its funny you are saying it about playing as a team so you leave kobe and wade out
but they both won gold for the US in 2008 lol
that argument failed
you are just a hater
Wade is good, but he doesn't bring anything unique to the team. He's a guard that doesn't really have great long range shooting. His biggest asset is that he can slash to the basket, but every player on the team could pretty much do that PLUS they can shoot. That is why I left him out.
and what does Kobe add to the team that they really need? sure he can shoot, but so can those other guys. If anything, his need to take 22+ shots per game would be a detriment to the team.Last edited by -Swizzy-; 01-14-2012, 03:35 AM.

and all those wins looked easy because Miami has better chemistry without Wade..... not because Wade isn't good, but because they already have Lebron, and they have more shooters on the floor w/o Wade, Heat are better.
You don't need a Wade on team USA when you have 8 other guys on the floor that can also attack the basket.
Only those who have played actual basketball will understand that it isn't the skill of the team you are playing against, its the TYPE of skill that matters. I have played plenty of street games where other teams have been loaded with skill but they just couldn't score because they were all doing the same thing.
slashers need shooters and visa versa.

Chris Bosh= Best of the big 3.

and I never said that one player is better than another(even though I think Lebron is better than Wade). Its not the point of what I'm saying. Its that Wade doesn't fit into that system. Lebron just plays the team game better than any superstar in the league right now and he's better at making the right decision at every moment of the game instead of just putting his head down and running to the basket every time he gets the ball.Last edited by -Swizzy-; 01-31-2012, 01:32 PM.

Switched Allen for Martin.
Martin is also a great shooter and he is quicker too. Can play big even with limited minutes.
PF Durant / Lebron
SF Gay / Harden
SG Rose / Irving
PG Paul / Deron
updated my lineups. Switched Melo and Martin for Kobe and Irving.
Saw Irving play for the first time in the nba this week and the guy is legit. He is incredibely skilled, athletic and really smart. He's the triple threat and can do everything on the floor.
IMO he's more than good enough to make the team as a 2-guard.
edit: forgot about about Rudy Gay.smh. yeah, I'd rather Rudy than Kobe at sf.Last edited by -Swizzy-; 01-31-2012, 05:15 PM.
