This is why you can't compare Duncan and Kobe's longevity...

[DMAVS41]

Dude, Kobe "sat out" the last 3 post-seasons... and the Spurs are playing the worst team in the league (Philly is what 1-21?)

This times a million...

[DaOldLion]

The hypocrisy of Kobe fans is truly something to behold.

The same group that yells "5 rings" on repeat now wants circumstances to matter a lot here?

Also, on what ****ing planet is Shaq for 8 years and very good supporting casts with Gasol for another 4 years....carrying scrubs?

With Phil Jackson coaching.

So...Kobe fans...then you admit Dirk's longevity blows Kobe's out of the water...right?

Because Dirk played with way less help and way worse coaching than Kobe...so we have to give Dirk a huge boost in comparison to Kobe...right?

geez dude before you bust a nut typing the novels that you always bust out for Kobe threads (almost every single Kobe thread) take a minute to realize that OP is pretty obviously talking about the end of the 2013 season when Kobe was playing close to 40 mpg carrying his team into the playoffs

take your Dirk vs Kobe nonsense somewhere else, nobody cares

[Jameerthefear]

I'm pretty sure he missed the entire 2014 season and played 37 games last year and the Lakers were lottery teams both years

so what the kind of argument is that

What?


What? That team ****ing sucked Kobe or not you moron.

i'm not a kobe fan or anything (he's a cancerous tumor)

BUT lol @ duncan's "longevity". on offense he is shit, and barely plays these days. 27mpg? those are starter minutes?

duncan fans need to stop giving him all the credit for his teams' success. its a ****ing joke how overrated this bronze-winning stiff has become.

you don't boil down longevity to one season playing with Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol while you complain about carrying scrubs

The fact that you morons think the 13 Lakers sucked outside of Kobe is yet another reason why Kobe fans are the dumbest fan base by far

[buddha]

nobody actually thinks Duncan is a better player than Kobe.

[Gus Hemmingway]

LOL @ Kobe carrying Dwight, Gasol, Nash, Metta

two sides of the ball...playing legit dpoy type defense actually matters

you make it sound like he's done nothing offensively...I bet his numbers the last 5 years are something like 15/10/3....LOL...that is unreal good when you factor in his all time great defense

Even Californian's barely recognise Kobe (54/46).

14ppg the last 3 seasons

omfg

GOAT offensive player!!!

duncan fans are the absolute worst. idiots

^^^ he's only playing 27 minutes a game, so of course his defensive stats will be skewed. they don't compare to other starters who bust their ass for 4 quarters.

are you trying to look stupid?

do you really think anyone has argued that Duncan has been a great offensive player lately?

why is this guy always so angry in Kobe threads?

this is what the Lakers looked like in the playoffs without Kobe

Dwight
Pau (who was playing out of system/beefed with coach)
Metta
Steve Blake
Chris Duhon
Earl Clark
Darius Morris
Jodie Meeks
Jordan Hill

without Kobe they got swept in the playoffs and received the worst loss in Lakers playoff history..
so obviously they really weren't that good without him


I'm not even a Kobe fan but to try and act like he was going ****ing off towards the end of 2013 and carrying that team up for the last half of the season up (especially the last month) is just a hater

[ShawkFactory]

Spurs are also playing one of the worst teams of all time, who would still be winless right now if it weren't for Kobe and the lakers.

[DaOldLion]

What?

Thanks for agreeing with me

that other poster tried to use their W/L without Kobe these past few years against him..

Please don't straw man.

I never said that Kobe didn't play great in 13 (at least on offense he did)

I said that boiling down longevity to one season....while claiming he's carrying scrubs....is stupid...not only because there are many things about Kobe's first 9 years that were way easier than Duncan's, but because that 13 team was not scrubs

Sorry...they just weren't

Kobe made it look harder that in should have been...because he didn't even pretend to play defense and couldn't work with his teammates to play the best the team could play

If you can't see this obvious shit...it's on you
