Kobe should be like the standard for every human being. he should be the ideal person for every children to grow up to be.
Gosh what a winner he is.
lets pray we can have a second coming of him in the future.:pimp:[/QUOTE]
[B][SIZE="7"][U]WHAT MAKES YOU IDIOTS THINK WE ARE ALL WHITE?!?[/U][/SIZE][/B]
I don't understand the people in this board, kobe deserves it.
[COLOR="White"]Here it comes LOL[/COLOR]
White people don't like Kobe.
[QUOTE=thejumpa]Combine that with being the most dominant player most of us have ever seen (and definitely of the decade), and you can definitely make a case.[/QUOTE]
You can make a case for all 3.
If this was 1995 to 2005, I'd give it to Shaq no problem.

Easy: Corniness + terrible jokes + getting mad for meaningless things
What am I supposed to assume?
why are people so mad at this? :oldlol:
it was probably some teenagers who just started watching basketball that voted.
who cares.
Think about this. People say it doesn't matter anymore where you win, etc.
Take the exact same decade Spurs had...put TD and his teammates on the Knicks instead of Spurs, with Knicks getting the 4 championships.
You think TD's reputation/recognition would be much much higher? Of course it would.........
The market still matters........
[quote=thejumpa]White people don't like Kobe.[/quote]
Kobe sure loves us though!
[rimshot]
[QUOTE=Lakeshow23]The only thing people should be upset about is LeBron finishing second.
Kobe winning was pretty much a given.[/QUOTE]
Kobe is the best SG in this decade, but he ain't the best player in this decade. I am a huge LeBron fan, but I don't think he deserved to finished second.
[B]
Tim Duncan [/B]
2x NBA Finals MVP
2x NBA Regular Season MVP
[B]Shaquille O'Neal [/B]
3x NBA Finals MVP
1x NBA Regular Season MVP

Shaq was still the best Center in the Association in 2006.
Not even the Inside the NBA guys voted for him either. It might not just be the fan vote.
Amazing to me that so many of you give a gosh darn about this...
[QUOTE=thejumpa]White people don't like Kobe.[/QUOTE]
Most of his fanbase here in Socal are "White", lol. Anyway, Shaq 1, TD 2. Fans continue to be woefully ignorant.
Most boringest player in basketball doesn't deserve that title boss.

From 2000-2010, the two dynasties were LA and San Antonio. Obviously, Duncan was the man on the Spurs. In most peoples mind, Shaq was the man on the Lakers. Kobe had a great run, especially from 2005-2010. However, I don't think that it's enough to bump either he or Duncan. That's just my opinion, though.
:eek: :no: :mad: at lebrum lamez finishing 2nd, kobe is my 3rd fav player growing up, but shaq akatha real super man should of got it.

You're white, too, there were pics of you posted :banghead:
lol @ the idiots saying it's Shaq.How the **** can you be the player of the DECADE if you weren't even a elite player for half of it? This is easily Duncan or Kobe. No one else has a case.
It's a popularity contest.
I don't even like Tim Duncan, but the guy is the most successful player in this decade.
From 1997-2010 - The Spurs are a Western Conference Powerhouse.
The San Antonio Spurs needs to build a shrine in honor of Tim Duncan.
[QUOTE=Manute for Ever!]You're white, too, there were pics of you posted :banghead:[/QUOTE]
Okay there buddy. :oldlol:
[QUOTE=KenneBell]Not even the Inside the NBA guys voted for him either. It might not just be the fan vote.[/QUOTE]
EJ did. 8% is just pathetic dude. he finished 4th, not even 2nd or 3rd. lol, these polls are meaningless guys. it's just a popularity contest or who your favorite player is. SA isn't a huge market and many find duncan boring, so that's why it breaks down that way. kobe/lebron came away with like 75% of the vote. i mean, lebron should not even be in the top 4. it's a decade, people!
It goes Duncan/Shaq, Shaq/Duncan, Kobe, KG.

