Garnett has played 50,000 minutes, Kobe only 47,000 DISCUSS

[VeeCee15]

This Kobe Bryant "20th" season thing is BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION.
Let's be real..Kobe "retired" 4 seasons ago and has barely played since. And when he does play...it's better that he DOESN't play.

Kobe Bryant has WEAK longevity..he hasn't PLAYED 20 seasons cause he is so often injured.

Garnett and Tim Duncan have superior longevity to Kobe. Especially Tim Duncan who's the overall greater player.

Why dont you include playoff minutes? Why dont you compare kobe's season and finals minutes to a guard?

Because Kobe didn't have the carry the heavy load much of the time.

[VeeCee15]

kobe has barely played the past 4 years! HE has no longevity..most of the time he's just sitting there collecting a paycheck! And he doens't go to practice

Bryant is a SG in all fairness. A lot more running both on defense and offense.

Garnett:

RS - 50135
Playoffs - 5283
Total - 55418

Kobe:

RS - 47280
Playoffs - 8641
Total - 55921



So not only does Kobe have more total minutes played than KG as a shooting guard, but he also has over 3000 more playoffs minutes when the game is played at another intensity level.

OP is a f*cking retard. :roll:

[warriorfan]

Kevin Garnett is 7 foot barefoot and has the body where he can play decent defense even while having one leg.

Kobe is a 6'4'' guard that relies on pure athleticism to get the job done

One will be able to play with advanced age and wear, the other will not...

Duncan was 1st team All-NBA in 2013, and has a case in this young season as well.

[Kawhi]

That relies on pure athleticism? Then how come that for years we've had to hear that Kobe would age well because he was one of the more skilled players in the league? :confusedshrug:

[TheImmortal]

Not in my book bud. Gimmick All-NBA season.. placed at center (the weakest position) despite being called a PF throughout his career - especially when it was convenient earlier in his career with the more popular Shaq and Yao Ming at the center spots locking up the All-Star games. Dude's a coward and a fraud.. not surprised.

[Nick Young]

How many points does Garnett have in comparison to Kobe?:confusedshrug:

[SouBeachTalents]

:lol No he does not. When was the last time a player averaged 10 ppg or less and made All-NBA First Team? Has it ever happened?

because that was before he blew out his Achilles

I shouldn't of said rely purely on athleticism, that was an overstatement. I should of said KG's game that he has been playing for years requires far less athleticism than what Kobe's would.

A defensive 7 foot Center needs less mobility than a dynamic Shooting Guard...

Who would of thunk it?

Duncan in 2013: 17.8 PPG / less than 10 REB a game in an era with weak big men... all in 69 games. Yup.. seems legit.

[Kawhi]

:lol No he does not. When was the last time a player averaged 10 ppg or less and made All-NBA First Team? Has it ever happened?
Joakim Noah was first team All-NBA not too long ago, and he isn't exactly the greatest scorer ever. I'm on my phone, so can't check, but I'd be very surprised if his ppg average surpassed 13 and a half. Not to mention, basketball is a two way game, and right now, Tim is murking everyone in the league in defensive stats.

Ok so if we're counting Duncan as a legit All-NBA 1st teamer in 2013.. then how is this excusable as a Top 10 player still in his prime? :biggums:

[SCdac]

Man, Kobe hasn't played a playoff game in what 3-4 years :facepalm ... Can't blame him for retiring based on how he's played the last couple years

[HighFlyer23]

Nobody is still in their prime at 36 dude. WTF?

[outbreak]

I agree it's a stupid thread but acting like being a big man in the NBA doesn't take a toll on your body is ****ing ludicrous. Big men take A BEATING every single game. It's not the same as a guard losing his legs but it's still impressive being able to hold your own in the paint at KG's age.

A Kobe fan having the nerve to talk about an All NBA gimmick...

Kobes all NBA in 2011, and 2012 were gimmicks. And like 4-5 of his NBA All Defensive teams were absurd.

Get real. :oldlol: Also, at least Kobe got all of those spots as a guard (his natural position).. while Duncan (who is realistically a center) masqueraded as a PF his whole career just so he wouldn't lose All-NBA spots and All-Star game spots to Shaq (the more superior, dominant and more popular player). Soft.

If Garnett shot as much as Kobe, he'd have more :lol :lol

[Quickening]

Kobe longevity gets blown way out of proportion... he has had 13 elite seasons in his career where he has scored at least 20 ppg, and played 60 games.

Nothing special... Lebron's at that mark after this season.

You realize a player can be a top 10 player and also not still be in his prime...right?

Duncan's 13 season is absurdly under-rated....was at the time...and still is now. He was the best player on a team that almost won the title.

You make it sound like he performed poorly in the playoffs or something. Hell, he would have deserved finals MVP if Allen didn't make that shot imo.

The funny thing is that Garnett never won as the Alpha because he didn't shoot enough. So he had to collude with 2 Alpha Hall of Famers to win his only ring. Didn't even get an MVP. GayG is a scrub and shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as HungBe.

[no pun intended]

Surprised no one even mentioned that Kobe has been playing first-option for the entirety of his career, whereas Garnett dropped that role since moving to Boston.

[Rocketswin2013]

Garnett also had a devastating injury in 2009 that ended him being an elite player. He still had a positive impact as late as 2013.

[DMV2]

Surprised no one even mentioned that Kobe has been playing first-option for the entirety of his career, whereas Garnett dropped that role since moving to Boston.That's because he was never a first-option his entire career.

Here's the facts:
Kobe was a sidekick/Robin for the first 8 seasons of his career(1996-2004) and first-option from 2004-05 til this season (12 seasons). But because he only played 6 games during the 2013-14, should we even count that as a season? I say no. Do we even count his 2014-15 season as well since he only played 35 games? So that's 10 and a half full seasons as the man.

Garnett was first-option from his sophomore season, 1996-97, until 2006-07 season. That's 11 seasons. '99 was a lockout year and 47/50 is 94%. One can even argue that he was the true leader of the 2008 Celtics team too. That's 12 seasons as The Man!

I'm not sure who you're arguing against. Not many people dispute what you said.

[buddha]

That relies on pure athleticism? Then how come that for years we've had to hear that Kobe would age well because he was one of the more skilled players in the league? :confusedshrug:

he did age well. he was putting up elite numbers (27/5/5) at 34 years old. what the **** was he supposed to do? average that till 40? Look at Dwyane Wade, he's 34 this year and averaging 18,4,3.. lmao, Kobe's 37, he was born in the 70's man, let him die in peace, that sad thing is Kobe would probably still be putting up 25 ppg if he never had those injuries, we all knew it when it happened but we didn't fully believe it because it was Kobe. what does that say about him? we just assumed he could overcome a torn achilles.

[Mr Feeny]

Dominique sure did! And averaged 30 :D

It's not a slight on Kobe. He just takes a ton of dumb shots. And at this point of his career he can no longer make them. He's just wrecking his career averages and tarnishing his own legacy. If he were to take 10 shots a game and focus on racking up a few assists, he'd help the kids develop as well as go out with dignity and with his head held high, as a leader who's helped develop the next batch of kids for the future.

This to me is one of the best examples of how easily legacies can be affected. If the Spurs win in 2013, Timmy D picks up Title #5 and a 4th Finals MVP at 37 while being 5-0 in the Finals. He's getting Top 5 All-Time talks and his 2013 Season wouldn't be underappreciated.
