Dwyane Wade is better than LeBron James

Statistics: My opponent seems to not be understanding my point. I just explained the reason for LeBron's inflated stats and went even further to show Dwyane Wade, if not more efficient, is as efficient as Dwyane Wade. So, since my opponent does not get my refutation, I will elaborate even further by listing each player's stats and do it per minute for their career totals: Dwyane Wade: Points – 0.68 Assists – 0.18 Rebounds – 0.13 Steals – 0.05 Blocks – 0.03 LeBron James: Points – 0.69 Assists – 0.17 Rebounds – 0.17 Steals – 0.04 Blocks – 0.02 As you can see, Wade defeats LeBron in three of the main five statistical categories so you saying this "LeBron gets every statistic in the game more than Wade" is false and not true. Wade is more efficient than LeBron and is doing better than LeBron in statistics. Thus, you're point fails, and my refutation stands. MVP: Yes, it is a biased award. Unless it's written down in legal papers or documented, it's all their opinion regardless of who the ‘best player on the best team is'. Next, you seem to be downgrading LeBron's Cavaliers team, and I'll tell you the truth, you are severely mistaken. Let me show you the similarities between Wade's and LeBron's teams in which I show the top scorers for each respective team from the 2009-2010 season: Miami Heat [1]: Michael Beasley – 14.8 Jermaine O'Neal – 13.6 Udonis Haslem – 9.9 Quentin Richardson – 8.9 Dorell Wright – 7.1 Cleveland Cavaliers [2]: Antawn Jamison – 15.8 Mo Williams – 15.8 Shaquille O'Neal – 12.0 Sebastian Telfair – 9.8 Delonte West – 8.8 Each player on the Cavaliers outplayed their respective player on the Heat, so what makes you think LeBron didn't have a good supporting group? Also, how does the MVP award show leadership when LeBron can't even lead his team to a championship and even further, being the ‘best player on the best team' does not necessarily show leadership. Player Rating: Fantasy Basketball is a way of drafting current NBA players and playing with your friends with the players you had drafted. The way you win the game is by winning the majority of nine different categories that each player contributes to. Basically, the way they rate players in Fantasy Basketball are the players that do the best with all nine categories. These categories go beyond scoring but also things like total wins, which LeBron's Cavaliers team last year dominated in. As you can see, Fantasy Basketball isn't a real measure of a player's greatness, just something used to help a person win in the environment of Fantasy Basketball. Also, stats aren't everything, they are things like rings, being clutch, and other factors, but regardless, I've already proved Wade has better stats. Injury/Physique: First of all, like I said, Wade has better stats, so even though LeBron has a bigger and strong body, Wade is still able to produce better results. Also, different players get injured in different ways. One day, one player could get bashed in the knee by a big man's elbow while someone else get hit in the stomach by someone's hand. As you can see there are so many varying factors that you can't use this as an accurate measure of a player's greatness. Championships: My opponent's following statements were quite absurd. He tries to make some sort of logic that because Wade had a good supporting cast, Wade therefore got better in some weird way. However, my opponent doesn't realize that Shaq only had 13.7 points per game for the finals while Wade lead the team in points each game for the finals. Next, my opponent tries to say the spurs were the superior team, that's why they beat the Cavs in 07. The funny thing is, though, is that during the regular season, Miami got beaten by the Mavericks twice [3] and were down two in the finals. Would you not agree that the Mavericks were the superior team at that point? Wade realized he wouldn't have to play normally to beat this team so that's why he did beyond amazing in the last four games while LeBron didn't change anything to his game, he just watched while his team lost. Heart of a Champion: What qualifies a heart of champion you ask? Simple, someone who is able to single handedly carry their team to a finals win despite the disadvantages. Also, like I've already proved, LeBron has had great supporting casts, so your last statement is false. Conclusion: Firstly, I've already disproved my opponent's injury theory. Second, I already provided the facts for why Shaq's role in the finals was nowhere near what Wade did. Third, I've stated in my speech that my opponent downplaying LeBron's team was unjustified and false. To continue, I've already elaborated on the heart of a champion. Next my opponent says "if LeBron has better stats than Dwayne Wade how in any logical reasoning is Dwayne Wade better?" Well, I've already proved that Wade has better stats and stated there are more factors than this, but based on your logic, you've just set yourself up for losing this debate. If stats decide everything, and I've proved Wade has better stats, than Wade is better. Finally, my opponent says we have to wait until the middle of the season, but the resolution clearly states present time and everything that happened up until now. Nowhere does it imply sometime in the future. Thus, we need to go off the facts we already have, and Wade is doing better than LeBron. The Monta Ellis statement doesn't make sense because you have take into account his whole career. So to conclude, I've thoroughly refuted my opponent and supported my contentions to prove Wade truly is the better player over LeBron. References: [1] http://www.basketball-reference.com...
