And for you to use their playoff fates as evidence of how good they are is ridiculous. These Heat would get swept by the 1996 Bulls too.
And of course I realize that you cant completely compare using all NBA selections but you are misleading yourself if you think it was much harder to make All NBA first team this year than it was in 1996. We had Kobe this year but there was MJ in 1996. Both were first team locks. Wade lost out to Steve Nash while Penny was seen as better than Gary Payton and John Stockton, two players that many feel are better than Nash.
Furthermore, Wade has a higher PER but only slightly, once again affirming my statement that Wade is only slightly better.
Oh and your idea that Shaq made Penny a better passer is not supported by the facts. After Shaq left his assist ratio stayed roughly the same, slightly worse though because of his injuries that made him less good at pretty much every facet of the game.
In conclusion, you are basically just wrong in every you just said  |
I'm glad all of your opinions totally agree with proven true facts and statistics.
Lets go to one of the idiotic statements you made above. "Wade lost out to Nash". I didn't know Steve Nash was a shooting guard! When did he change postitions? For the record, Steve Nash is a better POINT GUARD than D-Wade, but not a better 2-guard (that means shooting guard). D-Wade lost out to Kobe, not Nash. And year for year, Kobe this year may have beatin MJ for 96 all 1st team.
Penny was only better at 1 thing, passing. And, he was only slightly better (.4). That does not qualify as being "close".
