i would go with the player who has won the most...lebron 1 playoff appearance, dwayne wade 3, carmelo 3...wade 1 ring 0 for the other 2...but you are forgetting about a lot of other players, chris bosh...but out of the three mentioned definately wade.

Without a doubt right now it's Dwayne Wade. The guy basically carried the heat on his back to a NBA Championship against a better Dallas Mavericks team last year and with Shaq only playing in 14 games this year, D Wade has kept the Heat in the playoff hunt. Miami is 25 - 20 in games Wade played and 1 - 6 in games he missed. As for the Cavs, they were 50 - 32 last year and are on pace to win only 47 games this year in a terrible Eastern Conference, so with the same, if not slightly improved team from last years, LeBron has not found a way to take the Cavs to the next level this year in a very weak Eastern Conference. As for Carmelo, he was really on his way this year before the incident at MSG and it's going to take a big second half to make up for the time lost and to prove just how much he's worth to the Denver Nuggets. But hands down, D Wade has proved he can win, he plays hard every night and he's a leader, and for those reasons he's the best of the Big 3.

If i were to choose a player , theres no doubt in my mind that id take dwane wade. Dwane wade makes it count when it matters most in the 4th quarter. Not taking anything away from james or mello but d wade is the best choice

This is a no-brainer....Lebron James. I am not discrediting Anthony or Wayde but look at what James has surrounding him. Gooden, Ilgauskas and a flashy player who can't seem to stay healthy (Hughes) ? Lebron is single-handedly carrying that team, averaging close to a triple double on most nights. I think all 3 players are sensational but Lebron James has been the best player drafted in 2003

I would take Lebron today just like I would have in 2003! All three players have great skill but Lebron makes his teammates better. He took an average team deep into the playoffs last year.

chris bosh hes big and has good numbers what a steal for the raptors oh milic sucks

this is tough to answer just because all of their circumstances are so different, and all are pretty darn excellent. lebron was definitely drafted by the worst of the 3 teams and is gonna take them to the playoffs for the 2nd straight yr, which is impressive, even if the east stinks. The problem with lebron is that it seems like he has leveled off this yr and hasnt improved from last year. it is also unfair to blame lebron's teammates for his lack of success. if kobe had a frontcourt of ilgauskas, varejao and gooden they would win 60 games this yr. they cant find lebron a good backcourt mate because hes a guard/forward who likes to bring the ball up the court. i would probably put melo #3 in this bunch. my knocks on melo are that he has yet to lead his team to more than 1 playoff win a year (losing 4-1 in the 1st round 3 straight yrs), and doesnt really make his teammates better, hes a prolific scorer and grabs a few boards a game, but im not sure he has "it" like lebron or dwade, and im not sure he could coexist with another superstar(ask a.i.), which means the nuggets are bound for perennial mediocrity in the powerhouse western conference. that being said, if the nuggets were in the east theyd be a top 4 team (lets also not forget his girly "hit and run" incident at the garden, when he sucker punched mardy collins and scurried away). dwade has probably improved the most since he came into the league, and it shows in his stats, which have improved pretty significantly every yr in the league, and people dont realize he averages 8 boards and 5 assists a game to go with his 29 points. oh, and he has a title under his belt. when it comes to DWade, you have to acknowledge the 330 pound elephant in the room, a.k.a. Shaq, who seems to be in the NBA finals every year (6 since '94). how much of his success is due to the attention opposing defenses give to shaq? i dont think that question can be answered until shaq retires in a few years, which will coincide with wade hitting his prime. the heat role players and depth are also a lot better than the other 2 clubs discussed, making dwade's job easier. all that being said, the winner and best player to come out of the 2003 draft is...... before i get to that, i just want to say that its unfair that bosh is totally ignored in this conversation, because that kid is solid and also puts up rediculous numbers across the board (he shoots a better 3 pt. % than the other 3 guys). aright, back to the topic at hand. im taking lebron out of all those guys, because from a basketball standpoint id rank him and dwade equal, but lebrons 22 and dwades 25. all things being pretty much equal, ill take the extra 3 years (and seeing the way dwade leaves it all on the court, there is no way his career will be as long as lebrons).

Silly question! Who has a Ring? WADE!!!

I guess that reading the comments of other people usually gives you an idea of which way to go but it also gives you alot to pick at also. One that I read said that because Carmelo Anthony leads the league in scoring it is easiest for him to score. Well true and also not true. He is talented no doubt, but of the three LeBron James is the best with the littlest help. Dwayne Wade is great also, but he has a supporting cast. And as far as Melo goes, he has the best supporting cast of all and since the Iverson trade things really haven't gotten any better for the Nuggets. I say LeBron again because he is the all around player and those stats cannot be disputed...

the fact that dwade has a ring is not a legitimate reason to flat out say he is the best of the 3. the fact that Dwade has a ring is one persuasive piece of the puzzle, but last time i checked basketball is a team sport. robert horry has won 6 rings, but would you say that he is better than his 1992 draft class mate shaq? of course not, so why would you base an entire argument on the fact that Dwade has 1 ring, ignoring the fact that he was on a good team as well.

i just watched drnuggets video as to why melo was the best player of the three. while id say that the international basketball info was interesting and overall a good perspective, i just have to say that telling ppl that melo averages "a little less than 10 rebounds a game" is just flat out misleading. the highest melo has ever averaged in a season when it comes to rebounds is 6.1. if that is a little less than 10 a game, than you can say lebron averages a little less than 45 points a game.

D wade is the best then lebron then carmelo wade won the ship last year and not with shaq doin most the work either people leron and carmelo ar better but who has the ring on his finger and what else theyll win again this year with him comin back from his injury even not a 100%!!!!!!!

it has to be between lebron and d-wade, and u gotta go with wade, i still have yet to see lebron play defense, not to mention he's shooting under 70% from the foul line

Melo's a lilttle soft- dwade can't defend the BIGGER gaurds- Labron is like a present Magic Johnson. Im going with LABRON on that one

LEBRON no question
