Is a Spurs/Heat Finals a Kobe-stan worst nightmare?

[Remix]

Spurs win and Timmy gets his 5th, with about a 50% chance of a FMVP depending on how well he plays compared to Parker. It will be hard to continue making the Kobe > Duncan argument on All-Time lists.

Heat win and Lebron is obviously gonna win the FMVP too, pushing him closer to top 10, maybe entering the top 10 (gtfo trolls who think he'll jump all the way into the top 6-8.)

My guess is that they will root for the Spurs but continue the Kobe > Duncan argument.

[RRR3]

I thought you were a Kobe fan...

[Droid101]

Tony Parker has been playing way better than Tim Duncan the whole playoffs.

[Fox]

Agree, it's a lose-lose situation for Kobe stans.

In other words, it's hilarious :roll:

[tmacattack33]

Duncan is ahead of Kobe regardless. So kobe fans are probably rooting for San Antonio over Miami.

its kind of funny and i think its a fad to compare any dick & Harry to Kobe these days....

been there...done that...Iverson...TMac....V Carter...to blah blah to blah blah

[Remix]

I thought you were a Kobe fan...
I like Kobe, but it's mainly because my first memories were the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. I was a bigger Shaq fan, but I didn't follow it as closely until around 07/08 when Shaq was just a shell of himself. Sometimes I'll defend Kobe when people claim he was legit "carried" by Shaq, claiming that any all-star guard could have done what Kobe did in 01 and 02 which isn't true. However, I don't believe Kobe is top 5 or even better than Shaq in terms of career.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

I really couldn't give less of a f*ck about arbitrary rankings by some people on Insidepoops. I don't care who wins between MIA and SA and I'm the biggest Kobe stan on Insidepoops.

[imnew09]

Lol? This is the type of threads that make Kobe fans look bad.

I would love to see Timmy to win his 5th ring before he retires because he is such a player in this decade :bowdown:

[Kiddlovesnets]

I am not sure for this. Duncan is ranked higher than Kobe on all time list with or without this fifth ring, its not even a question. Sure a 5th ring will shut even the hardest Kobestan down, but its not really that necessary. For Lebron its a different story, I can see Kobestan rooting for Spurs for this reason.
:lol

if that's true you probably have a personal kobe shrine with a big bottle of lotion and tissues nearby.

Yeah cause that is lesser of two evils not letting Lebron get another one.

Lotta dudes you see on here aren't real Kobe fans. They're just playing up a character for jokes on a forum. They aren't Kobe stans, they're just f@ggots. There's a big difference.

[imnew09]

I would love to see Lebron to seek revenge against the Spurs after what happened in the Final. It will be a good series that I'm really longing for :cheers:

I feel the same way on how Bryant fans talk about him for the most part. There's like only 1 Bryant fan who completely trashes Duncan.

Meh the Lakers/Spurs rivalry has always been great, nothing but respect there. Only Spur I ever hated was that bitch Bruce Bowen.

[Sharmer]

Forget TD > Kobe, Parker >Kobe

[Legends66NBA7]

Yeah, it was my favourite matchup in the 00s; Lakers vs Spurs.

I liked Bowen, actually. But yeah, he was a bitch when under players legs.

[Droid101]

Not to real basketball fans. Only to the Kobe Haters and LeBron/Wade stans.

[coin24]

Nah only Kobe haters give a shit about that. Always trying to diminish his greatness. Get a life dipshits..

I think it will be a great finals series, go spurs!:cheers:

[Yao Ming's Foot]

If Spurs win ... Parker likely takes home the MVP and is a lock HOFer. The mantra of winning a tiltle as a #2 option or non Finals MVP not counting becomes even more ridiculous. Its one thing to knock a player for not being better than prime Shaq but quite another to not be better than Tony Parker. :confusedshrug:

[Kiddlovesnets]

Not to real basketball fans. Only to the Kobe Haters and LeBron/Wade stans.

