Kobe averaged 28-6-5 and a steal against Duncan's teams in the playoffs. On 24 shots/game as the secondary focus for the defense.
Duncan averaged 25-14-4 and two blocks against Kobe's teams in the playoffs. On 19 shots/game as the primary focus for the defense.

Kobe won more series because he had Shaq on his team for 5 out of 6 of them, and no other reason. Everything about the Spurs' game plan was focused on trying to stop the most dominant player in the NBA, and everything in the Lakers' game plan was focused on trying to stop the best all-around big man in the NBA. Kobe was the guy that Pop let shoot as much as he wanted while he tried to get the ball out of Shaq's hands.


When Shaq left , Kobe beat their ass 4-1 in 2008 with 29/6/4. What about that?

That was one series where they both balled out. Kobe was guarded the whole time by a 36-year-old ready-to-retire Bruce Bowen and feasted. Duncan put up ridiculous stat lines, but that was the year his supporting cast started aging out (Bowen, Finley, Barry, Horry all ready to retire yet Bowen and Finley starting and Barry was their #4 scorer). And Ginobli had a shyt series. Parker should have feasted against Fisher but laid an egg the first two games. I give Kobe credit for shooting well in that series, but it doesn't define their careers.

Some of the lines Duncan put up:

30-18-2-2-4
22-21-5
29-17-3-3-3
19-15-10

That was the ONE time that Kobe faced Duncan without Shaq, even though he's been balling 13 years since then and the Spurs made at least the 2nd round in 11 of those years.




Ever since their Larry Holmes voltron flopped in 2012-13 they've gone full retard (even more so than before) :ahh:

And it sucks for them that that's been most of the time TheColi has been around.

That's why so many Kobestans have "4000 posts, 3000 daps, negative 2000 rep" stat lines. :lolbron:

The funniest part about that is how they think they're good posters and that daps and rep don't indicate a good poster from a shyt one :dead:
