Tim Duncan: "I don't talk to anyone when they first get here"

Quote the whole thing and look at the context of his statement.

Kobe is one of the greatest leaders of all time. Who else could toughen up 0-16 in the playoffs without Kobe Pau Gasol?

[QUOTE=atljonesbro]Duncan said he has to get to know you. Different.[/QUOTE]

Wasn't that simple

"He didn't talk to me for a whole year," Parker said after practice Monday, reflecting on his rookie season in 2001-02 when it wasn't just a French-English language barrier that wedged a gap between the two. "It was kind of weird coming from France and you have your superstar player that doesn't talk to you as a point guard, it's kind of tough, you know? Because you're supposed to talk to everybody.

"I think you had to earn his respect, I guess," Parker said

[QUOTE=AKA AAP 23]Duncan is the best teammate on the court, he embraces everyone he plays with. He might not talk to someone much early on, but in the end everyone loves him.

Kobe at first is probably a two-face sociopath, [B]and in the end everyone of his teammates want out after not getting any credit for carrying Kobe the inefficient anti-clutch out of flow player to wins.[/B]

Big difference.[/QUOTE]
Was a pretty objective, respectable comment until you shat the bed with the bolded part.

Duncan stans doe

I have no problem with either one of them, since I see them more as introverts. They're not really being assholes just that they rather not have forced conversations. That's just my opinion, since I'm not there.

[QUOTE=Rocketswin2013]Parker literally had to win a title with Timmy before Timmy even spoke to him.

Try.

Again.

And I usually like your posts.[/QUOTE]

From what Tim said they just had to get to know each other better.

smush parker is a scrub

Kobe steals everyone else's credit like how he stole Gasol's 2009 and 2010 FMVP. He then blames others for his own failure like how he blamed Gasol for the 2008 finals when it was Kobe stinking it up that caused it.

Duncan gives his teammates FMVP like he did in 2007 when he should have won it.

"Shaq sleeps around too!"

-Why Bean is and always will be a b*tch and a bad teammate.

So GOAT. :roll:

[QUOTE=SavageMode]Tim Duncan actually knows how to pass a ball and not ball hog.

That's why Kobe bean is currently sitting on his couch eating potato chips, while Duncan is in another finals.[/QUOTE]
Kobe's been in more finals and has more rings and has a 4-2 series edge against Duncan, and even then one of those wins was against a Kobe that was not developed yet.

Everything about this post screams SHAQ. Especially the bolded part.

It's like people dont understand context. Duncan said he's not just going to talk to people when there's nothing to talk about.


Kobe TOLD Smush don't talk to me, like he was a peasant. That's the difference.


And Mark Jackson is a moron

[QUOTE='[GR]']Kobe TOLD Smush don't talk to me, [B]like he was a peasant[/B]. That's the difference. [/QUOTE]
He is. :oldlol:

Although both don't talk to new teammates, the difference is Kobe talks to the media to send his message. Remember the "This is still my team" quote when Dwight arrived?
