Internet debate. Nobody argued this back in the day.

Its purely driven by people's hatred towards Kobe.

You can deduce this by asking why Duncan is never compared to other top 10 players like Jordan, Kareem, Magic, Bron.

You're ignoring the fact that they (Kobe/Tim) were contemporaries, drafted one year apart.

This is a settled debate the same way MJ being the GOAT is. Duncan is ahead of kobe on the all time list and only hard-core kobe stans disagree

Timmy is widely regarded as a top 5 player all time, only mj,kareem,LeBron and magic rank higher than him

This is nowhere as clear cut as you're making it.

Kobe stans are pathetic

Yall stay trying to rewrite history when it comes to this nikka

This stupid shyt was over the minute Kobe admitted he was jealous of Tim.

Thread belongs in the bushes.

OF COURSE KOBE WAS JEALOUS… HE’S ESSENTIALLY CLAIMING THAT TIM HAD MORE HELP/NEVER HAD TO PLAY ON SCRUB TEAMS

IF U WERENT REMEDIAL, YOU’D BE ABLE TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND UNDERSTAND THAT HE’S SAYING “IF I HAD TIM’S SUPPORT THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, ID HAVE WAY MORE RINGS THAN I CURRENTLY DO”


LOL .. GENIUS

 

[Sccit]

Yeah, it's clearly Duncan. Anyone with a functional and rational brain KNOWS that for a fact. Only Kobe stans and mentally ill Lakers fans would disagree.

ITS FUNNY HOW HE DIDNT EVEN SAY WHO HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND U AUTOMATICALLY KNEW

 

[Sccit]

Kobe is the 2nd greatest at his position. Tim is the greatest PF ever. So it's that simple

DO YOU HAVE DUNCAN OVER SHAQ? WILT? HAKEEM? RUSSELL?

 

[Sccit]

From the year Duncan was drafted, Spurs won 50 games how many times consecutively?

*And the one time they didn't was the lockout year/shortened season.

That's due to who?

TD was just a consistently great player.

YOU GIVE KOBE THAT TEAM + SYSTEM FOR HIS ENTIRE PRIME AND HE HAS 7-8 RINGS MINIMUM

REMEMBER, KOBE SPENT SOME OF HIS BEST YEARS ON SCRUB TEAMS

HENCE THE COMMENT “IM JEALOUS OF TIMMY”

Duncan still looked like the better player more often than not. Duncan sent the Kobe-Shaq combo home twice. A sweep in 1999 and a 4-2 in 2003 when Kobe/Shaq were both in their prime and Duncan had a teenage Tony Parker as his #2. Kobe only sent Duncan home once without Shaq and that was 2008 when the Spurs were only about 3 deep and Manu got hurt.

Kobe-Shaq had 3 wins against weak-ass Duncan teams with almost no help and injuries.








Kobe wasn't doing jack shyt with those early Spurs teams. You need to look at how thin those lineups actually were, without Duncan holding shyt down in the middle on both ends they wouldn't have had a chance.

Tony Parker wasn't even on the team until he came as a teenager in '02 and wasn't at an all-star level until '06. Before then he was just an average point guard especially considering his defensive limitations. Manu came as a rookie in '03 and wasn't an all-star until '05.

A Parker-Kobe-Manu lineup would struggle because none of them is scoring that efficiently in the 2000s and Kobe would have to carry all the weight on defense which he stopped doing around '01.

GEE U DIDNT VOTE FOR KOBE?

COLOR ME SHOCKED!

It wasn't "regular". During the Shaq-Kobe years they went 3-2 against the Spurs with Duncan not having a sidekick or lineup anything close to the Lakers' level.

Pop said his strategy was to focus on getting the ball out of Shaq's hands and leave Kobe single-covered hoping he'd shoot them out of the game. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but it's the main reason Kobe had crazy FGA in those series.

The only year 1999-2004 where Kobe clearly looked like the best player on the court was 2001 and that was when Duncan had his WOAT lineup (due to injuries, career bench player Antonio Daniels was forced to be Duncan's #2 AND guard Kobe on the other end).

Duncan was the best player in '99, '02, and '03 and in '04 Duncan had been dealing with injuries and still played them pretty much even.

 

[Sccit]

Duncan wasn't a complete player and Kobe was?

In his prime Duncan was the Spurs' dominant scorer (both inside and outside), rebounder, defender, on-court leader, and the guy they ran their offense through. Claiming he wasn't a complete player is wild.






Breh you talk like you weren't even around the Spurs until the 2010s.


There was NO question who the best Spur was from 1998-2008. Most of those years Timmy was an MVP candidate and they didn't even have another all-star around him.

WHAT ARE KOBES WEAKNESSES?

So you think his fg% and 3 point % is all time great?

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Context he hit shots when it mattered

That doesn't negate whether his %'s are all-time or not.
