I heard a Spurs fan say that

[Deuce Bigalow]

If you replace Kobe with Duncan on those 2005-07 Lakers that they would get the 4th seed and make it out of the first round

stats from that season fromm both players

2004-05
Kobe - 27.6 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 6.0 APG
Duncan - 20.3 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 2.7 APG

2005-06
Kobe - 35.4 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.5 APG
Duncan - 18.6 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 3.2 APG

2006-07
Kobe - 31.6 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 5.4 APG
Duncan - 20.0 PPG, 10.6 PPG, 3.4 APG

for those 3 years
steals, kobe averaged 1.5, Duncan 0.8
blocks, Kobe averaged 0.6, Duncan 2.3

so If you replaced Kobe with Duncan, would the Lakers be better?

Learn the game of basketball. After that you will no longer overvalue stats.

Lakers sucked too much those years for any one player to make a difference. If Luke Walton was your starter, you would be lucky to even make the playoffs.

i dont overvalue stats

but it was a comparison, what was i supposed to put?

[pass1st]

Walton or Bonner?

Those two are probably best friends. They share a common interest of being liabilities on teams.

Ok I'll play just this one time.

If Kobe shares the ball and learns how to play within the system instead of trying to be the savior in spite of the system, the team very well could have done much better.

Kobe's scoring numbers mean little more than Iverson's. Iverson won a few scoring les. Like Iverson, Kobe is a volume shooter and the team has to live with the fact that he's going to shoot even at times when others are open. He's going to keep his team out of sync if that gets him more looks. He likes to win if it means he gets the glory, but he seems to prefer loss over sacrificing the number of shots he takes.

Kobe used those years to pad his scoring. Once he realized he had no real big underneath to get him another ring, he said " it" and just got his.

When you have Shaq ing about not getting touches, you got a problem, especially when Shaq was unstoppable once he got the ball in the paint.

If Kobe finds a way to appease Shaq's need for attention, the Lakers win 5 in a row easily.

"Then Culby pokes his head out of the bathroom and says 'you know, boiled down, it's still Duncan 4 Kobe 5'".

lol

[DMC]

Exactly right.

Iverson was a volume shooter. Kobe is a volume shooter. You cannot compare volume shooters with people like Duncan using offensive stats.

31.6 ppg on 22.8 FGA is volume shooting?
