Skill Advantages Dwyane Wade has over LeBron James: NBA Feature (Part-1)
When former Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James shifted his talents to the South Beach, the chances of Miami Heat winning the NBA title sky rocketed. With Dwyane Wade already on the team and Chris Bosh completing a sign-and-trade
deal on the same day, Miami became the hot favourites for the championship title.

The common thing about James and Wade is that they both appeared in the same NBA draft in 2003 when James was picked up by Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick and Dwyane was selected by Miami Heat with the fifth overall
pick. Both have played eight NBA seasons and have proven their greatness in a very short time.
Statistically speaking LeBron James have an edge over Wade which is why most believe that James is the best active player in the league at the moment. However, Dwyane’s pro-active and never say dies approach is what gives him an
edge.
