Dwayne Wade is 33 and is sitting on 17,000 points

[GrapeApe]

He's averaging 24ppg on 49% for his career. It doesn't take a math expert to figure out he's played significantly fewer minutes than Kobe. Hold that against if you want, that's fine, but this thread is stupid.

Losing in the playoffs.

swept and locked down by old azz Jkidd

Lol, this thread's getting brought up now every time the Big 3 Heat are considered "stacked", especially if it's done by those in the thread ripping on Wade

[tpols]

He's also sitting on a record that's 1 game under .500 while Bean... well...

He's also played a much softer schedule with a better second option in Bosh... On top of missing a bunch of games due to injury (surprise surprise).

Losing in the playoffs.

OP is wrong. Wade is actually 32. Kobe was 32 when he led his team to his 5th title if I'm not mistaken.

And he's only in his 12th season. Kobe was the best player in the world in his 12th season while Wade has been on the decline since his 10th season or so.

There's a reason why Kobe has like 15K more career points than Wade...far superior prime and longevity.

You know what Kobe was doing at that age?

Playing with a far better team and choking against the Thunder in the playoffs?

[Dresta]

"Prime Wade" is a myth. He had only 1 good superstar year

And look where he is on the playoff points list. Ahead of a 36 year old Dirk.

Didn't know aggregated regular season (i.e. second rate) points meant so much when appraising a player's career.

yeah lets get rid of this notion that a team with 3 all stars was stacked, the career point totals for one of those players is the nail in the coffin of that team being stacked for 4 years

Nope.

And Kobe was in his 20's while in his 12th season, so irrelevant.

so averaging 31/5/3/2 is and dropping 42 of 55% in the deciding game is choking..

okay

Nope, try again.

Why you hate Kobe so much Dada? He may be the one sponsoring the commercial you play an extra in someday.

You're mistaken.
