Kobe or Wade?

Who you taking and why?

[J Shuttlesworth]

Wade peak
Kobe overall

Kobe

He can get the job done with Pau Gasol

Wade can only get the job done when teaming up with Shaq or LeBron

Peak - Wade
Overall - Kobe

I'm a Laker fan and Kobe is one of my favorites but I'd take 2009 Wade over any version of Kobe.

[Akrazotile]

It's a very tough choice because they both make excellent Robins.

Neither can quite lead a team past the first round without a HOF teammate. But they are still darn good basketball players.

In the end, I think Wade plays better defense so if I had to start a team with a second option, which is the ideal scenario for these two players, I would go with Wade.

If you feel that way as a Laker fan then you must understand how bad of a collusion it was when LeBron left for Wade's team

Leave it to the sophomore in high school to make the analysis

Anyway...Kobe had a much more fortunate situation in the early part of his career.

Wade winning a ring in 06 kinda shows that he was on that level. Give him a prime shaq and he probably wins a lot more.

Injuries took a toll on him after 2012 or so but peak/prime Wade was every bit as good.

Kobe had the better career obviously. But Wade stressed the defense in ways that Kobe didn't. And he was a better playmaker.

You have bad reading comprehension

09 Wade is better than any version of Kobe.
But as for an entire career I'm choosing Kobe by a considerable margin.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Wade won in 06 with much less help than Kobe had in 09/10. Gasol put up 18/11 .556 TS while Shaq was putting up 13/10 on .532 TS. Wade outscored Shaq by 21 ****ing points per game

Check out the massive game score difference between Wade/Shaq:


Kobe/Gasol were basically equal:

Who was Wade's HOF teammate in 2004? Caron Butler? Lamar Odom?
