lol at the narrative Stephen A tries to spin to prove that Kobe > Duncan. Kobe gonna Kobe
SAS has a great argument for Kobe. But his points for kobe is called life. Skip made the best point to say Tim has been the "Rock" on a great team an a great leader". Tim has been coachable an has never quit on his team like kobe! But this will be a great debate until one wins another one. Great convo for Spurs an Lakers fans to act silly over.
Jermaine, there's nothing to argue about. One was THE FRANCHISE and the foundation for over 17 years. The other had to win his starting role over Eddie Jones and also drove away the franchise in the process.
BTW Austin Croshere outplayed him in the 2000 finals. nough said.
Smith forgot to mention that Kobe's championship teams were stacked with great talent. He also forgot to mention that in his first 3 championship teams, coaches were game planning against Shaq. Kobe was just the lesser of two evils and you lived with playing him one on one iso ball.
$30,453,000
$23,500,000
$25,000,000
I understand SAS's point that despite having more adversity, Kobe won 5 les also.
But you have to look back and see who really cause the adversity? Who was the one that force the Lakers to trade away Shaq?
Those so called Adversities are all caused by Kobe himself.
You see Timmy willing to accept that he is not as effective as before and let Tony and Manu to take the lead and carry the Spurs.
Then on the other side, you see Kobe telling Dwight Howard that Howard will not be the first option ever unless Kobe is not around anymore. There was also an interview with Robert Horry during the Finals and people asked him whether he thinks that Kobe makes his teammates better? And just Horry just laughing at the question and after a moment gave an sarcastic reply that Horry himself made everyone around him better.
Tim, even without this past ring, still had a better career than sidekick. SAS just doing and saying SAS things, tbh. He gets paid to have stupid opinions, the sooner you understand that, the sooner you just sit back and laugh at the bull coming out of his mouth. lol
These two are such bloody trolls.
Smith says that Kobe had to go through a lot other than Phil Jackson's coaching... but he only won under Jackson and when they had super teams built for him. Whenever he had any other team around him with him as leader, the Lakers were not even a replacement team.
In contrast, Duncan has been much more consistent and won with plenty and little.
Smith is just a blind homer for his "boys". Kobe adversity was self inflicted over and over. And is wasn't like he dealt with is graciously either. He was kicking and screaming like a spoiled brat through all of it.
That's the dumbest argument to use in the Kobe v Duncan debate. That's worse than what some Lakers trolls here come up with.
If Tim Duncan get his 6th ring next year, this really won't be a debate.
had? Both are still playing one more year at least...it's not over for either.
Kobe is one of the most selfish players to ever lace em up. Awesome talent but what a .
This.
But good ole' ESPN can't go airing the truth,
can they.
Agreed.
Kobe became a Top 10 all time talent,
and make no mistake.
And he has Jordan's
"I can put a ball through
a hoop better than you,
so I am a god," syndrome.
Two of the most selfish players ever.
And Jordan might even be worse.
didn't Kobe retire?
I see this point has been hit repeatedly about Kobe causing his own pain.
Stephen A Smith is a dumbass as per par.
Tim Duncan is the greatest player of his generation and a top-five player of all-time. In my opinion he and Bill Russell are the two greatest team basketball players ever. I don't give a what anybody says that's what I think.
No it wasn't since Shaq had a strong dislike for God from the beginning. Shaq always made God's life in the lockeroom and through the media. God always had to deal with adversity everyday thanks to Shaq,Phil Jackson, and the media. Duncan never had to deal with any of that type of scrutiny.
Boom. And Duncan never raped anyone best I can tell. Kobe = Moral S
Kobe has 2 chips as the man and 3 with him whining like a little girl over attention..
And he still needed Lamar Odom and Ron Artest to hit the clutch shots for him in the two he won without Shaq.
The 2003 lakers in game 6 would like a word with you, tbh
