Most players have their 2 most iconic shots each from different games. For Timmy, he had both in the matter of a second :lol



The result of each shot?

[ElNono]

^ shhhh... you got your sorry ass Swept :rollin

http://www.animateit.net/data/media/185/broomswp.gif

[spurraider21]

I like that you posted a picture of Kobe making a jump shot in a 1st round series that you lost :lol

[Arnold Toht]

^ Yet, it didn't do any change to the fact that is:


Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

[ElNono]

^ Here's another fact... you got Swept :lmao

[spurraider21]

Who remember's when Arnold Toht (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=43085)'s Mavs swept the sorry as Lakers in 2011?



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGXvf-zXfeE

[Arnold Toht]

^^ yet, you couldn't capitalize on it and level the 5-4 stick.

[Arnold Toht]

Yet, they capitalized on it::

Dirk: 1
Kobe: 5

[ElNono]

^ yet, you couldn't avoid getting Swept by my Spurs :lol

[spurraider21]

^Your boy's swept the sorry ass Lakers???

http://i.qkme.me/3paixf.jpg

[Arnold Toht]

There you go, big fella. You're a 4-time NBA World Champion now.

[Arnold Toht]

http://i.qkme.me/3paixf.jpg

My Lakers were swept by Dirk, and Dirk capitalized on that opportunity by ringing. He had the playoff run of a lifetime. Duncan? Can't say the same for him.

[spurraider21]

^ "my spurs"

There you go, big fella. You're a 4-time NBA World Champion now.

and yet when I look at you, i see:

My Team: Dallas Mavericks

[ElNono]

Toht got Swept :lmao

My Team: Dallas Mavericks

Look beyond the surface.

[ElNono]

^ Let's take a look at the Sweep :lmao

[Arnold Toht]

^ yet again, look beyond the surface::

We got swept is the face.

You couldn't capitalize on championship #5 is the context.

[ElNono]

^ We ended your season... Sweeeeeeeeep :lmao

shhhhhhh Lakerfan :lmao

[Arnold Toht]

^ Therefore, the sweep is of no use. Just like when the Suns swept your sorry asses in '10. They had no business bragging about it, and we showed them why. Kobe finished them in 6, and we went on to ring while the Sunfan couldn't say a damn thing about it.

[spurraider21]

[HI-FI]

so obvious Arnold is Thread. minor character from a classic film, quotes throwaway line, stays up late with endless arguing because Katie girl is too busy using a dildo instead.

probably doesn't want to return as Thread ever since turning into chicken shit from the Sweep.

and if it's not Thread, then it could be Rogue, who is savvy enough to emulate his mentor.

[Arnold Toht]

^ 0-for-12.

[ElNono]

^ 0-for-4... Swept :rollin

[ElNono]

so obvious Arnold is Thread

You nailed it, tbh... I thought it was weird when he called me "El" a couple times... I went back and did a search and sure enough, only Thread calls me that :lol

He'll probably disavow it, but you're spot on. :tu

Actually, I take it back. I have KillaKobe calling me El too... hmmmm....

[Arnold Toht]

0-for-14?

[ElNono]

^ 0-for-4 works though... Ends in a Sweep

[HI-FI]

Actually, I take it back. I have KillaKobe calling me El too... hmmmm....

i'd be shocked if its Killa. just not his style, he rarely trolls or hangs on here that long. probably passed out with a DFW hooker right now tbh. only one poster I know that will stay awake and keep wasting bandwidth with the same tired schtick. plus Thread had mentioned needing to take a break, something about his recent story taking him to a dark place (which probably smells like chicken shit).

[Arnold Toht]

[AchillesHeel]

Kobe's biggest playoff moment came in the 1st round, a game-winner in a series where they choked a 3 - 1 lead

Kirby stans mad Lebron is a better playoff performer than Kirby. One of the greatest close-out game performers with over 33 ppg in game 7's, Game 6 vs Boston last year, Game 5 Finals triple double to win his 1st title, this year the game-winner against Indy, headband game vs my Spurs and Game 7 clutch jump shots. Then we go back to Bron's Cleveland days, the epic game vs Pistons, the 3 to win the game vs Magic, getting his team to the Finals at age 22 while prime Kirby was a 1st round exit until Pau came along.

Laker fans are mad salty, they will never get over the fact Lebron goes down as the better player, 2 championships and he's already regarded as a top 10 player, he will retire with more pts, rebs,ast,steals,blocks and his averages destroy Kirby's. I feel for you laker fans.

nono gettin his troll on :lol

[AchillesHeel]

Kirby was so amazing in the 2004 Finals

[Arnold Toht]

^ so many chokes and yet he's up 5-4 over Duncan. Makes me wonder.

[AchillesHeel]

Duncan didn't have prime Shaq to carry him for first 8 years of his career

[Arnold Toht]

But he has had Tony Parker do the alpha work for past 7 years. And he still can't gain any ground on the 5-4 stick, Kobe on top.

[AchillesHeel]

Tony Parker playing like shit along with Manu in Game 6 cost Spurs the title. TP didn't even have enough energy to play the deciding Final minutes of Games 6 and 7, Pop had to bench him and trust Manu with the championship in his hands. Manu missed the FT in Game 6, Manu turned the ball over 8 times. All Timmy did was miss a layup that would have not even decided the game because Spurs lost by 7.

[Arnold Toht]

Duncan: 4

I summed you up in 249 fewer characters.

[AchillesHeel]

I summed you up in 249 fewer characters.

