Tim Duncan - The Best player since Jordan celebration thread.

[Goatpoacher]

This thread is about as reactionary as it gets

How is that? Wilt's been stanning Timmy for 20 years.

Kobe = 7 finals? Check
Kobe = a 3 peat? Check
Kobe = A 2nd 3 straight trips to finals? Check
Duncan = Wouldn't have won any Finals MVP if shaq was on his team either? - Check
Kobe = More years playing at a higher level? Check
Kobe = Didn't have 6 years of Obscurity? (2008 - 2012 like Duncan) - Check


Shall I go on?

The real question that nobody asks is where Gregg Popovich ranks among coaches.
Because the man won 5 titles, has taken his team to the playoffs 17 years in a row, and did it all without Kobe, MJ, Shaq and Scottie...like another coach who shall remain nameless.

And while I have A TON of respect for the LA and even root for them, let's not act like the refs didn't rob the Trailblazers (and possibly the Kings) of a title shot.

Anthony Davis has next.

U can make case for Pop being the greatest coach but the Blazers rob themselves while the Lakers would of swept the Kings if not for the refs(Game 2).

 

[storyteller]

You could make a case for Shaq, Kobe and Duncan as the best after MJ imo...I'd go Shaq though.

Tim Duncan is in a lane of his own he doesn't need to be compared to anybody else!

Yall dudes man I respect Duncan but he ain't better than kobe he wasn't even the best player on his team team he's not even a superstar anymore. Imagine if kobe won his 6 ring in the same role duncan won his 5 yall would be killing him saying he piggyback for another ring

 

[JYoung24]

Kobe had 5 years of obscurity and the Spurs got bit with the injury bug and lets keep 100, Pop's coaching was getting obsolete so he changed up his style slowly and quietly got some great pieces together. Leonard is a prime example of a great piece.

Kobes teams had 5 years of obscurity kobe individually hasnt he's either been the best player in the league or top 3 for like 13 or 14 seasons cant say the same about Duncan

 

[JYoung24]

I guess all Kobe needs to surpass Duncan is win another title averaging 15ppg and having someone else win finals MVP.

Basically lol

 

[JYoung24]

Get sonned multiple times in the playoffs by a player ur supposedly better than brehs

 

[Malta]

Get sonned multiple times in the playoffs by a player ur supposedly better than brehs

So Steve Nash is better than Kobe is what you're saying?

You dumb fukks make the worst arguments possible and often times shoot yourself in the foot doing it.

Well that's not gonna happen in the first place unless Kobe humbles himself like Duncan did and ALLOWS his coach to reduce his role.
