Retard alert

LeBron stan alert you mean ...

Wade's 40+ point performance @ Indy, and his dismantling of OKC in the shade during the Finals is slept on.

Comparing these 3, Wade was closest to his peak compared to all players. Ability wise he was the best. Statistically it was Drexler.

wade

wade was "good" at best in the postseason.

Thanks for the +rep in another thread. Appreciate that.

I would probably put Kobe ahead of Drexler on this list because of his defense, but it's arguable. Good stuff.

Wade had a few memorable games, just as Kobe did (Game 7 vs POR, Game 4 vs Pacers). Drexler is very underrated in general, so I like the mention from OP.

2000 Kobe averaged more blocks than Shaq in the WCF, and was getting 2 steals and 2 blocks per game in the playoffs

just a beast defensively

Kobe was averaging 22/4/5 on 46/36/74 shooting before his injury in Game 2 of the Finals...plus you add that epic OT game he had in Game 4 + 26/10 in the game to clinch the series...he was better than Drexler and Wade.

highlights of his Playoff run:

- 1st round vs Kings: 28/4/4 on 50/33/78 shooting, 3 straight games of 30 or more points in the series.

- Game-winning shot against Phoenix in Game 2

- the entire Portland series, where he avgd 20/5/6/2 a game with 2.1 bpg (shooting 52% from 3). Big moments being the game-saving block on Sabonis in Game 3 and leading the team in 4 categories in Game 7 with a 25/12/7/4 performance. You could make a case for him being the most important player in that series with the defense he played + putting up more blocks than Shaq.

- Game 4 @ Indiana was his coming out party. That performance in Overtime with Shaq out was one for the ages, that game-winning tip-in with 6 seconds left...

- And don't forget the game where he held Reggie to 1/16 shooting...

Don't forget the alley-oop to Shaq after crossing over Pippen to cap-off the epic comeback. One of the most epic/iconic playoff moments of all time. And at 21 years old!

not really fair to put 2000 Kobe since he was obviously injured and not even in his 20s, Wade and Drexler were almost in their 30s in 94 and 12
