Kobe never had a classic playoff run like 06 wade (he torched one the best defensive all time teams for 60% accuracy)Or even 05 wade , the one time Kobe could of had a classic series he threw it away to the Phoenix sun up 3-1 I believe ....

Kobe's jumper.
Period. Point blank. End of story.
I don't even like Kobe all that much.

Wade at his very best was a better NBA player than Kobe at his very best.
More well rounded and dynamic.
Bettee defender as well.

You just named 2 seasons out of 20. Kobe's prime ran damn near twice as long as Wade's. Thats why he's above him he played at a higher level for a longer period of time.Kobe never had a classic playoff run like 06 wade (he torched one the best defensive all time teams for 60% accuracy)Or even 05 wade , the one time Kobe could of had a classic series he threw it away to the Phoenix sun up 3-1 I believe ....

The whole it’s not close thing is false. It’s close
Unless you’re talking about impact on basketball culture, it’s close .
The distance between wade and Kobe is a lot smaller than the distance between lebron and Kobe

Kobe ain’t get poppin till the 2000 and his last couple years since like ‘11 we’re down years. He also had a couple down years when Shaq left..
Wade did enough after too I’m just naming classic stand alone moments like game winning blocks stuff(who is rare from a guard) or game winning steals ..
Yea alright. If Bron didnt punk out against the Mavs and Wade had gotten that 2nd finals MVP it could've been close.
I’ll give it to Kobe for having the longevity.
But I think if you held it down to like, 5 year peak vs 5 year peak...it’s very close. And Wade may come out on top.
The titles argument does not interest me.
Kobe was certainly flashier. And that is something most of the casual fans can identify.

Kobe doesn’t have a single better finals performance than 06 Wade (year 3 at that), nor does he have a better single season than 09 Wade
I say this as someone who ranks Kobe over him
But it ain’t THAT Far apart unless you’re talking about impact on basketball culture.

So we just going off eyetests now? Nevermind actual evidence. If we omit the stats then u could easily put AI over Wade the same way
Wade himself said Goatbe was better

Just asking a question fam...My opinion isn’t included in here at all. I just find it interesting how so many stats are overwhelmingly in Wade’s favor yet most people have Kobe leaps and bounds better.

Someone is letting the opening hour of the Lebatard show influence their thread making. What makes Kobe better? He wouldn't have needed a fukkin wheelchair for a separated shoulder
Again, I started off in this thread saying I'd take Wade's best season against Kobe's best individual season and feel good about my chances. But a career comparison cant be broken down to just 1 year. Kobe was a better player for a longer period of time, thats a snapple top fact.
