don't really see how this is controversial at all. Tim is the best PF ever and one of the best big men to ever do it.

a young Tim Duncan was going toe to toe with the same Shaq who was not only one of the most dominant players ever, but also the same Shaq who Kobe was a clear 2nd fiddle to; and holding his own


If you switch their two situations, Duncan probably has like 7 rings right now and Kobe has MAYBE 1.

Well, Duncan is ahead of Kobe, this isn't anything new. Not a slight on Kobe, Duncan is that good simply.

Fistful of jewels
Gimme Timmy in a no contest...

Has been a top 10 scorer

Has been a top 10 rebounder

Has been a top 10 shot blocker

Plus if you take Kobe, well...don't you also need Phil to coach him and another Hall of Fame big man to play with Kobe...unless you just trying to be the 8th seed or not make the playoffs

So uh, what exactly has Duncan done without Pimples? And last I checked,

But yea, do tell how many times the Lakers were the number 1 seed and lost in the first round.

I do agree that Duncan's career so far is better than Kobe's.

That 1 extra MVP and Finals MVP carries a lot of weight.

Do you agree that Duncan has been fortunate enough to play for a consistently good/great team for his whole career? He never had the misfortune of going through what Kobe did in 04-07

That's what hurts Kobe. His prime was wasted on bad teams.

this is retarded. Where did you come up with 7 rings? Where did you come up with 1 ring? Oh and @Malta, how come there's no deduction in Duncan's career for all these years he's choked as a top seed?


2009 playoffs as 3rd seed lost to 6th seed Mavs

2011 playoffs, lost as the NUMBER 1 seed to the Grizzlies

2012 playoffs, lost as number 1 seed to the number 2 Thunder. Dropped 4 straight games

So you're telling me if Duncan had Kobe's roster, he would do so much better when in fact he's been number 1 seed numerous times and choked against lower seeded teams? :patrice:

So please, tell me how Duncan's career is so much better? Please tell me how he hasn't been 2nd option since 2007 while Kobe has been number 1 option since 2005. Please tell me how Kobe has CONSISTENTLY abused Duncan led teams throughout his career.

Y'all are :troll: or nah?
