Let’s say peak is the absolute best 1-2 season stretch. Which of these SGs do you think peaked the highest as overall players? Not just statistically or achievement wise but how talented and effective they were as players
On a season level it is very close between Kobe and Harden to me. Not Wade. You can basically choose either and have a legitimate argument. Wade had awesome seasons too obviously and major playoff runs, the Olympic run, but over the course of a few seasons, 1-2 seasons, don’t think he has two seasons that compare to Kobe and Harden.
As a player outright it is Kobe clearly. Kobe put together runs that I think to this day are underrated. Harden’s playmaking gravity is notable but Kobe’s scoring gravity is too and he had the most of these three.
There was a pretty long stretch where Harden was averaging 39 PPG.
Kobe 06-09 > DWade 09-11 > Harden 17-20
Harden Kobe then Wade if we’re actually just talking peak.
Harden was far above either of them on offensive playmaking
