Wade is soooooooooooo much better.

That's nice, but there are more advanced and better evaluative statistics available than how many points per game a guy gets (which is mostly a product of shots per game) and how many times a guy has been selected on a defensive team.

Over the last five years, Dwyane Wade has put up a higher PER than Kobe Bryant in every season except 2007-2008, a higher TS% than Kobe Bryant in every season except 2007-2008, a higher eFG% than Kobe Bryant in every season except 2007-2008, a better ORtg in every season except 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 (a tie), a better DRtg in every season except 2007-2008, more win shares in every season except 2007-2008, and a higher win share per 48 minute rate in every season except 2007-2008.
Wade had an injury filled and all-around poor season in 2007-2008, the season in which he had knee surgery. Other than that, though, there's no question which player has been better over this time. That would be Wade.
