Wade vs Kobe

[Hawkeye15]

I will say that if guaranteed healthy I would probably take Wade over Kobe but I feel like Wade is a bigger risk to miss substantial playing time than Kobe is and I don't think the talent level Wade has is large enough to overcome the greater injury risk.

This. I think it can be summed up like this. No matter who you would take RIGHT NOW (I take Wade), the mere fact that a 30 year old Wade, with 630ish games on his knees, is competing with a 34 year old Bryant, with 1330 games on his knees, for best SG, is a testament to how durable, and dependable Kobe has been, and still is.

Right now, last year, Wade was better, even with the minor injuries in the regular season. But Wade is more injury prone, and that has to factor in a little, doesn't it?

Wade, because he's better at just about everything.

Kobe better Jump shooter ft% shooter more clutch just as good a facilitator better rebounder 1000% better footwork

Wade just attacks the basket better and is at this point slightly a better defender

wade isnt better at everything else, and kobe isnt better than wade at all the crap you just mentioned.

smh if you have biased thoughts, stfu and keep it to yourself OR blurt them out in the Lakers forum.

Last year both sucked but I give Wade a slight edge. I expect both of them to bounce back this year.

I agree with this. I think both will play better than they did last year. Kobe will have better numbers but wade will have better efficientcy.

Three notable Laker homers have already voted for Kobe, so the poll has already been ruined.....

lol at the wade votes wade is more broken down then kobe and kobe in his 17th year

Yup.

Also, can we measure the homerism levels of each voter and gauge off that?

Not even, Kobe was All NBA defensive Second Team Last season and Wade didn't even make a defensive team.
