Duncan won't surpass Kobe.....

[9erempiree]

...and here's why, it's very easy, if Spurs beat Miami, Duncan will never surpass Kobe because he's never defended his title and go back to back. That is why I have Kobe ahead of Duncan.

We know for a fact that every time Kobe wins a championship, he has gone to win another one. Duncan has won many rings, to his credit, but he can never defend his title. Defending your title is what makes players become legends.

Did you say Kobe or Shaq?

Because Shaq was the leader of the 3peat

Wow. That's an incredibly arbitrary criteria but I guess it's the last possible straw to grasp.

Many people do for this same reason. It's the Kobe haters that put Duncan ahead of Kobe.

I have been arguing this for years and never needed to bring it up but out of the top 10 greats of all time, Duncan has never went back to back.

Repeating is something that's very underrated. Shaq did it. Hakeem did it. MJ too.

If you want to look up past champions and FMVP, what separates a majority of these guys is their ability to repeat.

Did the phrase.....back to back....3peat....4peat mean anything to you guys?

Kobe can string titles together. Duncan wins once every 3 years on average. 3 years is enough time to rebuild and win.

Lakers have been stringing Finals wins and appearances.

Impressively enough, each new thread started by the OP is more ignorant and worse than the last thread he started.

Kobestan coming to grips with the lose-lose situation he/she is about to face the next two weeks

It's not the last straw. It has always been a criteria. A guy winning twice in 5 years isn't as good as the guy that goes back to back. It has been that way for years.

You just heard of it now because I didn't need to remind people this. Now that Duncan is back in the Finals and people are saying he's going to pass Kobe, I have to remind people of this.

Hakeem would not be where he's at if it wasn't for his back to back titles.

Or people with sense.

Your argument is booty chatter, nothing more.
