The thing with peak kobe vs peak wade is that both players had shit teams when they were at their absolute peak. 09 wade lost to atlanta and that was an absolute monster season, while 06 kobe had luke walton and smush parker as teammates and was a fucking lethal iso scorer. Wade looked like the greatest player on the planet in the 2011 finals and kobe was looked at as the best player from 2005/2006-2010, with him repeating to get 5 rings when wade had 1 and lebron had 0. im sorry but bron wasnt best player in 2009 and 2010 he still had his jump shot/post up woes and was still mentally fragile up until 2012 and that is when he was best player in the league up until 2021. Its actually a very close argument, heat fans will say wade because they watched him more and vice versa with laker fans and kobe
I gotta go with Kobe. But it’s closer than people would like to admit.
I like Wade
Kobe has the slight edge do to the fact wade lost a few of his prime years do to career threatening injuries.
When they were both healthy it was must see tv
Talent and abilities alone, pretty close. But accolades put Kobe way higher
