Come on? Wade is well-known on Defense and Offense as well. He's one of the best D at this time even with his little akward height. Wade became the first player in NBA history to accumulate at least 2,000 points, 500 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocks in a season and is the first player of 6 ft. 5 in. or shorter to register at least 100 blocks in a season.[59][60] Wade also became just the fifth player in NBA History to reach 2,000 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in a season.
08-10 season is why Wades knees are the way they are. He had to carry the shit out of the Heat giving 110% every game. It was good to see LeBron come down and help my fave player of all time, cus he couldnt do everything for himself much longer.
Wade plays through bone bruises (reason Andrew Bynum missed entire season) kobe plays through sprained fingers that happened 5 years ago. Big difference.
Because of reputation. If you actually watched Kobe play this season, you'd know he didn't play shit for defense, guarded spot up shooters, and only played D when it was nationally televised. There's a reason he wasn't on the All Defensive team. He only got 1 vote, and that vote was off pure reputation, because even though he didn't play defense, his name is still Kobe, and people judge off reputation.Just like his clutchness, he shoots below 25% in the clutch, but has hit multiple game winners.
Umm no argument even though Wade is my favorite player. But those are two different positions so I would still say Wade is the best SG in the league with his offence along with his outstanding defense.
Lol, I'm not getting mad or even necessarily saying Kobe's better than Wade, but the guy was straight up saying nonsense so I educated him. Saying Wade's healthier than Kobe when Kobe played 9 more games than him this season even with his Achilles injury is absurd, especially when Wade's never had an 82 game season ever, while Kobe's had multiple
im a lebron fan and i hav to say within the last decade its been all wade especially past 5 yrs im a big fan of KD and Rose but i still think Wades best he did have a bad season this year but you will never find another player to play in the nba who can do what Wade does not only was he the best player many years in the nba he can control his game to win a championship he knew Lebron was goin to wanna run the offense wich is selfish so he stepped down his leadership and leader on defense >>>
Lebrons teams vs Kobe's teams since Kobe has turned 32 yrs old (downside of a career) are 6-1. 13-6 overall. So he was 7-5 vs Kobe prior to that. You do realize that Lebrons stats are propped up because he never sits. He plays more minutes than anyone except Wilt Chamberlain. If you looked at his basic production for the time he spends on the court its not greater than most other great players. no mistake he is great
Dwayne wade is one of the best defenders in the league... Healthier than Kobe... Rebounds and passes better than Kobe... And takes it in better than Kobe... Kobe is just more clutch and has a better jumpshot. Other than that wade is the way SG in the league.
this is a perfect example why lebron is the best player in the world right now...lebron puts up 50 pts, 10 rebs, 9 ast, everyone would go "psh who cares he does that all the time"...but when it's anther player of course it's a big deal.
Wade? Nah, he's excellent at ball denial, gets solid contests on jumpers, rarely gets beat off the dribble, and he's too strong for most SG's to back down. He is also a great defensive rebounder for a 2. He does take plays off, but it's nowhere near 25% of the time. You'd rather have Wade on D than 90% of the 2s in the league.
i respect everything your saying out of anyone on youtube who thinks they kknow baskeball i think u do i can agree this last season and kind of the season lebron 1st came his stats have kinda been better and he has been it im a big wade fan my favorite player i think i less respected Lebrons game when he came to the heats because he could not when a championship at Cleveland i lost a lot of respect for his game Wade won his 3rd yr with less help then LEbron i watch the game and check the stats
We'll see about that. I'm not doubting Wade's ability, making the argument Wade was easily one of the best players in the game in his prime is one I agree with, but saying Wade is right now "best player hands down" is just stupid... He's not even close to the physical condition he was in before, his jumper is more inconsistent, and they wouldn't be anywhere close to making it out of the second round without LeBron.
/watch?v=rC_wQXeQd0w yeah you're right, such great D And Kobe had injured wrists, fingers, bone bruises etc. he injured his ankle near the middle of the season, the difference is Kobe plays through his injuries(not implying Wade should because his nagging knees seemed to be a more chronic injury) hasn't been selected to any defensive teams in 3 years, lol, that's pretty crazy for such a great defender don't you think ?
cause first of all you on a D-Wade video posting kobe stats when nobody cares & second of all why even defend kobe on a D-Wade video anyway??? people can like who ever they want, kobe is not the only player in basketball bro. D-Wade and kobe are both good they both combine for 8 titles, don't let people get you mad bro it shows weakness.
Dwyane Gay didn't get swept in the 1st rd with Shaq & Mourning oh yes he did fuck Dwyane Bitch recruiting HOF'ers like LeBron Shaq Mourning & Bosh & only ONE Finals MVP
Guess wat that mean d.wade has a lot of impact to the game, unlike mj who retires to play baseball and his team only go 2 games worst. And oh d.wade dislocated his shoulder came back lead the league in scoring got robbed mvp want keep going?
Well he's 34 now, you expect him to be the best defender in the NBA? and he didn't even make the all defense 1st team this season either so whats your point ? And he did play D, but as I stated he's much older, he needs to conserve most of his energy for offense, when he needed to play D, he played D very well. watch /watch?v=jI7_McRVkG8 Kobe can still play D. And he doesn't shoot below 25% in the clutch, what a lie
he was two years ago. He gambles too much on defense...also, durability is a skill as well. Kobe is healthy? Are you on crack, haha. He tore ligaments in his wrist last pre-season, broke his nose, is playing with arthritis in his fingers, has a bad right knee. The difference is unlike wade, he has the ability to stay on court. Durability, as I said, is a skill....wade is still good though. Second best sg in the league.
it's funny how people rely on stats so much! statistically yao ming is a better player than shaq but we all know shaq is the better player. D wade knew the sacrifice he was making when deciding to play with LBJ this just goes to show wade's visionary leadership in the team. He sacrificed his personal ambitions for the benefit of the team!
for the past couple of years, it's always been wade, but when lebron came to miami, the tables have turned. the reason why i'm saying lebron is the best right now because as you can see, he has a more complete game compared to wade. and right now, lebron is healthier than wade (and it makes me sad too to see wade hurting). anyway, im not worried because wade will come back, and when playoff comes, wade will surely dominate. one thing great about wade is his UNSELFISHNESS. u kno wut m saying, ye?
The point I was making is that Kobe can still play great defense, so I showed you one example, apparently you didn't watch Laker games cause he played really good D for a 34 yr old this season. and Lmao, Kobe didn't guard Kyrie the whole game so posting Irvings stats are irrelevant. And it's not wether "he wanted to show off" it's wether it's worth him overexerting himself to do it. He's 35 now, not 25. & you said it was under 25%, so you lied. Just like I said.
ye he CAN play tough D when it comes to important posessions. but he gambles at times way too much. but still kobe isnt a comparison to him when it comes to D. Cant believe he wasnt ranked top 5 at nbarank
On offense for sure, but not on defense, he has all the qualities you named and has shown it before, but his laziness on defense causes a lot of that to be irrelevant cause he only truly goes hard on defense like a quarter of the time, so he ends up getting beat off the dribble A LOT
2006 he was. bottom line! he wasn't only phenomenal he won! Lebron couldn't win, Kobes team blew a 3-1 lead. Duncan was passing on his responsibilities
That's a lie. LeBron doesn't even lead the league in minutes per game. Luol Deng, Kobe and Lillard, KD, Batum, Harden, Curry all come before Lebron in minutes. How is Kobe on the downside of his career when we just watched a really good Kobe this season?
Dude Lebron was trying his best one those two plays and got pawned. He can't do shit without a pick vs guys like Kobe , Gay, George. He does the same hesitation dribble push off on all of them. I'm talking 1 on 1, his game is limited! but thats not how basketball is played, its a team game and 10 guys on the court. Easy to say he "always" kills Kobe, now. Since Kobe has hit post prime I suppose. I dont see how Lebron has surpassed Kobe. based on MVPs yeah, thats it! no competition for it
Wade avgs 5.1 rbpg Kobe avgs 5.3, how is he a better rebounder ? And one of the best defenders in the league? Are you on drugs? He's a great help defender for a guard when it comes to shot blocking, but man to man not at all. Half the time he half asses it and gets beat by his man. He's never made a first team defense, Kobes made 9 Kobe's the better defender, rebounder, shot creator and overall scorer, Kobe avgd more points in the paint than wade on a higher FG% so wade doesnt take it in better
And he's not healthir than Kobe either, he only played 69 games this season and has NEVER played a full 82 game season in his career where-as Kobe played 78 games this season and has had multiple 82 game seasons. Where do you come up with this bullshit?
He can't shut down LeBron. WTF! He blocked him twice in an "ALL-STAR GAME." LeBron always kills Kobe whenever they face off in games that actually matter. This year's All-Star game sucked big time. LeBron is already surpassing Kobe and is only 28 but Kobe is still great, just not better than LBJ.
Wade didn't play good D this season you're crazy, and even if he did(which he didn't) Kobe's also like 3 years older, might not seem like a lot to us, but to them thats an extra like 300 games, and practices etc. wears on your body like crazy. And MJ did not play good D when he was on the wizards lol, you're crazy, stop making things up, It's clear you didn't watch the wizards games just make up bs. And yes, he did what he could and played good D when necessary.
You found 1 video of 1 game, which didn't prove shit. Again, Congratu-fuckin-lations. And what you're saying is that Kobe had minor injuries. That's why he can play trough them, Real injuries which he has just now experienced for the first time in his career, he cannot play through. And the Defensive teams is off reputation. Look at the defensive stats to see what's real, BOOM. You've lost. Wade's defensive stats are great + he's the greatest shotblocking guard of all time.
Dwyane wade best slashing guard ever in prime he is impossible to guard, too big ,too strong, too fast, tight dribble ,and iq is off the charts
Wade has always been underated.
Wade is the best player in the nba hands down
He was the best player in the world that year and he lead team usa in ppg that summer
he played like the best the player in the world that season
Wade is very underrated. Who ever votes for those things always pick Kobe, even when he blows.
Wade plays as good of defense as anyone! And he plays it as consistent as anyone!
wade #1 SG in the league its a fact
Come on? Wade is well-known on Defense and Offense as well. He's one of the best D at this time even with his little akward height. Wade became the first player in NBA history to accumulate at least 2,000 points, 500 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocks in a season and is the first player of 6 ft. 5 in. or shorter to register at least 100 blocks in a season.[59][60] Wade also became just the fifth player in NBA History to reach 2,000 points, 500 assists, and 150 steals in a season.
Best shooting guard in the league.
Shoulda have the mvp award this year
08-10 season is why Wades knees are the way they are. He had to carry the shit out of the Heat giving 110% every game. It was good to see LeBron come down and help my fave player of all time, cus he couldnt do everything for himself much longer.
the fact that he wasnt MVP that season was the biggest travesty in sports
and even worse, he finished third place behind kobe
ArturSoaresAlmeida he should have won it he led the nba in points and was 6th in assits 2nd in steals coming off an injury
ArturSoaresAlmeida plus his team was joel Anthony j oneal chalmers haslem Beasley and bums
razkable and he led that team to 5th in the east
Bryn Jones well he lost to the hawks and won like 46 games but he had no help
I think Wade should have won MVP this year, he had so many games like this that year. It was unfortunate he was playing with garbage.
Wade plays through bone bruises (reason Andrew Bynum missed entire season) kobe plays through sprained fingers that happened 5 years ago. Big difference.
No no no,Wade's a great peremiter defender and also in clutch It's just that Kobe is much more healthy
Because of reputation. If you actually watched Kobe play this season, you'd know he didn't play shit for defense, guarded spot up shooters, and only played D when it was nationally televised. There's a reason he wasn't on the All Defensive team. He only got 1 vote, and that vote was off pure reputation, because even though he didn't play defense, his name is still Kobe, and people judge off reputation.Just like his clutchness, he shoots below 25% in the clutch, but has hit multiple game winners.
wade's a boss
why was Wade not MVP this year, so many 40+ games......
hellllllllllllll nooooooooo, d. wade in his prime would shut him DOWN.
Umm no argument even though Wade is my favorite player. But those are two different positions so I would still say Wade is the best SG in the league with his offence along with his outstanding defense.
Great game.
at this time in his career, kobe is a roamer. he doesn't play defense any more.
Lol, I'm not getting mad or even necessarily saying Kobe's better than Wade, but the guy was straight up saying nonsense so I educated him.
Saying Wade's healthier than Kobe when Kobe played 9 more games than him this season even with his Achilles injury is absurd, especially when Wade's never had an 82 game season ever, while Kobe's had multiple

