I see a case for wade because of the 2nd option thing, but Kobe Nah?
I'm just saying. People will consider it.
I'd probably have Kobe on 1st, Harden on 2nd, and Wade on 3rd.

Where did I knock Wade for playing with LeBron?
Him being a talented superstar with other superstars won him a championship. Both times.
None of this has anything to do with who is having the better season though.
I just don't see how anyone can go with Wade over Kobe besides team record.
I honestly think Wade might be on the All-NBA 3rd team just like he was last year despite the Heat's record.
It will be interesting to see how he and Harden are placed.
Hell, there are a few people who will make the case for Harden over Wade and Kobe.
So.....your basketball eyes tell you that Dwyane Wade is better than Kobe Bryant?
Forget the stats, FG%, what teams they play on, who they have on the roster, all that extra stuff.
Just off of purely watching the game of basketball, taking whatever knowledge you believe yourself to have when it comes to the NBA.......do you believe that Dwyane Wade is a better individual basketball player than Kobe Bryant?
Like others have said, the fact that you made this thread and one is in his 17th season and the other his 10th season says a lot. Oh, not to mention the 17th season player has better stats.
Neither has other HOFers...........and?
Kobe Bryant is the better basketball player and if you compare Kobe Bryant in his prime to Dwyane Wade in his prime, there's no comparision between the two.
It's crazy to me that Dwyane Wade has not clearly taken the role of the best SG in the NBA from Kobe and Kobe is playing in his 17th season![]()
You advanced stats nerds disgust me
at shooting 26% from 3
I don't see the argument for wade.
Wade 21/5/5 on a 57% TS
Kobe 27/6/5 on a 57%TS
Similar efficiency despite the fact Wade is playing with Lebron
Wade also has a higher PER and WS/48. Offensively it's close but Wade has slightly less raw totals because he takes less attempts.
So I think offense is a wash. Wade is more quality, but Kobe's quantity makes it close.
However, Wade is a cog in a great defense. Kobe's not a very good defender at this stage either. So that's a part of it too.
