Wade Is Officially The Second Coming Of Michael Jordan

according to those clowns on ESPN! forget the fact he hasnt won jack yet, or that Kobie has three rings and countless pressure shots made in 4 finals appearances.

isnt it funny how Wade with Shaq is the second coming, but Kobe with Shaq is the selfish player!

Yes but Wade wasn't accused of raping a white chick on Colorado that really is the reason here don't be fooled...

And at least Jordan played defense I've yet to see Wade do that.

You know I think I realize the main reason why I dislike Wade beyond the fact I think he's pretty overrated is that its make me defend Jordan and say nice things about him.

I think I'm going to cry

No. Not even Jordan got that kind of royal treatment.

As regally as Jordan was treated by the zebras, I can't remember any playoff game he shot as many free throws as the opposing team.

look Wade is good but to say he is the second coming of Jordan is a strech, disrespectful, and just totally showing your foolishiness, plus they are totally disregarding a guy who is better than him... Kobe, I tell you Wade is the media's love- I'll say this Wade to me can be a mix between Jordan and Iverson, but to say he is the next Jordan is terrible

I do admit, Wade has more skills than Jordone. And he is also getting the same preferential treatment as Jordone. I think he may actually end up better than Jordone, but then again Jordone barely makes my All-time top ten.

Let's see Jordan play Wade one-on-one pay per-view.

NO WAY in Hell that Wade has more skill than Jordan or Kobe. Zero. Wade is a one horse wonder - drive to the hole and hope for the call. Not nearly as complete a player as either MJ or Kobe. That fact will bear itself out in the long run. He's being coddled bigtime by the refs. He has made some clutch shots, for sure, but the amount of calls he is getting is staggering.

When was the last time the ratings for the NBA were solid? The Jordan Era.

When did the NBA start their ratings slump? The end of the Jordan Era.

If you were in charge at Disney, and you had two of your stations locked in contracts with a major sports league that has slumped since it lost its biggest commodity, what would you do? You'd do whatever you could to market a superstar at MJ's level, reference MJ repeatedly and pray that the nation listens.

Don't take the comparisons so seriously. They'd do the same to anyone else in Wade position, as they've done with Kobe many of times in the past. Unfortunately for Kobe, he serves the ratings better by being the enemy.

What are the ratings for these Finals anyways?

Jordan got calls but never like that. I remember saying in the 3rd quarter with about 3 minutes left that Wade was going to the line as much as it would take to let the Heat win

does that mean MJ cheats too?!

Come on guys... Get on Wade for faking injuries, or whenever it is due. Get on ESPN and the media hype machine... Don't discredit the guy though for a great performance. Even if he didn't deserve some of those calls, that had nothing to do with his performance and it shouldn't take anything away from it.

You know a player has entered superstar status when they are down in a game, yet they have the ball and your thinking, "oh man we're in trouble." That's what Jordan did to opponents. That's what Kobe and Wade both do now. He's a great young player, people shouldn't be anti-Wade just in support of Kobe.

Let's see how this second coming of MJ fares in the Olympics games when there are no Stern's cronies to bail him out with phantom calls.

Some claim he is the re-incarnation of Buddha and the second coming of Jesus Christ as well. Humble to the bone and refuses to take 30 shots (ala Shaq)

I prefer it this way, with Kobe the hated one only to prove the idiots wrong.

what is interesting is that Shaq/Wade are a perfect couple just like Shaq/Kobe but in completely different ways

Shaq and Kobe's game compliment each other better skillwise since Kobe's outside game is much more lethal and his entry passes were much better

Wade's game skillwise doesn't fit Shaq much at all. He clogs the paint with defenders and Wade's outside game consists of pulling up off the dribble and not ball movement out of the post

But the way Wade fits so well is that they are both foul machines especially when facing the strategy the Mavs have been using. Wade's free throws per game in the first three series were nothing out of the ordinary. I think around 8 a game which is perfectly normal for a player of his caliber. The difference in this series aside from a few poor calls is that the Mavs are fouling the hell out of Shaq and getting themselves in the penalty way too quick. On one hand they are denying Shaq easy baskets when he gets position but on the other hand with the perimeter play being called so tight the last few years it's almost not even worth it if you think about it

Runner up....

Unfortunately you were right that the NBA finals could come down to the officials. David Stern would rather choke to death on his own vomit than hand Mark Cuban the trophy. It's clear he instructed the refs to take an active interest in the outcomes of the games. Every time Wade drives the lane the refs call a foul on whoever is closest.
