Who's better - Current Kobe or Wizard's Jordan?

Wade is already a lock for the HoF

True story. 3 rings. One as the main guy, 2 as a superstar sidekick, I don't see how he doesn't get in.

The point is, people should stop trying to compare Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan. They were clearly on two different levels. Bryant should focus on trying to leave a more lasting legacy than Dwayne Wade at this point.

this according to his haters but those people that matter, in NBA circles, will have a much different opinion as he/MJ DO compare 1000% especially when Kobe wins his 6th ring

Lakers fans can hype up Kobe as much as they want to. Thing is, nobody outside LA agrees Kobe should be mentioned in the same breath as MJ. Fact. Word.

Are those the same circles of people that matter who you said didn't know what they were talking about when they said it was a bad contract to give Kobe and hurt their chances of contending for the next 2yrs?

D-Wade is a likely Hall of Famer unless he completely craters the next few seasons.

And his career numbers are fairly competitive with Kobe Bryant

WADE
24.6 ppg on 49% shooting
4.8 assists
5.3 rebounds
career PER=25.4
career Defensive rating=103

KOBE
25.0ppg on 45% shooting
6.1 assists
5.1 rebound
career PER=22.4
career Defensive rating=106

I think Kobe is the better player for intangible/immeasurable stuff that gives you a feeling he is better.
But the career numbers are a lot closer than any Laker fan wants to admit.


Plus Wade carried Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, and Brian Grant to the playoffs without resorting to calling it Smush Parker syndrome.

Actually the 6.1 assists belong to Wade....I short changed him


Kobe is the one with the 4.8 assists/game

I was about to say... what??? Kobe passes the ball??

4.8 APG from a shooting guard is bad?

Their numbers are close. In fact, some of Wade's numbers are better. I don't understand the bolded part of your post.

Well a lot of that had to do with passing the ball down to Shaq . Since shaq left passing hasn't been part of his game no more

His best APG years were without Shaq.

Really? Huh.... I guess I keep remembering that ally opp Kobe threw to Shaq vs Portland ....

That's one of my favorite plays. Shaq was still able to get up high back then!

Yep that was NBA history classic moment

you mean reporters from print and media? Just checkin cause I doubt those cats would want to see Kobe in a positive light....no dufus, I'm talking about teams management/ownerships.

provide the "Fact" homie....I won't be holding my breath just in case

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

It works both ways.


I think it is totally acceptable to mention D-Wade along with Kobe Bryant.


I also think it is acceptable to mention Jordan with Kobe.


All 3 have had great careers.


Jordan is clearly the best of the 3 without argument


But it is not some absurd distance that Kobe/D-Wade are not even close.

 

[Crotchrocker]

I respect what you are saying, Horns. But it is definitely absurd to compare Bryant to Michael Jordan. It is also absurd to mention Kobe with Lebron. Lebron is also immeasurably better than Kobe. Word.

as I figured no facts to back up your wild claim
