Wade vs Kobe so far this year

[Papaya Petee]

Dwyane Wade- 24.1 PPG 6.6 RPG 3.7 APG 1.7 SPG 1.1 BPG 49% FG, 38% 3PT, 78% FT 33 MPG

Kobe Bryant- 22.9 PPG 5.8 RPG 4.7 APG .9 SPG .3 BPG 44% FG 88% FT 33% 3PT 31 MPG


Who has been better? Of course Wade has the luxury of playing with LeBron and Chris Bosh, but Kobe has the luxury of playing with Pau, Lamar, Barnes, and Artest. Heat are 5-2 and Lakers are 7-0, but I think that's mostly because Heat are still getting to play together for the first time, and LAL has been a powerhouse for the past 3 years. At the end of the year, Heat should have a better record, but now that's irrelevant.

Who has been playing better SO FAR this year?

Up until yesterday, Kobe. He didn't really do much of anything yesterday so his stats took a hit.

How about because they both have 7 games and I wasn't home today.... I asked a legitimate question, because they seem close right now.

Statistically, Wade has been better than Kobe every season. Now, he has the luxury of a very good team.

IMO, Wade will be > Kobe

Bryant, yesterday is going to cause him to take a hit in the stats. But he is average 23-4-5 in just 31 minutes a game.

If Kobe had his usually stat line of 25-5-5 would you have made this thread, the only reason it is close at the moment is because he was terrible last night.

2010-2011 STATISTICS
WADE:
33.29 MPG | 24.14 PPG | 6.43 RPG | 3.71 APG | 27.16 PER

KOBE:
31.29 MPG | 22.86 PPG | 5.71 RPG | 4.57 APG | 25.46 PER

Both TOP five in PER, and both players' teams have looked impressive. Wade is performing slightly better statistically as he has higher win shares, despite the fact Kobe's team has the better record. So, Wade.

Obviously wade has been playing better.

Kobe's PER was at 28.4 prior to last night, really it isn't all that close. Kobe has been more productive in less minutes played.

[Hihater]

Wade has been playing less minutes because they've been blowing out teams, against New orleans is when he had to play alot of minutes because the game was close .

How? Even if you want to exclude Kobe's last game, they are still close.
