Nothing wrong with a healthy debate but I do agree with the poster who said they are not held to the same standard. Duncan isn't held to same standard as other superstars like LeBron too. People call Bron, LeBronze but Duncan was the one leading that team and got a Bronze too. Kobe shoots 6-24 in game 7 of a Finals. Duncan goes 10-28 in a game 7 of a Finals and no one brings that up or criticizes it. Dude is Teflon Don. That's actually pretty impressive.

Its not about whos the better player. People debate whos had the better legacy.
Na its bout shytting on kobe.
Majority of posters went all of hs & middleschool with him dominating.
If bron won nikkas woulda been Bron>>>Kobe. Shyt nikkas was screaming that garbage in bron fourth season.

It comes down to childhood memories and legacies being ruined. He outlasted the A.I,Vc,Tmacs. These bums pretending like they care about Timmy.

Lets be real carrying a team as a perimeter player>Big Man.

14x All-Star
5x NBA Champion
3x NBA Finals MVP
2x NBA League MVP
1x All-Rookie
1x Rookie Of The Year

54 total awards/honors/accolades so far in his career


It's very close, but Tim Duncan has the more decorated career:manny:


It's okay to call a spade a spade sometime brehs.........Tim Duncan has the better resume. Kobe CAN surpass him again, but as of now, Tim Duncan has the more decorated career:yeshrug:


Kobe is/was the greater player, but Tim Duncan wins the "achievements" portion



*edit*


I forgot about Kobe's Gold medals. They are even and it's still up to debate:manny:


I prefer Kobe and others may prefer Tim Duncan


Use the Olympics but neglect Tim Duncan's Naismith National College Player of the year award brehs :russ:

Hey, nikkas dont wanna give Duncan the edge breh:heh:


I gave Duncan the edge, but the Olympics were brought up by others:russ:


Me personally, I think Duncan has the more decorated career in the NBA, which is all that matters imo. Olympics is international competition, while the NBA is the best competition in the world. Tim Duncan has the edge there and for that reason, career wise, Tim Duncan > Kobe Bryant.


Both are legends though and people shouldnt be so upset about Duncan catching up, he is the GOAT Big Man since the Merger while I have Kobe as the 2nd best Wing player:manny:

Not to mention that Kobe is 3-2 head to head in the playoffs, kobe won chips with less talent than duncan has had, and duncan was not the best player in at least 2 of those finals
Kobe is shytted on for not getting finals mvp playing with Shaq but Duncan gets away with it the last 2 finals.

Duncan has choked numerous times in the playoffs. With the talent he has had around him he should have gone to the finals in 2004, 2006, 2008. All those early round exists while having Parker and Manu on his team :russ:

He would be at 6 championships if he did not choke on that wide open layup when he backed down Battier :beli:

:dafuq: Orlando should've gotten swept. LMFAO @ them winning a series in which they got waxed outside of game 4 and the OT game in game 2
only real blow out game was game 1. SVG's dumbass put Jameer back in the lineup. We should have lost game 2 if Courtney Lee didn't miss that layup at the buzzer. Go watch how we won game 4 again.

and look at Lakers Lineup.
1)Bynum on 1 knee(torn meniscus).
2)Pau vs Dwight b4 back injury.
3)Look at our bench :mjlol:

Fidh Gawd won game 4 with clutch play.

Bynum and Pau locked D Howard down. Phil said either before or after the series that coward wouldn't be a factor at all.
