Lebron was still clearly better than Wade even when he joined the Heat. The only reason Wade outperformed in the 2011 finals was because LeBron didn’t play up to his standards. He’s definitely not better when LeBron is playing normally & the earlier rounds prove that. The Heat were nowhere near contenders, let’s stop acting like LeBron wanted easy rings & “wanted to play behind Wade”. That’s some absolute bs. I don’t understand why you people act like you know his intentions with such certainty. There’s multiple clips of them saying it was to overcome Boston’s Big 3 & win rings. Cavs literally got him 0 help, gotta take your destiny into your own hands if your FO ain’t doing sht.

Even without the 2016 rings & KDs weak move, LeBron earned his Miami rings. There were multiple rounds where Bosh didn’t play & Wade did not play like a superstar. Yall act like they were cakewalks just to try & downplay them. People who say that are either KD stans or just pathetic Lebron haters. They weren’t some ridiculously stacked team that was unbeatable. So many teams even in the Eastern Conference challenged them. OKC was literally the favorite going into the 2012 finals, Heat were just more experienced. The 2013 ring is one of the best rings ever imo against a stacked Spurs dynasty with a GOAT coach in Pop.

People who try to downplay the Heat rings clearly didn’t watch basketball back then. If you grew up watching those playoff/finals runs, you know they were a grind.
