kobe fans worst nightmare come true? nah. its a duncan/lebron fans worst nightmare

[kennethgriffin]

neither duncan or lebron can pass kobe in rings

neither duncan or lebron can pass kobe in finals

neither duncan or lebron can pass kobe in titles won with scrubs ( sasha/farmer/odumb/gasoft )

but...

no matter what...

one of them will lose. and it will be devastating to their legacy

either

a) duncan loses and he chokes away 2 finals both times with 2 better teams. once with a blown wide open layup to win it all. and another time with homecourt advantage.. basically throwing away any chance at catching kobes 5 titles with an epic career ending failure

or

b) lebron loses and he ends up being known as the guy who lost to a 40 year old tim duncan on the way to being 2 for 5 in nba finals ( a losing finals record and epic failure. leading to the break up of the miami heat )




one of either duncan or lebron will be tarnishing their legacy... kobe won his last 2 finals. his career is set in stone and hes locked in his place all time

duncan and lebron fans need to be the ones that are worried

one of them will come out on top.

but the other will be shat out the bottom down the shit pole like a sh*t covered fireman and he cant climb back up cause the polls too slippery. the harder they try and climb up. the faster they fall back down.





sh*t polls

no doubt this is driving kobe crazy

[EnoughSaid]

On one hand you have the greatest power forward to ever play the game, and on the other you have the eventual top 3 player of all time.

Nobody gives a shit about how any of this impacts Kobe. The league hasn't been about him for 4 years now.

[kennethgriffin]

one of them has to lose though


one of duncan or lebron will be ruining their careers

the negatives for one of them outweigh the positives for both no matter the outcome

either duncans known as a failure

or lebrons known as a failure

[kennethgriffin]

losing his last 2 chances to catch kobe = devastating

or

going 2 for 5 in finals and losing to 40 year old duncan = devastating


























pick one

One of them has to lose every single year you ****ing idiot. This is definitely a nightmare scenario for #TeamKobe.

[T_L_P]

I love how the argument used to be "Kobe has more rings" and now it's become "rings won with scrubs."

Here's another one: rings won as the best player on their team. Duncan sits at 4, at least 3. LeBron sits on 2, could be 3. Kobe only has 2.

Kobe stans on the back foot the past two years. It's incredibly funny.

Either which way, Lebron and TD have made the distance between themselves above Kobe much greater by both being in the Finals again. They DONT decline for making a Finals

[LeBron 06]

Being in the finals is an achievement...This is better to be in final that lose in the first round or missed the playoffs


Even if LeBron loses, his career is not over and for Duncan the fact that he plays at a very high level at age 38 with a contender is unbelievable

[kennethgriffin]

its the scenarios. not the fact that they didnt win


when you lose in the finals. the world takes notice.

its way more damaging to choke away 2 finals as the better team and come so close but to fail. more so than any other alternative

and its way more damaging to be known as 2 for 5 in the finals and losing to a 40 year old than any alternative


everyone brings up kobes 2004 finals

its their ammo

nobody says "remember 2003"


lol failing on the biggest stage under the worst circumstances and storylines and tarnishing legacies is hard to make up for. its hard to overcome

these last 2 black eyes will be the last thing we remember about duncan

or

this last black eye for lebron will be the last thing we remember about the heat. and all people will say is


2 for 5










2 for 5













2 for 5

this

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Please stop with this "losing in the finals is worse than losing in the first round" crap. It makes no sense. Funny thing is the same people who do this will make fun of other players like Melo, cp3, tmac (especially) for not making it out of the early rounds. ****ing hypocrites.

Magic Johnson has lost 4 times in the finals......His career is probably a failure ....
