Wade's A Hero For Taking Twice As Many Shots As His Teammates... But Kobe Gets Trashed When He Does It... Why?

Question

Wade took 28 shots last night, the next closest was Shaq with 12... but Wade's a hero even if they would have lost... I guess cause Kobe's the bad guy of the league that everyone loves to hate

To Georgeh 1981: Why are you acting like Kobe is 40 years old or something, he's only 27. Wade is 24. Neither on of them have peaked yet, Kobes been in the league since he was18 and has 10 years under his belt. That don't mean he's in his prime, it means that he's a seasoned vet. He still has a good 8 or 9 years left in him. And Wade has not done anything dus far that Kobe did'nt do back in 2001, 2002, or 2003.

I did'nt ask who was the better man... Kobe might as well be the devil to you all

Answer 1

Yeah, Kobe Bryant already has a stigma attached to him, stating that he's a bad guy and he forced out Phil Jackson and Shaq a couple of years back. Plus, Dwayne Wade is more fan-friendly nowadays and more marketable, and the media see this and don't jump on him when he takes so many shots. It sucks because Kobe is 100 times better player than Wade.

Answer 2

Because D-Wade still does it in a team concept, he gives the other players a chance to get involved. D-Wade is a better player. PERIOD Kobe played with Shaq while Shaq was in his prime Wade has carried the Heat and Shaq on his back.

The reason Wade is look at like a hero is because he is doing it in the FINALS, not against the Raptors in the regular season. Kobe is the reason the Lakers are at home because of his tantrum against the Suns. Thats why Wade isn't selfish he's a winner.

Answer 3

JACKO, before you start bashing people on here who back their facts with sources, you should get an education. As you stated in reference to Kobe "he aint got nobody else on the team", so in that case, you're saying that he does have people on his team since you apparently like double negatives. Although what you really wanted to say JACKA$$ was that Kobe didn't have anyone on his team when he won three championships - yeah sure, dream on. But then again you may be right, because with ball hog Kobe on a team it probably seems like there are no players. Regardless, Wade is much more talented, has a stronger will to win, is by far a better team player, and has a lot more class, and style for that matter, than Bryant both on and off the court.

Answer 4

Well...Dwyane IS more fan friendly, he is a GREAT role model and is very humble. But more importantly, Dwyane shoots over 50% for the season, and even higher in the playoffs. Kobe (although talented) shoots in the lower 40's. Check it out on NBA.com player profiles if you dont believe me. Also, Wade takes far less shots per game than Kobe, and Wade leads his team in assists, proving he is not a ball hog. This can also be verified on NBA.com.

And have you ever heard of player efficiency ratings? Wade's is better than Kobe's. PLUS Wade is not in his prime yet, and Kobe is. Wade will get better every year until he's about 30.


Please, verify all this at NBA.com, and if you still think Im wrong, then give the clown above me the best answer.

Answer 5

Wade is in the Finals, that helps. Plus he has single handedly won 2 games in the fourth quarter basically on his own.

...And Jacko, Shaq is past his prime, Williams is streaky, and Walker is hit-or-miss. I don't even know why you put Mourning's name there because when he scores 12 points in a game the announcers act like he scored 50, perhaps because he's a defensive player? I'm not sure, but I think, ya he averaged 7.8 ppg in the regular season. Nice try, though.

Answer 6

Limes and sour lemons. With all the heat stars who all shine in the limelight, it is easy for Wade to blend in and not become a single target. Wade has shown that when the pressure is on, he is a reliable vent. MJ took the same beating as Kobe.

Answer 7

George 1981 is really funny, he tryin to be tough online.. Relax George Michael, they aint gon make fun of u so just stop hitting on anybody here..

But heres what i got to say, so listen you dumbassed-trying-to-be-smart-punk! Kobe shoots more because he has to,and he aint got nobody else on the team, wade has Walker,Williams,Mourning,Shaq so he can freely just get the benefit of pacing himself,But if Kobe could be surrounded by gopod teammates he can up his level of play and the team for sure. And he is not built to play in a team, Just like MJ, he is built to dominate.. Id like to see ur sorry *** here in LA boy and lets see if u got game or ur all talk..

E-mail me and ill ball u up..

Answer 8

wow u got like the same mind as me because im sick and tired of ppl bullsh**ing on kobe when he takes too many shots now when wade does it every1 goes crazy. When kobe scored 81 ppl said he took too many shots if wade or lebron would of done it every1 would of gone crazy. im gettin sick and tired of ppl hatin on kobe becuase hes the best player in the league, wait let me rephrase that, the best player in the world

Answer 9

u answered it all in the additional details. Kobe did make a mistake or two sometime back but he is being hounded for it like anything. he is the best or among the best players in nba right now and people find it tough to accept this plain fact. surprising indeed

Answer 10

He only took 28 and was fouled 25? Hmm...I hate to complain...but this **** is rigged or the officials are totally incompetent....when is the NFL cranking up? geeeeee cheesy ****...Dampier could be a star in the NBA with officiating like this
