You are going to take away 3 titles from Kobe and then say he is better than LeBron? You are bad at this.

#1 is LeBron, then out of respect for LeBron #2 and #3 are left blank. Then you can pick up at #4.

FWIW, Dirk is probably #4 (or second best on the list). Leaving off 2000-2004 chews up a big piece of KG, Kobe, and TDs prime.

[robert_shaww]

Manu over Wade. :lol

yes. better passer. playmaker. clutch player. winner. 3 point shooter, IQ, and beat dwyane ass in the finals and in the olympics.

He's a better 3 point shooter. The rest of that post is false and the last comment is flat out stupid.

[Lebronxrings]

lebron should be ahead of kobe.

Ginbobili and parker shouldn't be on this list considering they're system players.

[GODbe]

lebron should be ahead of kobe.

[Beastmode88]

Ginbobili and parker shouldn't be on this list considering they're system players.

Then Jason Terry would be #1 if we follow your logic. :lol

Someone needs to sort out the editing on that one - not as good as the Kobe one right now but has potential. :applause:

[tmacattack33]

If this starts at 2004 then Lebron is number one.

[robert_shaww]

If this starts at 2004 then Lebron is number one.

why, tell me.

[EnoughSaid]

I'll do the top 5 for you:

1. Timmy Duncan
2. LeBron James
3. Kobe Bryant
4. Dwyane Wade
5. Dirk Nowitzki

:facepalm

[tmacattack33]

why, tell me.

Duncan's last few years were worse than Lebron's first few years in this time period.

And in between, Lebron was better. Duncan's peak was 2003.

Same for Kobe. He wasn't even on the court in 2014, and in 2011 and 2012 he was pretty weak.

And by starting at 2004 you just took 3 rings away from Kobe and 2 from Duncan.

[Young X]

How are Bosh, Gasol, Billups, Anthony, Parker, Yao, Manu better than Chris Paul? He should be top 10.

Not sure if this is a serious list because Durant is at 14, but if so Manu is way too high. He has literally zero case over Parker, much less Wade or Shaq or other FMVPs.

I'll do the top 5 for you:

1. Timmy Duncan

LeBron has a case for number 1 IMO, but yeah, those are the top 5.

Great top 3 :applause:

[Beastmode88]

negged.

Idiot links the Kobe equivalent version but isn't mad. Double standards as always, negged.

[K Xerxes]

1) LeBron - average 28-7-7, 4 MVPS, 2 rings, 2 FMVPs

2) Kobe - average 28-6-5, 1 MVP, 2 rings, 2 FMVPs

3) Dirk - average 24-8-3, 1 MVP, 1 ring, 1 FMVP

4) Duncan - average 18-11-3, 3 rings, 1 FMVP

5) Wade - average 24-5-6, 3 rings, 1 FMVP

I don't particularly think there should be any question about the top 3 or their order. 4 and 5 are pretty close but I give the nod to Duncan for his defense and that he clearly led his team 2 rings in that time span. I can see an argument for Garnett at number 5 too.

[kennethgriffin]

lol wtf didnt duncans prime end in like 2005

how is he #1

kobes prime was 2006-2010.

duncan has 3 rings but he was out performed by ginobili in 2005, ( 20ppg on 60% to duncans 20ppg on 40% ).. then duncan was outperformed by finals mvp tony parker. then out performed by kawhi leonard and tony parker for his last ring.

kobe atleast had the alpha lead dog role for his last 2 titles. even lebrons 2 asterisk titles beat duncans last 3

dam.... cutting out his Shaq years really makes his stats shine.

Duncan averaged 20ppg exactly once since 2006. He is a system player. Granted, a remarkably reliable and talented system player, but a system player nonetheless.
