I can care less about that, look at this statement which is what I been telling guys like @Malta

People write all the time about how your emergence as a jump-shooting big man — and your team’s success — literally changed the NBA. Do you ever think about your career in terms like that?

I don't really think that way. Honestly, when I first got in the league, it was a lot of back-to-the-basket pounding. Charles [Barkley] would back the ball in for 15 seconds. Over the years, the game has changed, with me spreading the floor, and now almost every team has to have a spread [power forward]. Almost no one plays with two bigs anymore. And obviously they changed the rules — they put in the five-second back-down rule, and you can play zone. The game changed. There's more movement and teams playing together instead of just one-on-one pounding. There is still some of that, but the game has become European again. More five guys, more movement.

i don't recall kobe and tim playing 1 on 1.

The lakers beat the spurs plenty of times however

i'm more than sure Tim had better teams than Kobe

Lakers beat Tim in 5 in 09, easy money

Tim always had Manu/Tony(Finals MVP) on his squad

Kobe had Ariza/Odom :bryan:
