    Will they be considered as equals? or will one guy be better than the other guy?

    Wade's sidekicks... (an old Shaq)
    and now (prime LBJ and prime Bosh)

    Kobe's sidekicks... (prime Shaq and prime Gasol)

    Kobe and Shaq weren't in their prime together. Kobe was getting there and Shaq was already there.

    Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are all IN their prime right now.

    Reason Lakers were so good though: Their role players were unbelievable. Fisher and Horry were especially clutch.

    Think about this one. Unless Lebron goes on to win a championship in the latter part of his career without Wade somehow, then Wade will always have one more ring than him.

    that really depends though...say they win 6 rings together and lebron is the finals MVP for all 6. That right there would hold water to argue that wade wouldn't have had any of those without Lebron. We'll have to wait and see when it's all said and done.

    Lebron never won a ring without Wade.

    Well, I'm discussing Wade here... if him having stars like LBJ and Bosh can equal to Kobe's success or will it appear as less because LBJ and Bosh < Shaq?

    Correction: Shaq was still dominant in that year Dwayne won...not to mention the rig-job finals (still, Lakers-Kings were pretty rigged too)

    I'll go out on a limb and say that prime LeBron + Bosh > Gasol

    so logically, I voted Kobe, but votes for Wade are still gonna flood in just because of anti-Kobe sentiments.

    As for the LeBron descision, my opinion is like that of some of you: Not a bad choice, but the Heat won't won just because they have the BIG Three; I don't buy into the whole selflessness/ money sacrifice thing- They are still GETTING PAID, and listing to Bron, he just sounds abit too defensive...maybe superficial?

    All in all, this is gonna be a fun season comming up... Can't belive that "two of the best three players" are gonna play together, not to mention Bosh. However, LeBron's individual legacy will be somewhat dwarfed by Dwayne's, just because it will/ should remain , in essence, Dawyne's team.

    Watever. I like LeBron, I like Kobe. I like basketball :)

    The lakers understand one thing: when the game is on the line, KB24 and Phil are in charge. I don't think the same can be said of Miami. Even in Boston we knew Pierce was in control. Who is the boss of this team?

    Wade's 2006 ring would be more deserved than all the other rings combined.
