Duncans career has been brilliant... id have to give him the lead over Kobe now
Tim Duncan - The Best player since Jordan celebration thread.
- Thread starter Malta
- Start date
I'm not mad .Salute to the greatest power forward ever, but Kobe has played on a higher level for a longer period of time than Duncan. Plus Kobe has scorched the spurs time and time again and has the edge in head to head matchups.
Love the spurs for ending the Heats reign
I guess all Kobe needs to surpass Duncan is win another title averaging 15ppg and having someone else win finals MVP. 
oh word?
Still waiting for the best player since Jordan to win back to back finals mvps
Never missed the playoffs
Who misses the playoffs in their prime? We gonna act like the Lakers didn't get the 10th pick in 05
Win a title in 3 decades, or even more difficult, finish a full season
Gotta repeat though
All things considered, if you wanted to call Duncan an equal I wouldn't beef too hard.
That being said, I like Duncan.
I HATE LEBRON AND HE ISN'T ON EITHER OF THEIR LEVELS NOR WILL HE EVER REACH THEM.
There ain't no equals, more individual awards and equal team success makes him better, the only thing you dudes had to hold over Duncan was the ring count, that's it.

Stop.
Duncan is the third best player on his team right now. You acting like Duncan put up 26 and 12 out there. Don't make people not want to give Duncan props tonight with threads like these.

Well Kobe is gonna pass Michael Jordan on the all time scoring list next year
Also, there is the playoff head to head record between them
Furthermore, Kobe repeated as a champion and three peated.
Also more All NBA selections. Kobe was an elite and top 5 player for longer than Duncan ever was.
There is a compelling argument for both but I think that Kobe's teams legitimately dominating the league for years consecutive puts him above Tim and his play at the top for a long time.
ALL That being said, Duncan is the second goat bigman ever
Kobe!
Kobe = 7 finals, Duncan = 6
Kobe = Lost finals MVP to a top 10 player all time, Duncan = Lost it to 2 players not in the top 50 all time
Kobe = a 3 peat
Kobe = Went to finals 3 times in a row, TWICE..
Kobe = won 3 titles in a row, 2 titles in a row... Duncan has NEVER defended his title
Duncan = had 5 years of obscurity even with Parker / Ginobli / Pop .... Kobe = Had 2 to 3 years of obscurity with No Phil / Smush Parker / Kwami brown
Where is the disconnect coming in for you fakkits?
LOL

How about going 7/22 in in a must win game six in 2008
And getting blown out by 39

NOPE
Last title was almost 5 years ago
Dirk got a winning record vs Kobe in the playoffs, we gonna give him a bump in the rankings for that?
Sorry that you put such a well thought out reply together but I ain't trying to hear it, the debate is DONE. The door is closed, I used to be rational about it, but I'm done being rational, more mvps, more final mvps, higher team winning percentage, never missed the playoffs.
