not less than 8, IMHO. as many as 10. Those champion Celtic and Heat teams were out for blood, tbh.

you're being too modest tbh
Kobe losing to Basketball powerhouse Raptors with 2, possibly 3 Hall of famers on team.
Get back to stalking the .500 thread, got.
20 rings.
Probably about the same as Kobe has now. Maybe one more.
Duncan with a franchise that was willing to spend money and make aggressive moves would probably have around 6 rings IMO..
Duncan could've easily had 6 rings with Spurs if not for injuries to him and his teammates
with the Lakers, he would be the new Bill Russel. Easily 10+ rings. Players would be forced to create super teams.
If Duncan had Kobe's food stamps (Shaq), he'd have atleast 7 if not 9 rings.
1999
2000
2001
2002
2003
2005
2007
2004*
2006*
On a more serious note, he'd probably have 5 or 6 by now.
8-15
including the rigged calls as part of the total "Food Stamps" pachage?
8-10 easily.
7-10 tbh
If Duncan had Shaq from say 1997-2005, they'd probably win like 5-6 les in that time. Not that I think Shaq and Duncan necessarily would fit that great together, but I don't think any teams would be good enough up front to beat them. And Duncan would have 0 League MVPs and 0 Finals MVPs. And if he were able to win other les post Shaq, he'd probably still get criticized for not being able to be "the man" on championship teams when he played with Shaq. Then if he played alongside Pau, maybe win a couple more. And people would discredit any Finals MVPs Duncan would get. So maybe end up with 7-8.
Jam standing by his Mamba through thick and thin.
Replace Tim with Bryant in San Antonio, and Kobe is probably playing in China today lamenting how he never got past the first round tbh.
Is that what that was? I was answering pretty sincerely and honestly.
Duncan doesn't have the personality to be ego driven enough to try to be "the man" with Shaq. Plus he's a team player. He's let guys like Manu and Tony be the dominant players on the way to les. He'd have stepped back the same way, even more so, with the type of dominance Shaq displayed. I don't think there's anyway that Shaq isn't "the man" every single year he'd have played with Duncan. And since I believe that to be the case, I don't see Duncan winning any type of MVP honors. Duncan would play Pippen.
And like I said, Duncan would probably end up with 7-8 rings.
Duncan has won 3 out of 4 finals MVP's - it's not like he sat back and let TP and Manu take over...
Do you believe Duncan wins any MVPs, league or Finals, playing next to Shaq?
If you do, more power to you. I don't.
TP and Manu aren't the type of dominant player Shaq was. And he has let TP and Manu take over. TP won one of the Finals MVPs, and there is a strong congregation of Spurs fans who even believe Manu deserved the 2005 Finals MVP over Duncan.
The premise of this thread is beyond ty
How many les does Duncan win if he plays with Kobe? Pretty sure he wins a few more as well ..
Tim gets about 7. To be honest, Kobe's taking a serious blow to his legacy with this crappy season! C'mon son, Steve Nash was fighting for a playoff spot with the Suns last year in the final week of the season. Dwight was an All Star!! If you're the greatest SG after MJ, you should at least be playing .500 basketball! , a high basketball IQ would get you that much with the roster he has! And this cat said he took a "back seat" to Shaq when they three-peated! More like Shaq told him if he didn't pass him the ball he was gonna beat that ass!! Barbeque Chicken!!!
You said Tim has let TP and Manu take over based on the assumption he doesn't have the ego to be the man. All excuses aside, I simply pointed out he has 3 out of 4 MVP's in the finals. If you look at the entire playoff run vs just the finals as well, Tim was clearly the man.
Depends on who had the better series in the Finals, tbh. To me, it would be a coinflip for one main reason...Shaq has always respected Duncan way more than he has ever respected Kobe. He wouldn't mind sharing the workload with Duncan.