[TheBigVeto]

Good point. I guess I have to root against the Pacers, even though it would also be funny if the Pacers beat the Heat (it will guarantee to piss David Stern off).

[Sharmer]

[Doranku]

I would love to see Tiimmy and company dust the floor with all of those scumbags in Miami.

Never seen a team that is literally completely filled with unlikable players.

LeBrick "Given not Earned" James, D-Whistle, Bosh's f@ggot ass, Judas Shuttlesworth, Roidshard Lewis, Drug addict Andersen, and worst of all Shane Battier. :facepalm

Doesn't get ANY worse than that.

[jstern]

I think they would prefer the Spurs to win since Tim Duncan ranking will be hurt by the average fan, new fans thinking he's boring and unexcited. So they would much rather see Lebron not win another one.

For example, in almost everyone's top ten Tim Duncan is always ahead of Kobe, but yet a couple of months ago somebody made a thread that asked if Duncan wins another championship this year, will he be ahead of Kobe in the All Time list. It was a dumb question and many people didn't even flinch accepting it as a fact.

[Magic 32]

Kobe fans love Timmy D

:rockon:

Class act. Everything Lebron/Wade is not.

[Jacks3]

I don't really understand threads like these. Nothing that happens in the Finals will change Kobe's legacy as one of the greatest players and winners of of All-Time. A legend. The best SG in history not named Jordan.

Deal with it. :pimp:

How does a series that Kobe isn't participating in affect him at all? ISH logic :facepalm

Duncan is already higher on the GOAT rankings than Kobe.

LeBron isn't ... YET. So Kobe stans will be rooting for Duncan.

God damn ****ing Shane Battier. If I was Vogel, I'd definitely put in one of my goons to take him out. Might be the dirtiest player in the NBA.

[d.bball.guy]

Possible Spurs vs Heat Finals...let's talk about Kobe stans :facepalm

But yeah, it is :lol

[leMVP]

Duncan getting his 5th ring is the lesser concern.

Lebron getting his 2nd ring/Fmvps will put them on suicide watch.

Why? :confusedshrug:

Lebron will equal Kobe's legacy, 2 rings and 2 Fmvps.

with already 4 mvps and domination of the current era no one sane enough to say kobe> lebron except kobe stans.

[Deuce Bigalow]

This whole season has been a nightmare other than watching Kobe individually tbh.

[Heavincent]

Lebron will equal Kobe's legacy, 2 rings and 2 Fmvps.


Maybe on your meaningless and arbitrary list.

[The-Legend-24]

Kobe isn't even playing, and this nigguhs are still talking about him.

:roll: :roll:

[leMVP]

Maybe on your meaningless and arbitrary list.

getting carried to 3 rings don't count, you have to be "the man" and bring your team the championship. that's what GOATs always do.

Lepiggybacker.. Only wins with a stacked as fu*k team...
He teamed up to be carried, too shook to be the man:roll: :roll:

[TonyMontana]

if Tim Duncan beats the Heat he is a lock for top 5 all-time.

if the Heat win LeBron continues to add to his resume to challenge for GOAT. If he loses he'll never be GOAT.

Both have already passed Kobe so no need to worry about that.

[gengiskhan]

Heat win and Lebron is obviously gonna win the FMVP too, pushing him closer to top 10,

.

are you faaaaking kidding me.

If LBJ wins 2nd FMVP!

Thats 2 straight MVPs in a row.

not been done since 1991-1992 Michael FREAKING jordan!

LBJ will lock Top 10 GOATs if he wins 2nd FMVP.

4 x MVPs + 2 x FMVPs

LBJ will be way ahead of duncan & Kobe.

[Magic 32]

If LBJ wins 2nd FMVP!

He can never be greater than Jordan, what he already has done in his career has killed any chance of that.

Is he on the team?

Why not hate Bob Mcadoo as well then?

[TonyMontana]

He's already better than Jordan. He just needs the championships.

