btw when Pop took over, he was never considered a top coach. Even after they won the chip in '99.

From the 2003 NBA gm survey
Oct: 16: Who is the best head coach in the NBA?
Phil Jackson - 38.5%
Larry Brown - 26.9%
Rick Adelman - 7.7%
Pat Riley - 7.7%
Jerry Sloan - 7.7%
Doug Collins - 3.8%
Nate McMillan - 3.8%
Flip Saunders - 3.8%

That's cause the Spurs drafted well

Got a hall of famer in the 2nd round and got another one at the end of the 1st

The Lakers continuously whiffed on picks or gave em away.

you think HOFers aren't made? You just get lucky and draft one? That being a HOFer isn't a product of coaching, teammates, mentality?

4-3...Kobe ducked Duncan in 2013 (I ain't buying that Achilles nonsense :demonicabel:smile:, but that series L still goes on his resume :troll:

Smart move by Kobe to miss the playoffs to close out his career so Duncan can't even up that head-to-head :mjcry:
Duncan missed the 2000 playoffs due to injury. He wasn't part of that series.

If I had to choose which career is easily choose Kobe's over Duncan. Better bytch, better location, less sacrifice, and more money. Kobe is also more popular making him a bigger icon.


This sounds nice in theory, until you realize Duncan has consistently won and been in the playoffs while in the years after Shaq's exit Kobe was struggling to keep the lakers afloat.

ask any basketball veteran whether they would have preferred their careers play out stress free like duncan's, or drama filled like Kobe's.

people just need to accept the fact that while kobe was a great player. he just had a really good career. not great, just really really good.

so of course it's not going to compare to certain players. Bill Russel (who else really compares) MJ (he struggled initially to get past the lakers,celtics,pistons, but once he did he never really faltered)
and of course tim duncan who has been on a great team from his rookie year to his last(whenever that is.)

but hey there's great players that had really bad careers like tracy mcgrady.
and great players who had disappointing careers like karl malone, chuck, iverson etc.

so kobe is still in that top tier. he's just at the bottom of that top tier.
