wade not making the first team is pathetic.. that truely shows how underrated he is.. rose doesn't do half the shit wade does.. and rose gets the mvp..

PER(2010-2011 season WITH LEBRON)

1. Durant

2. Lebron

3. Dwight

4. wade

5. Rose

6. Kobe

performance rankings overall(accounting everything, points,assists,blocks, rebounds,).. wade is ahead of both kobe and rose.. yet they get selected into the nba 1st team and wade gets placed with westbrooke.. that's disrespectful..heck if lebron wasn't playing with wade chances are the top two would have been lebron and wade..

sigh.. this is why the heat need to win so that crap sports media like espn can finally see what wade can do.. it's like 2006 never happened..

same thing in 08-09, Michael jordan was shocked wade didn't win the mvp when he was by far the best player that season..

I hope that you know that this statistic is misleading.  Derrick Rose plays on the perimeter when he is off of the ball being that he's the point guard and that he's only 6' 3".  This is why he wouldn't have many rebounds or blocked shots.  Also, Rose leads the league in percentage of points involved in scoring for his team if you factor in his scoring and assists.  Also, can you tell me why Rose is averaging more assists these playoffs than Lebron and Wade put together?  Wade does twice of what he does my butt...

Would you consider Isiah Thomas, Jerry West, or Steve Nash to not be great players because they didn't get a lot of rebounds or blocked shots?  I'm hoping that you know who Jerry West is.  He's the guy on the NBA logo.

I do remember 2006 and Shaq had a great year to help Dwyane out, didn't he?  What happened in 2007?

The only argument that you make that I might agree with is that Dwyane had a better year than Kobe and Kobe is living off his past accolades.  This does happen when you win five titles though.
