Who would you rather build around ,prime Kobe or prime Tim Duncan?

[Ohms Law]

Prime Garnett.

 

[Jesus]

A prime Tim Duncan today would dominate with ease and would be very easy to build around.

 

[klientel]

Way to easy to build around Prime Timmy...

U could literally throw together anything and it would work with him.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Prime Garnett.

 

[Mandizi]

TD

Wrong...Duncan benefited from going to the Spurs & learning from an NBA great David Robinson. He was just as raw as Kobe was at first. He also benefited from college & a great coach in Popivich. You place Duncan on any other team (other than the Lakers) & he's Patrick Ewing all over again.

With that said...if we are talking right now in this current league... I'd take Kobe all day b/c of how the game is now played.

I'll take the boring guy with the fukked up hairline.

& he's Patrick Ewing all over again.

You type this like Patrick Ewing wasn't a first ballot HOF or one of the 10 best C's in NBA history.

Better than being Kwame Brown

And who exactly is Kobe if you put him on any other team other than the Spurs? Kobe ain't the guy to use the organization argument for.

at him being just as raw as Kobe at first. Rookie of the Year just as raw as a 8 ppg scorer who couldn't start?

Not to mention Patrick Ewing would dominate a league minus MJ, Dream and Shaq.

only a fakkit kobe hating cac would pick swagless Duncan. The same Duncan that has always played with HOFs his whole career

Kobe has owned Duncan's soul throughout their careers. Give Kobe Duncan's supporting cast and Kobe has 8 rings by now.

Playing with Tony and Manu your whole career is a blessing.

So kobe is winning rings with:

An old ass aging david robinson with a tmac back?
A rookie tony parker who was replaced in the finals by speedy claxton.
A raw manu ginoboli who plays the same position as kobe?
Malik Rose?
Rashhhhhhhhhhhhhhho Nestervich?
etc..etc..

you in

I dont agree with any of this

but cantstop is an all time poster

 

[Mandizi]

Kobe has played with HOF's throughout his whole career too.

I didn't know Duncan played with Manu and Parker during the '99 title run.
