^In that precise protocol::uncan

Well, then I hope that Duncan and the Spurs follow that protocol so I can toss you a pickle.

It's not me you should be worried about.

It is this...

Cause he ain't a Laker no more.

That's what this all about, has always been about. The Lakers. The best player on the Lakers will always be the biggest villain and subject to ridicule. In the halcyon 3 peat days, it was slights against Daddy's weight and at ude, and today, we're taking Kobe to task for all his deficiencies.

Just the way it works.

That's not it and you know it. Your fandom's preoccupation with Bryant is the crux of this "debate." You never thought he'd ring again (frankly I didn't either). Now that he has you're all consumed by your hatreds and bigotry.

Hatred for the Lakers, yes.

If Bryant won his 4th and 5th with the Bulls, I wouldn't bat an eye. My hatred for the Lakers franchise far supercedes that of any individual player.

I use Bryant as a trolling mechanism because your fanbase's emotional attachment to him borders on the romantic and the religious.

True...angels are pretty ty.

Proceed with Kobe 5 - Duncan 4

True...angels are pretty ty.

Proceed with Kobe 5 - Duncan 4

but the conversation has been concluded...both parties agreed that Duncan is in fact a better overall player in the playoffs than Kobe..

None of that happy horse .

We're talking about the individual here.

Duncan 3 Finals MVPs, Kobe 2.

Yes that is what happens when Kobe plays with a top 5 all time center in his prime and Duncan is stuck winning a le with Robinson in his final season and Parker and Ginobli who were more about turnovers than points in those days..

So Pippen is better than Duncan, Kobe and Shaq..

Also better than Magic, Bird and Hakeem..

[midnightpulp]

Worth a bump, considering all the Duncan threads being started by Kobe suckers.

So not worth it ...

if you are arguing who had a better playoff or finals resume some good points here. But if you are asking where there all-time ranks are you have to factor rings, playoff performaces/success, and regular season.

I agree duncan at one time was the better Finals/playoff performer. But I love how Spur fans act like the past 4 playoffs never happened ...just like some Kobe fans act like the airballs against Utah or 6-24 never happened. I take all of that in to consideration and feel Kobe is greater ... but some of the Duncan fans want to give him and edge solely based on 1999-2007 ...which is quite silly.

So Hakeem is greater than Duncan because in his Finals MVP year he on every center known to man? No he is not. All-time Duncan PROBABLY gets the edge ...but prime Hakeem destroys Duncan. See the difference?

Ducan was far greater from 1999-2001
Kobe narrows the gap from 2002-2007, but duncan still on top ...
2008 - present ...Kobe catches and passes duncan in rings, stats, some of your precious advanced stats ...that is why he is ranked higher.

[pass1st]

Phil Jackson = GOAT

13 rings

[z0sa]

i seem to be confused.. there's a debate over who's higher ranked? I thought that only existed in giuseppe's dreams and stuff

[WeNeedLength]

Lakers fans are gots. That is all.