Kirby:5
Duncan:6

[Arnold Toht]

You can do it yourself as well. See, it's that easy.

But he has had Tony Parker do the alpha work for past 7 years. And he still can't gain any ground on the 5-4 stick, Kobe on top.

Tony Parker the last 7 years:

18.8 pts .505% 3 reb 6.5 ast .9 stl 2.5 TO 1 finals mvp 0 MVP

Shaq's 8 years with kobe

27 pts .575% 11.8 reb 3.1 ast 2.5 blk 2.8 to 3 finals mvp 1 mvp

great comparison, once you look past the 11 inches and 145 pounds difference in size the similarity is uncanny!

also, hilarious that the OP pics that define kobe's greatness are from a PO loss and a RS game. You forgot the the block on lebron in the AS game for the trifecta of irrelevance.

[DMC]

In all honesty, each of them will have the following legacies (to people who don't know the game):

Tim: Who? That quiet guy in San Antonio who was supposedly one of the best players of all time.

Kobe: That guy who raped that girl in Colorado but paid her off so she would drop the case (true or not)

To those who know the game:

Tim: Greatest Power Forward who ever played the game. Great teammate, great person. Unselfish. Nerdy. Thinker, gets inside opponents heads and gets an advantage, especially against mentally weak big men like Howard and KG. Sole reason the Spurs are the greatest franchise in all of sports (success related) since Tim has been in the league. His game has been ridiculously consistent over his tenure. Even Spurs fans expect the wheels to fall off only to learn he's getting better. Might, however, get tagged as having sand bagged a few years of his career (unfairly) since he's shown the ability to come in at a lower weight and be much more effective when needed at an older stage of his life (generally opposite of most bigs). His divorce and all the gay talk won't even be considered because it's not cost him anything. He made the Finals with a legit shot at winning in the twilight of his career even while going through a divorce. Never had overwhelming odds in his favor. Never threatened to quit (to the media) if he didn't get what he wanted.

Kobe: Assassin on the court, mentally enclosed and selfish to a flaw. Not liked by most of his teammates or coaches. Has an unyielding will to win but only if it makes him look better. Patterned his game after Michael Jordan, maybe a better outside shooter than Michael but many people were. Has high hopes that often get dashed because of his tendency to play hero ball instead of team basketball. Thrives under the triangle offense but was the reason Phil Jackson retired both times. Could have 7 or 8 rings if he hadn't run Shaq out of town, and got his second chance under Pau but couldn't keep his team together even though he's self proclaimed as the "compass" in his "Kobe Doin' Work" Spike Lee Joint production that got 6.5 out of 10 on IMDB.com. Has 5 championships. Maybe top 10 all time in terms of successes, but definitely top 5 in terms of controversy. Widely accepted that his rape trial that stemmed from his lack of self control off the court cost the Lakers a championship and eventually broke up maybe the most dominant team in the past 30 years. So although he's got a crown, he's had the sword of Damocles over his head since Shaq left, and a few times it's fallen on him.

One more thing about Kobe and to an extent, Lakers fans: They believe that if Kobe catches Mike in numbers he catches Mike. The rest of the NBA world knows that to not be the case.

I mentioned the crown and sword pertaining to Kobe, but it's not something he earned. It's something that was foisted upon him by a large market fan base who needed their version of MJ so badly that they were willing to anoint the person who wanted that moniker badly enough to abandon their own persona and accept the role of clone candidate.

It's played out like a Greek tragedy in that he's obviously not who he wanted to be and sees now that he probably won't even get the numbers needed to even mount a decent case for his likeness to MJ.

Only time will tell how he handles that.

Truth bomb. They needed a new flag carrier after MJ retired and Kobe was the chosen one. Kobe is a great player and there's never any doubt about that but to say he's the 2nd coming of MJ is too big an eulogy for him imho. Top 10-15 player of all time, arguably the lower half of top 10 but it would be hilarious to put him in the top 5 imho.

Most players have their 2 most iconic shots each from different games. For Timmy, he had both in the matter of a second :lol



The result of each shot?

Duncan, Parker shoot down defending champs

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kobe Bryant (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3118) left the court in tears as the three-year championship reign of the Los Angeles Lakers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=lal) came to a decisive end.
"I hate this feeling, I don't ever want to feel it again,'' Bryant said Thursday night after a 110-82 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs, the last team other than Los Angeles to win an NBA title, had been ousted by the Lakers in each of the past two seasons.
"We've been put down by these guys the last couple of years,'' Tim Duncan (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?statsId=3173) said after getting 37 points and 16 rebounds to lead the wipeout. "More than ending their reign, that felt a lot better -- ending their season and going on.''



Spurs, Duncan Sweep Lakers



Daily News Wire ServicesPOSTED: May 24, 1999











Tim Duncan remembers when the San Antonio Spurs were a struggling, sub-.500 team. That was less than three months ago.
Boy, have things changed. And he's the main reason.
Duncan, who seems to get a little better every day, had 33 points, 13 rebounds and four assists yesterday to lead the visiting Spurs to a 118-107 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, completing a four-game sweep of the Western Conference semifinal series.
A day earlier, Duncan had 37 points, 14 rebounds and four assists in a 103-91 victory.

Spurs already got their sweep on the way to a ring over Kobe and the Lakers.

Lakers are nothing but a residue on the West coast from the huge shit Fredo took on his father's legacy. Right now Doc Rivers, the same guy who beat your ass by 40 in a Finals closeout game, is coaching the real LA team.
