What is iyo kobe's "go to" UNSTOPPABLE signature move? It's not an unfair comparison, wade is like kobe, just a stronger/tougher version of him, & better on defense & intangibles- leadership, mental toughness, never quit in the PO's, knocked down 7/8 etc. It's those intangibles that separate him from kb & put him closer to mj tier imo.
Wade is MUCH better than wade at this point in their careers. Its ridiculous how him and Lebron just fool around half the time. In their primes I think Kobe has a small edge over him and thats it.
You guys must be too young, Kobe in his prime was stupid good nobody I mean nobody could stop him. Wade is a beast and I'd but him top 4 maybe even 3rd but Kobe bean Bryant is a top 10 player of all time and a legend. Kobe was a monster in the early and mid 2000s when wade was in college and on his rookie deal. I advise you to go back as watch old Kobe games not just look at per numbers lol stat nerds go watch Kobe drop 40 points 10 games in a row go watch Kobe drop 81 or Kobe drop 50 4 games in a row. This stuff is not done ever don't act like his prime wasn't special guys Kobe's a goat like mj and lebron.
Too young? Kobe's prime was from 05-07. Thats when he was putting up his best numbers and able to take full control of the lakers team. Thats also when he had the unbelievable 50 point stretch and the 81 point game. That was absolutely ridiculous. Scoring wise he only falls behind Wilt with those two feats. Did Jordan ever do that and does Kobe even rank close to Jordan? No. Those feats aren't a good measuring stick in comparing players. Wade in his prime was an absolute beast that wasn't as good, but wasn't too far off from Kobe.
Wade is maybe top 5 I wouldn't put him ahead of drexler, his size and length has the advantage Wade plays in the league with no hand checking, Any hard foul is a flagrant foul, superstar touch fouls...if drexler in his prime played today's rules, he would put his head down and drive in the lane too, plus he is a better shooter than wade
Forget to say drexler was a better team player, more versatile, this dudes passing skills are underrated, wade knows how to play one way, put his head down and drive, now playing with Lebron for 3 yeArs he learn to cut in when all the defense is focus on Lebron.
The player who Wade most resembles is Michael Jordan. Wade is the Jordan light. Career wise he is still not done yet so it's hard to rank him just yet. I think he will end up with at least four rings for his career and that will likely put him in the top five SG of all time. Right now he's not there yet.
