Iverson got blackball for wanting the same respect Kobe is getting right now.

Wade's best season > Kobe's best

Kobe's more durable and he had a longer prime but I'd take 08-09 Wade over any version of Kobe to build around.

That playmaking, slashing, efficiency, clutch, and all around ability was only second to LeMiami...:blessed:

Dude was shredding up top tier defenses, in the playoffs, with a bunch of bums lmao

Only LeGawd and Durant have had better seasons than D Gawd's prime (As far as perimeter players).

That's fine and all that but no one is taking Wade over Kobe

lol nikka talmbout act like AI is on Kobe level :martin: Iverson right behind him and MJ

AI should've been on those Larry Brown /Bobcats teams.....

Imagine thinking AI has had half the success of Wade who was leading his team to championship rings in a fraction of the time.

AI wishes his best season was anywhere near Wade's lmao

They even had similarly designed teams (Solid defenders designed to help the star conserve his energy and be the offense) but I'd argue that Mutumbo is MUCH better than the likes of Beasley.

Wade's best season >= Kobe's best

In their prime, they were pretty much equal threats. Kobe is a better shooter and more versatile scorer overall. Wade was a better slasher, playmaker, and finisher at the rim. The difference between them is minute.

Kobe's biggest strength over Wade is his longevity (Same reason I'd put Timmy over Shaq) but anyone who saw 2009 Wade will tell you he was in that same class as Lebron and Wade as the franchise changing perimeter players. Wade was doing Westbrook shyt like it was nothing.,

I have seen wade in 09. Still not taking him over a prime Kobe Bryant the 2nd best SG of all time. No matter how u slice it that's the end result. MJ>Kobe>Wade :yeshrug:

What respect is Kobe getting? He is literally getting trashed by every media possible. If you mean by the Lakers, well he helped them sell bunch of tickets and got em 5 rings. He still is the main reason for them selling gear, tv deal..etc. AI was traded to several teams, and did end up getting a nice send off by Philly but they already traded him before so you know they are not as loyal as Lakers.
