I pull for the Dallas Mavericks and though I'm no fan of him personally,Wade almost singlehandedly denied them that championship (with a little ref help)...That was Shaq's last reasonably productive year...but he had already eaten away his star status.
Wade right now is better than Iverson ever was, IMO. Also, I would say Shaq was the best player on Wade's first title team.
I don't care who said no to Team USA, we should be able to win gold with 0 of our top 25 players. That's how much better we are than the rest of the world. It's a monumental task for guard play to drag team USA down that badly. Wade and Jefferson were no good, but everyone else who played significant minutes played well.

Prepare to be per 36'd to death.
Stats and the eye test are all I need, not metrics.
What if we per 36'd everyone? That would hurt guys like Iverson, Michael, Kobe, Lebron, etc. who played every single second they could. Just not my style. Hell, if we're honest, A.I. is a single championship from being the 2nd best shooting guard of all time, he might've had the best "carry an average team to the finals" job of anyone. The only one even in the running is the cleveland Lebron's but they got swept by a team much less dominating than Shaq/Kobe's lakers were in their worst year.
