If anything, Wade and Bosh should get dinged for playing with Lebron. Bosh would likely never have a chip, and Wade would likely have finished his career 1-0 without Lebron...
While both had their moments, and eben understanding it was always Wade's team, I think it's clear that Lebron was the best player there. And it showed as he took a greater dominance in each of his four years there...

He pretty much single handedly won one of those early finals...I forget the exact year off the top of my head. Not dogging on Kobe, it was the year he missed a couple finals games with injury and it didn't matter because Shaq was putting up something like 40-17 with 60% shooting...insane.
The East never had an answer for Shaq in any of those Finals wins. In all likely hood, Kobe probably could have never played in those finals games and Lakers still would have won, especially against the Nets and Sixers as I recall. Not sure about the Pacers series because that one did go six games I think with Kobe having a big performance in one of them. Where Kobe's value always came into play was in the Western Conference Playoffs.

Last sentence rings true. The twin towers neutralized Shaq pretty well, but Kobe absolutely killed the Spurs in those early days.
