Kobe has proved which is not part of the discussion since the MVP is about this year. Better Scorer: KobeBetter Slasher: WadeBetter Shot selection: WadeBetter outside Shooter: KobeBetter defender: EvenBetter rebound: WadeBetter Passer: WadeBetter shot blocker: WadeBetter at steals: WadeBetter free throw shooter: Kobe. That's how I see it.</div>Kobe is better defender, and definately better steal guy. Blocking is about even. Other than that I agree.This isn't about MVP, this is about their careers and who is a better player. Like with MJ, you can't bring him up and not mention 6 titles, 5 MVP's, 6 finals MVP's, all star MVP's, 10 scoring titles, DPOY, etc... Same goes for Kobe.

There is no way he may appear that way but Kobe has a lot more muscle on him and that doesnt stop him from being so quick because he is a seasoned player.

He is like 3 inches short and they are about same weight. Wade is more ripped than Kobe, so it is obviously all muscle. Wade always drives and gets banged around so much, but still finishes and is never injured. Kobe probably doesn't drive so much because he isn't quite strong and tough enough to take all the punishment, finish and not get injured.
Wade - http://photostore.nba.com/perl/gal?gallery...uencenum=&page=Bryant - http://photostore.nba.com/perl/gal?gallery...ncenum=12&page=big difference look at the arms
Wade's not flexing like kobe is. WAde actually is going the other direction with his arm. Kobe is not that strong from what I see.
Wade is stronger. I will try to find a pic I seen of him where he is flexing. He looked like a body builder.He put on tons of muscle this summer.
I will say it again, Wade is stronger. He has no fat on him at all, is 3 inches shorter than Kobe, and still about as heavy. That view Wade was totally stretching his arm, so it appeared smaller. Just watch when they aren't flexing. And again, watch games, Wade's confidence to drive so much alone and not get hurt shows his strength and power.Here-DWade: Kobe: Note- Kobe's armband makes his muscle look bigger than it is.
Yea Wade is really ripped. Great example Nitro and yea Kobe wears that armband for a reason, and it is not for sweat lol.
Since no-one knows about it, kobe is no longer 220lbs. He's apparently down 10-15 lbs, i remember reading the article in october. He lost the weight so he could run longer and keep up wiht faster players.Kobe last season was bigger than wade though...

Wade is the stronger (and more ripped....he is as cut as you can get) player, and his confidence to drive to basket and finish strong, get fouled, get to foul line 10x per game even though 6'3'', and never get injured, all show he is the stronger player.
Doesn't kobe get to the line more? If he does that's amazing considering Wade has no perimiter game all and his attacking the rim for most of the game.
Wade has a slight edge on his overall game. Kobe has some things he is better than Wade at but I made the comparisons and more of them favor Wade. Also the +/- of the Heat with Wade is better than the +/- of the Lakers with Kobe.
Anyone that says Kobe is stronger is stupid. A monkey can tell even without looking at that picture.Kobe is the best individual player in the league, but I'd definetly take Wade over him in a second. Much easier to build around. I'm not taking age into consideration either. Kobes championship days are over. No more riding Shaq.

Better than Kobe ever did without Shaq. Shaq made the lakers. Kobe's time of riding Shaq's coattail is over. lol
I'm not gonna even read anyones argument before mine.Kobe is:-More clutch-Can actually hit a 3-Has a more refined mid-range game-Tries harder on D-Has a waaaay bigger offensive arsenal-And is simply more athletic (people forget Wade is only 6' 4") I like Wade but no way is he better than Kobe, right now atleast. Anyone who says Wade is better is a Kobe hater or overvalues stats way too much.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Better than Kobe ever did without Shaq. Shaq made the lakers. Kobe's time of riding Shaq's coattail is over. lol</div>Really? Is that why Kobe has the Lakers in the playoffs?They dont have a reliable second option on that team. Nor do they have a decent big man.Odom is inconsistant. This thread has turned into which player you would rather have on your team. The question was which player is <u>Better</u>.To say Wade is better than Kobe Bryant is disrespectful. Kobe Bryant is a better leader. Dywane Wade has a less than .500 record without Shaq with a much better supporting cast than Kobe.Give Kobe guys like Alonzo Mourning, Jason Williams, James Posey, and Antwoin Walker and watch the Lakers grab a top 4 seed out west.
