Where are the people that said Wade over Kobe?

[KOBE143]

Comparing Wade to Kobe, is a very disrespectful thing do for Kobe.. Kobe is in a different world than Wade.. Wade maybe a superstars in this generation but Kobe is a Legend, a top 5 player of all time at worst.. The only player who deserve to be compare to Kobe is non other than "his airness" Michael Jordan..

Wade played on one knee throughout the Playoffs and still had game that easily trumped any of Kobe's performances.

We talking about this year, bro.

Who's been better ?

I was respecting your opinions on this thread but this post of yours has made me lose all respect.

Comparing Wade to Kobe

Is pretty legit in my book.

Very well thought out post.

I wasn't really comparing Kobe to Wade because that would be downright disrespectful.

I was merely calling out all those who said this.

It's common knowledge that Wade isn't close to Kobe's level. Wade is just some superstar that's playing in Kobe's world. The likes of VC, Tmac, Iverson, Ray Allen and Wade and Lebron. Guys that come and go........

but the one CONSTANT.....Kobe Bryant.

Well obviously when you're consistently blowing teams out and have an MVP caliber teammate in LeBron, you don't need to be the number one scoring option and play a large amount of minutes.

It's strictly hypothetical as to whether or not he'd put 30/5/5 if he was the first option or played more minutes. The bottom line is, he doesn't put up 30/5/5. Not even close actually.

I'll stick to reality rather than hypothetical scenarios. And the reality is that Kobe is scoring more points on higher efficiency despite carrying a heavier offensive load.

It wasn't so much the case the first 2 seasons. They usually hindered each others play because of their similarity in styles.

They've been doing better this season because they have gotten more chemistry together now.

Disagree. They mesh very well together and did from the outlet.
Both players love to put pressure on the perimeter and run the ball. They've been doing that since their 10th game in the first season, or there abouts.

And OP, do you find it bizarre that the Lakers two wins have been the games where Kobe has played the least minutes?
It really is a sign that Meeks at this point is the better player and should be starting. The team is just better with him, and hes clutcher.

06 and 09 wade was better than any of kobe's seasons. but besides that, kobe had been better

09 is arguable but only thing that has even an argument over Kobe in regards to 06 is Wade's finals. That's it. 09 Wade was amazing but idk if "better" than "any" Kobe season, I think Kobe's 06-08 seasons all have individual arguments over Wade's. Great debate material though.

It's just funny how people think Wade is better than Kobe every year and he's not even close to the Mamba's level.

So people then resort the "if healthy" argument or how he would be better than Kobe.

It's like Kobe's never injured? Is he some bionic man? It's not fair Kobe is durable? Put Wade in Kobe's body?

This. And then they resort to the "well if he played the same minutes as Kobe he'd average 40-10-10" lol Dwight was supposed to be the best player on the Lakers but Kobe has been the one carrying them. Haters gonna hate

Lakers are playing Kobe in the post and letting him be the playmaker.

It comes as no surprise with this style of play will lead to blowouts and lessening Kobe's minutes. Which is a good idea with his mileage.

Comparing Wade to Kobe is a joke? What? Wade has had a season as good as anything Kobe has put up, and a MUCH better Finals performance than anything Kobe has put up. Kobe is a better scorer, and maybe that's about it. Everything else is easily arguable.

Insidehoops. Where shooting 56% as Kobe is more efficient than shooting 57% as Wade.

Debatable. But Wade also had a game that was easily WORSE than any of Kobe's performances...... You know, the 5 point game?

Kobe has been great as a playmaker so far. 4.3 turnovers a game and leading his team to 2 victories over powerhouses Golden State and Detroit.

Great assist to turnover ratio. 3.8 assists to 4.3 turnovers. That's prime John Stockton level.

Kobe is a better FT shooter and a much better 3PT shooter. FG% isn't the only thing that determines how efficient somebody is you know.
