Kobe vs Wade..Who will have the better season? 

Post#1 » by DrCoach » Fri Oct 17, 2014 12:16 am

Both a reportedly declining superstars

Who will have the better season? Play more games?

They both should have all the shot,s assts and rebounds they can handle.

Obviously Kobe is older but Wade appears to be declining at the same rate

Who'll either be a top 5SG? Top 3? #1?

Wade will be better he was pretty good last season when he played and Kobe is older and coming off bad injuries.

Wade -- I see him having both better stats and a better record. Wade will be in the playoffs, Kobe won't be.

Sure the Lakers will be terrible but Phoenix had a better record than half the East last season and couldn't make the playoffs. Saying the Heat will make the playoffs isn't exactly stepping out on a limb.

Wade. He has Bosh to carry a lot of the load and the Heat have better chemistry than the Lakers. Kobe is likely to try to do too much once again.

Barring a serious injury, Wade is a lock to have a better season than Kobe.

Gonna go with Wade.
He actually was pretty good last year during the regular-season.
His jumper was money and he was extremely efficient.

Obviously he'll be playing differently and defended differently with Bron gone so it is hard to say what numbers he'll put up but assuming he remains reasonably healthy I expect him to outperform an older Bryant coming off injury.

Can't say I would be overly shocked if the opposite occurred though.
Bryant is a special guy and predicting Wades health at this point is hard to do.
He could end up looking pretty washed up even if I don't predict that.

Kobe will take his position back as the top SG in the league.. Wade has had health problems through most of his career so I can't see it being any different this season, where Kobe only had the 1 season. Yes they were major injuries, but he's never missed time like that before & I don't think he will again.

I'm a big Kobe fan so I hope it's him, but it will probably be Wade. Wade can and will be rested more often.

Should be Wade, Kobe is on his last wheels...doesn't mean he can't put together a productive season, but I don't expect much.
