Frank Isola SHUTS DOWN Kobe vs Duncan arguments

[STATUTORY]

In Kobe's final game he scored 60 points on 22-for-50 shooting. In Tim Duncan's last 10 games combined he scored 59 on 22-for-52 shooting.

So their careers are defined by one or two games....

Okay.....genius

Who missed the most shots in history due to being an inefficient chucker?

Kobes last game was so embarrassing

Also left the Lakers at the lowest point of their history.

Nice one...

kobe stans are the dumbest fanbase of all time

Both Kobe and Duncan are far superior to lebron, which is what matters here.

Duncan did anything that was needed to give his team the best chance to win, against playoff teams. Sacrificing shots and intangibles. Kobe did it in the most attention demanding way possible, taking the most shots in NBA history. Really shows the difference between the two man.

Duncan also had Ginobli, one of the greatest 4th quarter players of all time.

Duncan retired at 40.Kobe retired at 37.

[ShawkFactory]

Came in expecting an actual argument. Oh well.

Duncan's last 10 games came in the playoffs, while Kobe won them game #16 of the season in his last game

[Dragonyeuw]

So Duncan aging gracefully and allowing younger stars to lead the Spurs to the 2nd best record in the league, is less laudable than an aging gunslinger shooting 35% for the year with a massive contract and finishing his career with a egotistical 50 shot display to prove that for one night he could channel a younger, more relevant version of himself.

This forum kills brain cells.

me too.. should have known better...

[ScalsFan21]

Aw, come on guys, you should know better. No one outside of the insane asylum could ever articulate a legitimate argument for Kobe > Duncan, I'm surprised you expected Isola of all people to be able to. :oldlol:

whats so funny about that ? :biggums:

I view Ginobili as a phenomenal 4th Q player over his career. I was a supporter of those mid-2000s Detroit teams and I still remember his absolute utter DAGGER 3 with like 2 minutes left in Game 7, and how all-time ice cold he was in big moments. The big 3 he hit vs. Dallas could've generated a 3peat if he didn't then turn around and foul Dirk. Big moments against the Nets when we played them. Playoffs, RS, was always great in crunch time IMO.

But... Heat fans have fond memories of his 4th quarter ways in 2013 when his poor play and unforced TO's effectively decided a series so I can't blame AJ in the least. :lol

yup.. add in his performance against team USA in 2004, destroying a peak duncan head to head in the olympics to the tune of 29/3/3 to Timmy's 10/6.. Dagger 4 point play on young d wade as well.

if aj was watchin long enough to see it, it would have burned his soul. :lol

Ginobili is one of the smartest, clutchest players of all time.. I dont hold 2013 against him too much when he was beat up and old.

[Spurs m8]

Gino has been terrible in the clutch for years and years.

[rmt]

Frank has never gotten over Duncan beating his Knicks.

Anybody that has watched basketball since AT LEAST 2003 know what type of player Manu was. Explosive, crafty and clutch.

[imdaman99]

Isola trolls the Knicks as much as anyone does. I have a hard time believing he's a Knicks fan. Or maybe he just hates Phil :lol

[imdaman99]

Oh yeah? And how important was Duncan in those playoff games? :wtf: dude had 0 points in a playoff game this year.

[aj1987]

I was laughing at his idiocy.

if aj was watchin long enough to see it, it would have burned his soul. :lol
I can name dozens of players who were/are more clutch than Ginobili. It's like you guys have selective memory. If you ignore all of Kobe's failures in the clutch, he'd be viewed as one of the most clutch players ever as well. Same with LeBron, Wade, etc..


But... Heat fans have fond memories of his 4th quarter ways in 2013 when his poor play and unforced TO's effectively decided a series so I can't blame AJ in the least. :lol
You can't ignore his failures.

[ScalsFan21]

Definitely not. I just think on a whole, Manu wasn't the kind of guy to be negatively affected by the moment. Someone who all things considered I would give the ball to for a key possession in a game or the last shot. Like anyone he has failures in big spots but during his prime he was a killer. Even during his worst moments I don't think I'd attribute the word "choke" to him so much as just playing poorly. 2013 Finals was an unmitigated disaster though, no doubt about it. So many momentum-crippling examples of bad play that series.

[rmt]

Mind you, there's not many with more heart than Manu, but his head turns to mush when he's tired. Two HUGE mistakes - Dirk's foul and not running clock vs Heat (instead charging into opponent and picking up offensive foul) but you gotta take the good with the bad and Manu's done a lot of good through the years.

[ArbitraryWater]

We shouldnt be surprised about aj laughing and thinking that was stupid.. any history outside of his boy DWade, he isnt very fond with.

[smoovegittar]

Wow. .. we agree.

[feyki]

Amazing arguement :roll: :roll:

[ScalsFan21]

Wow. .. we agree.

Lol :cheers:

Hey, facts are facts. :oldlol:

[3peated]

that's a cool stat, but it doesn't mean much, lol.

[Stringer Bell]

Yeah that really proves a lot. :oldlol:

[hold this L]

You would have to be an idiot to think Kobe > Duncan.
