the battle will be waged by the kobe nuthuggers. right now they are ting their pants since the LMA rebuff and begging debacle not only because he didn't come, but because he gives Duncan a legitimate shot at 6. Even the lakerzground gots have accepted that kobe isn't gonna get 6 and the only thing they have left is the war for the hearts and mind of the casual fan, who right now still thinks Kobe > Duncan. It's a closer split than ever as Kobe continues to cancer it up in the lottery, but they still have a narrow lead because after the "ringz" take, which when tied in 2014 was a major blow, points is all that's left standing. They know though that if Duncan gets 6 it's game over for Kobe's claim as the PMJGOAT. The "*" storyline will be promoted hard by the Kobestans including media Kobestans like Broussard, Stephen A Smith, Magic, etc.
