One guy played with Shaq against Dallas, and the other guy played with larry Hughes against Duncan's Spurs at their peak.

93 for Wade is really, really good by 2K16 standards. That's basically next tier after prime kareem/Russell/shaq/Kobe/Magic/Bird/jordan/Lebron. It's on the next tier of all time greats, which is where he belongs.

RS - 27.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 6.7 apg on 49.5%FG/17.1%3PT/78.3%FT
P/O - 28.4 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 5.7 apg on 49.7%FG/37.8%3PT/80.8%FT
Finals: 34.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 3.8 apg on 46.8%FG/27.3%FT/77.3%FG


Finals MVP, 2nd team All Nba, top 6 Finals performance ever


'07 LeBron:
RS - 27.3 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 6 apg on 47.6%FG/31.9%3PT/69.8%FT
P/O - 25.1 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 8 apg on 41.6%FG/28%3PT/75.5%FT
Finals: 22 ppg, 7 rpg, 6.8 apg on 35.6%FG/20%FT/69%FT


2nd team All Nba, one of the worst Finals performances ever.




... Go ahead and tell me '07 LeBron > '06 Wade. Nothing is stopping you.

It seems like they are taking into account the team success of a given year to boost or lower the overall for classic players. I know that a lot of people for some reason perceive the post baseball Jordan to be the GOAT Mike, but IMO the 87-92 Mike is the better player by quite a bit.

Oh Shaq, right?


Finals: 13.7 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 0.8 bpg on 60.7%FG/29.2%FT


I'm not trying to diminish Shaq's role on that team but that wasn't the Prime Shaq that Kobe had. Dude had two single digit games in that Finals vs Dallas.

Why do they have Greg Monroe listed as a PF? He's the Bucks starting C.


I'm sure this will get patched, tho.

Without shaq miami never even makes into the finals to play dallas in 2006, so the point is moot. Lebron took a terrible team to the finals pretty much by himself..

Even 06 shaq was still getting tons of defensive attention.

Well, he was asked to do a lot more from 87-91 and 92-93 the pace of play was still way faster than 96-98.

I don't think jordan 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0 were miles better or worse from each other, but they certainly had very different strengths. I can understand arguments for all three versions, honestly. Really no bad answer.

and if Wade wasn't on the '06 Heat, they don't make the Finals either. Wade was a bigger piece to that team. He was the alpha, Shaq was the sidekick.


Also, I credit LeBron for taking that team to the Finals but you forget one little thing:


- bet a 41-41 without their two top players (Arena and Butler)
- bet the 41-41 Nets
- bet the 53-29 Pistons who lost Big Ben in the offseason (DET beat them in '06 w/ Ben)

That, along with 2002, were the two worst Eastern Conferences in history. At least Wade had to go through the 49 win Nets (4th ranked defense) and the 64 league best win Pistons (5th best defense) who actually had the DPOY.


Lastly, the Spurs bet the Cavs by an average margin of 6 ppg with LeBron missing all those shots. Worst part is LeBron went 19-53 (35.8%FG) from the field in the last two games yet the Spurs won by a combined 4 points.
