yes, system player. the '03 spurs and '13 spurs look ing identical
this is why I cannot give him the nod over KG....there's nothing special about the cat...Pop broke from the system this past finals for 5 min and Duncan and his team fell apart and coughed up a le...
KG would have the same amount of rings if put in that same situation over his career...Timmy has been the product of a decent system in SA...he's always been surrounded by more talent than KG and has played for the same coach and basically same core for over 10 yrs...he's experienced very little change in environment upon his SA arrival...
Side note: Kobe has had 6 or 7 coaches, instability throughout, hundreds of new teammates and it's still 5>4....
Duncan's the only player whom some would dare (heresy and blasphemy) put in the top 10 all time to lead his country to a bronze medal and then declare he'd never play for his country again...but it was the first time seeing him play professionally outside of Pop's system...and it was god awful to watch... basically everyone else has Gold except Timmy...and Lebron hides his every chance he gets....

don't disagree
beats coatriding shaq to 3 rings, pau to 2 rings
arh dont forget his last gold medal, coatriding lebron and wade
here's some fast facts...Duncan has a bronze medal and Lebron couldn't win (get gold) without Kobe with Duncan all Lebron could get was Bronze....
Pau is 0-16 without Kobe and has zero rings...
Shaq couldn't win until he got with Kobe (sweept in the Finals prior to Kobe)....![]()
Shaq minus Kobe and it's Kobe 2 Shaq 1
So, you're willing to throw some of the greatest Lakers under the bus to prop up your boy Kirby? Typical "laker fan", so insecure about Kirby, like he has no flaws, like he's even a top 10 great.
Shaq did so much for LA and for Kirby's legacy, Pau helped the Lakers in a big way in 2010... You should be proud of your franchise and everyone that helped Kirby get those 5 rings. Why do you care so much about what others think of Kirby? This is a Spurs board, you're just a pathetic troll. Let's see how much smack you'll talk during the season.
of course he has flaws dip ...he even admitted it...he gets tunnel vision towards the basket...he even told his scrubs teammates if I don't pass the ball just remind me...![]()
Kobe had help like everyone who puts on a jersey....but push comes to shove he can take a whole team by himself if he needs to...
He can take a whole team to a first round exit.
I'd rather my team lose in the first round without me...than to cough up a le on world stage after I had it won
Harlem Ho been in this thread for a good min...I guess he thinks he can magically make Lebronze's Bronze medal disappear...fact is Kobe had to come in and clean up Duncan's mess...we all remember how lebronze's tried to challenge a prime Kobe and again got his pushed in...
That's because you're not a champion. I doubt you ever competed in anything other than cub scout .
Lol. Me thinks stability = Big Phil & Great Man Shaq. Kirby should crack 10 coaches if he hangs around another couple of seasons.
.....
It was clear as day that Tim Duncan was a system player long before 2004. Not that it is a bad thing to be a system player.
Pau made the playoffs consistently with Memphis. Kobe missed the playoffs in his prime.
Kobe: 4-8 without Gasol, zero rings, zero playoff series wins
Not like your rapist fared much better without Pau after he ran Daddy out of town.And Kobe was going up against the run and gun, no defense Suns
while Pau was going up against the best and 2nd best PFs of all-time. Pau carried KobePERIOD.
Yes... a system role player he is. The moment Manu or Parker can't save his ass he gets embarrassed. Played four years in college never to sniff a le.
All 5 les with the greatest system coach ever.![]()
Correction 3...the last two were of course the Kobe System:
