INDIANAPOLIS -- Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade believes that no matter how many different things LeBron James accomplishes in his career, trying to surpass Michael Jordans legacy is a fools errand.No, its not possible, Wade told ESPN with a laugh. Its not possible.Wade?is in a unique position within the context of the comparisons between James and Jordan. He won two of his three NBA championships playing alongside James -- one of his closest friends -- with the Miami Heat.?As a kid growing up in the Chicago area, Wade was a Bulls fan and watched Jordan rack up six championships, earning the respect of millions around the globe.The only thing you can do is tie it, Wade said. Theres no 19th hole.The golf reference came about after Wade was reminded of a 2012 interview with ESPN in which he used a golf analogy to compare James to Jordan.I dont know if [James] has the ability to surpass him or not, Wade said at the time.?Thats yet to be seen. My version as LeBron being on par with Michael is this: Theyre both on the golf course. Michaels on the 18th hole; LeBron is somewhere on like the fourth hole. Hes got a long way to go, but hes on par to get to the 18th hole.I think everyone knows that [James] is a phenomenal, phenomenal player. Hes one that we havent seen, with the makeup of a 6-8 guy who runs as fast as any point guard, jumps as high as any center, and has the ability that he has to do so many things. But Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time, thats who everyone shoots for. So its going to be hard to surpass that.Four years later, Wades stance hasnt changed much.I think last year -- not only in my eyes, but in a lot of peoples eyes -- really put him ... hes on the 15th hole right now, Wade said of James. And hes on his way, for sure.Wade said he and James havent discussed the comparisons to Jordans legacy, but Wades sentiments match up with comments James has made in terms of how he is perceived among the games greats.My motivation, James told Sports Illustrated over the summer, after winning his third title, is this ghost Im chasing. The ghost played in Chicago.Wade wore a big smile as he entertained the comparison questions.You cant go past it, Wade said of Jordans legacy. How can you? Thats as great as it gets, man. The only thing you can do, like I said, is be A-1, A-B. Theres no way higher. Kevin Durant Shoes Outlet . Houston won 3-0 to advance to face New York in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Shane Mumford has apologised to Sydney star Lance Franklin for the Giants ruckmans sledge during Saturdays AFL qualifying final.Mumford said he rang Franklin, admitting that it was a poor choice of words, and added that the Swans spearhead had taken his apology on board.Mumford is said to have taunted Franklin with good to see youre not on holidays this year - an obvious reference to the star Swans forward missing last years finals series because of a serious mental health issue.I just gave him a phone call to apologise if Ive over-stepped the line (and) hes taken my apology on board, Mumford told the Giants website.Obviously with mental health being such a serious issue, it (was) really not a good choice of words.Hes happy to move forward from where we are now.Earlier on Tuesday, Swans midfielder Dan Hannebery said Franklin did not want the controversy surrounding Mumfords sledge to go any further.Ive spoken to Buddy briefly ... he sort of wants it to be done with, Hannebery said.You encourage people to come out and speak of mental health. Its a serious issue and is something as a footy club, and that the AFL, want to encourage people (to) get help.It hasnt really been spoken too much amongst the playing group, but personally I wouldnt go there.Asked if his old teammate Mumford had crossed a line with his alleged sledge of Franklin, Hannebery said: I wouldnt do it, Im not going to say whether he crossed the line.ddddddddddddIts not something I believe is the right thing to do especially when someone shows the courage to speak up about an issue, something that is very serious so therefore I wouldnt go there.Hanneberys teammate and midfield colleague Josh Kennedy was reported as saying sledging the Giants Lachie Whitfield, over an AFL investigation into an allegation he evaded a drug test, wasnt off limits.Theres too much stuff going on to worry about sledging Lachie, Hannebery said.He was able to shed some humorous light on sledging, a practice he doesnt find time to indulge in during a game.Theres so much going on around you, youve got so many other things to focus on in terms of the way were playing, the way the opposition are playing, Hannebery said.Me personally, I havent got any time. I havent got the IQ to start sledging blokes but certainly theres a lot of guys out there, (doing it) he said.(Giants back) Heath Shaw is actually one of the best. Hes actually quite amusing to listen to out there.He said a few funny things on the weekend, but everyone is different.My thing is to worry about what were doing. ' ' '
