Dwyane Wade Says Kobe Is Greatest Player In His Era

By Kastanova - 02-15-2013, 01:14 PM - Boxden > BX SportsCenter

Dwyane Wade has been playing with LeBron James for two and a half seasons now, and has been to the NBA Finals two years in a row with James. This season, LeBron is having one of the most impressive seasons in NBA history, and looks to be well on his way to his fourth Most Valuable Player award.

But at All-Star media day, Wade said it was Kobe Bryant, not James, that’s the greatest player of his era.

“When you look back at this era there’s going to be a lot of players that you can pick from. You can talk about their greatness. This is a good era for basketball, and it would be led by Kobe Bryant – who was the greatest player in our era.”

This comes on the heels of Michael Jordan’s comments that he would take Kobe over LeBron because of Bryant’s five championships. While Wade certainly didn’t mean any disrespect to James, it’s a sign of admiration for Bryant’s accomplishments that he would indicate Kobe as the generation’s greatest talent.

Wade will face off with Bryant once again in the All-Star game on Sunday.

He is. Five rings, 7 finals appearances in 10 years. The numbers speak for themselves.

The real question is, is his era really over, or is the media and NBA trying to "force" a LeBron era upon us?

Honestly, they don't have to try very hard because LeBron is doing some pretty amazing !! right now. What Kobe manages to still do is amazing but that torch has passed.

I think that's why LeBron stans hate Kobe so much. The potency of Kobe's greatness is stealing some of LeBron's shine.

I concur. They want him to retire and be out of the picture, so no one else's legecy can shade his...
