kobe has never lost in the first round as a #1 seed Duncan has
let's give duncan a pass on that considering his team was injured. In turn we'll give kobe a pass for the 08 finals

Duncan lost to a lower seed 5 times and lost two series after being up 2-0.
fukk outta here.
While Duncan's never had a teammate as good as Shaq, he's also never had teams as bad as some of Kobe's. Duncan's also had the benefit of having Pop coaching the Spurs during his entire career. The Spurs as an organization have been the epitome of consistency too.
Besides Phil, Kobe's had Del Harris, Kurt Rambis, Frank Hamblen, Rudy T, Mike Brown and the proud owner of the worst coaching performance in NBA history, Mike D'Antoni as coaches. During Phil's 11 seasons as coach, Kobe went to 7 Finals and won 5. Not a bad ratio.
I think everyone already has their mind made up of who has been the better player between the two, regardless of what happens in the Finals. Kobe gets the nod to me because he's had a longer run of sustained excellence. He's never had a dip in his production, while dealing with a lot more turmoil and coaching changes than Duncan ever had to go through.

Duncan Stans said forever that Kobe's first 3 titles didnt count because shaq was the best player but somehow this counts when Parker has been the best player on the spurs the last few years

You sound downright stupid
Jordan got all you fatherless nikkas fukked up. He won without an all star big. Great. He played with an all star small forward though. LeBron and Wade before LeBron and Wade. Except with the leadership roles switched. Nobody winning shyt without another star player. Nobody.

Are nikkas really just ignoring his 4 - 2 record playoff record against Duncan? He beat him 3 times with Shaq and once without. And he absolutely destroyed the Spurs in most of those series. Spurs fans know this better than anybody else. When he dropped 45 on that ass as young fro Kobe he's owned their soul since.
