And a Spurs win and eventual chip that year

Kirby missed the playoffs.

But nice layup.

Mid what do you think of guys who win les but can't repeat? Also do you think Lebron s on Duncan's legacy if he repeats this year? I think if you can't repeat it's a fluke....

Mid who do you take:

a prime Lebron or a Prime Shaq
a prime Lebron or a Prime Duncan

[Koolaid_Man]

^ mid try not to think about Kobe while answering those questions

[Cry Havoc]

Mid history will only remember that Kobe literally scored on your whole team 1 5 ..the advanced stats and even the loss is buried in Kobe 5 > TOSB 4

Come back to the Light side, Stout.

Just like rings, repeats are team accomplishments.

That's what I think of them.

If you want to compare individuals, compare individual accomplishments. If Bron wins the ship, he probably wins the Finals MVP, so the count will be:

Duncan: 3

James: 2

That said, I do think Lebron winds up the better all-time player than Duncan. He's got at least two more Finals MVPs in him. If he wins it this year, he definitely passes Kobe all-time.

Winning it all four times isn't a fluke whether you repeat or not, dumbass.....

spurs would've won 3-peat 03-05 had they not got robbed by refs and fisher in 04' series against the lakers tbh

Check this out..I think it's the first time in NBA history that a player went 1 on 5 and literally scored on all 5 Spur defenders at the same time... mutha ing Kobe

I must say that is mighty impressive. Never seen that level of ballhoggertry in succeeding the past tbh. Hats off.

I say we should start a thread celebrating Kobe's magnificent play with attached videos of it. Do you mind starting that thread given that you are probably Kobe's number 1 fan. I just think you should have the honors.

Come to think of it... Tony was an Austin Rivers but with better foot speed in his first couple of seasons... Manu would've ended up on Shaqtin a Fool many a time back then...

DRob was the Tyson Chandler of the group: Best defender and tertiary option on offense.

I don't think a Hedo Turkeyglue endowed Spurs will do any better in the final against that juggernaut defense 2004 Pistons, that team was legit, might be one of the strongest champ team of 2001-2010 period.

Now, 2006 Spurs, that might have a case, i don't think even refs supported DWade will be enough to stop dem Spurs in the final, too bad they stopped themselves by losing to the flukish Mavs that year.

I once watched highlights of Corey Maggette, man, he would have been a HoF if the voting committees are re s and only look into highlights instead of actual games.

Lol

4. Parker and Manu was playing like HoFers that year – no, they weren’t even playing like All-stars that year, Parker was really green, and made mistakes after mistakes, along with having absolutely no-outside shot.

LOL, I remember the way Pop just ing ripped into Tony when he fouled Fisher on a long two in the first quarter. I don't I have ever seen Pop that pissed off.

Just a highly enjoyable game (and series, if I remembered correctly). The Spurs were playing almost perfect basketball, and were a team possessed.
If they play that series 100 times, I am not sure the Spurs will win over half of it, because Shaq was really that dominant, and with a defense that pretty much lets any non-Shaq player gets his, the Spurs were essentially picking its own poison. Unfortunately for Stern and the media, the Spurs picked the right poison this time around.

I think the Spurs win that series at least 80 times if they played 100. I mean they completely manhandled LA in games 2, 5, and 6 while LA really only took it to the Spurs in game 3. That roster was built specifically for beating LA. Fast point guards in Parker and Claxton, lockdown perimter defender in Bowen, long SG who can defend the 3 in Jackson, physical 7 footer in Willis, I mean, they were built for LA. Another thing to factor in was Fox was complete TOSB by 2002, and he was an enormous part of the beating the Spurs took in 2001. And then Samaki Walker was no Horace Grant.
