You can't call him a roll player and than blame him for losing a series. Doesn't work that way.

he is a role players since 08 and im not just blaming him for losing, its a team game.....its just the hole thing with this series, really funny...may be you dont know...tlp was joking with me...because spurs won games 1 and 2...and i still told him thunder would win 4 of the next 5....:lol :lol

To over-reactionary people, sure. Don't bother with those people.

[NumberSix]

Meh. Nobody has lost a home game yet.

[K Xerxes]

He's like 38 right now. No all time great did shit at that age aside from Kareem.

[BuffaloBill]

38 years old. Most people are deep in their basketball graves at that age.

[T_L_P]

38 years old. Most people are deep in their basketball graves at that age.

17/9 on 52% this Playoffs. Robinson was a carcass at 38, with significantly less mileage. Shaq averaged 9/5 at that age, and he played like 1 minute in the Playoffs. Hakeem was worse at 36 than Duncan is now. Moses, Barkley, Magic, Bird were not in the league.

Duncan is chasing Kobe (http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/when-legacies-collide-lebron-james-tim-duncan-forging-theirs-as-we-watch-052714)

[QUOTE]The other is Tim Duncan

[SCdac]

Kobe hasn't played a playoff game in 2 years :oldlol:

If the Lakers suck again next season count on Kobe being "injured" right before playoffs begin (that's if they make the playoffs) to save from being a part of an early exit. Kobe is chucking for RS scoring records nowadays.

Wait a minute...how is that possible when Kobe got swept in 98, 99, & 11?

Seriously, what am I missing here?

Desperate Spurs fans now trying to compare a seasoned HOF veteran in Duncan with a 19-20 year old raw Kobe.

The way things are looking, when Kobe is 38 he will be in a wheelchair..

I'm just observing that OP said Kobe would never lose 4 games in a row in the playoffs 3 different times and yet, he already has. Did he mean, prime Kobe would never lose 4 games in a row 3 separate times, because if so, then that's true.

[poido123]

Really close Imo.

I really can't separate them myself.

[miles berg]

Duncan has always been, and always will be. Superior to Kobe Bryant.

[Jlamb47]

Duncan > Kobe

Because it's all gravy when you reach this point of your career.

You really think people should start moving Kobe backwards in the all time rankings because of what he has done from 11 to now or something?

The only way Duncan or Kobe or Dirk or KG move backwards at this point of their careers is if a younger player like Lebron or Durant knocks them off a spot.

Yes, Duncan averaging 17/10/2 in the playoffs over the last 3 years now with 3 westernc conference finals trips and a finals is icing on the career cake of Duncan.

It's impressive longevity that should be noticed in his ranking all time....but nobody is going to knock him down for not winning this year because he's old as shit.

And just like nobody is going to vault him up hugely in the rankings if he loses either...

And you would of course support this as if Kobe was held to superstar standards honestly since game 6 of the 10 finals...he'd look like a clown.

6-24 chokejob in biggest game of his career
swept as huge favorite the following playoffs
12 loses in 5 in 2nd round
misses playoffs the next two years

And in the middle of all of that...drives away a top 10 player in the league.

So lets not pretend like any Kobe fan wants this kind of thinking.
