They do the same for Lebron...... every piece of his game is criticized and he's dominating the whole league at what 22?

Every superstar gets criticized. if they get a lil lazy or have an off year you better believe people will take notice.

If Kobe messes up, I know plenty of people ready to attack

Look at Shaq, the most physically dominant big man in history, he fell off this year and now hes a bum

Wade is playing pretty poorly at times this season compared to his last couple years, people don't care about excuses, they judge you for what you do today.

You are only as good as your last game right?

I miss all of our young gun fan favorites from the 21st century. Riley has signed a bunch of these guys, Caron, Rasual, Eddie House, Kapono, etc. It's too bad none of them are on our team anymore.

They really don't, LeBron gets criticized SO much less by fans. The only thing he gets criticized for is his humongous ego and the fact that he thinks he is god.

It's been like this with Wade ever since the 2006 finals, he gets NO credit for his accomplishments and noone will talk about him when he's playing well but he's the topic of discussion when he's having a down year. I'm sick of it man.

We drafted all of those guys except for Kapono.

Caron is the only one I really wish we had.

Kapono is a great bench shooter to have, but its not a huge loss.

Cook is better than House, just that Riley isn't giving Cook respect or minutes, similar to House. I don't miss House, just wish Cook played more.

Wright is better than Rasual, similar type players, I don't miss Rasual.

Lebron gets criticized less this year because he has less to be criticized about.

I'm a big Wade fan but he should have came with a better performance in that skills challenge.

He should have just pulled a McGrady and said he was scared to go to New Orleans because of terrorists.

Wade got more magazine covers, the #1 selling jersey in the USA and Europe, more commercials, than just about anyone in the NBA since 2006. How is that no credit? Everyone said he was great and most people say he is the main reason we won the ring, not Shaq.

Lebron always said the right things and was very humble coming into the league and all through his career.

This season he has become more vocal and picked up more of a killer instinct like the great players should have. He never had a huge ego or said stupid comments in interviews.

So, see you are saying things about that guy that are not even true, so please don't cry about Wade getting critics, you do the same thing lol.

Wade just needs to recover the things he has lost in his game and make people shut up by showing them they are wrong about him. You see him complain to referees when things go wrong, he is frustrated that he can't do what he was doing just 1 year ago. This second half maybe he can add something to his game and then next year be back at 100%>

LeBron only gets criticized by Lakers fans who feel offended that he's viewed as equal to or better than Kobe, which is understandable, because he's not. Seriously, the kid doesn't get much heat at all. It's all love.

Wade is the talk of the general board, which is pathetic.

Every thread somehow finds a way to mention Wade in a negative light.

flash is too quiet and too humble for his own good, perhaps he needs to add some cockiness and flair to his game. I think it was last year or the year before on national tv when he challenged Timmah D and owned him and everyone knew it from the way he acted--we dont see that anymore. And this season, he lost that killer instinct that he used to have. A lousy team, a bad shoulder, knee and, family problems dont help either, but he's not the same player we saw this time last year. Rest, get your chit together, come off the bench over the summer, and then whoop azz next year. :nod: :nod:

WHO CARES!!! just freaking ignore them just like everyone else on the Heat board does. There will always be people who spend every waking moment with an unhealthy obsession towards a player they dislike.

Why are people here defending LeBron. F him.

Anyways, Wade needs to stop using the injury as a clutch. The announcers were talking about it, like if it had anything to do with his performance. Hope next year brings new things and overall new winning attitude.

For one Lebron is better than Kobe was at 22 and very close to him right now.

Second, Wade was always the leader by fans overall when comparing Lebron, Melo and Wade. This year that has changed and Wade is the 3rd best this season.

How can Wade be so unpopular and hated by everyone and yet his jersey is the #1 seller in the world?
