Wade 52% Kobe 38%

[Sharmer]

Even without Lebron Wade is so much more efficient then Kobe. It's pretty clear he's much better than Kobe now.

Wade makes his team better, Kobe is hindering the Lakers right now.

Kobe inefficiency is embarrassing, he either should accept being a role player or retire.

Not similar , Lakers are 8-18 and Heat 12-15, with Wade missing like 7 games and Bosh missing a good portion of games.

[Mr Feeny]

Lets see what Wade is doing at age 36 and who he's surrounded by.

Err. ..he wouldn't be shooting 38%fg. There's a reason one is a near 50%fg for his career while the other is 45%fg and dropping.

There's also a reason one just passed Jordan on the all time scoring list while the other is nowhere near that mark.

More and more people are realising how much more efficient Wade has been throughout his career than Kobe. I mean its not like Wade isn't banged up either.

Wade > Kobe right now.

[Sharmer]

Lets see what Wade is doing at age 36 and who he's surrounded by.


Wades knees are more banged up than Kobe s. He's just more efficient less selfish player. Kobe right now has the worst mid range game in the league in terms of efficiency. We could argue Wade still has one of the best especially for a SG.

[Magic 32]

Wades knees are more banged up than Kobe s.

:facepalm

[plowking]

:facepalm

Dude has no cartialage in his knee and your face palming this statement. :oldlol:

Wade is seriously underrated all time. He is in the same class as guys like Barkley, Malone, Robinson, etc, and above guys like Isiah, Pippen, Stockton, Ewing. Yet you wouldn't think so with the way he is discussed on here.

Dude is going to end his career with 3 titles, a finals MVP, all time great averages, 20000+ points, and an insane peak up there with the best. People had Kobe ranked top 15 prior to him winning the two titles with Pau, yet people act like Wade isn't close. His resume certainly speaks otherwise.

[AirFederer]

Fg%, wins, team mates, efficiency etc doesn't count. Only thing counting is blasting away contested mid range jumpers, pure alphaness. :applause:

[MellowYellow]

Kobe won a ship with a similar 2nd star(Bosh/Pau) at 32.

Also shows Wade is more tougher than Kobe.

Wade still goes to the hole whilst Kobe is jacking up mid range.

[plowking]

Bosh isn't the player Pau is. Pau is better right now than Bosh is, and has probably ever been.

[bluechox2]

Kobe with bosh could go far

[Sharmer]

Facts are facts. You can't pick and choose. Wade is vastly superior right now.

Kobe still has some ESPN analyst who are still selling the myth of Kobe.

[plowking]

Kobe with bosh could go far

Well Bosh and Wade are something like 8-3 when they've actually played together this season I believe.

And that is a typical Kobe fan assertion. Always assuming he'd do better on any given team other than the one he is on. :oldlol:

[Sharmer]

Kobe won all his rings with either Shaq and combo's of Bynum/Gasol.

That's vastly superior to Bosh.

[bluechox2]

It's easier to defend one man show Kobe than 2 man show heat

[Mr Feeny]

:facepalm One played in the East his whole career, the other in the West.

That is true. One played more games and took more shots than the other (on a much lower efficiency).

[SexSymbol]

Also shows Wade is more tougher than Kobe.

what the ****?
Kobe always "jacked up" mid range jumpers. He lives in the mid.
Wade's always been a slasher and he's way younger and played half the minutes Kobe has played.
Your comparison is stupid on so many levels

[Dresta]

Very true. Tis getting tiresome.

Seriously, where do you pluck this nonsense from? Where is your evidence that playing in the East provides better and more efficient stats? It is certainly not true in Wade's case, whose numbers have been better or equal vs. the West every single season of his career excepting 2011-12 (which was a lockout anyway).

You're welcome to check for yourself:

http://espn.go.com/nba/player/splits/_/id/1987/year/2004/dwyane-wade


Anyone care to check whether Kobe's numbers vs. the East are far superior to his numbers vs. the West? I somehow doubt it. The East has routinely had the best defensive teams in the league over the past couple decades, and usually play at a slower pace too. None of this would inflate offensive numbers, in fact, quite the opposite.

