its funny how duncan fans are all saying "if duncan wins, hes better than kobe"

[Stringer Bell]

Duncan is slightly greater all-time, and was also a better player at his peak.

Nice bump. This thread was before game 6. And Duncan goes 30/17 and 24/12 in games 6 and 7. Pity they didn't win - so close to 5 rings and 4 FMVPs.

So close indeed nice Finals

Duncan is clearly better than Kobe. Another title just further distances the two.

[Round Mound]

Duncan has always been better at Kobe, even now.

Duncan has his team in the Finals, yet Kobe can't get anything better than a 7 seed with Dwight Howard on his team. Without Phil Kobe is nothing. Phil makes the most of his superstars.

The only time Kobes team has been better than Duncans is when he had the best frontcourt in the league on his team(Prime Shaq and then prime Gasol-Odom-Bynum). When Kobe doesn't have overwhelming talent compared to his competition he comes up short time and time again.
