Several years ago, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade made up one of the better duos in NBA history. Together, they took the Miami Heat to four straight NBA Finals and back-to-back championships.
Former NBA superstar Tracy McGrady, however, recently said that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the Brooklyn Nets’ outstanding tandem, are more skilled than James and Wade.
One would expect the latter two to have a problem with that statement.
However, Wade seemed to agree with McGrady, who himself was ridiculously skilled in his day, and so did James.
Of course, these days, James has been teamed up on the Los Angeles Lakers with one of the NBA’s most-skilled players at both ends of the floor in Anthony Davis.
I see no lie told! They are 2 of the most skilled players of ALL-TIME

Durant and Irving haven’t taken the Nets to the Eastern Conference Finals yet, but it may simply be a matter of time before they will.
Lakers fans are perhaps dreaming of a championship series matchup between those two and L.A.’s duo of James and Davis some time in the near future.
If the Lakers manage to execute a Russell Westbrook trade that brings them back some decent talent, maybe it will happen.
