2008-09 Dwyane Wade vs. 2005-06 Kobe Bryant

[DMAVS41]

Wade has always been in Kobe's rear-view mirror. The only year he was better was the 10-11 season (when Kobe was injured).

Wade was also clearly better in the 05 season.

Which is considered one of Kobe's worst seasons. Whoopty-****ing-doo.

Just correcting you. Could say the same thing about an injured Wade in 07 and 08.

I really don't care what you say because anyone remotely objective knows its been neck and neck since the 05 season. Acting like Kobe has done anything to elevate himself to a different level than Wade since then is hilarious.

But again....we all already know that.

Career-wise, it's really not close...Kobe is on a different level. Don't know how you could deny that.

And who is comparing them career wise at this point? We were debating since 05.

Career wise Kobe of course deserves to be ranked higher at this point.

Since 05, sure, I guess it's at least remotely close. But still...

05 - Wade
06 - Kobe
07 - Kobe
08 - Kobe
09 - Kobe
10 - Kobe
11 - Wade
12 - Kobe

Sure, disagree with that all you want, but I really don't feel like arguing in circles with you. Take it or leave it.

Well...I don't see how you can give Kobe 06 and 09 and 10...but whatever. I don't care either.

Everyone at all objective knows its been close.

What the f*ck makes Wade better than Kobe in 05, year he was banged up anyway?

How can you possibly give Kobe BOTH '09 and '06?

In '09 Wade had the superior statistical regular season, yet Kobe's team performed much better and won the championship. Whereas in '06 it was vice versa...Kobe had the superior statistical regular season, while Wade's team performed much better and won the championship (with Wade also dominating the Finals).

You can't give Kobe both without completely contradicting yourself.

I love how people completely disregard defense. Apparently when you compare players, PPG, FG% APG & RPG are the ONLY things that matter. Wade is obviously superior in the majority of these stats, but Kobe is still somehow better and "it's not even close". I can't see that.

For anyone who's not a biased homer/hater, it's obvious that this comparison is relatively close. I personally have Wade over Kobe, but if you tell me you have Kobe over Wade, I won't argue with that as long as you admit it's close. Which ever guy you have on top of the other, it's not a large gap by any means.

IMO Wade was better in 09 and 10
