Was Peak/Prime Wade same tier as Peak/Prime Kobe or tier below?

I am not talking about longetivity or career but rather at their best...

Was Wade from 2008, 2009 any worse or tier below than Kobe at his best?

Peak wade was better than Kobe to me

Well, what two years was Kobe at his best to compare? I have Wade under Kobe at their respective bests. Kobe was scoring like crazy at one point for the time.

Kobe was better all around and that goes for his defensive skill (when really engaged) too

Wade was better imo for sure....his prime was insane!

Wade for me too

I have their primes as the same tier, but Wade just a hair better. His prime was much shorter lived than Kobe’s though.

Wade by a comfortable margin.

Longevity is what separates the two. If Wade stayed healthy we'd be having a real debate about who the #2 sg of all time was. Kobe has never had a series like Wade did in 06 against the mavs in the finals. Which shows you how amazing peak Wade was. Sadly injuries chopped off a ton of his prime and longevity but he was definitely right there with Kobe at his peak.

I have to strongly agree with the majority here. I thought 2008/2009 wade was the best player in the nba (better than bron)

Super efficient scorer, great passer, defender, and killer mentality

Peak Wade is only 2nd to MJ at SG

Peak Wade was easily better than peak Kobe. Not really a contest.

Wade was a beast at his apex, it was just so insanely short lived.

Peak for peak Wade is only second to MJ as a sg. But Kobe has longevity in his favor.

D-Wade peaked higher than Kobe as a defender and all-round player. Kobe is the better scorer, and it's not by much.

I would say peak Wade easily.

Kobe and it’s not even close. What’s up with this Kobe slander wtf. Kobe has become underrated

people need to remember the difference between prime and peak

PEAK wade, for sure has an argument over PEAK kobe

but definitely not PRIME wade over PRIME kobe

Peak Wade is comfortably better than Kobe.

Kobe does not stack up well against other all time greats in peak matchups.

I think prime wade and prime Kobe were the same, but I like Kobe's more consistent jumper. I think that makes him a more seamless fit more places, even if Wade was a little more dominant. At their peak I think Wade was a little better.
