Monta Ellis and Dwyane Wade will forever be equals, at least in Ellis’ mind. The Bucks point guard who, it should be noted, has helped Milwaukee play to the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference, was asked to compare himself and the two-time champion Heat guard.

And yes Monta, 2 championships kind of matters. Just...
