How much is Wade's legacy hurt by this Finals

Lebron is 26, he got them to the finals, then had a bad series against Dallas.
Wade was pretty much quiet against the Bulls and Celtics.

 

Oh that's funny, Kobe won multiple championships without Shaq and Gasol right?

 

Not at all. he's already proven what he has. LeBron took a dive because of this. If I was him, I'd just leave the country and disappear for a while like Dirk did a few years back (and work on my post game).

 

Exactly. I've lost a lot of respect for Dwade since he acquired LeBron, but, he showed he wasn't taking the easy way out for a title. LeBron on the other hand...

 

Told you so...

 

This would be the appropriate response.


If anything, he didn't get the ball enough. Lebron held him back, in fact...

 

in clutch moments in the last two games he has had crucial turnovers that were UNFORCED. that's gotta hurt it a little bit

 

Secretly disguised Kobe is better thread (which obviously he is) by a KOF.

 

if wade was the best player on his team, this loss would be more magnified considering he did choke also tonight, and missed a ft in game 4.

for the finals series, lebron deserves 200% of the blame. i have never seen a player so dominant shrink so much..

 

LeBron James legacy is the only one it hurt.

Let's be honest here if LeBron played like he was expected to this series would have been a sweep.

Dallas did a great job on him and he crumbled. Wade on the other hand carried them most of the series. Tonight was the only one where he didn't look as good.

 

Kobe is done for, he will not return to another finals. Father time has never lost and he has caught up to Kobe.:grin:

 

I sure lost respect to him. Yelling at the refs like he did and poking fun at dirk.

 

Exactly. LeBron is mentally weak. It's so much like McGrady it hurts. It's like someone cloned Mcgrady, gave him more size and more talent, and yet still forgot to give him a heart.

Wade on the other hand was absolutely amazing. God, I hope LeBron's douchebag attitude doesn't rub off on him...

 

Not so fast. You never know what great piece some idiot GM might throw the Lakers way.

 

As soft as TMac is, he still would have got 20-30 shots up these past 3 games. His problem was always laziness in practice, not fear in the games.

 

Atleast Kobe proved he can carry a team with no HOF's. Weak argument

 

exactly. tmac would go out gunning. he took 25 shots in the game 7 blowout vs dallas. put up 40 pts in game 6 in 08. dude's problems were injuries, and not getting better year in and year out with his game. tmac never choked like this.

lebron looked like a chump out there for 5 games straight.

 

Wade's legacy is hurt very little. Wade came to play.

Nowitzki went down FIRING. 3-20 going into the 4th quarter but at least he put it on his shoulders.

Lebron was scared to do that. If Lebron actually took all the shots and missed them and lost, he'da been blasted. But the thing is people just wanted to see him even TRY to dominate so he shoulda been gunning.

 

I don't think Wade's legacy will take a hit. It would have taken a big hit if he had kept playing like he did against Chicago, but he really turned it on for the first five games of this series.

 

His problem was really overall just lack of patience. If he's not on a "win now" team he tends to give up.
