Not on the same level with DWade.
Its win shares, essentially a measure of how many games a player won for his team (I believe a win share is winning a quarter of a game for your team or something). Penny has more than Wade. Interesting. I didnt notice that, and frankly wouldnt have expected it. With that fact though, to argue that its "not even close" between Penny and Wade is simply false.

Also something you have to note is that Shaq missed 28 games that season while Penny played every game. The Magic went 20 and 8 without Shaq. They went 40-14 in games with Shaq. Thats a 60.7 win pace with Shaq and a 58.6 win pace without Shaq. Now you tell me who was the most valuable player on that team. Actually Ill tell you. That year it was Penny.
