Wade vs Kobe: Who's better?

[ISO]

That's irrelevant, typical Kobe stan enamored with regular season volume scoring.

Kobe just had more longevity, prime/peak Wade is the better player.

Stop it.

Wade probably couldn’t score 50 4 games in a row but he does have 4 seasons shooting 50% from the field. How many does Kobe have?

Kobe was a perimeter player

Wade was a slasher who shot closer to the basket

You gotta understand how shooting works. Ray Allen is a career 45% shooter, he was a perimeter player. Shooting 45% as a perimeter player is equivalent to a slasher shooting 50%. Even a 45% perimeter shooter serves as a threat to spread the floor.

Why do ppl lack this context?

Wade was a GREAT player. He just wasn’t as dominant as Kobe.

I've only seen this argument on this site. Its not even a debate in real circles, Kobe was better period.

Uh...no...

Shooting 45 percent from the field..means you shot 45 percent from the field...

Now if you wanna factor in 3 point shooting, you'll use eFG...which takes into account the volume and distance of 3 point shots...

Ray Allen's eFG is higher than Kobe's and Wade's eFG is higher than Kobe's

Kobe just had shyt shot selection and Wade was even more dominate than Kobe because Wade was actually a good defensive player...

While Kobe only played defense like for the first 5 years of his career and then skated by on reputation...

Wade had 3 seasons of PER at 28 or above..

Kobe has one...

Wade was simply a more efficient and more productive player than Kobe throughout his career...

Not true....plenty of people think Wade was a better player than Kobe

Name someone with credibility that thinks this


IRL, nikkas will rank AI over Wade

Beat me to it. Wade’s bad knee shaved a good 2-3 seasons off his prime. He was better at both ends going peak for peak. Got to the line just as much if not more during their primes, was a more disruptive defender, and was much more efficient from the field while keeping his teammates involved more, but they were both done as elite shooting guards after 2012-13 while Wade was 4 years younger. He had an unfortunate tendency to get injured at the worst possible times too. Game 5 of the 2005 eastern finals, game 5 of the 2011 finals, and was hurt through the playoffs in 2012-14. That’s where bean overtakes him. The level he played at from 1999-2000 through 2012-13 didn’t see the same peak, but was 5 whole seasons longer than Wade’s, which started in 2004-05 and he wasn’t dealing with injuries as frequently during the playoffs. Over a 10 year span, I’ll take Wade. If it’s 15 years, I’ll go with Kobe.

You must be like 15 or some shyt. No way in hell you can watch both careers and come to this conclusion

 

[Draje]

Some of y’all nikkas don’t know how to evaluate the game

Kobe had a better J, post game, footwork, man to man defense, mid-range game, range overall, scoring ability

Wade was a better off ball defender, driver, passer, and he was more athletic

Wade could never score 50 four games in a row

You spread out Kobe’s strengths (Instead of just saying he’s a better shooter, you say he’s but try to consolidate Wade’s.

Wade was a better slasher, finisher at the rim, better passer, a more dynamic playmaker, pick and roll player, has better vision, a better off-ball defender, better shot-blocker, weakside defender, and more athletic.

I think Kobe is better overall player but you ain’t slick

 

[AlainLocke]

Who had the higher PER, TS, and BPM in their prime

Wade even got better playoff stats than Kobe...

Kobe is overrated as a basketball player because of rings...

I could name 10 perimeter players that are better than him...

The fact that people will rank AI over Wade shows how stupid people are when it comes to objectively grading athletes...

AI is my favorite player of all time but he ain't even top 25 of all time...

Probably not even top 50...
