*No jinx*If Timmy wins his 5th ship can we put him ahead of Kobe as....

[AlldayNE]

Shouldn't all teams put together the best team possible? What you're saying is, is that its a bad thing Kobe had to kick the Lakers fo in the ass to make a quality team. Why is that a knock against him again?

What I'm saying is, that I prefer the way the Spurs did it, just like I prefer the way OKC put together their team, over the way Miami got their team. Not that either way was bad, just that kobe wanted to be traded. Dont put words in my mouth that I didn't say

So then what you're really doing is crediting Duncan for something the front office did. Can you explain how the front office dealings affect their ranking? Whether Kobe told his front office to step their game up is irrelevant when Duncan was moments away from signing with Orlando to join Hill and BrokeBac.

Still kinda wish that Duncan/T-Mac team coulda happened. Them two vs Kobe and Shaq woulda been some fun finals matchups, or if Duncan had been drafted by the celtics thereby giving them an actual argument on GOAT franchise status, I'm glad he chose to stay with the soft delicate san antonio skirts. He wouldn't be as obviously beneath Kobe as he is now.

Arguing Duncan - Kobe is like arguing religion. Nobody's minds will be changed.

The ether would be strong though for the few people still holding onto Shaq over Duncan.

If Shaq would of listened to Kobe a little more he wouldn't have that problem.

Duncan may have had a better career, but everybody knows who was the better player on the court in their Prime.

The Kobe-Duncan argument is just dumb though. Kobe has been a dominant player nearly every season of his generation. Duncan, not so much.

he might even get 6 next year

duncan for the last couple of years was barely a top-10 big man, suddenly he's been better than kobe, a top-5 players for over a decade?

laughable.

No he wasn't... That's what the media told you. Kobe's complaint came from his mouth. He publicly stated that he wanted to be traded, there's a difference.

you're kidding yourself.

 

[BreezyH]

last i checked, duncan is the best of all time at his position, while kobe...

in 2011 were better than him. I'm probably missing a few more.

13/9 are solid big man numbers, that's it.

 

[Brandsdale]

so when it comes to Kobe, it matter that he plays with Shaq and doesnt have more than 2 Finals MVP


but Duncan putting up 13 and 11, and nobody seems to care about his contribution smh

nikkas act like Duncan isn't doing anything but yet he's pulling 12+ rebounds a game this series. Even had 14 in game 3

He's the best PF of all time, comparing to Kobe is different because they play different positions and Kobe is a needed scorer while Tim is better defensively

you're kidding... none of these have ever been on the same level as Duncan. Bosh, Z-bo, and Amare can't play no damn defense. You're talking 2011, we're talking careers here. Lakers fans have been complaing about Pau Gasol for the last 3 years.

That's what the media told me eh? You know what else the media said? They said Kobe raped a girl, ran Shaq out of town, doesn't trust his teammates, etc etc.
