Boiled down...
Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4
Lately, Kobe fan has been making a big deal about their hero's climb up on the all-time scoring list. Every time Kobe passes another all-time great, a player he is usually inferior to, these idiots gather around and circle jerk their testicles dry. I find this behavior amusing considering it comes from a fanbase who claims to not care about regular season achievements, and who will often insult fans of opposing teams for being proud of their favorite team or player's regular season accomplishments. A common mantra of asshole Laker fan is, "Congrats on your -insert regular season accomplishment here- banner."
So that said, let's cut out the bull and examine the leaderboards that really matter. Playoff leaderboards.
Since Kobe fan is once again starting many a Duncan thread, which illustrates their insecurity of the fact that Duncan is the more decorated individual performer, I figured it'd be interesting to compare Kobe and Duncan's individual rankings and see who ranks better overall.
Points: Kobe 4th, Duncan 7th.
Rebounds: Duncan 5th, Kobe 40th.
Blocks: Duncan 4th, Kobe 35th.
Assists: Kobe 11th, Duncan 32th.
Steals: Kobe 7th, Duncan 56th.
True Shooting %: Duncan 94th, Kobe 115th.
Offensive rating: Kobe 102nd, Duncan 103rd.
Defensive rating: Duncan 15th, Kobe 142nd.
Win Shares: Duncan 6th, Kobe 9th.
PER: Duncan 5th, Kobe 20th.
Finals MVPs: Duncan 3 (in 4 Finals appearances), Kobe 2 (in 7 Finals appearances).
As you can see, both players win the categories they're supposed to. Kobe wins the perimeter stats, like steals and assists; and Duncan wins the big man stats, like rebounds and blocks. However, Duncan takes every advanced stat but one: offensive rating. And even then, Kobe is only one place above Duncan in that category, while Duncan is significantly ranked higher in all other advanced areas.
Now we know Kobefan will dismiss advanced stats because they have never been favorable to their boy, but as much as they will want to deny it, advanced stats are a legitimate statistical measurement and are useful when comparing players.
Finally tally: Duncan 7, Kobe 4.

Kobe: 5

You forgot the most important stats.
Rings: Kobe 5, Duncan 4
Shall we mention head to head as well?
LOL wrote an essay about Kobe.
Rings are a team accomplishment. Sorry, bro.
Hondo 8, Bryant 5.
And so are head-to-head records:
Nash 2, Kobe 1.
Can ya imagine it? That goofy bas sittin' there at the kitchen table...pencils and notebook paper all over the f'in place doin' 3 drafts before he headed for the Acer.
All star mvps?
Right another Kobe thread. Why don't you try doing something else
None of that happy horse .
We're talking about the individual here.
Duncan 3 Finals MVPs, Kobe 2.
It's a Duncan thread, as well.
Who made more money in thier career?
Who knows? Duncan never had to buy his wife a 4 million dollar ring to keep her ass from divorcing him and taking half his estate, nor did he have to pay trailer trash an untold sum of hush money.
You didn't answer TheMACHINE's question.
Kobe raped, Duncan did not. Case closed.
LoL butthurt all of a sudden
tbh brah TD's probably spent a small fortune on everquest and world of warcraft over the years
Career salary through this season, doesn't include endorsements.
Duncan: $183,679,917
Kobe: $196,190,615
Edit: Also doesn't include the 9 million (or 11 million, depending where you get the info) Duncan left on the table when he signed his last contract in 2007.

Sure I did. I have no clue who's made more money. You have to remember that property is much cheaper in Texas, not to mention they have no state income tax.
Kobe makes more in salary and endorsements, but who knows how much of it he's kept.
You obviously have to spend more money when you have to make lawsuits go away...
But it doesn't answer the question "who's earned/who's earning more money"
Theoretically speaking, can't Duncan pay for lawsuits (grey spurfans this is THEORETICAL) even if Kobe makes more money?
Us posting on Spurstalk on a saturday night
So who's really laughing at who??
We have no idea who has more money.
Higher salary =/= more money.
And honestly, I couldn't give a who has more money. It's just funny that Machine's little troll attempt backfired because his dumb ass can't comprehend externalities.
LOL there is a thread for this ... obsessed ...
Where's the Duncan thread around here? I don't see one.
This thread has as much to do with Duncan as it does Kobe.
