The real question should be: Who will finish with more rings as the #1 option?
Duncan 3
Kobe 1
Can Kobe win 2 more championships as the #1 option?
Kobe right now with 5 (spelled five, for Spur fans)
Duncan right now with 4
Who finishes with more NBA Championship rings?

The in between.![]()
When will Laker Fan stop begging for respect when they know Ko is deserving of none?
Tim definitely. kobe is down by 2 and isn't likely to win any more rings
They'll probably finish tied. Duncan gets his 5th this year, then the SuperFriends win the next 10
Duncan is 4 for 4 in the Finals.
Kobe is 5 for 7 in the Finals.
Kobe technically has more rings but Duncan still has more Finals MVPs.
How do you technically have more rings? You either have them or you do not.
If Duncan never gets another one, he's a HOFer and no one will give a in 2 years. Magic had 5, but Bird did not. We still look at Bird as one of the best ever...
Plus Tim called and said he doesn't give a what you think. I'd take him at his word.
Probably not you.
I used the word "technically" because Kobe didn't earn all of his rings. Three of rings were a part of his marriage to Shaq so it's not fair to say that he did it all by himself. Duncan was always the main man on his team. I know that Parker won the Finals MVP in 2007 but Duncan was the leader and go to guy on that team.
For the record, if Kobe and Shaq had never gotten divorced, that team probably would have won like 5 or 6 championships in a row and would probably be the greatest team in NBA history.
what kind of dip thinks Duncan wasn't the #1 option for all 4?
Question- when the world comes to an end..which nba fan will have posted more kobe threads. Spurs fan or Laker fan?
Duncon will not win anymore championships...so yes it will be Kobe with more rings
The safe bet is Kobe since he is one up on Duncan. The better question is . . . Why does it matter?
lol suggesting Texans don't know who SRV is.
What a moron.
Of course Kobe Bryant, they can trade bench player/s for Superstar.
Lol at people who can't answer a simple question.
good point..so when duncan gets his 5th this year, it wont count since hes obviously not the #1 option.
LOL at shaq and Kobe winning 5-6 more championships in a row....they couldnt even beat the Spurs in 2003 and the Pistons in 2004. What makes ou think they can win 5 more in a row after that? LOL

It counts in terms of how many les Duncan has, but using his 5th championship as a means to say, put him in the top 5 players of all time would be ridiculous, unless he averages 18+ and 11+ per game with a couple of blocks to go with it in the playoffs this year. Even then, he's not Atlas anymore, the weight of the Spurs doesn't sit alone on his shoulders. He's obviously not the player he was, and his teammates are carrying him on offense.
Having said that, he's still the frame. He's the man that holds everything else together. If Duncan were traded tomorrow for a 1st round draft pick, this team would have no shot at winning a le and very little shot at making a top 3 seed. With him on the floor, we have a chance to beat anyone.
The Shaq-Kobe thing was done. That team as constructed was simply not cut out for more les. Just curious though, how do you feel about Shaq's 4th ring with D-Wade?LOL at shaq and Kobe winning 5-6 more championships in a row....they couldnt even beat the Spurs in 2003 and the Pistons in 2004. What makes ou think they can win 5 more in a row after that? LOL
