Wade was great that year, but come on. We've seen better.

'09 Wade was absolutely, at minimum, as good as '06 Kobe was. And I bet you'd find a good amount of people who would argue he was better

The advanced stats support Wade, but Kobe had higher win shares. Wade was a better help defender while Kobe was lockdown 1v1. Wade had a slightly better cast so he had higher assist %'s, Kobe was playing with literal trash outside of Lamar Odom.

And it's fine if you say '06 Kobe was better, I wouldn't even disagree with you. But to laugh at '09 Wade being compared to him is where I draw the line, they're absolutely on the same tier imo

Tbf, that was a shitty post. Wade was definitely in the same tier w/ LeBron and Kobe that year. It's a shame he had old Marion and rookie Beasley as his best players during his best year lol.

Wade that year was incredible....he was a one man show on both ends.

Unstoppable.

@ giving the edge to a guy who is a defensive liability.

The gap between Kobe and Curry defensively is MUCH wider than the non-existent gap between Curry and Kobe offensively.

What impact exactly did he have on the 73-9 Warriors. Falling down 1-3 vs the Thunder and needing Klay to bail him out? And then blowing a 3-1 lead to LeBron while playing putridly in the Finals?

Dude's only championship as "the man" came with an injured Kyrie/Love and with Iggy stealing the Finals MVP for him. Funny how that vaunted efficiency who displays in the regular season fails to materialize in the Finals and during crunch time of the playoffs...

Preposterous statement of the year nominee.

At least Curry was able to make the play offs in his prime.

Kobe?

[72-10]

Curry in a snow flurry.
