Tim Duncan is the only "HOF" who played with other all stars his whole career.

[Bilz]

The Lakers were surrounding this fakkit with talent his whole career. It's his own fault for not playing his cards better.

 

[Dwight Howard]

All these kobe stans sick Kobe going to end his career being the laughing stock of the nba and Dungawd is going to win 50 more games a year and make the playoffs every year for a minimum of 4 more years

Doesn't it hurt watching your Idol not even be able to draw iron on all of his jumpshots

Doesn't it hurt watching Duncan and the Spurs be the second best team in the NBA while the media is trying to hype up the lakers and the 76ers game and you can't even tell which one of them is the worst team in the nba

Don't it hurt when you see insert scrub player here wave off a pick so he can iso kobe one on one with the face

Doesn't it hurt to see insert random wing defender here lock kobe up without even breaking a sweat

Just fukking pathetic ...how in the blue fukk does a jumpshot end with kobe bryant down on all fours crawling on his hands and knees

Oh dear gawd when Kawhi Leonard gets ahold of this washed up chuckin ass nikka

gonna be the last thing the black garter snake so before it gets choked out and tossed in the trash

All this typing and kobe still >>> duncan. Hell Kobe could have retired 3 years ago and that still woulda been the case.theres a reason kobe has 10x the influence of duncan. There's a reason he's your favorite players favorite player..

 

[Taadow]

And Magic and Bird played with stars their entire careers (im not counting magics abbreviated 95 season).

...and so did Barkley, Mailman, Dumars, Rodman...just off top.

So yeah, this thread title is wrong.

Because most people are idiots that care more about flash then substance.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Have to announce that you're retiring during the season cause you're flabby n sick and Tim Duncan's age is higher than your FG% bruhs

Tobe literally had to retire because he was embarrassing himself with his performance at age 37. Meanwhile Duncan was busy shooting 54% with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 achilles in the playoffs at age 39.

Duncans had the better organization but when it really counts kobe

I know that is why Shaq wanted to play with him...oh wait...

I know that is why Pau stayed wit him...oh wait...

I know that is why Howard stayed in LA...oh wait...

I know that is why Aldridge gave LA two visits during free agency and ...oh wait...

I know that is why him and Melo are so close and he was whispering sweet nothings in Melo ear so Melo could...oh wait...

from David Robinson, to Toilet Paper and Manu, to Kawhi Leonard and Lamarcus Aldrige.

Not to mention the second greatest coach in NBA history.

Dude hasnt won a finals MVP in 10 yaers, the last time he was the best player on his team.

good point.. in the past 11 years.. Duncan has averaged 20ppg just once... Kobe in the past 15 years only one time he averaged less.

 

[JohnD]

lets just talk about the other all stars on the team. shaq, gasol, howard >>>> manu, parker any way u slice it.
Duncan had parker to go up against top 5 talent shaq and kobe. who do u think had more help there?? he didn't throw a fit either, he just got better and beat them in 03 with a bunch of role players.

I don't even count aldridge or kawhi because they came way late into duncans career. Duncans about to be 40 and kawhi will make his first allstar game this year and they just got aldridge.

looking at points like its the end all be all. Kobe jacks up more than 20+ shots a game. Duncan shoots way less. these past 10 years its 15 and under with each year going down. so of course kobe should average more points. also with the 3pt shot being what it is. the number that matters is the fg%. Duncan still hits the 50% mark even right now nearing 40.

Ehh he's been a game manager last 10 years... Kobe's peak is exponentially better & it's not up for debate

 

[Goatpoacher]

If you're a basketball fan and have some ability to reason with sophistication, you will realize that Duncan's greatness partially lies in his ability to allow his teammates to be all-star caliber. That's not a mark against him you stupid ingrate. Your mother is a diseased whore with cerebral palsy, and your father actually married up.
