View Full Version : Why is Duncan so highly regarded while Kobe is a "sidekick?"

First of all, I have Duncan in my top 5-7 players of all time.

However, my question is, why is Kobe punished for being a "sidekick" to Shaq and Duncan is glorified, no matter how he performs in the finals or who wins the finals MVP? One could argue Kobe was certainly no real sidekick, but just as important as Shaq, especially in the closing moments of games and during conference playoffs. I'm guessing the answer will be...

"Duncan anchored the defense." Okay great, but how are we going to deny that Kobe was the best defender during the three-peat? Is anyone really denying that? Kobe was hands down the best perimeter defender in the world during the three-peat.

Th double standard is illogical, totally based upon a hatred for Kobe Bryant.

Kobe is top 5 all time.

Is anyone really denying that? Kobe was hands down the best perimeter defender in the world during the three-peat.

“Kobe’s defense, to be accurate, has faltered in recent years, despite his presence on the league’s all-defensive team. The voters have been seduced by his remarkable athleticism and spectacular steals, but he hasn’t played sound, fundamental defense. Mesmerized by the ball, he’s gambled too frequently, putting us out of position, forcing rotations that leave a man wide open, and doesn’t keep his feet on the ground.”

That was PJAX in 04.

Kobe was only a sidekick for one of his rings though. 01 and 02 are not sidekick rings.

Kobe was only a clear sidekick in 2000. The other two with Shaq were more of a Magic/Kareem type of contribution. Early 80s kareem.

The Thing about Jordan's 6/6 is that he was the best player on the team. There was no real debate about it. We never had to try to prop him upby saying who was anchoring the defense or scoring in the clutch or things people use to diminish their teammates to prop up stars. (Both are fair talking points though) Can other top 10 other legends say that? :confusedshrug:

He was ahead of Kobe with four. Go look at the numbers and help. Duncan did more to win four than Kobe did five. He did it without another player being capable of top 50 status, let alone top 5. He did it with a small-market team that didn't attract free agents, with one of the lowest spending owners in the league. He did it without being someone's number two for half his career, and with a coach who had done nothing before his arrival.

Shaq is another story. If you pick Shaq, fine, but Duncan is now more accomplished and a much better team player.

Then again, you're the one who said the 2010 Lakers were better than the 03 Spurs, which might just be the most ridiculous claim ever.

But to answer the original question, Kobe doesn't have that likability factor to many fans who felt that he had a sense of entitlement, arrogance and ruffled many people the wrong way.

For example, he even upset Karl Malone in Kobe Bryant's first All-Star game when Kobe Bryant waved him off while setting a screen because Kobe wanted to go one-on-one against Michael Jordan.

Too many psychotic fans view Kobe as being born with a golden spoon, right or wrong.

Shaq, in his peak, is a top 3 all-time player, and Kobe won 60% of his championships with him. Star power is still without doubt the most important thing in this league. :confusedshrug:

LeBron played bad but it was all relative to the players

18/7/7 on 47% shooting is great for just about any player, heck its better than whatever wade put up in the finals the last 3 years, but of course it is below what lebron shouldve done

But then again people act like 2011 was just about lebron

In game 4 Wade missed a key freethrow to tie the game with 30 seconds left, and messed up an inbound pass a play later to tie the game, thats flat out inexcuseable but noone brings that up

And wade didnt show up in the elimination Game 6 either

Did wade play better than lebron? Sure, but the difference between the 2 isnt nearly as large as people make it out to be

Not all rings are created equal. The reason Kobe gets punished more than Duncan (by some, I actually have them in the same tier) is that he could put up somewhat pedestrian numbers in 2000, and play subpar in the Finals and still win all while playing with Shaquille O Neal who was good for like 30/10 on 60%.

You think he's gonna get Jordan credit for those rings? Please.

Duncan hasn't even been the best player in a finals series in his past 4 finals.

Duncan was out played by Manu in 05, Parker in 07, wasn't the best player in the series in 2013, choked on a layup that could have won the series & wasn't the best player on his team for the 2014 finals.

1. Duncan choked in 2004 for sure.

2. Maybe because, before 2013, he never had the clear-cut best team in the league? How can you repeat when your teammates are constantly injured and not even superstars in the first place?

3. Nothing to do with his NBA career, still averaged like 15/10 on 60% shooting whilst being doubled and tripled (go watch some of the footage and see how they played him compared to AI and the others

The claim that Duncan was the best player in only 3 of the 5 championships is false.

Duncan was the Spurs best player in 06-07 (all-nba 1st team, all-defensive 1st team, all-star). Parker didn't make any all-nba team but did get all-star honors.

06-07 regular season
Duncan 20 pts / 10.6 rebs / 3.4 assts / 2.4 blks 54.6%
Parker 18.6 pts / 5.5 assts 52%

07 playoffs
Duncan 22.2 pts / 11.5 rebs / 3.3 assts / 3.1 blks 52.1%
Parker 20.8 pts / 5.8 assts 48%


Even 2013-14 is close (especially when DEFENSE is taken into account):

13-14 regular season
Duncan 15.1 pts / 9.7 rebs / 3 assts / 1.9 blks 49%
Parker 16.7 pts / 5.7 assts 49.9%

14 playoffs
Duncan 16.3 pts / 9.2 rebs / 2 assts / 1.3 blks 52.3%
Parker 17.4 pts / 4.8 assts 48.6%

As far as the role player claim, if Duncan was a role player in 13-14, then ALL Spurs players are role players (even Parker - remember they closed out OKC in the 2nd half of game 6 without TP and he began Finals game 5 going 0-10 but Spurs had a big lead).

Actually, no, Kobe was not the best defender on the Lakers...

Shaq was, by a good margin... People forget this guy was 2nd on the DPOTY Vote in 2000. He was a huge intimidator around the basket, and had clearly more impact than Kobe on that end, as well.

Kobe = Leader of 2 'Chips

The claim that Duncan was the best player in only 3 of the 5 championships is false.

Duncan was the Spurs best player in 06-07 (all-nba 1st team, all-defensive 1st team, all-star). Parker didn't make any all-nba team but did get all-star honors.

06-07 regular season
Duncan 20 pts / 10.6 rebs / 3.4 assts / 2.4 blks 54.6%
Parker 18.6 pts / 5.5 assts 52%

07 playoffs
Duncan 22.2 pts / 11.5 rebs / 3.3 assts / 3.1 blks 52.1%
Parker 20.8 pts / 5.8 assts 48%


Even 2013-14 is close (especially when DEFENSE is taken into account):

13-14 regular season
Duncan 15.1 pts / 9.7 rebs / 3 assts / 1.9 blks 49%
Parker 16.7 pts / 5.7 assts 49.9%

14 playoffs
Duncan 16.3 pts / 9.2 rebs / 2 assts / 1.3 blks 52.3%
Parker 17.4 pts / 4.8 assts 48.6%

As far as the role player claim, if Duncan was a role player in 13-14, then ALL Spurs players are role players (even Parker - remember they closed out OKC in the 2nd half of game 6 without TP and he began Finals game 5 going 0-10 but Spurs had a big lead).

Of course I do. It relies on passing until the perfect shot is found.

Now could you explain the 98-05 system? I doubt it.
Its the same system that works to be contenders every year.

If you contextualise by positions, Kobe has a case. But the idea that a guard had the bigger impact on the defense than a big, one who protected the rim well no less, is absurd. People don't seem to understand that bigs simply bring more to the table, especially one like Shaq.

Kobe= leader of 2 chips and 1b leader of 3 chips
Duncan= leader of 2 chips.

Damn you really are as stupid as your syntax would suggest. You lost this one as soon as you admitted you could't explain how a system works.

Added to ignore. :cheers:

ISH is pretty much define by our double standards to support agendas. Every thread is plague by this mindset, so ISH's basketball opinion is pointless.

God damn threads like this just turn into a Kobe jack off session.. Are all you Kobe stans having fun waving those Kobe glow sticks around in here...

How do you expect other people on the forum to take you seriously at all.. It's embarrassing..

Answering the question in the thread is pointless due to the way you act...

Like 5 year old children throwing up all sorts of rubbish to make people believe Santa clause is real...


Ish voted

#5 Duncan

Nothing you can do at this point will put Kobe ahead of him... Duncan is set in stone above him.. So please just get over it

If you have no biases than you probably can't have any of Kobe or Duncan higher than the other.
They're too interchangeble and have different things going for them.
It's really just what you prefer.
Both at 5-6 to me on the top 10
