By the time Dwyane Wade was getting ready to enter his prime, Kobe was already established as a superstar and multi-time champion in the league. However, this didn’t stop the young guard from taking it to him every chance he got.
One of Wade’s most impressive outings against Kobe came in 2007. While the Lakers went on to beat the Heat that night, he was still nothing short of dominant. Wade finished that game with 35 points, five rebounds, eight assists and four steals
A year later, Wade would drop 35 points on Kobe Bryant again. The only difference was this time that the Heat would also pick up a win against the Lakers.
