Are we going to ignore what Kobe is doing?

[Benoit]

Complete dominance from the Mamba in the past 4 games despite having a bum shoulder

Tim Duncan is averaging 8 and 5 but he's the missing piece against the Dubs lmao

Kobe with 27 and 12 on the road in a win and hardly a mention but Aldridge has the same game at home and they are acting like they won the championship in the Spurs section

[Xevious]

Kobe has led his team to an 11-41 record and just won against another bottom dweller. Nobody's ignoring a damn thing.

I admit I like the Lakers too, so what?

Most Warriors and Lakers fans respect each other, we are in the same region and never had a rivalry. What we did for Kobe on his tribute night was something the Dubs would never do for anybody else. Steph and Klay idolised him and Jerry West drafted him

Ask any Lakers fan and you won't find any that hate us.

Right you summed it up you were a Lakerfan during the championship years and then switched to the Warriors once the Lakers were a lottery squad thus you are bandwagon jumper. I'm laughing hard at the rivalry part considering there was never a rivalry with the Lakers and Warriors other than geography.That's equivalent to Rocket fans claiming they was a rivalry with the Spurs during the Duncan era because of the geography. A real rivalry is when two teams meat up consistently in the playoffs outside of that there is no rivalry. That to me is very laughable of course Lakers fans are not going to hate the Warriors since they were never competing with the Lakers for championships like the Spurs were during Kobe's prime. Your reasoning for liking Kobe is profoundly stupid simply because Klay and Steph liked him. :lol Honestly I wish Steph and Klay had Kobe's FG percentage it would make the Warriors very easy to beat. You don't see spurs fans liking the Lakers despite Duncan being a huge a fan of Magic and the 80's showtime Lakers. I'm sure Kawhi was also a Kobe fan growing up in southern California but again we don't give a shit about those trivial things.

In a nutshell spur fans and laker fans hate each other which goes way back to '99 when the Spurs swept the Lakers. Phil Jackson took over the next year claimed the Spurs were asterisk champs and were not real champions. That pretty much started the arms race in which both fan bases discredited each other's championships. Kobe to me is a great player but definitely not top 10 he's somewhere in the top 25. The Spurs fan base is one of the few fan bases that are not in awe of Kobe simply because we have seen first hand how he can't do shit without a great big man whether its Shaq or Gasol. He's a volume shooter that needs great bigs to clean up his misses on the offensive end or his team will lose.

I guarantee you the Laker fan base will start hating the Warriors if Steph ever gets a chance to approach 5 titles simply because it hurts Kobe's legacy. Anyways real talk how many championships do you see the Curry Warriors winning?

If Kobe was LMA's age and just acquired this year, and if the Lakers had the Spurs' record, they'd have a reason to celebrate Kobe's game as if it mattered. We know that Kobe can score the ball, pretty sure that's been known for a few years. He's old, not dead.

He has had more horrible games than good ones, so I don't really get excited. But at this stage of their career I'd say Kobe>Duncan

Duncan is just lucky he got to play in a great team this late in his career.

and that's just a testament to how great Kobe was, he came back from two severe injuries and is still dropping 30+ pts, and Spurs fans I have a feeling are going to get a little taste of his greatness tonight, one last time.

Highest DRating on the team (of the regulars), 4th highest in WS, 3rd highest in DWS, first in DBPM, 2nd in BPM, 2nd in VORP. Yeah, he is just lucky he's on a good team that he had no impact on.

It's not what I said, it's the numbers and they all back me up. Kobe has been leading the Lakers to the worst season in their history, while Duncan is the glue and defensive anchor, and Kobe is having a better season? Okaaaaaaaaayyyyyy.

It is common sense to know that common sense do not come in units, as in, "I have one common sense".

Yeah, Duncan really killed Kobe this year, and last, and the year before that as well, as well as their entire career. It's actually quite sad for a Laker fan, so I am not sure why you are laughing.

if they can beat them with Duncan being a deciding factor I'll gladly accept I was wrong.

:rollin Duncan barely plays anymore

All these stupid random stats are irrelevant

Duncan is like the 8th best player on the Spurs while Kobe still has to carry a team with no talent and Byron Scott

If Duncan was a top 2 or even top 3 option on his team, he wouldnt have survived 10 games this season

So wait, if having Duncan will turn the Spurs from a team they lost by 30 to a win then Duncan would be more valuable than Kobe? What has Kobe done against the Warriors?

Since when did the Warriors became the gauge? And if that, the lakers lost by 34 points to GSW with Kobe and only 21 without Kobe the next time vs GSW. With that logic, as long as the Spurs don't lose by 43+ to the GSW with Duncan, Duncan would have a stronger impact than Kobe.

Also, you're an idiot.

A real Warrior fans would not get butthurt about Duncan being ranked ahead of Kobe on the all-time rankings like you did:lol.