[upside24]

Kobe is my favorite all time player, but this display of inefficient shot settling and ball dominance with little attempt to involve other teammates in scoring has not been a good way to display his twilight years and I expected so much more.

Wade has adapted his game to fit his physical limits much MJ did to remain an efficient all around player who picks his spots and cuts, posts, and defends while having a good understanding of the game.

Kobe could take a few notes from MJ and Wade.

Like numerous other posters have stated we all saw it coming.

I hoped when Howard going the team he was act more like Celtics Pierce and choose when to take over offensively AND defensively but it never happened.

He isn't wired that way and we all know that. I still enjoy seeing a throwback out of Kobe where his method works but I know good and well Westbrook would scorce Kobe relentlessly in a Finals.

I'm just glad to see him playing, not without a few shakes of the head and full bore cussing.

This is why I've never understood the east vs west argument in terms of stats. Depending on the circumstances Wade may not have had the same team success in the west, but his individual numbers would likely be even better.

Wade is a historically efficient player. The only player in history with a higher scoring average on similar shot attempts per game is Kevin Durant. Among guards, Wade is second only to Jordan in terms of volume and efficiency. Wade is doing what many thought he couldn't, which is remain remarkably effective and efficient after losing elite athleticism. His game now is primarily driven by intelligence and skill.

Just a Kobe fan. My argument stands on Wade. His game is better than Kobe.

[Sharmer]

Another poor percentage shooting game by Kobe. When will he learn. He doesn't have it anymore. I can't believe people were foolish enough to consider him in discussions with MJ.

Kobe should be kept to discussions with all time brick artist. The likes AI, Melo etc.

Wade with no cartilage in his knees is still above 50%.

[GimmeThat]

and Jeremy Lin might propel the Heat into the 2nd round.

Spo's new school of coaching might get it done.

[dreamwarrior]

Wade is the smarter player but he had a weak midrange game his first 10 years in the league. He is now a more complete player but its too little too late. He no longer has the ability to carry his team to the finals. He picks his spots to prolong his career while Kobe would be putting up 35ppg if he was still shooting 45%

THEY DON'T WANT THE TRUTH THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH :cheers:

[Sharmer]

8/30 is just embarrassing with 9 turnovers.

Also Kobe play's no defense these days. MJ was still efficient and never went soft on D.

This is good. People are seeing Kobe for what he truly is. Selfish ball-hog.

[Sharmer]

Kobe is not a starting SG in this league anymore.

[tpols]

Fun facts...

Dwayne Wade this year for the couple thousand possessions that have been tracked on advanced +/- data is..

1) ranked the 391st defender in the league out of 430 players.

2) has a lower offensive team impact than Kobe does according to O-rapm.

[Sharmer]

fun facts.

Kobe's shooting 4.3% in the final 1minute of the 4th.

:lol

[STATUTORY]

never conflate efficiency with impact

Kobe still dominates Wade in term of contribution to actual wins. Wade with Kobe's squad would be getting mercy ruled in the west

[Magic 32]

Wade has adapted his game to fit his physical limits much MJ did to remain an efficient all around player who picks his spots and cuts, posts, and defends while having a good understanding of the game.


You just described Kobe's game from 2008 to 2013.

You can't "adapt" a total achilles tear, a fractured knee and 2 years away from the game by "picking your spots".

[Sharmer]

Kobe is the biggest contributor to Lakers losing games of late.

[Sharmer]

Achilles and fractures heal.

Wade has no cartilage in his knee which doesn't heal.

Just shows how much more heart Wade has than Kobe.

And it was a fractured knee.

[Sharmer]

Kobe has seen the best doctors and has the best rehab in the world. He's healthy. But he's always lacked heart. MJ was a different beast. He had so much more heart than Kobe. MJ always attacked the RIM even at 40. All Kobe does is settle of inefficient contested jump shots. Wades more efficient because he attacks the RIM. Wade is still averaging above 20PPG.

