[ThiefyPoo]

nikka wasnt even the best on his team

 

[#1 pick]

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

Dirk is the realist since Kumbayah. Plus he wifed a sista so that gives him more cred than any white man when it comes to basketball.

Kobe a SG and dropped damn near 50 points and just a few rebounds short of 20 on Tim Duncan in the playoffs.

Stop hating fakkit

48 points 16 boards at age 22

plus he's yammed on Timmy more than anyone else in the league......nikka been baptised about 10 times by Kobe