Dwayne wade is one of the best defenders in the league... Healthier than Kobe... Rebounds and passes better than Kobe... And takes it in better than Kobe... Kobe is just more clutch and has a better jumpshot. Other than that wade is the way SG in the league.
DW3❤
LeBron, Carmelo, Kobe, Paul, Durant, Duncan, Westbrook, Parker, Harden, hell, I'd take Paul George over Wade the way Wade plays now.
this is a perfect example why lebron is the best player in the world right now...lebron puts up 50 pts, 10 rebs, 9 ast, everyone would go "psh who cares he does that all the time"...but when it's anther player of course it's a big deal.
Lol, he was the best player in at least 2 seasons.
he does on occasion. when he wants to shut down guys like Lebron on certain plays or even Kyrie he still can.
But not consistently
The people who vote for "those things" are opposing NBA head coaches. I don't see why they'd have any type of bias towards Kobe lol
He's a good help & 1 on 1 defender, but his laziness on defense is crazy, he only goes 100% on D like 25% of the time
Wade? Nah, he's excellent at ball denial, gets solid contests on jumpers, rarely gets beat off the dribble, and he's too strong for most SG's to back down. He is also a great defensive rebounder for a 2. He does take plays off, but it's nowhere near 25% of the time. You'd rather have Wade on D than 90% of the 2s in the league.

