NBA: Kobe and Duncan

[JRHernandez88]

WTF ATLEAST 7 RINGS

[HI-FI]

duncan was lucky to be drafted by them spurs imho. dude had those fundamentals from hs time but those would be useless if he joined a monkeyball team. Pop made the most of Tim's talents and built the entire team around him. if duncan was drafted by them lakers, for example, i don't think he would've achieved as much success as he did in san antonio. he would still be a good player but would be just the same class as Chris Webber and co imho. plus dude is humble and a bit introvert, his personality is an excellent fit for such a small market team that the spurs are tbh.

All BS to the side, I have said for years that I would have traded a prime Shaq for TD. Why? TD has proven that he will give you good-elite anchorage for a decade+ and give you 20/10 playing alongside Kobe. Shaq? Not so much. He was a fatass prima donna with an ego bigger than his waistline. People on LG scoffed at that trade suggestion (for idiotic homerific reasons). I clown TD on here - only in defense of Kobe and to mess with the many farmers that post in here . But make no mistake, Kobe and Duncan would rang at least 7 or 8 times. No doubt in my mind. If that trade were on the horizon, I'd personally pick Shaq up (with a crane of course) from the nearest Krispy Kreme donut shop where he hangs out and wheelbarrow his fatass to LAX to make it happen.

farmers....you got

but i agree with the rest. except I still think Kobe would sabotage Duncan when he starts getting more attention, at least from basketball purists. the media would ride that Rapist kock til the end.

however, I'll admit that Duncan could coexist with Rapist longer than Shaq, because you're right about Shaq's ego whereas Duncan is there to win.

"Cuck crew?"

Talking about the Lakers, I assume.

After all, your team has a guy on his roster who got cucked by a member from NSYNC

Not to mention Gasol turning into an emo teenager after getting cucked by Shannon Brown.

Then you have Kobe, who couldn't bust a nut while raping.

Duncan, Parker, Bowen, Barry. Sorry but the spurs have a much deeper roster of cucks.

jim's case alone would be enough to declare San Antonio, Cuck City USA. Seriously, getting cuckolded for 3 years by a trainer?

You can tell jim's wife was a gym rat, check out those legs, that's 3 years she spent doing squats on personal trainer

Kobe was drafted in 96 and Duncan the next year. Haters love to say that Shaq could've won more les with A.I, Carter, Tmac etc... But that's haters being Haters. How many les do you think they could've won together if they were drafted to the same team. I say 8 les easily...

Shaq wouldn't have won more with Carter, lol. Carter is nowhere near Kobe, and overrated as imo. Probably not AI either, but I think he could've got 1 or 2 with Shaq tbh (2000 at least, since Duncan was hurt and AI was at his peak). T Mac possibly 2 or 3. He was legit back in the day. . .but it's impossible to say he could definitely replace Kobe. 2000, yeah. 2001-2002, 50/50 at best.

If you're putting Duncan and Kobe together though, it depends on the situation. Putting Duncan on the Lakers instead of Shaq? Then where does Shaq go? That would be a key there, but Duncan's defense is very underrated. Less scoring than Shaq, but the same rebounding and better defense and leadership. If you're just putting Kobe on the Spurs though, I'd think they'd have won from 1999-2003/4 when would've started demanding 30 shots a game and max money. Kobe would probably get traded at that point.

It's an interesting concept in any case. I'd be curious how they would've played together.

Kirby would have forced Duncan out for being better than him, tbh.....

I don't recall Parker getting cheated on? And Brent and Bowen are no longer with the Spurs.

Duncan is the only cheatee on the team, while the Lakers are filled to the brim with sexual deviants and perverts, which follows time honored Laker tradition, of course.

Surprised you guys didn't go after Birdman.

Having to attack Tim's personal life because you can't find a single thing to criticize on the court. in' gots.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why are kobefans counting 5 rings?

counting rings winning as robin
counting rings winning with gasol i can give you that

4>!

Spurfan brings up Colorado on a daily basis, like that happened yesterday and not 10 years ago.

But The Cucking is a personal attack on jim and should never be mentioned again

[mercos]

Kobe and Shaq won three straight from 2000-2002. Duncan damn near won five straight from 2003-2007. If you put Kobe and Duncan on the same team, they would have been the favorites every year from at least 2000-2007. Neither player had major injuries in the years since either, and Kobe was in his prime from 2007 on. I can't see them winning less than 7 or 8. It could easily be higher, as these guys don't get tired of winning.

What Kobe did was evil.

What Tim had happened to him was evil.

Kobe went full beta mode by crying on tv, unloading his bank account and permanently placing that road lizard's name in biggie size letters on his arm.

Tim promptly went 1st team Alpha by dumping the evil hag, dumping the Grizz, and will no doubt turn his undivided attention to bachelor filled nights full of Wow, D&D, and paint ball right after completing his fifth finals appearance.

out of the hoes kobe can nail, he nails an ugly bird, talk about desperate times

[Jacob1983]

Since 1999, the NBA Finals has had either Kobe or Duncan in every year except for 2006, 2011, and 2012.

[jesterbobman]

The hypothetical for Duncan that is realistic as a thing to bring up is the move to the Magic. Tim, TMac and Grant Hill would've been great as a combo(had they held up for 7 years as was probably expected at the time). All time great big, and a pair of long, skilled wings that could all pass, played good enough D and you had a hierachy of scoring. That team probably dominates for a significant stretch of time. It's easy to see why that was tempting for Tim, with no idea of the spurs ability to get Parker, how good Manu would turn out to be or the fact that Grant Hill would break down so quickly.

I don't see a situation with TD and Kobe fighting the way Kobe and Shaq Did. Tim would probably get angry at him for defensive lapses, but probably accept that that's part of the package with Kobe, and Tim would be fine as the second option offensively.

Aside from this year and the Smush era, Kobe has played with All-NBA level bigs, so while Duncan is an improvement, it's not like going from a scrub to a star, and Manu has pretty consistently been a beast in advanced stats(Per minute, Manu>Kobe is a solid argument, see the RAPM data at http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/) though Kobe has been able to provide more minutes of good play.

Kobe on the Spurs, probably Win basically from 1999 through to 2011, except for injuries. The Spurs would've made similar decisions, had basically the same draft picks(Manu and Parker would've probably still been available, same with Hill and Splitter), just would've had Kobe rather than the Hedo/Mercer/Barry/Finley/RJ collection.

Tim on the Lakers would've been more free spending, though they're not in the same class in selecting and developing talent late in the draft. Probably as successful in the early years, but the limited value of the guys the Lakers got in the draft(Walton, Farmar, Crittenton) probably limit them a little.

In silver and black, Tim and Kobe, plus spurs would of still had Parker and ginobili, and other spurs role players,plus the defense would of been even more dominant with Kobe...that would of easily been one of the most dominant teams in history. Without a doubt, I say about 8 chips is right

Parker and Manu would not have developed into the players they are today playing with chucking Kobe.

[King Nupe]

Parker and Manu would not have developed into the players they are today playing with chucking Kobe.

Ok, but parker and ginobli have only gotten you 3 rings, when you know Kobe gets you 5 and is an Alltime top 10 player. Ginobli and Parker STAY getting hurt. You wouldv'e still Gotten Parker and Ginobli, but you would've had 16 straight years of healthy Kobe and Duncan. At least 9 Rings
