people always wanted a kobe/lebron finals. but the magic/bird of the 00's was...
Kobe vs Duncan
they met 6 times in the playoffs
kobe won 4 of them and 5 titles while duncan won 2 of them and 3 titles
1960's - Russell vs Wilt = biggest rivalry
1970's - ( a few small rivalries. nothing spectacular )
1980's - Magic vs Bird = biggest rivalry
1990's - Jordan vs Malone = biggest rivalry
2000's - Kobe vs Duncan
2010's - Lebron vs Durant
so dont be sad about lebron not being good enough to be realistic competition until after kobes prime. its 2 completely different eras
kobe came in the nba in 96... lebron came in nearly a decade later in 2004
dunno why people think of lebron as a 2000's player. he didnt win anything. he was barely a blip on the radar during kobes time
at most he got espn awards for regular season per's ... aka mvps

They tried to push a Durant / Lebron but Durant IMO is still not at that level where he can play the game the right way both mentally and physically.

Why are you so ****ing insecure?
If Duncan wins he is above Kobe. If Lebron wins he is above Kobe too.
There is no hope for Kenneth

Lol. Nobody watched Spurs vs. Lakers in the early 2000's to see Kobe vs. Duncan. It was Duncan vs. Shaq they watched for.

pretty sure kobe was the more popular player
and kobe was averaging 35ppg and dropping 40+ during those spurs/lakers series
kobe was the mvp during those matchups. not shaq
the only times shaq lead the lakers in scoring vs sanantonio was when the lakers got swept in 1999

well when you're comparing a big to a guard its the only tie breaker when
Duncan rebounding >
Kobe play making >
Both guys are elite defenders ( kobe 9 first team all defenses ) ( duncan 8 first team all defenses )
really the only way to compare the 2 is scoring and individual matchups
kobe = 4>2
and you saw the scoring
if theyre tied in rings you look at what each guy did for them. kobe did allot more

sorry.. shaq didnt win any all decade awards
Kobe = TNT player of the 2000's
Kobe = Dime Player of the 2000's
Kobe = Slam Player of the 2000's
Kobe = Sports Illustrated top 10 athlete of the 2000's ( Duncan/Shaq not there)
shaq was finished by 2005.. and kobe was mvp/averaging 35ppg when the lakers played the spurs
and like i said before.. shaq got swept when he was leading the way in 1999.. he needed kobe to get passed duncan

Lakers vs Spurs 2001
4-0 Sweep
Kobe = 33.3ppg / 7.0rpg / 7.0apg
Shaq = 27.0ppg / 13.0rpg / 2.5apg
LOL kobe ran the show against the best competition back when shaq was winning finals mvps against nobodies cause he knew he could hog against a sh*t eastern team without hurting their chances
