Who's really having the better season Kobe or Wade?

[Malik]

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.

The fact that you have to pull out all these Advanced Calculus type stats to prove your point is

actually its called backing up a argument with valid points unlike just saying "but kobe scores more points a game i don't get it"

Kobe so far, wade didn't start the season off well, but since the allstar break, its been real close. I think wade has been better since the break. Nothing taking nothing away from kobe, but wade's resurgence has been one of the reasons of the Heat's streak.

According to PER in 2008 Amare was the 3rd best player in the league, Bosh was better than Duncan and Kobe, Carl Landry was better than Carmelo, Nash, and Iverson, and Caron Butler was better than Paul Pierce



According to Winshares Clyde drexler was better then Hakeem in the 1995 Playoffs

D'Antoni was asked what the cause was for the relative lack of ball movement late in the game.

"That's a good question," he said, sarcastically. "I wish I knew. What are you, going to throw me a piece of dynamite?"

and this is there coach

Don't knock what you don't understand. Unlike your opinion, the stats are objective measures of a player. The truth isn't seen before your eyes. A fair conclusion needs something to back it up.

The whole 'never played basketball thing' is a tactic to distract from the point, but the point remains.

Larry Bird's 1986 Playoff PER: 23.9
Magic Johnson's 1988 Playoff PER: 22.9
Pau Gasol's 2010 Playoff PER: 24.0

Pau Gasol > Prime Larry Bird & Prime Magic Johnson

Well, Clyde actually was pretty great.

But all you did with this useless exercise is find isolated examples without context to try to prove a point, but you don't actually explain why Kobe is better than Wade despite the measures used, or offer a better measure of performance.

Over a long sample size, the numbers even out, because you can find anomalies any given season.

Magic Johnson's 1988 Playoff PER: 22.9
Pau Gasol's 2010 Playoff PER: 24.0

Pau Gasol > Prime Larry Bird & Prime Magic Johnson

PER

Pau was really, really great in the 2010 playoffs. Like, super great. It's actually not laughable to think that he was as good as Bird or Magic for one single postseason. It's only 20 games or so.

But keep dodging the argument.
