series to go along with a beautiful 4.8 apg and 6.8 RPG. In whose world are those stats of a second option? I understand that he may not have as many supporters as The King with No Crown or The Chosen One but do not disgrace this man's production and call him a second option because he doesn't fit the description. His dominance, brilliance and his role on the defensive side of the floor has been just as great as LBJ's so your argument of him as a 2nd option is less than valid. I would also like to throw out key instances of when he took over games. Game 4 Dwade was a ghost on the floor and then overtime came in which he scored 6 key points along with three blocks the last one being the emphatic block of Derrick Rose in which he tossed a desperate layup attempt out of bounds 2nd option type moment? I think not. Then there is Game 5 the game in which LeBron’s legacy took a huge boost and Scottie Pippen made those blasphemous comments about how he may end up better than Jordan. Answer to that statement win 5 rings and then we can talk. But with all that set aside LeBron was extremely clutch while helping Miami overcome a late game 10 point deficit, not trying to discredit Bron Bron but LeBron did not start the fourth quarter well missing a couple of free throws and giving up some costly turnovers, but the man known as Flash was huge from the beginning of the fourth quarter in propelling the comeback, even though he set a Heat record with 9 turnovers in the game Wade scored 10 points in the extra session and had a key four point play that allowed LeBron the chance to redeem his fourth quarter flaws. With all this being said I'm just trying to say that Dwyane's not at the point of his career in which he has to prove things too many as Marshall Mathers had to when he came out with the track, "Hi my name is Slim Shady", because you already know who Flash is and the resume speaks for itself.
