Who is better? Who had the better career?
Shaq/Gasol vs Duncan
TBH
Duncan = Greatest Power Foward of All Time
Kobe = One of the Greateast Shooting Guards of All Time
Kobe = Jerry West
Duncan = Wilt Chamberlin
Sorry I'm not ranking a sidekick ahead of the greatest power forward of all time
lol no
West was actually clutch
What?
Did you not see watch what he did to your team in the Playoffs?

I'll bite.
This is how simple it is. Being the best player on your team twice, or being the best player on your team 3 times during the Finals?
How about being the most valuable player twice, or once?
Combine that with 4 rings and 3 being a teams best offensive AND defensive weapon? It is clearly Duncan.
Which player has the best career win%? Kobe or Duncan? The playoffs aren't the only part of a career. Oh, and TD still hasn't lost in the Finals. The funny thing is... Kobe has lost even with multiple all stars and hall of famers on his team. LOL KOBE!!!
You can't just dismiss his '01 & '02 rings because he wasn't the best player.
It's like dismissing Kareem's rings because he had Magic, who was the best player for arguably 4/5 rings
I'll bite too, they can never be compared, both play different positions
Why are you cherry-picking? List them all...
Duncan hasn't lost in the finals, Kobe has
Kobe repeated multiple times, Duncan hasn't once
Duncan has more final MVPs than Kobe
Kobe has more rings than Duncan
Duncan did it with less talent
Kobe did it with more harder compe ion
You can go back and forth, nobody will ever agree.
Sure you can. Otherwise Horry > Jordan.
they don't have the shot finder pre 2000-01
and anyways, Kobe was carried to the 2000 ring, he was young and Shaq was at his peak. But you can say Kobe carried SHaq in the biggest game ('00 wcf)
WOW!
Horry?
Do you have a brain?
Duncan did it on a small market team
Kobe did it with a large market team
back and forth
All accomplished after the Ridiculous Gasol trade
Dominique Wilkins would have done no worse
GTFO. I can't discuss with re s
Seems like every time Deuce posts he's talking about Kobe, troll account?
Shaq-Kobe after '00
Magic-Kareem
Moses-Dr J
They were dynamic duos.
Horry isn't in this discussion, he was a role player.