So which one is me?
[COLOR=Teal][B]Kobe + LeBron > 6 finals MVPs combined?
Fans these days...
[/B][/COLOR]
Those TNT guys are some haters. Why bother to have fans vote if you shit all over their choice after the fact?
Kobe is the player of the decade. Same number of rings as Shaq and 1 more than Duncan in the decade (Spurs 99 champs) He was also the only one who was still a top 5 player at the end of 2009. I don't see the argument against him..
Duncan easily...I know I'm a KG fan, but KG would of been the best if he had a good supporting cast year after year. KG had a good supporting cast once. They had little time to build chemistry (one year team) and made it all the way to the WCF with injuries. KG was commanding double/triple teams and still towering over guys and dominating the game. It was great. But yeah, Duncan gets my vote easily.
my personal list
Duncan
Kobe
Shaq
Garnett
Lebron
Dont see why people are upset it was either Kobe or Duncan if were talking decade.
Oh wait I think I know why smh..
I see Kobe as being third. Earlier in the decade he wasnt exactly what you would call a "franchise player" or heavy hitting caliber. He was a GOOD, GOOD player, perfect for Shaq, etc....
But best player of the ENTIRE decade? I dont think so.
Clearly to me, it would seem that younger fans do most of the voting on these things.
I see it being...
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
a cheesy gordita crunch to munch...
1. Duncan
2. Kobe/Shaq
3. Kobe/Shaq
2 and 3 can be disputed either way.
btw, lol @ the mad haters crying because Kobe is #1 when the REAL tragedy is that LeBron is #2!
Your agendas are showing. :oldlol:
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
Lebrick
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
KG
LeBron/Wade
[QUOTE=bdreason]Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
KG
LeBron/Wade[/QUOTE]
Sounds right to me.
[B]Except I'd add Iverson [/B]to LeBron/Wade. Why? The man single-handedly took a team with one of the worst supporting casts an Eastern Conference Champion has ever had to the finals, actually maybe the worst. LeBron hasn't done anymore than AI or been anymore dominant in the era. Don't forget the little guy.
So:
1. Shaq
2. Duncan
3. Kobe
4. KG
5. AI/LeBron/Wade
How is it even fair to throw Wade and Lebron into this mix at all? These plays havent even played for the entire decade at all.
[QUOTE=oh the horror]How is it even fair to throw Wade and Lebron into this mix at all? These plays havent even played for the entire decade at all.[/QUOTE]
I agree, but they have been pretty dominant compared to a lot of guys that have played through it.
You know what, you're right. I'd take LeBron off that list. Wade would stay because of his championship and finals performance. Plus he was robbed of an MVP by LeBron last year!
[QUOTE=KenneBell]Kobe does have a case though.[/QUOTE]
He really doesn't though. There is nothing Kobe has done that Shaq and Duncan have not. Oh wait, I got one. That's lead a team to a losing record(2005). Shaq and Duncan have NEVER led a team to a losing record this decade. Even when the Suns missed the playoffs last year, they still were 46-36. I got another one, that's quit on his team in Game 7 of a playoff series, in which a 3-1 lead was choked away. I just thought of another one too. That's being responsible for the greatest collapse in Finals history(2008 Game 4), as well as the worst loss in Finals history(2008 Game 6). So yeah, Kobe's surpassed Shaq and Duncan in those categories.
I got some things that Shaq and Duncan have done that Kobe hasn't. Both Shaq and Duncan have carried the load offensively for their teams, while at the same time, being their teams anchor defensively, for multiple seasons. They've also lead their teams to the Finals, being the main go to scoring option, en route to multiple Finals MVPs. Kobe, last year, barely did what Shaq and Duncan have done over and over again. They are without doubt, 1/2 of this decade. That is where the real debate is though. I've seen people on this board illustrate excellent arguments for both Shaq and Duncan in regards to player of the decade. IMO, you can't go wrong for selecting either.
[QUOTE=McFly2High4em]
Kobe should be like the standard for every human being. he should be the ideal person for every children to grow up to be.
[/QUOTE]
:rolleyes: So I see there's another new Kobe troll on the board. I'll be sure to remember to tell kids that it's ok for them to rape women and get away with it, as well as display a selfish, egotistical, arrogant attitude at school/in the workplace and fight with their classmates/co-workers because they want all the attention on them. I can kind of understand why someone would be this way though. When a person's been pampered and fed everything on a silver spoon their entire life, I guess someone would have a false sense of entitlement. It's like that spoiled kid you may have known back in high school who could get away with murder and if we tried even half the sh*t they did, we knew what our parents would have in store for us. Those of us who have had to work hard for everything we've got in life, feel angry at someone being able to prance around with a holier than thou attitude while getting everything they want without having to put in the required work.
On a another note, it's criminal as well that Lebron James finishes higher than Shaq and Duncan. I really don't want to get into what Lebron has accomplished that Shaq and Duncan haven't. The disparity is far greater than for Kobe. This generation of fans is EASILY the dumbest. Good to see the guys at TNT know what's up. I have this strange feeling that the morons at ESPN would back this fan poll up. :rolleyes: I'm off to bed, and yes, I agree with whoever said(Manute for Ever I think), fans should be stripped of their voting for all things NBA. Sh*ts gotten ridiculous.
[QUOTE=Doranku]1. Duncan
2. Kobe/Shaq
3. Kobe/Shaq
2 and 3 can be disputed either way.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this list. The pick for player of the decade should be pretty obvious, and for obvious reasons too. Imo nobody should be rank over Tim Duncan. there's no clear answer to who the no.2 should be though. both Shaq n Kobe are deserving

You'd take shaq over kobe from 2000-2005, and take kobe over shaq from 2006-2010 imo. In saying that though, what Shaq did from 2000-2005 completely eclipses anything Kobe has done over the 10 year span, and his dominance from 2000-2005 is far far far superior to Kobe's dominance from 2005-2010. IMO shaq should be over Kobe no contest.
Shaq and Duncan is where the real dispute is imo
should have been:
35% Timmy
30% Shaq
30% Kobe
the remaining 5% were idiots doin' it wrong.
Ah well, tomorrow no one will remember those "best of decade polls". :confusedshrug:
