Hard to Say. The lakers were on a Roll the last 40 games of the season posting a 28-12 record. The Spurs packed the paint with Pau and Dwight, they would've been raped if they gave Kobe open jumpers to pack the paint.

They Both won 1 League MVP...So whats the problem?

i would say it's the best rivalry of the last decade. Back when the west was truly the wild wild west. Back then at the height of the rivalry, nobody gave a about the east. Everyone knew the only 2 teams that were gonna win the chip were the lakers or spurs, so whenever they faced in the playoffs, it was the true finals. I miss those days. There was bad blood between lakers and spurs that is still around to this day

All i see is Jim being a got and checking out another dude's ass tbh.

Not surprised that's what you see.

[Michael Jordan.]

I pity Lakerfan. Rooting their hearts out for the Spurs to stop the kang and then coattailing the very same player who will surpass Kobe fairly easy.

did you forget about Jim closing out the forum with a sweep of your precious Kobe in 99? or do you gots not count that?

[Thebesteva]

It is a rivalry tbh, you cannot deny that they are the only team aside from Celtics that can legitimately claim to have denied us a championship when we were due (maybe the Pistons as well).

It's been a great rivalry, my only question I've always wondered is how the Spurs plan on being relevant once TD, TP, and Manu retire. Are they a legit team that will come back or were they one of those once in a generation teams like the Hakeem Rockets that will fade into oblivion for 15-20 years? I am not sure honestly.

Kobe quitPERIOD and Kobe beggedPERIOD... these are the things we know... deal with it

[Michael Jordan.]

Damn. Kobe has about as many skunks as he has rings.

[Joseph Kony]

When you think about it like this for a second

Shaq-Kobe Lakers - 3-2 vs. Tim Duncan Spurs
Kobe-Pau Lakers - 1-1 versus Tim Duncan Spurs


...it doesn't look like ownage by Kobe at all, and I know Lakerfan is gonna chime in about Achilles being out but it's not like Ginobili wasn't hobbled as in the 2008 WCF

I agree with everything you said...except for the Pistons bit. They were just flat-out the better team for that short period of time.
