There shouldnt even be a topic about this.The Heat have a much better supporting cast, Kobe and Shaq are one of the best duos ever and together they won 3 wins in a row, with a high chance of getting 4.Right now we are considering the now, not with what ifs on Shaq in his prime with Wade. And no, Wade right now is not better then Kobe could ever be. Please watch a basketball game. MavsFan, you make me laugh.
All I can say is ask Tayshaun Prince who he found harder to guard. The Pistons won in a 5 game sweep against the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq and than had no answer for Wade. Wade is just an incredible shooter from midrange and is everywhere on defense. For those that say he doesn't play defense are haters.
Back in the Kobe/Shaq era, I have to give it to Wade..I mean come on. He scored more in the finals, he was a better slasher, passer, and not as much as a head case in the locker room and on the court. Well Kobe was the better defender and shooter. I think only slightly on defense, because Kobe didnt play defense on alot of occasions..But Im going Wade because of his eruption in this years' Finals.; He totally tore the games apart.

Kobe is superior in practically every category except slashing maybe.</div>Wade is far, far better passer, playmaker, and more reliable with scoring. Rebounding, defense, and the ability to score over 50 points on any given night goes to Kobe.Anyway, I'd pick Kobe/Shaq. They worked together a little better early in their title run, and as Kmart said, I'd take 30PPG center and 20PPG swingman over 30PPG swingman and under 20PPG center.
I thought this was a DWade/Kobe comparison to when they both had Shaq. Nvm, Im going with Kobe/Shaq because Shaq was a lot quicker back then, a lot less lazier, very dominate too. He scored 28 ppg back then and luike 12 rpg and got very easy buckets. I think just because of that Kobe/Shaq wins.
Shaq is on his decline now(even though he is still dominant) and back then, nobody could touch him. He was impossible to guard. Even though Kobe is better than Dwayne now, i think Dwayne is better right now as Shaq with his teammate than Kobe was when he had Shaq as his teamatte. If that makes sense to you guys

Talent wise = kobe and shaq get the mark; also Kobe and Shaq won like 3 championships together. I don't think Dwade and Shaq will get another championship, Shaq is getting older, and the Heat's bench is about to suck because I think Zo, and some others are going to leave. overall, it's not even close - Kobe and Shaq will be remembered forever as one of the greatest duos in sports history.</div>That is exactly how i feel manShaq in his prime and Kobe starting his prime v.s Young Wade and Old ShaqShaq being the dominant force that he is, is the key factor, and with him at his best, there are only a few better
DWade and Shaq because i hate kobe with a passion and D-Wade did it on his own while shaq wasnt as dominant when he was with kobe
shaq and kobe because kobe was better at the age 24 than dwade now, dwade is 24 now for ya dat dont know and shaq was in his prime
