LeBron. 2 MVP's, multiple All-NBA First Team selection, led a team with the worst supporting cast in NBA history to the Finals, never really been injured (where as Wae essentially missed the better part of 2 seasons), and since 2006 has been out of the first round every single season (where as Wade's been out of it only once, granted he won a championship that one year). Most importantly, at no time has Wade been regarded a better player by the masses. For the record I thought Wade was a better player the year he won a championship and the following year before the injury, but since LeBron developed a consistent jumper and defensive ability, he's been the better player.
