Kobe and Duncan's respective rankings on the all-time playoff leaderboards.

[TheMACHINE]

Thus Horry >>>> MJ >> Kobe>Duncan, logically.

Added Duncan for you...logically

[midnightpulp]

Added Duncan for you...logically

Havlicek>>>Bryant.

Logically.

[TheMACHINE]

I have no problem with Kobe riding coattails to 5. Horry did it, why not Kobe?

That's fine..too bad duncan rode ONLY 4 rings to Kobes 5.

[Giuseppe]

Havlicek>>>Bryant.

Logically.

Boiled down:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

[TheMACHINE]

Havlicek>>>Bryant.

Logically.

Bryant>>> Duncan, logically.

Thus Havilcek>>Duncan, logically.

[ElNono]

Added Duncan for you...logically

Fine by me... I think it clearly shows that ring count has little to do when ranking the better players... Basically, dispells the contention that ring count is the best playoff stat when trying to identify the best players.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Spurfan is not going to concede to Kobe being better and Lakerfan is not going to concede to Duncan being better. We can argue this till we're blue in the face, but it's not going to sway anybody's opinion.

Boiled down:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

Boiled down.

Manu Ginobili: 3
Jerry West: 1

Let us indeed proceed.

[Giuseppe]

Boiled down.

Manu Ginobili: 3
Jerry West: 1

Let us indeed proceed.

True.

Just like:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

[midnightpulp]

True.

Just like:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

You can have that, but I'm content with:

Manu: 3

Zeke: 1

[Giuseppe]

You can have that, but I'm content with:

Manu: 3

Zeke: 1

Good. I'll stick exclusively with:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

[ElNono]

This finally proves that Manu > Dirk, tbh

[midnightpulp]

Good. I'll stick exclusively with:::

Kobe: 5

Duncan: 4

But my guy has a two ring lead. Yours is only up by one.

tee, hee.

[TheMACHINE]

good point.

Karl Malone > Tim Duncan, logically.

[midnightpulp]

This finally proves that Manu > Dirk, tbh

Culburn has no problem with KC Jones>Kobe, so Manu>Dirk is a foregone conclusion.

[Giuseppe]

But my guy has a two ring lead. Yours is only up by one.

tee, hee.

I don't care.

My equation drives your people nuts.

[midnightpulp]

good point.

Karl Malone > Tim Duncan, logically.

Nope. Duncan still has better overall stats despite Malone's scoring proficiency.

Not logically.

[ElNono]

good point.

Karl Malone > Tim Duncan, logically.

I don't have a problem with people that view it like that, tbh.
I don't agree, and I think Duncan is the much more complete player.
But Malone was up there with the top PFs, so I can see where you're coming from.

[TheGreatest23]

Its obvious that Kobe winning his 5th ring really ed up everything for Spurs fans.

[midnightpulp]

I don't care.

My equation drives your people nuts.

Yes you do care.

Methinks West is your favorite all-time Laker, and the fact that::::

Manu: 3
Zeke: 1

Grills yer goat.

but imo, Duncan > Malone cuz of the rings.

Even if West were I'd still abide the equation.

I'm a trend setter.

I set trends.

[ElNono]

but imo, Duncan > Malone cuz of the rings.

You're en led to your opinion. I don't think rings alone is what differentiate them. I think Malone would have had the rings if he played Duncan-level defense.

[midnightpulp]

Its obvious that Kobe winning his 5th ring really ed up everything for Spurs fans.

No.

As long as Laker fan is consistent. If they want to reduce everything to rings, then::::

KC Jones>Bryant
Manu>West
