DWade might have been the best player in 06-07

Dirk doesn't have a case because he lost in the 1st round but Kobe does despite getting spanked in the 1st round as well that year

Kobe didn't lose to the Golden State Warriors, he lost to the 2nd best team in the Conference while averaging 32.8 ppg. Dirk averaged 19.7 ppg and lost to the #8 seed Baron Davis Warriors.

The Bean was a pretty inconsistent player in general. Definitely one of the best to ever do it but his shot selection didn’t lead itself to consistency.

45% shooting for his career and ~56-57%TS looks pretty consistent to me.

Pre "Heatles", Wade/Bron matchups were nice too.

That Golden State loss is waaaay more on Avery Johnson than Dirk. I've never seen somebody get so thoroughly out coached the way Nellie wrecked Avery. Their entire plan was double/triple Dirk and funnel the ball to Josh Howard and Jason Terry b/c Nellie knew those two were streaky scorers and mediocre at moving the ball to the open man. Then Avery did stupid ass shit like trashing his entire offensive and defensive philosophy to try to run and gun with the Warriors when the Mavs were the slowest paced team in the league that year. The idiot decided to start Devean ****ing George at center even though he hadn't played there the entire season for crying out loud.

I meant game to game. He was consistent on a yearly basis for sure. He would have games where he basically couldn’t miss and then follow with a game where he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. It all averaged out to his usual 45% FG and 56-57% TS like you said, though.

5 out of 7 Finals isn't consistency?

I guess you'll take 3/9.

Can you go a day without melting down about LeBron being better than your hero?

RRR3 must say meltdown like 9 times a day.

Coincidentally that's also the amount of times he has no rebuttal.

Because the thread title is specifically referencing a season in which Kobe was clearly the best player in the league...that's why.


I mean seriously dude, you're not even gonna give the guy credit for his prime?

The stats suggest Wade was better. That doesn’t mean it’s true but the fact that you guys act like no one else was remotely close to Kobe back then isn’t supported by data. But hey, at least he was better than LeBron that year and that’s all mamba fans care about.

What are you talking about? George played 60 games for the Mavs (started 17) and got 21 minutes per game lol...idk about playing him at center, but George only started 1 game in that series and played 18 minutes per.


It's hard to take your opinion on a topic seriously if your facts are so flawed...not saying you're wrong, but I'm sure you see my point here.

Except that Wade was clearly better than Kobe in 2007 so why would a Kohe stan bring kobe into the discussion?

[Smoke117]

ImKobrick trying to hijack another thread. Fukking Kobe stains.

[Mr Feeny]

Stats suggest that Wade played 26 less games and got swept by the Luol Deng Bulls.

And yet they suggest that he was much better than Kohe was.
