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.

Totally agree.

Like @LAD stated, even though the topic is slightly debatable, the way it was presented was guaranteed to get a rise out of folks.

I like @TJL. He's hell a funny...

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

See now, stuff like that makes me almost think about considering possibly setting up a twitter.

But I still won't.

Agree. Didn't see it as a troll attempt either. Like you said, a "who's better" debate between the #2 and #3 all time player at their position is usually pretty solid with plenty of good points for both sides.

The overall career numbers between Kobe and D-Wade are very close. Plus, as @bksballer89 pointed out, the biggest difference is that Kobe's prime lasted a little long than D-Wade's. Had D-Wade's prime lasted longer...it might be darn close to a tie.

Uh, you've fudged it a bit there except for assists and fg%.

D-Wade has averaged 34.7 minutes per game, not points per game. His ppg is 22.6.

He has averaged 4.8 rebounds per game not 7.8.

He has averaged 5.5 assists per game, not 3.8.

He shot 48.3% on fg's and 28.8% on 3's.

He shot 76.7% on free throws.

Kobe:

25 ppg
5.2 rpg
4.8 apg
44.7% fpg
32.9% on 3's.
83% on free throws

Kobe has him on points per game, rebounds, 3 point percentage, free throws and rings.

D-Wade has assists and overall fg%.

Overall, very, very close, but Kobe has the edge.









I believe those were Wade final numbers vs Dallas in 06

And it was most certainly a troll attempt.

I would take PRIME D Wad over PRIME Kobe

But Kobe has a better resume than D WAD.

I can't wait until RealGM activates my new account now that I have an Indiana IP address.

I'm going to tear that place to shreds just like I did the last 3 times I got perma banned.

You moved from Tampa to Indiana? Gross.

Good thing for the Warriors is that they're safely in the 2nd seed so they can just worry about getting Klay, Steph, and KD healthy for the playoffs
