NBA: Inside The NBA Article: Tim Duncan is a great player, but NOT top 10 of all-time

Yeah, why? Did I miss one of your points or something?

Otoh, KoolAidMan is too chicken to even show up, and is using his troll account to support himself.

Nah told you I was done like I said Pop was amazing as was Phil you heap lots of praise on PJ and Pau but diminish the support Tim had ...sounds a little like Kool is all I am saying and is beneath you ...or at least I thought it was.

you're still trying to play nice and make friends I see ..Memo to Killa these clowns hate you...take off your Lakers jersey and go full on man love for Tammy or Lebron and they'll befriend...if not your on a losing crusade to sound like a reasonable person...just sit back Killa have a drink and watch Kool dig into their asses..I'm a pro in the game

No, I think Pop and Phil are equal, and they pretty much cancel each other out. In terms of building a team, I'll take Pop 10 out of 10 times, in terms of coaching a championship contender, I will take Phil for one season, and probably 50/50 in the long haul. I see them as about equal.

Tim did have support, of course he did, he just won with LESS support, with 2003 being the prime example.

Kobe didn't have support, he WAS the support. Shaq was the man from the second he joined the Lakers to 2003, Kobe was support. In 2009 and 2010, Kobe was feeding off the incredible frontline of the Lakers, just like Duncan from 2008 to now (only feeding off the backcourt). Difference being Duncan anchored the defense in those support years, Kobe didn't, and Kobe had more offensive responsibilities.