This, I'm pretty sure all Laker fans in the world are rooting for the Spurs to beat Lebron :lol

[Artillery]

Tony Parker has been playing way better than Tim Duncan the whole playoffs.

Kobe sidekicked his way to three rings. It's about time Duncan sidekicked his way to a championship after carrying the Spurs for so long.

[NumberSix]

LeBron is already a better player than Jordan. He just needs the arbitrary achievement count to shut up all the idiots who can't judge gameplay.

[K Xerxes]

I don't really judge players by how many accolades they can collect, so this doesn't mean much to me. What Duncan and Kobe have both shown me this season boosts their longevity. As for their place on my GOAT list, they're pretty much neck and neck, but I give Duncan the edge overall because he was a more dominant player overall in his prime. Unless Duncan really dominates in the finals, it's not going to affect my ranking.

In the eyes of most fans, they would actually have Kobe ahead of Duncan (I'm guessing popularity and market), but I'm not sure how you'd be able to debate 5 rings, 3 FMVP, 2 MVPs vs 5 rings, 2 FMVP, 1 MVP. And that's assuming Duncan doesn't win FMVP.

The default mindset of the Kobe fanboy would be not to let LeBron win, but this is a lose-lose situation indeed.

[sportjames23]

One of the dumbest things I've read here, and that's saying a lot. :facepalm

Bron will never be in the same class as MJ, much less better than him.

Another dumbass post by another dumbass. :facepalm

[Quickening]

If I was a Kobe stan and didnt let my hatred of Lebron cloud my judgement, I would want him to win if they met up...

This is purely because within the next 2 years, there will literally be no argument of having Kobe ahead of Lebron whatsoever... Lebrons going to add at least 1 more mvp, fmvp and championship by time his careers over.

Whereas Kobe and Duncan are neck and neck, and if Duncan wins this year, he will be ahead.

If Duncan wins this year, Kobe wont have an argument for top ten by the end of nexy season.

We're all going to laugh at you when if the Heat win.

[grantz]

Yeah cause that is lesser of two evils not letting Lebron get another one.

Considering the Spurs are a model franchise, with players not above the coach, play hard all of the time, and has one of the most humble winningest champion this decade...

Yeah, I'd rather have Duncan and Parker win over LeBron anyday.

[talkingconch]

Lebron wins=still not ahead of Kobe

Duncan=probably ahead/behind by 1, depending on your rankings. Does not change because Parker-led right now. Unless TD goes off in the finals.

Therefore thread is irrelevant.

[Solefade]

Kobe fans will not realize that Duncan getting 5 rings would surpass Kobe on GOAT list and will root against LeBron.

[gengiskhan]

Kobe fans will not realize that Duncan getting 5 rings would surpass Kobe on GOAT list and will root against LeBron.

I think Duncan is already ahead of Kobe.

1 MVP sweep vs ZERO MVP sweeps.
2 MVPs vs 1 MVP
3 FMVPs vs 2 FMVPs
1 ROTY vs NONE

Duncan has enough individual & team accolades to be ahead of Kobe at this point in his career.

5th ring will only increase the distance btw Duncan & Kobe.

all said & done neither are gonna hold 10th GOAT spot because of LBJ.

[SCdac]

this thread is basically what 3-4 other threads on the front page are talking about.... and yes, kobe stans should be worried... Duncan is already above Kobe, but Lebron is on the verge of surpassing him (not that that's an insult, TD and James are two of the greatest ever)

[TheMarkMadsen]

Every Kobe thread on the first was started by a Kobe hater :facepalm


Yet apparently "Kobe fans" are the ones banned

[Heavincent]

I still don't see how this series has any effect on Kobe.

[Soundwave]

I agree no matter who wins Kobestans lose.

If its Duncan, then the whole Duncan vs. Kobe thing in the top 10 has to be revisited with Duncan now getting more sway there.

If LeBron leads his team to a second title, then on many top 10 lists he overtakes Kobe.

[Fox]

:lol
