Wade yes, but a four year run with LeBron. Bosh, not so much
it's all hypothetical anyway, but if the Cavaliers somehow drafted Wade after Lebron's third year in the league and they played together for ten years, then I think he and LeBron would be Jordan/Pippen 2.0 with comparable success, especially with a HOF coach. I never thought Bosh was that great, but I think I undervalue him b/c he was in Toronto, and then 3rd guy on the heat. Looking at Bosh's stats, he made 11 all-star teams (who knew?) but had one 2nd team all-nba in the middle of his run with Toronto.
MJ is great, I could easily make his case as GOAT, but I think a lot of people let their judgement get clouded b/c of how they feel about LeBron. I've watched them both quite a bit, and I'd take MJ over LeBron, but I think it's closer than a lot of other people.
Pippen vs. Wade is an interesting discussion. I could make a case for either as well, but it's hard to say how well Pippen would have done if is was absolutely THE guy like Wade was for so many years.
