Duncan just won a national championship seven months ago. Of course, they're still high off the Spurs and Kobe is now an afterthought. Ask this question 10 years from now. This is no different than Miami winning the championship in 2013 and the world being ready to anoint him better than Jordan but in 2014 they fell back from that talk

You talking real tough for a guy who spent his life losing to Shaq/Kobe in the playoffs. The reason yall championships are far apart and never consecutive is because LA made life hard for yall

You also talking real tough for a guy who's was the 3rd best player on his squad last year. No Tony Parker hitting those graceful elegant finger rolls, no Khawi Leonard hustling all over the court making plays forcing turnovers, where are you

Oh yea....and who was the seven foot tall power forward who missed a wide open layup in Game 7
That what happens when you depend on washed up power forwards in the closing minutes. Thank god Tony and Khawi stepped it up last year
