This is exactly the issue. Even if Wade were putting up identically good numbers to James or 'Melo (and he's not), he would and should still be behind them, in terms of impact, due to the fact that similar performance at a younger age is more impressive and points to greater heights.

However, I do agree with you.. Wade (and subsequently Miami) is on a tear lately, but isn't getting much recognition. Here's to D-Dubya.

Is Wade really getting little recognition? People keep talking about how great a draft this is, primarily due to Wade playing like a star behind the two phenoms. Maybe among casual NBA fans, he doesn't get much pub...but among the fans on this board, he gets talked about a lot.
I think the idea that he's being ignored is out there only because some Miami fans keep insisting that that's the case just because he doesn't get discussed
as much as James and 'Melo.
But he shouldn't be discussed
as much. He's "merely" a great rookie talent. The other two are two of the biggest prospects to hit the NBA in a number of years. Wade should be discussed a fair amount, and is, but James and 'Melo should be talked about more...and are.
In my opinion, anyway.