And Kobe had injured wrists, fingers, bone bruises etc. he injured his ankle near the middle of the season, the difference is Kobe plays through his injuries(not implying Wade should because his nagging knees seemed to be a more chronic injury) hasn't been selected to any defensive teams in 3 years, lol, that's pretty crazy for such a great defender don't you think ?
thats the difference between kobe and wade:
Wade: 50/10/9
Kobe: 61/0/2
cause first of all you on a D-Wade video posting kobe stats when nobody cares & second of all why even defend kobe on a D-Wade video anyway??? people can like who ever they want, kobe is not the only player in basketball bro. D-Wade and kobe are both good they both combine for 8 titles, don't let people get you mad bro it shows weakness.
I'm a fan of Dwyane Wade and will always be, but LeBron is the best player in the NBA today. It's like Wade already took a step down for LeBron.
Easily better then mj
And d.wade wasn't 1-9 in playoffs til he got bosh and lebron lls d.wade never got swept ever ,and definetely not in the first round like ur boy mj
Dwyane Gay didn't get swept in the 1st rd with Shaq & Mourning oh yes he did fuck Dwyane Bitch recruiting HOF'ers like LeBron Shaq Mourning & Bosh & only ONE Finals MVP
Oh yea lead the Heat to the WORST SEASON EVER 07-08 injury prone bitch
Guess wat that mean d.wade has a lot of impact to the game, unlike mj who retires to play baseball and his team only go 2 games worst. And oh d.wade dislocated his shoulder came back lead the league in scoring got robbed mvp want keep going?
She Dwyane Bitch didn't play against the Celtics with Bird McHale Parish & Dennis Johnson & the BAD BOY PISTONS
go take him.LOL.. Wade will be better next season for sure.
Well he's 34 now, you expect him to be the best defender in the NBA? and he didn't even make the all defense 1st team this season either so whats your point ?
And he did play D, but as I stated he's much older, he needs to conserve most of his energy for offense, when he needed to play D, he played D very well. watch /watch?v=jI7_McRVkG8 Kobe can still play D.
And he doesn't shoot below 25% in the clutch, what a lie
a 50 point triple double kobe 1 assits 2 rebs 50 points lol
he was two years ago. He gambles too much on defense...also, durability is a skill as well. Kobe is healthy? Are you on crack, haha.

