Dwyane Wade is better one-on-one player
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have almost same kind of role for Miami Heat which is breaking into the defensive system of the opposition and freeing up a number of opportunities for the teammates to keep Heat in a commanding position.
While James and Wade are extremely dangerous and effective when they are not playing together, there is one skill advantage Dwyane has individually.
The 29-year-old shooting guard Dwyane Wade is absolutely incredible on one-on-one play and it is not strange at all to say that he is the best in the situation. Accompanied with the quickness and agility, Wade becomes a nightmare
for the defender who is assigned to knock down the sharp-shooter.
No doubt that LeBron James is one of the best offensive weapons when it comes to aggression however Wade’s creativity and smartness makes a better one-one-one player that James.
Wade always respond in Adversity
Miami Heat’s heartthrob Dwyane Wade performs in any situation. That is why he always responds in adversity and keeps his team intact which is another skill advantage he has on LeBron James.
The NBA Final series against the veteran power Dallas Mavericks is the most recent example of Wade’s special contribution at the time when team was facing a lot of problems. Although Miami Heat failed to secure the NBA title and
came up to victories short from becoming the champions for the second time. However the two wins that Miami had over Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Final series was because of Wade’s electrifying performances.
At the time when LeBron James had dramatic downfall in his performance after leading Miami Heat dominantly throughout the play-offs, Dwyane Wade was the man who kept the team in a competitive position. Not many players have the
skill to perform effectively when the best player of their teams is having a hard time to carry the action.
Dwyane Wade is a smart player
LeBron James is a complete player with all the elements an NBA legend should have. James major strength is aggression which makes him one of the most dangerous players in the league. However, LeBron is not the best when it comes
to mental games. This is why Dwyane Wade has a big advantage over James due to his smartness and intelligence.
Wade is also an aggressive player but he never let his aggressions took over his mental game. Dwyane is always thinking and planning to overcome the opposition which is why he is also a better defender than LeBron with a career
average of 1.8 steals and 1.0 block per game.
Wade is better in the NBA Finals
LeBron James might be the best for the team throughout the season and his versatile performance speaks for itself. However, it is observed that Dwyane Wade has an edge over James in the NBA Finals as his performance is always consistent
on the big platform.
One of the reasons Dwyane Wade is better in NBA Finals is because he tend to shift gears according to the situation. NBA Final is a different ball game and it requires more mental game when both the teams are trying their best
to dominate the other.
