NBA: Bill Simmons Trolling Lakers

[LkrFan]

Kobe's 07 season wasn't even better than Duncan's 07 season. They both had 26.1 PER. As for '06, tell me what both players did in the playoffs? Duncan's PER was 30 that run. Kobe choked to the Suns.

Quit using per game stats and giving more weight to PPG. They're beyond antiquated.

You lost credibility here with that Chimpy Hollinger crap. -10 points.

[LkrFan]

False - Kirby is also known for chucking, bricking, snitching, raping, quitting, coattail-riding, jerking off after she left, and filming Tapes

Sup Spur Nation?

No front office uses traditional per game stats anymore. Evolve.

[scanry]

No one cares about games that you won in a lost series

4-2

And Kobe killed SA in the 4th quarters. Don't believe me? See my 4th quarter stats thread. Don't act like Kobe doesn't have a clear edge.

on what?

Duncan has allowed and complimented players for the betterment of the team. The only thing Kobe had in his mind was to be beat MJ. How did that work out btw (despite having a prime Shaq for a good 8 years). Do i even need to throw Shaq's numbers during that period at your face?

Sup Spur Nation?

Another embarrassing loss for "your" Pacers, Alonso? They'll all be teasing you in front of the Home Depot on Monday for that one

[LkrFan]

It really doesn't. Not as much as you think. You focus on it because that's all Kobe is really known for.

What is Duncan really known for tbh?

They're looking ahead for Wednesday's Showdown with the chumps.

You seriously didn't say that considering his border crossing genes?

[Clipper Nation]

What is Duncan really known for tbh?

Being the greatest player of his era (the 2000's) and the greatest power forward of all time.... meanwhile, I already listed what Kirby's known for

Maybe, but PER is a weak argument. Never cared for it even in Kobe's prime.

[Deuce Bigalow]

Its pathetic how spurfan is trying to rewrite history

Kevin Durant on Kobe's scoring prime:

So giving what you’ve gone through with your scoring this year, what impressed you about what Kobe did back in his prime?


“What I did is not a fraction of what he did. What guys are doing now is nothing compared to what he did. Me, Carmelo, LeBron, Paul George, what we’ve done out there in this league is nothing compared to what Kobe did. A lot of people forget. We live in a world of what have you done for me lately. We don’t remember the day before sometimes. Think back five, six seven years ago with what he was doing, it’s unheard of.”

More on this point.

How is he the greatest in the 2000's when he's down 5 > 3?

[Clipper Nation]

I bet Kupcake and Chazz use per-game stats still, that's why the Lakers suck so bad now

“When you look back at this era there’s going to be a lot of players that you can pick from. You can talk about their greatness. This is a good era for basketball, and it would be led by Kobe Bryant – who was the greatest player in our era.”

-Dwyane Wade

-40000 points for trying to compare 5 role player rings to 3 alpha rings.... SMH

"Kobe sucks"-kid in my math class

[LkrFan]

You seriously didn't say that considering his border crossing genes?

How come Duncan failed (4 times) to repeat as champion?

[Deuce Bigalow]

Kobe’s footwork in the post is obviously legendary.


"Oh yeah. The athleticism, the balance in the air, the lefty shots. He made a 3 on us one year in the corner. The shot clock was winding down, and he had to spin around and just shoot it lefty. To me, he's the no. 1 player over the 15 years I've been in this league."

Players' evaluations of other players mean jack , as evidenced by all the former players who have flamed out as GM's (i.e. Isiah, Jordan, Otis Smith, etc.)....

[midnightpulp]

What is Duncan really known for tbh?

All time great defender (Kobe is not an all-time great defender). One of the best passing big men in history. One of the best rebounders.

He also shoots a better percentage on GW shots than Kobe

Duncan is the player of the 2000's

But but but PER!

[Deuce Bigalow]

I specifically like this one:

Before the 2010 NBA finals began, Interbasket asked 54 sportswriters, analysts, and basketball experts from around the country to name the top 5 NBA players of all-time. Not a completely surprising list, but there are some interesting results

The list of voters include Fran Blinebury, Woody Paige, Stephen A. Smith, Kevin Cowherd, Dave D’Alessandro, among others. Here are the results of our survey:

1. Michael Jordan 50 of 54 (92.6%)
2. Magic Johnson 44 of 54 (81.5%)
3. Wilt Chamberlain 37 of 54 (68.5%)
4. Larry Bird 35 of 54 (64.8%)
5. Bill Russell 30 of 54 (55.6%)
6. Oscar Robertson 24 of 54 (44.4%)
7. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 22 of 54 (40.7%)
8. Kobe Bryant 10 of 54 (40.7%)

Others Receiving Votes: Kobe Bryant (10), Elgin Baylor (4), Julius Erving (3), Jerry West (3), Tim Duncan (2), Lebron James (2), Shaquille O’Neal (2), Karl Malone (1), Hakeem Olajuwon (1).
