It's seems so ridiculous looking back on it now, but there were actually some who doubted the effectiveness the duo would have considering both need the ball in their hands.
With an extremely slow start, Miami Heat critics basked in the teams early season struggles. At times the team looked something like the bizarro Harlem Globetrotters, missing on alley-oop dunks and crossover dribbling the ball off each others feet with regularity.
But as the season progressed, fans soon got what they expected, and detractors got what they feared: An unstoppable tandem that would learn to share the glory, instead of singularly dominating it.
And the two have managed to do so without any noticeable drops in their career averages.
For his career, Wade has averaged 25.4 points per game, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.4 assists. This season, 25.5, 6.4, and 4.6.
James career averages look something like 27.7 points per game, 7.1 rebounds, and 7 assists. This season, 26.7, 7.5, and 7.
Yes, all has worked out so far in the "experiment".
Take a look at Wade's top 10 plays of the season according to NBA.com. Number four is a particular favorite of mine. So "Jordan-esque".
