objectively speaking, did kobe really.....

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Oh ok.

Yeah.

I do think 2008 Bean > 2011 Wade, but 2006 is definitely close.

I don't read too much into player quotes, but I read somewhere that following the Heat championship in 2006, Mourning claimed Kobe was "still the better player" and "MVP of this league".

Again I don't put alot of stock into it, but it's still interesting nonetheless.

[ISHGoat]

No he didn't. He doesn't even have the best peak of a shooting guard of his own era...Wade does. Whether single year, Wade's 2009 is > than any of Kobe's, and for a 2-3 year period he was better than Kobe ever was in 2009-2011.

this.

09 wade > any season kobe ever had

[Jacks3]

Kobe 09 was very widely regarded as the #2 player in the league and the best SG in the league. Wade certainly has a great case, but so does Bryant, and it was nowhere near the clear-cut consensus that Wade was better. I have no idea what's so funny.

Zo did say that...IIRC he said Kobe is still the best in the world.

Wade's Regular Season was easily better.

[STATUTORY]

Wade's Regular Season was easily better.

and it's not even close right?

so sad that kids type so much bulllshit on this forum that they start believing it

Dwyane Wade 2009
30-8-5 on 49% FG, 32% 3P, 1.3 bpg, 2.2 spg, 3.4 topg

Kobe Bryant 2009
27-5-5 on 47% FG, 35% 3P, .5 bpg, 1.5 spg, 2.6 topg

Now post their playoff stats.

[dontgetchoked]

Now post their playoff stats.

wade 29.1/5.0/5.3/0.9stl/1.6blk 44/36/86 in 7 games

kobe 30.2/5.3/5.5/1.7/0.9 46/35/88 in 23 games

[TheMarkMadsen]

Gotta love the double standard

06 & 07 Kobe get brought down because he lost in the first round while 09 Wade is on some type of Untouchable goat tier.

Same as always, constantly moving the goal post to discredit Kobe.

If we are being honest 01 playoff Kobe > any version of Wade.

[buddha]

lol the year the Heat only won 43 games? lmao

Kobe's 06 >>>

35/5/5 is a legendary peak. McGrady came close with 32/6/5 but 3 points more per game is 3 points more per game.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

wade 29.1/5.0/5.3/0.9stl/1.6blk 44/36/86 in 7 games

kobe 30.2/5.3/5.5/1.7/0.9 46/35/88 in 23 games

So when we factor in that Kobe had better numbers, in the playoffs, while also leading HIS team to a championship...how exactly is 2009 Wade greater than 2009 Kobe? And more importantly Kobe at the peak of his powers?

[Wade's Rings]

and it's not even close right?

Regular Season wasn't close IMO....Kobe had the better PostSeason though.

Who has a double standard? Wade's 2009 Regular Season > Kobe's 2006 Regular Season IMO...I only mentioned Playoffs as a response to Kuniva and even then I never said 2009 Wade > 2009 Kobe factoring in Playoffs

So how are 2008 Kobe & 2006 Wade close if 1 Guy won and the other didn't?
