When Wade is healthy, he's a preimer player. The problem is can he stay it. If he can, he's easily a top 10 player in the league.

offensively, yes Wade has been a better player than Kobe in the olympics

But Kobe has had a better overall impact on the team in getting gold

Wade is good but he lacks creativity like bron. Well they are still young, but they are nowhere near kobe.

Is this a comedy central topic?...

Wade is a great player, and when healthy he plays like the MVP from the 2006 Finals. I just don't see him as ever being better than Kobe. There were several great players that were awesome like Clyde Drexler and Dominique Wilkins, as well as Magic that were legendary players, but many would argue that none of them could be what MJ was.

To me it's history repeating itself. There are players like LeBron and Wade that are great athletes, but they're not Kobe. What Kobe has is something that you can't learn from a basketball camp or a skills trainer, it's that knowledge and ability to sense the timing of a game, as well as the level of fear an opponent has. The work ethic and killer instinct that Kobe brings his unmatched. Kobe showcases regularly that he can do things that no-one else can do on the court, and once again proved it on the biggest stage of the Olympics. Kobe's in his prime right now, and this team is extremely lucky to have this guy on the team.