Yes Kobe hasn't been that good this year. Everyone knows it.. You can find at any given time a bunch of threads on the matter.

Dwayne Wade on the other hand is constantly praised.. I had a heat fan tell me the other day that this year still counts as a prime year for Wade and that he's still a superstar. :oldlol:


All the while Wade's been one of the absolute worst defenders in the league and has had less impact on offense than Kobe has.

Kobe inefficiency is embarrassing, he either should accept being a role player or retire.

Agreed pretty much BUT keep in mind... Kobe was doing great right up until the injury and for most of his career before that. I doubt it's easy having to come to grips with this so soon. He is - like us - only realizing now that his latest injury was the kiss of death...

It's not just Kobe's age... I mean I can't think of many players who have come back from a year-long injury looking the same. Young Jordan maybe? Certainly no one in the 30+ range...

But yeah he needs to look at some Lebron footage for a bit of playmaking guidance... especially if he plans on remaining the number one option for his team. And of course that's his prerogative... the team & management are obviously powerless.

[Sharmer]

Kobe fans just make up their own stats. Jacking up shots doesn't mean you have heart.

Wades getting more rebounds per game, blocked shots. He's shooting 42% from 3.

Wade is on all star level.

Kobe shouldn't be starting these days. He's too inefficient to be a starter in this league now.

[Sharmer]

Just a update last ten games Kobe 33%, last 5 games 29% and overall 37%.

This would have to be the worst shooting efficiency for a player averaging over 20PPG in recent history.

You're using one of the most basic field stats to make your conclusion. Keep on keeping on.

[oh the horror]

Before you kiddos blow your loads early as most youngsters do, keep in mind context of this situation.


Wade's team isn't doing much better with better players In a shit conference. I mean they're what? 13 - 15 in the east with guys like Deng and Bosh on the squad? Alrighty then.



Kobe has been playing every game since his return. Good amount of minutes too. At 36 years old, after two pretty nice injuries. One in which happens to be an injury known to slow players down.


Wade once again sitting games left and right. Dude plays sporadic to even keep his knees together.



So try context when you're trying your best to claim one is better. Frankly Wade's prime was over a long time ago and since then I'm not that impressed.

[Sharmer]

Gee these Kobe fans are retarted.

Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing over ad over again and expecting different results.

And you can't comprehend why his nutjuggers are stupid beyond description?

[Sharmer]

Most Kobe stans are hiding right now with embarrassment. These are the in-between Kobe nut lickers.

Still I haven't heard one decent argument to justify Kobes abysmal shooting percentage. Because there is no reason to justify 37% and below 10% in the final minutes of the 4th. Nights such as 8/30 with multiple turnovers, limited rebounds steals and defensive pressure is embarrassing.

[Sharmer]

Just another wake up call to Kobe fans. Wade recently went for 42 12-19 63%. No way Kobe could put these numbers up from 19 shots. He would need 40 plus shots with his efficiency.

Wade right now> Kobe, by miles.

People don't like this list but it's accurate..

James harden is by far the best offensive sg in the league.

Louis Williams is a sixth man so his value is somewhat inflated since a lot of his data is coming against second units(although he's been balling too)

Korver may seem like an outlier but he's having arguably the greatest pure shooting season ever.. The spacing he provides his teammates right now is enormous as is his team offensive impact.

Klay and Jimmy obviously have been great breakout offensive players this year.


It's not an end all be all Stat.. Like if two guys have similar roles and are within a point or so in rapm value there could be a lot of other factors to consider that could even put the guy with a lower value on top.

But when you're down 4 to 1? That's an even bigger difference than Ops FG comparison.

Dwayne Wade has had less of a team offensive impact than kyle Korver. So has Kobe. It is what it is. The only difference is everyone acknowledges kobe sucks.
