Ive never questioned Kobe's play on defense, ever. Only the last 2 years have i seen him slip away on D. He was always a top tier defender. Wade is a lockdown defender when he wants to. Thus why i can give Kobe the edge because Kobe doesnt need motivation to do what he has to.Kobe isn't just a volume shooter. He's very much a scorer but Kobe is an underrated passer and defender. Kobe's overall durability is his biggest stength over Wade but he's a better and more versatile scorer. Wade is a better playmaker.
As for volume shooter, im sorry but Kobe sometimes takes the dumbest shots ive seen. He's not a smart play-maker at all. He takes too many shots that he has no business taking. He makes them a lot of times but still/
