Deuce still basing his arguments off PPG and TS%.
Duncan stomps Kirby in pretty much every known traditional and advanced stat known to man except PPG and assists. Duncan is in another world defensively over his career compared to Kobe. Duncan is the better Finals performer. Better clutch performer.
There's no argument anymore, not that there ever was.
Kobe vs. Dirk is a better comparison, and I'm not entirely convinced Kobe had the better individual career.
Playoffs:
Kobe: 25.6ppg, 5.1.rpg, 4.7apg, 1.4stl, 0.7blk, .448FG, .541TS, 22.4PER
Dirk: 25.6ppg, 10.1rpg, 2.5apg, 1.1stl, 0.9blk, .461FG, .579TS, 24.2PER
Dirk never played with a dominant big, much less a top 10 player of all-time. Furthermore, Dirk turned around one of the worst franchises in the NBA, leading them to their first championship, which is more impressive than crying yourself onto the Lakers, who were already stacked when Kobe was drafted.
We know Dirk is probably the best closer post-Jordan (insert your Chris Paul joke at my expense here).
I can't find any reason to put Kobe above Dirk aside from muh rings and muh scoring.
