The Final Debate - and Please Don't Bring This Up Again

[Leetonidas]

Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4

How's that for accolades?

Horry: 7
Kobe: 5

[Leetonidas]

Horry was just a role player!!

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

Hence why you ignore my arguments because they all over yours. If Kobe is a better INDIVIDUAL PLAYER, why does Duncan destroy him in individual accolades?

" B-b-b-but Kobe has been to 7 Finals "

And lost two while Timothy Theodore Duncan has lost no series in the Finals, took his team there as the undisputed best player and number one option, displayed much better performances on the biggest stage, and never missed the playoffs.

What Kobe did with Shaq is irrelevant when being compared to Duncan because he's scoring all these points while the best player on the planet (at the time) was on his team getting tripled teamed so Mr. Rapist could operate more freely on the perimeter. Fact.

Kobe went back to back as the BEST player on the team. Call me when bag does that

That's about as hilarious as Russell winning in an era that had no free agency and may 3 good good teams as compe ion. Raise the bar if you can.

Duncan was so much more dominant, efficient and important in many more aspects of the game than Kobe that is not even funny.

And still couldn't win more than 1 in a row.

And owes Avery Johnson all the credit in 99

Kobe has a greater place in basketball history than Duncan, no question about it.

However, its not as big of a margin as Koolaid_Man tries to say. And honestly, if I were building a team, and could choose to build around either Kobe or Duncan, it would be a very tough choice, and I think there is a great chance I might lean toward picking Duncan. IMO, there are only two players I would outright choose to build a team around before Duncan. MJ and Kareem. After that, I'd say Timmy, Bird, Kobe, Shaq, and perhaps a couple more are in the next class down, of players I would choose to build a team around.

Hey....I know you think it's cool to say stupid outlandish bull and you think you're really sticking it to us by putting a after every post to make it seem funny, but shut the up you stupid got. You're a terrible troll, get some new material, although your last account was pretty terrible and your schtick is exactly the same so there's no hope for that.

lol got thinking he's trolling but failing miserably.

Barely beating a Knicks team that MJ shat on

beating a d-league team in the Cavs and act like that was serious compe ion

Duncan being so dominant that he never went back to back

[Phillip]

Responding = trolled. Good work, you're awesome.

responding is one thing

saying the defensive you said and telling him to shut the up is another thing

trolled.

[Koolaid_Man]

I just thank god Timmy wasn't the face of the league. Going to church on Sunday was bad enough.

[LkrFan]

lol emo stoner getting trolled and not even realizing it

[Leetonidas]

Oh yeah according to you using the words " ," " got," and the phrase "shut the up" = defensive and mad. lol got

[Phillip]

depends on context

your context was defensive

thus

trolled

lol assuming my "context" and tone from an internet message post.

lol assuming the posters "context" you were responding to from an internet message post as being an attempt as "trolling"

Perhaps he was being dead serious, being that all he stated were facts. Timmy never did win 2 in a row. And Avery Johnson absolutely did hit the biggest shot in Spurs history to close the series out, something Timmy gave a lot of credit to Avery for doing.

either way

trolled

LMAO

Please explain how Kobe has a greater place in basketball history without question other than the fact that he has a more fans because he played for the Lakers his whole career.

[Leetonidas]

brah he said Timmy owes Avery all the credit. c'mon son

Not really, it's too outlandish for anyone to take seriously. That's like saying Robert Horry deserves all the credit for the 2002 le when it was easily the refs

I think this is about as unbiased a take on here (outside of mine LOL) I could definitely agree with Phillip here ...

And As great as duncan's team defense is some of yall overrate his 1 on 1 defense ...dont get me wrong I agree duncan was the better "anchor" but his 1 on 1 defense was overrated it's not like he was a "stopper" like Bowen ...
