ISH Vote #4: Top 20 Players in the NBA

[RRR3]

Except the Lakers would have worse results if they had Wade as a first option instead of Kobe.

That's debatable. Wade would involve the bigs more and give the Lakers an elite penetrator. However, he'd make the Lakers floor spacing even worse...

[Deuce Bigalow]

Come on now. Wade scores just as much, but more efficiently. Plus, he'd be a quick and fast paced player for the Lakers, which is what they need. Wade's Game 6 vs. Pacers on ONE knee >>>>> anything Kobe's put up in the Playoffs since 2009.

One game

Wade had 2 30 point games in the 2012 Playoffs, Kobe averaged that and had 2 40pt games

Kobe: 30.0 ppg on 53 TS%
Wade: 22.8 ppg on 53 TS%

How does he score just as much and on better efficiency?

Wade is the second option. What part of this is so hard to understand?

[Young X]

What? It's the general consensus that Kobe is the best SG in the league. Just the way it is.

It shouldn't be though, Wade is the best SG in the league, or at least even with Kobe.

[EnoughSaid]

One game

Wade had 2 30 point games in the 2012 Playoffs, Kobe averaged that and had 2 40pt games

But that one game was more impressive than anything Kobe put up. And it was in a tight, important game.

[Heavincent]

That doesn't mean he's the 3rd-5th best player in the league like you've voted every time so far. Can't remember, but you may have even voted him as the 2nd best.

No, I voted for Durant at number 2.

I feel that Howard and CP3 are overrated. Hell, I don't even think CP3 would be the best PG if Rose didn't tear his knee up. Why is CP3 is so vastly superior to Kobe?

[Heavincent]

That's debatable. Wade would involve the bigs more and give the Lakers an elite penetrator. However, he'd make the Lakers floor spacing even worse...

More touches for Bynum? That's just a disaster waiting to happen.

[RRR3]

Kobe averaged 34/8/7 on 52% shooting in the 2010 WCF. There are countless other games there were better too. Wade pretty much sucked throughout the layoffs.

36-9-11 on 77 TS% http://www.basketball-reference.com/..._2010_WCF.html
38-7-10 on 80 TS% http://www.basketball-reference.com/...005250PHO.html

Wrong again

And

Kobe: 30.0 ppg on 53 TS%
Wade: 22.8 ppg on 53 TS%

How does he score just as much and on better efficiency?

[Heavincent]

Have you seen what happens when Bynum has the green light? He shot 42% when Kobe was injured. He needs less touches, not more. Pau, on the other hand, needs more touches. He was getting the perfect amount of shot attempts before Bynum emerged.

Kobe shoots FTs better, that explains the TS%. And AGAIN, Wade is the 2nd option

Bynum wouldn't have "the green light" with Wade, he'd just probably get a few more touches. So would Pau.

RRRetard at his best

[Heavincent]

Bynum wouldn't have "the green light" with Wade, he'd just probably get a few more touches. So would Pau.

And the results wouldn't be as good as you might think. Wade can't shoot for shit, so defenses would probably just clutter up the paint. Kobe is just much more lethal on offense.

Just think, with Wade, the Lakers wouldn't have any good perimeter shooters at all. Not one.
