    I presented you with a series of facts. You chose to ignore them, try to flip the scrip and overall stuck your head in the sand with "Well, I'll pick Mello anyway, you don't have to agree"

    You don't have to agree, that's the beauty of it.
    But don't call me a homer when I pick Wade over Anthony and present you with a series of FACTS that show that in fact - Wade is the better player.

    And yes, it is trolling when Player A is superior to player B but you still insist otherwise when the numbers show the opposite.

    Everything you just stated is opinion, do you realize that??

    Sadly, I think it hasn't registered.

    Huh?
    The fact that Wade is statistically superior throughout their careers is a fact, not an opinion.

    The debate is who is the better player, and since I have zero faith in you being reasonable about anything why discuss it?

    We have different opinions on the skillet of two top level players, happens all the time. Problem is you have no ability to understand that opinions vary. Instead you do what Heat fan does and claim its a "troll attempt" you know the overused claim by homeristic fans who just can't hande anybody disagreeing with them. Kinda like fish lips and the phrase.... I know right.

    Debating anything with you isn't possible, so you just go ahead and enjoy the rest of your Tuesday. :yes:

    You're wrong.
    I'm not gonna sit here and try to prove you that I'm reasonable. I work with a Knicks and two Laker fans and they would tell you that I'm unbiased when I'm seriously talking basketball.

    You, however, do troll. Openly and you admit as much.

    You just told me that if you took the exact surroundings and inserted Melo or Wade that it's a fact Wade would do better.

    It's a scenario that's impossible to know, yet you called it a fact.

    Enough said, goodnight kid.

    Show me where I said that its a fact?
    Fact is that Wade numbers are superior to Melo'd. Never did I say that it's a fact about Wade's team being better.
    I stated, I never insisted on it being a fact.

    Knicks Fans wanted Lebron. He said no
    Knicks Fans wanted Wade. He said no
    Knicks Fans wanted Boozer He said no.
    Knicks Fans wanted Bosh. He said no
    Knicks Fans wanted CP3. He said no
    Knicks Fans wanted Dwight Howard He said no.
    And Kyrie Irving will say no as well.

    And thats not even mentioning all the other player acquisition failures of the other NY teams.

    But I am glad to see you are so laughably thin skinned, no fanbase is as simulatenously arrogant and insecure as NY fans.

    Man the school systems down in FL for kids 25 and under is fu--ing brutal.

    Boozer? Bosh? Howard?

    Just because big FA are going to be rumored to popular teams doesn't mean the fans were drooling over them.

    Carlos Boozer...lololololol, you guys are too much.

    Great point. New York can't get anybody they want. Even the Knicks are stuck with 2 Olympians.

    Yep.

    and it is also a fact that Wade got past the first round in each of his first three years in the NBA. Melo?

    So he has the hardware argument too.

    Wade came in with Melo and is already a first ballot hall of famer. Melo has work to do. (See Bernard King)

    You people are such simple minds. You WANT someone to argue with. I simply refuted some worthless stats some idiot posted with some more stupid stats that I found...I even said they were ridiculous stats, yet you guys just can't let go. Not once did I say NY is better than Miami...but sure enough here comes the village idiot trying to turn it into that.

    Your all so scattered brained and frustrated its comical, what's even more comical is you do it to yourselves.

    Village idiot huh? The same guy you called an idiot for saying,

    A. The Knicks three point shooting bonanza would come to an end

    B. The Knicks were an overrated team because they didn't play defense

    And

    C. The comment you said proved I had no idea what I was talking about. The Pacers are a better team than the Knicks.

    Yeah, I really feel like an idiot for being right.

    And of course you ended with a whoa is me my labia hurts post last night about just let a poor Knicks fan alone when you're the one kicking the ant mound at every opportunity.

    Don't look now, but the Cavs have had a top-10 offense for the past 6 weeks and averaged something like 107 ppg in February.

    If you google "Fantasy basketball efficiency", that site comes up #2 on the list. What you posted is called a boxscore efficiency rating. It is a Fantasy Basketball stat. Again, it is how James Harden is ranked the #1 SG, while shooting 7 percentage points less than Wade.

    Ok Section or Heat fans, I am purely asking from a general sports fan POV....

    Why doesn't LBJ do the dunk contest? I never watch the All-Star weekend, but I would definitely tune in for that if he is did it.....

    If it is because he is afraid to lose it so to speak that wouldn't be an issue, he would win hands down.....

    I know that early in his career, Nike didn't want him to do it. Now, I don;t know why he doesn't do it.

    Most sports stars nowadays won't do anything unless they are getting paid......which is pretty sad.

    But I think endorsement deals have some say in those guys not competing in it as well. I don't think companies want their employees taking any unnecessary risks, especially if the company isn't set to earn money off of it.

    Just my 2 cents - but established stars have very little to benefit. They're 'supposed' to win and if they don't have anything to gain if they do.

    Guys like Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard were able to really sky-rocket their popularity by doing it, though. Younger guys looking for exposure have a lot more to gain than the stars.

    NBA is a business though, they are in the business to create revenue, if he did they would create huge revenue.....

    Again whether he won or not, it would be awesome to see what he can do, because even if he missed on an attempt I would gather whatever he was trying to do would on a difficulty scale be alot harder than the other guys....
