Although Kobe was a bit better overall, Wade had a span that is even crazier than Kobe's 62 point / 81 point span. Wade in that span I'm talking about;
13 games 37.2 ppg 5.9 rpg 10.4 apg 2.9 spg 1.4 bpg .553 fg .419 3pt .865 ft

While that play is great and a rare feat, it's not numbers we haven't seen before ( MJ 91 finals comes to mind)

Kobe as a shooting guard was puttin up numbers that hadnt been seen since Wilt

This. Kobe hasn't really played defense since around 2003. Sure, you'll see it here and there for a game or two, but this guy has been halfassin it on D for a decade.

The two SG's whose games are ultimately the two halves that form Michael Jordan. I'd say 2006 Kobe, and 2009 Wade are equal. Kobe's impressive for insane volume, binge scoring, dragging a terrible cast through a difficult conference. And Wade was a beast all around, putting up 30 ppg and 8 apg dragging an equally terrible team to the playoffs.

Tough choice. Very tough!
Both with awful teammates. I mean Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, George, Mihm(?)... if Im not mistaken on one side, and two rookies, Chalmers and Beasley in the first team of the Heat. Only Odom and Marion were above average players on those teams.
It was 1 vs 5 in 80% of games for them, and what they did in those seasons was Jordanesque. It just makes me sick that the prime years of both players were with such awful teammates.

I remember so many games from both players in those years. It was pure classic. Its just to hard to name the better player. Its even for me.

And yeah, I would give them both the MVP in those seasons. **** the team record. They were unbelievable.

Lol, it's not even close. Kobe is much better. 2009 Wade was more like 2003 Kobe...and 2006 Kobe is much better than 2003 Kobe. Not even close.
2006-2010 Kobe is easily better than 2009 Wade. Especially 2006 Kobe.

How underrated is Kobe here, geez.

12-13-2013, 09:28 PM
How do you guys feel Scottie Pippens 95 season compares to Wades and Bryants? Mind you before Jordans return.

Stats? Historically, what Pippen did in 95 has only been done four other times when he led the Bulls in the five major categories pts, rebs, asts, stls, blks. In fact, its more rare than avg 35+ pts for a season. He also led the league in defensive rating. A league with such great defensive centers as Olajuwan, Mourning, Mutombo, and Robinson

The Bulls record was basically the same as the Heats and Lakers.

And unlike Kobe and Wade, Pippen was also the Bulls defensive anchor. Anchoring the number two defense in the league.

All threes second best players were roughly on the same level. Odom, Beasley and Kukoc.

moe94

When will people just accept that prime Wade was simply a better player than prime Kobe?

Now that Wade has 3 championships, Kobe stans can't just rely on Kobe's overwhelming 5to1 ring count. 3to5 is close enough to give more weight to who the better player was.

I'm interested to know how you rank Kobe's best 5 seasons...because to me Kobe was absolutely great in 09.

Played every single game. Led his team to 65 wins and the title...I mean he didn't defend as hard as he did in 08, but I think 09 was definitely one of Kobe's best seasons.

No he's not. He's rated exactly where he should be.

He put up good numbers on shitty teams his entire career until he joined the a lakers. Lamar never lived up to the potential that his skill set and size set for him. He was always good at everything but not good enough at one thing to reall make a significant impact on a team as a first or second option

On top of that the dude was just too inconsistent to be seriously relied on as a 2nd option, and I'm talking defensively, not jus offensively.

He was a good 2nd option for a Lakers team that was pure garbage outside of Kobe & Lamar. Lamar was forced into being a 2nd option, and he performed well, however his stats were mis leading in terms of impact. He jus wasnt consistent enough throughout games.

Which is why he made the perfect 3rd option in 09 & 10. He wasn't asked to do more than he was comfortable with. He was put in a role that protected him, he only had to be a playmaker in short spurts, he was excellent at passing from the top of the key which made him perfect for the triangle.

So yeah Odom is rated exactly where he should be, a good all around player that shined in the triangle when his responsibilities were limited. Never a guy that could lead a team and never a legit second option, never an all star but a quality all around player who was very important in 2 championship runs.

Underrated would be the career of Shawn Mario. Multiple time all star,
Was one of the best defenders in the league for years, good offensively, played a big role on this Suns teams and played a huge role defensively for a championship team where he was given the task (as an older veteran) of guarding a prime Lebron James in the finals and did a tremendous job at that

You can look on nba.com or some other sites for it. In the regular season for the last five minutes with a 5 point difference, ahead or behind:

2009 Wade: 4.4 ppg, 47%. 2.9 FGA. 45 games in that type of situation. Lead the league in points in this specific category, but I don't think he lead in 4th quarter scoring.
http://stats.nba.com/leaguePlayerClutch.html?pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&Season=2008-09&sortField=PTS&sortOrder=DES


2006 Kobe: 4.2 ppg, 36.4%. 3.3 FGA. 40 games in that type of situation.
http://stats.nba.com/leaguePlayerClutch.html?pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&Season=2005-06&sortField=PTS&sortOrder=DES


Kobe didn't shoot that badly in other years btw (kobe fans/haters). And I don't know how many game winners that they had. I would have to look that up later.

You can also find out old Michael Jordan stats when he was with the Bulls too. It goes all the way back until 1997.

So...doing the work for lazy ppl:

Michael Jordan 1997: 3.9 ppg, 39.5%. 2.7 FGA. 30 games in that type of situation.
http://stats.nba.com/leaguePlayerClutch.html?pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&Season=1996-97&sortField=PTS&sortOrder=DES&AheadBehind=Ahead%20or%20Behind


Michael Jordan 1998: 4.2 ppg, 43.0%. 3.1 FGA. 37 games in that type of situation.
