"Wade is better because if your argument is Harden is better in all these situations until it matters most, and then Wade is better, those games are higher leverage," Kellerman said. "They're worth more. If you're better in those games, then you're better, period. So Wade is better than Harden."

Then, Kellerman brought up Kobe Bryant . Essentially, he made the case that Bryant held an edge over Wade because of his height.
