Has this ever happened to any other "all-time great"?
Duncan is a good player, but I have never seen a "legend" get benched in the 4th quarter of a close playoff game. Maybe he simply isn't as good as advertised here.
There were these two black guys sitting at a bar in a club, and a gay guy comes up and puts his arm around both of them and says "who wants a blow job?" both of the black guys got up and beat the living out of him. when they sat back down at the bar the bartender asks "why did they beat him up?" one of the black guys said " I don't know he said something about jobs"
Kobe was benched during the entire post season. D'Antoni must have been trying to send him a message, pretty embarrassing though
His coach has balls
Great players know when they don't fit with certain matchups and/or their play is hurting their team... Lakerfan, of all people, know that scenario quite well (ie: 2004)...
LA fans dont kno wat coachn is...
Seems foreign to a Lakers fan. Usually when Kobe is chucking 5/28 he keeps chucking them up at the end of the game.
sup lakaluva.
Great players should fit well in every scenario.
a lakerfan talking about their star getting benched is comical.
Didn't Mike Brown benched Kobe in the 4th and he started crying about it afteward?
I'm a superstar, I dont get bench damnit.
Has Duncan ever gone 6-24 in a Finals game?
He went 10-27 in a Finals game. Same , nice try though.
The team won... that should be above any personal glory... unless you're egomaniac that would rather lose a ship than get your ass nailed to the bench when you're hurting your team...
The game was over by then. Resting your starters like good teams do when the game is decided. It's a wonder he played at all against the Lakers.
Dubs were within 2 when Timmy got benched.
tim was tired as and couldn't keep pace with the game's thythm. spurs needed better mobility at the defensive end so it was not necessarily a bad idea to take out their all-time great player and bring in some fresh legs imho
No, but he never played in b2b Finals either. Nowthat .
That has little barring in the grand scheme of things so who cares.No, but he never played in b2b Finals either. Now
Neither does 6/24 or any other stat you guys throw out there to berate Kobe. By your logic, "In the grand scheme of things," 5>4. That's it and that's all. Amirite?
Its not logic, its how it is.Neither does 6/24 or any other stat you guys throw out there to berate Kobe. By your logic, "In the grand scheme of things," 5>4. That's it and that's all. Amirite?
Maybe if Phil had benched Kobe in 04 he'd have another ring.
So you are saying that a player who won 5 rangs has had a better career than a player who won only 4 - because that's how it is? I agree son.
Not necessarily. Just that 5 is greater than 4......obviously.So you are saying that a player who won 5 rangs has had a better career than a player who won only 4 - because that's how it is? I agree son.
Horry has what? 7 rings..does that mean he has had a better career than Jordan, Magic, Bird, Kobe Duncan etc?
Theres gotta be more to it then just coattailing son.
But yes I dont get into those discussions about who has more rings and whatnot.
There has been a few players far superior than those who have won 1 and even two rings that have zero to show for it tbh.
People keep bringing him up. Stupid tbh. He won't even sniff a HOF ballot. Yet, you put him in the same sentence as all of them all time greats? -15 points. I'm disappointed in you son.
Comparing Duncan to Kobe is legit. But Horry? "Come on man!"
