Dwayne Wade is Better than Kobe Bryant

[RON ARTEST]

actually he is a decent defender right now and will only get better. in this sense he is definitely better than lebron, who has no D at all.

i never got to ask you this but why do you hate lebron so much? do you hate him as much as i hate wade because i cant stand how overdramatic he is when he falls down.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol..why do they always talk about wades flopping..i'd rather wade flop then jump in the crowd and beat up a fat guy

You've all been feeding off of the ESPN hype machine.

As much as I dislike Kobe for the way he carries himself and some of the off-court issues, he's still a better player on the court than Wade is. I can't believe that Wade wins one le, the national media is annointing him as the next Jordan and you guys are eating it up like this. If given the same opportunities, Kobe would have done the same things that Wade did in the Finals if not better. If Wade continues his play from the Finals into and through the next season, then it should be considered. But as it is now, and though it may not be by a large margin, Kobe is still the better player.

Well, Kobe did outscore your whole team. Wade just made them his for four straight.

[1Parker1]

Didn't Kobe outsocre the same Mavs team 63-62 after three quarters all on his own?

Way to bring nothing to the conversation at hand.

This from the guy who says Kobe's better because he won a le with a more healthy, younger, more dominant Shaq and far better role players.

Besides, you aren't here for the conversation anyway.

Kobe has the better all around package. He's a streaky 3 point shooter ... but when he gets going he can rain them down like he's the best 3 pt shooter in the league. Wade is more of a slasher/midrange player while Kobe is a slasher/midrange/3 pt threat + he gives you an all nba level of defense (when he feels like it)

i like wade, but if we are choosing for our own teams id say kobe when he was in his 3rd yr.

[Holmes_Fans]

When dwade shows he can be good without shaq like kobe has, then you can make the comparison..

based on what? wade has out performed kobe at this point of his respective career. compare kobes 19.9 ppg and 3.8 apg to wades 27.2 ppg and 6.7 apg and winning the le and i would have to go with wade easily.

dude shaq is on the decline. he is hardly a s of the dominant player he was when he was by kobe's side. get real. dwayne alone brought his club back from the brink of elimination being down 0-2. hes a stud and if you deny it then you know nothing about basketball

[jman3000]

Wade is 24 in his 3rd year. Kobe was maybe 21. I don't think it's fair to compare them based on # of years they've been in the league. Compare their stats when they were both 24 and tell me whose stats are more impressive.

[mabber]

im glad that is all because its a very dumb thing to say. your name shouldnt be obstructed view it should be re ed view. hopefully you are joking.

[Holmes_Fans]

There is no way in the heat win the championship without Shaq. If he had been injured before the playoffs or even before the season and was out, the heat wouldn't of made it passed detroit if even making it to them.

I couldn't have said it any better, and I'm a much bigger fan of Wade than I am of Kobe.

Better all around package my ass, he has yet to figure out how to be a team player, and I doubt he ever will. Team play is way more important than 3-point shooting. Plus, even though Kobe has more range he also settles for way too many outside shots, he shoots too many 3's and outside jumpers. Wade is a better player, Kobe is a better scorer.

actually, even with this perspective wade has more than held his own. at 24 kobe averaged 30 ppg and 5.9 apg in 41.5 mins compared to wades 27.2 and 6.7 in 37.9 mins i would still stick with wade

Can you imagine how many more assists Wade would have if he had Shaq on his team in his prime???????

[mabber]

I'd take Kobe if I were putting together a team for next season and I'd take Wade if I were putting together a team for the next 10 years. All Wade is lacking is a little better defense, maybe a little better long range jumper and to perfect a fadeaway shot. He won't last long in this league playing like he does. Jordan & Kobe both realized that and perfected the fadeaway out of preservation and I'm sure Wade will as well.

[Winnipeg_Spur]

No question in my mind. Wade just got done carrying his team to a championship, so he's the best player in the league, at least right now. You play to win the game and that's what Wade did.

vbookie on why bakrid has such an at ude problem?

[strikemode14]

Wade unlike Kobe would be happy scoring 10 points if it means his team wins the game. Wade unlike Kobe will not stop scoring to prove a point.

Yeah you are right. Kobe would be unhappy scoring 10 points...You know why becuase that meant it was a 30 pt blowout and Phil just pulls Kobe out for the second half.

Kobe in the Suns series sacrificed his offense for the good of the team. As for Kobe not scoring in game 7 it was part of Phil's plan to get everyone involved.
