I wonder what you're opinion would be if we gave AI several years of his prime with a player like Shaq and Lebron.


See, I don't think AI would do as well with those guys. He was a ball hog in the purest sense.
yep. LBJ would never play with AI.

AI is the exact same as carmelo anthony. gifted scorer, nothing else. had teams built around their deficiencies, defense and rebounding, then when they scored 40 points per game and lose, their fanboys cry foul b/c they didnt have more help. newsflash: the team has a flawed star and built in a flawed fashion to compensate. if those other guys on their team were great 2 way players, they'd be the superstar, not AI/melo-- and you know they woldnt have that.


wade drives me crazy and never gets the heat i think he deserves, but he is/was a significantly better player than AI can ever dream to be.

Carmelo beat Wade in college and is vastly superior to Scottie Pippin.

AI is one of the most overrated players in the history of the NBA. Just because your small that doesn't make what you do better than what someone else does. I hate the "pound for pound" crap people say. He was selfish, shot a low percentage, didn't rebound, and was awful on defense because he went for every steal. He had a terrible attitude and was a terrible teammate. Didn't make other players better at all. Oh and thug POS.

I despise D-Wade, and I still can't think of any remotely plausible scenario whereby you can put AI ahead of him as a basketball player.

They're a lot closer to each other than some would be lead to believe in this thread but if I'm building a team I'm taking Wade.

who cares? its like being the best MLB pitcher of all time who threw sub 80 mph. he was short, but he was given other talents to compensate. until they create an under 6 foot or pound for pound basketball league, those things dont really matter

there's been a few to note dwade is bigger so they going with wade. Should be other way around. Iverson did MORE with less. You get it. Its like a male being a bigger porn star with a small peen. Pretty darn incredible accomplishment.

AI consistently had a worse FG% throughout career... different styles of offense to say the least. 
efficient rule vs not nearly aswefficient style.

Wade by a wide margin.
