[ArbitraryWater]

The Player who had the best season WAS the best player in the nba in 2007...

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Sheed.

[Deuce Bigalow]

For real? niceee heh

Deuce, put me down for LeBron/Dirk

How can I put you down for 2 players?

[zoom17]

Duncan

[Keno]

LeBron James. Took a garbage team to the NBA Finals, his best Magic Johnson impression ever IMO + elite D.

pretty much this. cavs had no business being in that finals, it was all because of one player.

duncan

[Shep]

Tim Duncan.

its funny how whenever theres a discussion about who was the best player. peoples criteria changes to fit their agenda

if its a year kobe won finals mvp and a title.. the best regular season player is their criteria

then if its a year kobe didnt win finals mvp and a title.. that suddenly becomes the reasoning for their pick

kobe cant be the best in 2007.. duncan won a title ( and even though parker won finals mvp and has been carrying the spurs every year since... its still duncans team )

kobe cant be the best in 2003.. duncan won a title

kobe cant be the best in 2009.. lebron was mvp of the regular season


kobe cant be the best in 2006... wade was finals mvp

kobe cant be the best in 2010.. lebron was mvp of the regular season

notice a trend

fact is kobe was the best player in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and it was a tie in 2010 with lebron.. then lebron took over the league

best player doesnt change every year. its a torch.. durants taking lebrons torch right now. but theyre sort of tied aswell. by next year he'l have that next 4-5 year run at the top

Sorry, but the problem with your post is that you act like Kobe was simply better than he was.

Did you really just bring up 03? That was peak Duncan and he was clearly better than Kobe.

Kobe absolutely has an argument in 06...the problem is that Duncan, Dirk, and Wade all have legit claims as well. And if the regular season matters so much to you...Lebron's regular season was every bit as good as Kobe's. And Lebron was better in the playoffs;

35/5/5 56% TS...Kobe

31/7/7 57% TS...Lebron

Yea...Kobe was just clearly better...

Not to mention Kobe was easily worse in the playoffs...choking in game 7 and quitting on his team....LOL...


07? Kobe has an argument for sure. I just think Duncan was better. Not crazy at all. And it's not just the playoffs....I thought Duncan was a better player. 20/11/4 and anchoring the 2nd best defense...and then going for 22/12/3 and anchoring an elite defense in the playoffs. Give me that over what Kobe brought in 07.

Thought Kobe was the best player in 08. Most people bring up Paul, but I actually think 08 KG is dramatically under-rated here.

Thought Lebron was better in 09 and 10.

You act like it's controversial to say the above...it simply isn't. You just can't see it because you love Kobe so much.

Start counting Deuce you counted in that stupid thread full of Lebron haters and Alts is it because that Duncan is leading the votes.

This could be avoided if kobe had won it all (mvp, ring & fmvp) in a season. 09 lebron was certainly better, 10 you can debate though.

Duncan - 5
Lebron - 4
Kobe - 4
Dirk - 2
KG - 1

Duncan - 5
Lebron - 4
Kobe - 4
Dirk - 2
KG - 1

Who the **** is voting for Dirk in 07? I mean I know 6 games doesn't make a year, but he has no argument for best player after that Warriors series.

[Gifted Mind]

I was hoping this thread would have more discussion. Deuce Bigalow are you going to make any argument for Kobe Bryant? Do you seem more convinced Duncan may have actually been the better player?
