Dwyane Wade has most certainly passed Kobe on the greatest SG of all time list, think this needs to be talked about more often.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

Watching the official nba twitter account go at it with the official nba refs twitter account is hilarious

Firmly cemented as the 3rd best imo, but Kobe was better.

Think the undeniable thing that sets them apart was that Kobe was a 9x All Defense 1st Team. He was a great defender in his prime.

I hate Kobe too, so it says alot for me to admit this. LOL.

I started to type a reply.

But, physically recoiled before hitting the post reply button.

Plus, this is obviously trolling or drunk texting....lol

Here was the start of the back and forth. Started with Heat reported Ira Winderman

Yeah I don't why people fall for it. Wade is my favorite player ever and I didn't even bother responding.

Only thing I'll say, it would have been a much closer and legit debate had Wade not been so injury prone. I do think Wade in his prime and Kobe in his prime are pretty close to each other. Problem is Kobe prime lasted much longer as he was almost never injured while Wade was the opposite

Denver was doing the Lord's work last night.

They improved both of the Clippers probable draft picks by tying them for 9th in the West and bumping the Pistons behind the Lakers in the win column.

Sadly, we own the tie breaker.

But, I'm praying we lose enough to get a top 10 pick or at least have a shot at the Lakers snuffing us out in the last game of the Season, to keep us out of the playoffs.

Agree.

Wade is likely 3rd all-time for most.

No shame in that.

Yeah, I stopped taking the bait with Hurricane, The Potato and a couple of other folks that frequent the threads.

Why waste my breath, key strokes on trolling and unintelligible nonsense?

It's not a huge troll, imo. Arguing who's better between guys who would be considered #2 and #3 at their positions all time would be worthy of a debate. I think it's probably more clear cut than say comparing Shaq and Hakeem, but not a take unworthy of at least a brief discussion.

If you go look a Kobe and Wade's per 36 numbers, they're really, really similar. Kobe has a higher 3 point percentage, but Wade has an overall higher FG%. Their PPG are similar although Wade averages nearly 2 shots a game less.

Wade obviously takes a hit because of his injury history. No doubt Kobe is easily better, but you can at least discuss the players at their peaks.

If you haven't seen this video for the new song by Lil Dicky Ft. Chris Brown, you gotta do it ASAP. It's fucking hilarious and the song is catchy as hell.

I think the trolling impression is based on how he presented it. Also, love TLJ, but he is kinda known for trolling from time to time.

Another good win for the Raptors last night, going for their 11th straight win tonight vs. Dallas.

This I do agree with. I'm all for discussing who was better at their peak but Kobe will always get the advantage when it comes to who had the better career.

They should be able to prevail...
