Wade and LeBron aren't elite one on one defenders. They just aren't there at this stage of their career and that is why you would never allow them to guard a Kobe, Manu, Pierce, or Melo one on one without help behind them like you could allow those guys to guard them.
As long as you have that usertitle, I call you Baller
Why, I mean they gave Barkley the chance and he was a better and more important Sun than Steve Nash since he got his team to a Finals with less talent than Nash has ever been given before this year?
I agree with you about Gortat.
VC deserves what he has gotten. He had the talent to be the greatest wing of his generation and history will look back on him as being inferior to the guys who have played in the last decade with him in Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Manu, Rip, Reggie, Iverson, Melo, T-Mac, Pierce, Allen, and so on because he didn't have the heart to compete and try to be better than them.
He will just be remembered for his dunks in all honesty when compared to those others.
