PPG = cac stats?

They're all "cac stats", which is why I find it hilarious how y'all screw your faces up at one type of cac stats, but then treat another form of cac stats as if they're the sacred cow of basketball.

In 2009 Kobe was #1, Wade #2 and Bron #3 in the league. But y'all aint ready to have that discussion....:pachaha:

Arguably '09

Kobe dikkriders gonna cry about this though
Arguably? 09 was a year I can say he probably was the better SG, kobe was just more successful that year.

2012 he only played 49 games and Kobe put up better stats. Y’all nikkas just throwing years around :russ:

Fistful of jewels
Never even heard of a Kobe Stan actually argued that Kobe was better in 09. You're out here using the first 2months of the season as an argument :snoop:

I could play that game too because Dwade was at 34.5/6.4/7.3/2.2/1.5 on 51.3FG% his first 2months.

Dwade was on an unreal level that whole season
Nobody needs to argue he was better in 09. He was. Before that, all Kobe haters said he needs to stop being selfish and use his teammates more. So when he does, hes suddenly not the best player anymore? Nothing Kobe did or could have done would be good enough. Your stances shift based on what he did from game to game. Perfect example, series against the Suns. Goes for 50 against the Suns in game 6. You all say he needs to pass more and use his teammats. Game 7, he passes and utilizes his teammates and you say he quit.

Nah Wade's defense (second year in a row Kobe would steal an All-Defense team from Wade) and efficiency the difference maker. I'm surprised you go at me on the 2012 year and not '09.

2012 Kobe had his worst efficiency since his rookie season (FG%, 3P%, eFG%, TS%) and it was apparent throughout the season (22 games <= 40% FG). Kobe was a negative defensive player by 2011. Wade still an elite defender in 2011 and 2012 and what he gives up in PPG, he makes up in efficiency.

'09 Wade had himself a hell of a season but Kobe has his best chip run ever in '09 which kind of combats it while Wade's '09 playoff run was underwhelming compared to his season.

2012 wade averaged 21/5/5 52/25/72 with 1.9 steals and 0.8 blocks(only 49 games to be fair)
2012 Kobe averaged 27/5/6 46/32/83 w/ 1.4 and 0.3 blocks

I mean I’m not a advanced stats guy but uhh...yeah. :skip:Wade only shot a better FG% kobe shot a better 3 and was better at the FT line

09 stats wise and eye test I would give to Wade although I get your point.
