And the sky is blue...

[GimmeThat]

And Kobe can outrank Duncan in "class" by simply playing out a longer career than him.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

It's true.

Good to see Duncan getting the respect he deserves

I was curious about their game scores so I looked up their playoff game scores for each championship winning run.

03 TD: 23.5
09 KB: 22.4
01 KB: 22.0
10 KB: 20.4
99 TD: 19.1
07 TD: 18.8
05 TD: 18.3
02 KB: 17.3
00 KB: 14.5
14 TD: 14.1

That's actually pretty much spot on how I would rank each run...

[IllegalD]

Both are better than LeBron.

2/5.

Stay salty, LeBron Stans. :lol

Awww:

Lebron 4 MVPs + 2 FMVPs = 6 Combined MVPs

Duncan 2 MVPs + 3 FMVPs = 5 Combined MVPs

Kobe 1(Lol) MVP + 2 FMVPs = 3 (:lol ) Combined MVPs

Ok they're both better than Kobe:applause:

Who's a Lebron fan?:no: Wasn't you who brought him up in a thread that has nothing to do with him? This thread is about how Duncan is better than Kobe. That's the general consensus:applause:

Whatever you wanna classify yourself as, fakkit.

You're another one of no-life loses that only makes posts about Kobe.

Feels good to know that you have over 100 posts more than I have since 2006... :applause:

And Kobe can outrank Duncan in "class" by simply playing out a longer career than him.

Franchise player being "classy" by crying about how he wants out of LA. Stay classy San Diego.

[Ne 1]

I stopped reading the article at win shares. :oldlol: I'm a huge Lakers and Kobe fan, but I won't argue with anyone who wants to put Timmy up there with Kobe or over him. Both are clearly cemented as two of the greatest players in NBA history amongst the 5-10 greatest ever. But :roll: at "win shares."

The only ones getting salty are kids with no BBALL IQ..

real BBALL fans / Laker/Spurs fans respect both players..

Me personally...I have no problem with anyone who thinks TD>KB:confusedshrug:


as long as you put both of them in the top 4 - 6 alltime players ever....then you are doing it right.

[Stringer Bell]

No shocker here.

Duncan was greater than Kobe before equaling ring totals.

But "not in the same class"?? That's extreme.

[SOD 21]

Let's not forget that Kobe Bryant has defeated Tim Duncan in four of their six playoff series against each other and has also won 18 of their 30 playoff games against each other.

Each of them should be ranked in everyone's top 5 to 10 all-time. But it is like splitting hairs.

Kobe is not a top 6 player ever at this point.

Yea he is.

[SpecialQue]

Lebron stans reduced to sucking off the guy who destroyed their favorite player twice. :roll:

[AirFederer]

Pulizer prize incoming :bowdown:

[HOoopCityJones]

The way I know Duncan isn't over Kobe All-time nor was he ever , by how many times these threads have been made.

the haters need other haters to validate their delusions.

[Shih508]

You are either a kobe stan or just a casual fan if you are thinking Kobe > Duncan!

It was never close since Duncan got drafted. It got alittle closer after Lakers won back to back with Gasol. It got pulled away once again last two years!

[Springsteen]

The way I know Duncan isn't over Kobe All-time nor was he ever , by how many times these threads have been made.

5 rings + 2 MVP + 3 FMVP > 5 rings + 1 MVP + 2 FMVP

are you really gonna dispute that? :confusedshrug:

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Solefade]

duncan is obviously the better player, more fmvps and mvps with just as many rings while being the defensive anchor

[Basketball Fan]

Good to see Duncan getting the respect he deserves


Which shows how lacking in credibility this all is.

Don't get me wrong Duncan is a great player but where was this when Duncan had 4 rings to Kobe's 3? I mean Duncan is better right?

How come they don't say Duncan is better than Shaq?(which is a much better comparison than him and Kobe when it comes down to it) They won't because its Shaq and he's a media darling.

I guess its easier to discredit Kobe's career than to acknowledge they ignored Duncan because he wasn't flashy enough.

[SCdac]

Duncan didn't even need a 5th ring to be considered better. Old news.

[AlphaWolf24]

Kobe is not a top 6 player ever at this point.


...top 6 right now...

next season ...600 more points = surpass MJ alltime scoring list.

#3 alltime scorer with 5 titles = top 5 easily.




stay mad Texass.
