Spurs: The Greatest Player of his generation doing player of his generation things.

5 rings is the prerequisite for criteria number 3.

So your still an idiot for putting Championship Rings instead of 5 Championship Rings.

Damn, meltdowns are always the best

Where's Dale when you need him?

When Kobe is leading the charge, it's the "NB ed" for the reason that he'll win the chip and everyone will be salty, but they'll still tune in to watch.

When Jimmy is leading the charge, it's "NB ratings/stock market/GDP ed".

This meltdown makes the win that much sweeter

Duncan: leading his team to Finals in the twilight of his career, winning rings, schooling the next gen of big men.

Kirby: quitting 3 straight seasons with "injuries" and "defending" Chuckbrook for taking 43 shots on ing twitter

Once again, the three principles to an NBA alpha male:

1) Drawing ability
2) Aesthetic appeal
3) Championship rings

Kobe, Michael, Magic, Kareem are the only ones with all 3.
Lebron, Bird, Shaq have 1) and 2) but not 3)
Duncan, Horry, Fisher, Kerr have only 3)

That's why even if you spot Duncan 8 les, he still wouldn't be better than Kobe, at all.

As long as duncan rings

You, sir, are quite simply the giest of all gots who ever lived. Just realize that you're a fan of an inferior player, and then kill yourself. got.

In other news, I agree with the OP fully. I also have him fourth all time.

No clue how he's doing this at 39.

With Pop keeping Timmy's minutes on check through the year.

Wilt-->Magic-->Michael-->Kobe. There hasn't been a 5th NBA protagonist. It's a shame Lebron's not good enough, or else he'd be the rightful successor to Kobe.

lol aids n' rape, best franchise ever

[unleashbaynes]

the more time passes, the more we all laugh at ourselves for ever even putting players like Kirby and Garnett in the same breath as Duncan

I don't know about you, but entertainment value on the court depends on the novelty of the product. Jordan had the fadeaway.... Kobe is simply imitating it. Zero novelty value.

I would rather watch someone do something that isn't done very often or haven't seen before rather than watching someone trying to do the same things that someone else already has.

If you want to talk about money, it is simple. Kobe has made money by emulating Jordan. He is even relying on yet another superstar to get himself paid off the court as well as winning on the court. No self respecting person could ever claim a person like that is "great". Kobe is a cheap remake, nothing more.

Meanwhile, Tim Duncan isn't recognized for being like any of the other players in his categorical greatness. He stands alone... an original and bonafide credit to the game of basketball. You can go ahead and keep watching your pathetic sequel bomb at the box office, while I will continue being mesmerized by a true artist on the court.

Did anyone else in their pants when he made that turnaround jumper off glass over DJ? If you look closely, you'll see that it actually touched the very SIDE of the backboard - the hardest angle you can possibly use for a bank shot.

Anyone who doesn't find that aesthetically pleasing is a ing got of the highest order. Like someone in this thread.

[SpurSwag]

I can't believe this guy is comparing players through how much money they have...he's literally the biggest got to every exist, i wouldn't be surprised if he was in posting from a looney asylum rocking back and forth in fetal position muttering about 5>4 and tim losing money.
