Wade was great in the 09 Playoffs, but he was even more short handed than Kobe in 06.
For the regular season, Wade was the best in 09... which is the same argument your buddy made about Kobe being the best player in 06, since both didn't make it out of the first round for having shytty teams.
No he was not more short-handed then Kobe in 06. Kobe was going up the Suns, not a brainless team. But we won't even argue that.
The point that you're missing simple and I'm mad that I'm participating in this undercover stan thread so this is my last post. Kobe was so CLEARLY better than everyone in 06 that losing the playoffs did nothing to diminish that. Kobe dropped a 50 point game in those playoffs and lost if you remember clearly.
Wade in 09 had a better regular season than Kobe and LeBron but he also had to go more out than they did. When it came down the playoffs and both of those guys had to go all out as well, it was clear that they were both still better than Wade. Wade's FT fest in 06 did nothing to show that he was better than Kobe in 06. Nothing. This is a year when most of the players at the all star game admitted that Kobe was the best in the league.
How can you be calling the Wade the best in the league during a period where he said LeBron was better than him and the best in the league?
