Dwyane Wade says that LeBron James will never catch Michael Jordan as the best player the NBA has ever seen, but he couldn’t be more wrong

For four years LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were the dynamic duo in South Beach, Miami. They had endless highlight reels, and have two NBA Championship rings to show for it.

However, while they are still good friends, Wade doesn’t seem to think LeBron can surpass “His Airness”.

When asked if LeBron could pass MJ’s Legacy, Dwyane Wade laughed and said:

"“No, it’s not possible, It’s not possible. You can’t go past it, how can you? Thats a great as it gets, man. The only thing you can do is tie it. There is no 19th hole.”"

When referring to the 19th hole, Dwyane Wade is using golf as an analogy, as he did in an interview in 2012 when asked to compare Jordan and James.

When comparing these two, who are obviously two of the greatest basketball players to ever play, the argument for Jordan is that he has six NBA Championships where as LeBron only has three.

In attempt to settle this debate, lets first take a look at their resumes.
