Duncan swept Shaq as well

Tim swept Shaq first in his 2nd year in the league en route to his first title

And Dream ain't better than Timmy either

Yeah Houston stans be on some bullshyt .

Deceiving record. The Spurs weren't really the Spurs yet. One lockout title aside.

Kobe has one win against them once Parker and Ginobili came into their own

So the Spurs weren't the Spurs even tho they were the #1 seed lol

Duncan from 99-03 was better than the 04-07 version of himself FYI

I always felt Kobe was expendable in LA

T-Mac
Vince
Pierce
A.I
Hotsauce
Gilbert Arenas etc could replace Kobe in LA (with Shaq) and still be the team to beat.

I go with the rarer find, which is Duncan. Much easier to find an explosive wing scoring shooting guard than it is finding a skillful big man who plays both sides of the court.

Spurs won 57 games without Duncan
Lakers collapsed without Kobe

Tracy McGrady was every bit as talented as Kobe Bryant.

The only difference between them is that Kobe had the fortune to play for Phil & with Shaq. And he didn’t suffer a major nagging injury in his prime.

Prime for Prime...Tmac and Kobe are basically equal.

Shaq by himself is worth all 4 of them.

Manu was 25 year old 2nd round pick.
Parker was a 19 year old nobody who went 28th.
Robinson was past his prime and hurt.
You didn’t even know who Kawhi Leonard was in 2014.



Though it speaks to the power of Duncan’s leadership and team basketball.

This is one of the worst post ever. My god just an awful take.

Which lets me know when you base a team around a great player like Duncan it makes other players great. TD has Parker, Ginobli and Kobe had Smush and Kwame.

Duncan was the product of a great system

Never won without 3-4 other hall of famers on his teams

Well if that were case why was he drafted #1 overall from Wake Forest? And when did he ever play without 3-4 other hall of famers on his team?

What system is this?
You think the 2014 Spurs played the same way as the 99 Spurs?

[Dwight Howard]

One guy won 5 titles over 2 decades and had almost an endless number of offensive and defensive schemes built around him...

The other guy is Kobe Bryant...

Should be a no brainer...

Timmy couldnt beat kobe when it mattered most. Spurs killer

 

[Dwight Howard]

Easily Duncan.

Wouldn't even take a prime Kobe over Dirk

Timmy couldnt beat kobe when it mattered most. Spurs killer

Timmy has more finals MVPs than Kobe when it mattered most.

And Kobe never won without Phil
