Zo and Wade... What energy... :D :D

M54: Why compare him with Kobe? No way, hehe Kobe will never have Wade's leadership and humility hehe.

I see: Wade - Isiah comparo...

D-Wade is awesome. He carried the Miami Heat till the end. What a performance! He is trully one of the young superstars of the NBA. He is not cocky and very humble. My hats off to him and the Heat.

Pistons should have settled with a 2 instead of going for the trey in the closing minutes of the game. They bungled their oppurtunities behind the arc and free throw line. What a waste!

Wade has more control in his game than Kobe, while Kobe maybe more talented... Wade is more mature and doesn't or rarely engages in mano-e-mano, I'm better than you, sequences with his opponents. Phil Jackson said it himself, there's no better player in setting up Shaquille O'Neal than Kobe, problem is his big ego offen times gets in his way.

I believe M54 is comparing Wade to Kobe in terms of playoff performances, true Kobe is a selfish, self centered, narcisic individual, but in those 3 straight championships he performed and delivered in the clutch. Remember the finals game against Indiana with Shaq fouling out in regulation, Kobe hit 3 or 4 straight shots to preserve the win, or averaging 45pts. against the Spurs. and the list goes on...

yes sir, you are correct. although i think niloloko lang ako ni pareng theveed because he knows i'm a laker fan :D

Wade was clutch even last year. i was at AA arena when he led the young Heat (no Shaq, Zo or DJ yet!) in his rookie year past the NO Hornets and played the powerhouse Pacers tough.

funny thing is, the only time i saw him engage in trash talking was with, ironically, Kobe Bryant. he was guarding Kobe when Kobe told him to stop whining to the refs about calls. i also recall that he blocked Kobe twice, stole the ball and dunked on him in that game :D

wala pa ata si wade when kobe began to shine... I think he's only in his sophomore year. Too early to compare but based on the two games they had this year... dun ako kay wade! hehehe :D

M54: HEHEHE... pansin mo din no.... langya ka sa fantasy league natin eh hehehe

it took two seasons for kobe before he got C-ring... same team ang tumatalo sa kanila, UTAH... first coach yong white-haired, then kurt rambis as interim, that time kasama nila si rodman, na hindi na rin pinaglaro ni kurt rambis dahil sa inis.

Kobe was drafted by the then Charlotte Hornet with the 13th pick (then traded to LA) in 1996, he got his first championship in 2000 so thats around 4 seasons before he got his first championship ring.

Ah kilala ko yan coach na yan! Si Leslie Nielsen? Este! del harris :D Naalala ko yun game na yun. yun 2 consecutive airballs at crunch time? ganda pa ng porma nya, ala fade away ni jordan. Meron pa yun na-sweep sila ng Spurs in 98-99 after they defeated scottie, barkley and hakeem in the 1st round. kasama pa ata nila si glenn rice, traded for elden campbell and eddie jones from the hornets. I think kobe came into the league in 96-97 traded for vlade. that year lakers signed shaq(kaya malakas loob nila ibasura si vlade hehe) and at the same time nag aaway na sila ni shaq hehehe. mga 4 years pa after his rookie year when phil became their coach in 99-00 season.
