Kobe actually looking really good so far...

[stalkerforlife]

16, 4, and 4, 84% from the line. Lakers have lost every game he didn't play, but they won 2 games in which he did play.

16, 4, and 4 is a dream for most.

He'll definitely be an all-star starter.

That is an impressive FT%. What's he shooting from the field and beyond the arc?

[Magic 32]

The way he has played in the last 3 games is what I expected from the start of the season.

15.3 ppg, 5.7 apg, 5.7 rpg, 1.3 spg, 38fg%

Just 5% increase in fg% and we might be getting somewhere.

Agreed. He's holding back clearly.. like he said, he could go off for 25PPG and average that for an entire season.. but that wouldn't do good for the young kids on the team. He wants to let them grow and learn. Such a generousbe! :bowdown:

Stop giving Kobe credit for Shaq's accomplishments. How'd Kobe actually do when it was just him by himself with no Shaq or best front court in the NBA? Even in '99 and '03 with no big 3 or rookie/bench/roleplayer big 3, Duncan still beat the dogshit out your two top 10 all times on the same team. Cuckbe sure had his number those years, eh boy?

There is no revisionism.

Kobe is 18-12 (4-2 in series) against Duncan in the 30 games they played in the playoffs. He had the clear cut better team and teammates often.

Kobe - 28/6/5

Duncan - 25/14/4

In the regular season;

Duncan is 28-21 against Kobe

Kobe - 24/6/5

Duncan - 20/12/3


Not only did Kobe not "own Duncan", but even saying something along those lines is silly because they don't play the same position and play completely different roles.

And Duncan is 40-39 against Duncan in the 79 games they've played against each other in their careers.

I don't see any evidence that Kobe "had Duncan's number"...

Lastly, Duncan has had way better longevity than Kobe...it's not remotely close.

Duncan has never repeated, has had the consistency of one Coach his entire career, a stable core and has had the luxury of being eased into becoming a role player so it wasn't as abrupt change as it was with Kobe.

That's what the haters seem to forget, Kobe was dropping 29 pts with 5.6 reb and 6 assts in the 2012-13 season. Then he tore his Achilles.

That's the only reason why Duncan is better today. Whatever that means, guys been a shell of his former self just as much as Kobe. But when you're surrounded with Top tier talent and a front office who wouldn't offer you the biggest contract after a major injury on the down side of your thirties, your decline is easier hidden by a reduced role.

He has a losing record in the regular season, but somehow Kobe having the edge over him in the post season doesn't mean shit? Only with you is this type of logic applied. Duncan's always had the more well rounded Team built for season success. Even during the 3peat days.

The Lakers have always been two deep in Kobe's championship caliber years, you guys trying to overstate the impact of Lamar Odom and the non factor Andrew Bynum doesn't change that.

Same rings over a longer stretch of time, more The Man chips, more MVP's, more All-NBA/Defensive selections, more 50 win seasons, never missed the play offs (in his prime), more rings without another all-star/All-NBA teammate, better defender, bigger impact, coach with no chips about to be fired while grabbing his first vs. coach with 6 chips already under his belt, a chip with no Parker or Manu as well as a chip with a rookie/1st year Parker/Manu putting up abysmal numbers, more unselfish, better team player, better leader, greater winner. I can go on and on and on and on.

There ain't no haters, son. There's just the deluded and the truth sayers. You're, unfortunately, my cuck-minded friend, a member of the former. Kobe was dropping those numbers on a barely play off caliber team due to refs at the expense of his team. Something Kobe always did, year in and year out.

Duncan is better today because Kobe has always been a selfish chucker with questionable efficiency who relied on his physical gifts and stacked front courts for most of his career. Now that he doesn't have those things, he's getting exposed for the low I.Q. basketball player he's always been. Duncan is still efficient (as always, unlike C(h)uckbe), but even more importantly, Duncan still PLAYS DEFENSE. Something Kobe hasn't done in a long time. A long time. Kobe is a black hole on defense large enough to eclipse the 1 inch one he left in that girl in Colorado 20 trillion times over. He's literally one of the worst defenders in the entire league while Duncan is still one of the best and was at least the second best defender on the Spurs last year (if not the most impactful) behind the DPOY.

Kobe made his own bed and now he has to drown in it. He's chased out enough top tier talent for 10 rings. It's his own fault and why he is considered a bad teammate, leader and a cancer. Duncan willingly took less yaper because Duncan is ALL about winning. Always has been, always will be. He's basically a modern day Bill Russell in that regard. Whereas Kobe eats first, which is another reason why it's been hard to attract free agents to Los Angeles.

No one's forcing Baldbe to chuck night after night. He has plenty of superior talent around him at this stage in his career that he should be helping them develop into better players like Duncan has been doing. Instead, he is content to make his 120 million while having the green light on the freeway to the lottery season to season. He's a perpetual loser and team cancer that needs to be cut out like the plague that he is. His best skills are snitching and rape. Let that sink in. Then do the same with your lottery team as you tank like the Titanic for more busts for years and years and years to come.

Who says Duncan took kobe to school? They don't guard each other. That line would make no sense even if Duncan scored 100 points and Kobe was 0-100 shooting.

It is just a simple fact that Duncan has been the better player over his career. He has also had the better career. The gap is pretty noticeable. Don't get me wrong, we're comparing a guard to a center. So if you want to change things to "kobe was better at his role than duncan at his" then we have a difficult question and one that's hard to really decide on.

But the argument made was that Kobe had more allstar level years than Duncan, which is just false. They're basically the same in that regard, so it's a silly point to really argue about. However stating kobe had more is false.

Bill Simmons on Duncan vs Kobe...

2001

You could have given the Spurs a healthy Anderson, then placed him on Barry Bonds’s 2001 PEDs program with the orders “just double the doses,” and the 2001 Spurs still wouldn’t have beaten the 2001 Lakers. Duncan averaged 24.4 points and 14.5 rebounds in the ’01 playoffs, peaking with a 40-15 in Game 2 against the Lakers. Shaq and Kobe? They averaged 59.9 points and 22.7 rebounds. Not a misprint. That’s the greatest basketball team of the 21st century.

Best Game You Definitely Didn’t Remember: Kobe stole home court in Game 1 with a 45-point barrage (including 28 in the second half). As the president of the Tim Duncan Is the Best Player of His Generation Club, I can tell you these Game 1 highlights do NOT help my case. You couldn’t have made the price of Kobe’s rookie card high enough in May 2001.