man, if bron has this wade...its over, no chance for the fuckin pacers

& you said it was under 25%, so you lied. Just like I said.
sorry, meant to respond to sean brice
Dont take it to far now, LeBron has never scored above 40pts this season
Wade is shitting on everyone in da league especially when healthy if you think different your opinion does not really matter
ye he CAN play tough D when it comes to important posessions. but he gambles at times way too much. but still kobe isnt a comparison to him when it comes to D. Cant believe he wasnt ranked top 5 at nbarank
On offense for sure, but not on defense, he has all the qualities you named and has shown it before, but his laziness on defense causes a lot of that to be irrelevant cause he only truly goes hard on defense like a quarter of the time, so he ends up getting beat off the dribble A LOT
2009
2006 he was. bottom line! he wasn't only phenomenal he won! Lebron couldn't win, Kobes team blew a 3-1 lead. Duncan was passing on his responsibilities
the seats are empty
Yao Stats > Shaq's Stats??? Maybe FT%.
Haha.. He's gonna make it harder for lebron to be the heat's scoring leader?;)
That's a lie. LeBron doesn't even lead the league in minutes per game. Luol Deng, Kobe and Lillard, KD, Batum, Harden, Curry all come before Lebron in minutes. How is Kobe on the downside of his career when we just watched a really good Kobe this season?

I dont see how Lebron has surpassed Kobe. based on MVPs yeah, thats it! no competition for it
Tell that to Kyrie Irving or LeBron, they've both been locked down by him so I bet they'd beg to differ
Wade avgs 5.1 rbpg Kobe avgs 5.3, how is he a better rebounder ? And one of the best defenders in the league? Are you on drugs?

his defense isnt great. i think kobe is still better. more durability. more minutes played
Are you crazy?
lol "great stats for the worlds greatest player"...wade was great n his prime top 5 of era easy but he HAS NEVER BEEN BEST N THE WORLD
Wade didn't play good D this season you're crazy, and even if he did(which he didn't) Kobe's also like 3 years older, might not seem like a lot to us, but to them thats an extra like 300 games, and practices etc. wears on your body like crazy.
And MJ did not play good D when he was on the wizards lol, you're crazy, stop making things up, It's clear you didn't watch the wizards games just make up bs. And yes, he did what he could and played good D when necessary.
doU evenlift.. so obviously a child raging and knows absolutely nothing... Wade great help defender and a 1 on 1 defender
You found 1 video of 1 game, which didn't prove shit. Again, Congratu-fuckin-lations. And what you're saying is that Kobe had minor injuries.

lol
bad crowd
you're delusional. LeBron clearly is.
why was Wade not MVP this year, so many 40+ games......
