I'll take Duncan over Kobe.
SMH. the media really did a number on people.
I'll take Duncan over Kobe.
Gonna be lame when one day Simmons starts rating Kobe above TD as well.
I keep telling y’all folks that Jim’s days are numbered. Dude has nobody sticking up for him in the media. Bowen and Jax downplaying Tim. Dudes gonna be ranked behind Curry and KD within 5 years. Just watch
To who? Who cares what troglodyte casual fans think espn literally just ranked him ahead of Kobe causing plenty of salt to dumbass kobestans
tbh what did Bowen say about the great Timothy Theodore Duncan?
Said Kobe was the second best player ever. He was on ESPN when he said it too
Look at Bill Russell’s face when people say Wilt is better. Shaq got all pissed off bc he was 10. Guarantee you it bothers Tim when people say KG is better (and as stupid as it sounds here, a lot of people do say that). These players are all compe ive as and they care. Except maybe Bird
Tim is obviously the better leader though and Bill won’t say it bc Kobe died but Kobe has plenty of former teammates saying that he was aloof and didn’t talk in his early days. He snitched on Shaq. Phil wrote and entire ing book about how bad of a teammate Kobe was. People forget these things.
No ing way. That's disgusting. Link?
If true this goes for Bruce too:
Kobe ain't even a top 3 Laker of all time
Kobe wouldn't have wanted to play with him. He couldn't even get on the bench that TOSB McGrady was occupying.
Here is the link
Nope. Tim the better player, Tim the better leader.
You know how I know Tim was a better leader? Other players actually liked playing with him. He broke the mold of the traditional "asshole leader" and proved you can be a likable guy and a dedicated winner.
He was angry he didn't get paid after 2003. Then got pissed off the Spurs chose Manu over him in 2012? 2013? He became an issue that Spurs cut his ass right before the playoffs... He was done and couldn't accept it. I think he played a few games with Clippers.
This nikka used Sloan’s passing to prove a point
What a piece of sh
What did he say about Sloan?
It would be nice if the media stop constantly overrating Magic And Bird. Yes they were both incredibly great players in the 1980s. But my god they both played on unbelievably stacked teams.
smh Bruce
I'm so disappointed in him. Like there is literally no justifiable reason to have Kobe anywhere near the #2 spot. His advanced stats don't add up, he wasn't efficient enough, his numbers in the clutch/elimination games were horrible despite his reputation as some fearless closer. I know he died but ffs stop with the pity rankings.
It's all ego just like it is with Jax. Bruce wants to be able to say to his kids and his family that he guarded the second greatest player of all time granted I don't agree with that assessment. I can't hate on Bruce only because I met him a year ago in Charlotte during the ASG. He was very nice and friendly towards me when I met him in a bar. With that being said I do strongly disagree with him on him ranking Kobe at #2.
On Twitter:
Always told me I was a tuff SOB and actually tried to get me to Utah a few times. One of the very few coaches that knew I could play this game. Rest Easy Coach Sloan. #GBG instagram.com/p/CAfpv6wl4TE/…
SJax and Barnes are Neanderthals, so the Kobe/Jordan school of leadership is what works best for them. It doesn't work for everyone though, and Tim was clearly the better leader between the two.
Anyway, it looks like Timmy's fate has been sealed by the media/popular opinion. They're always going to use Pop, Manu, and Tony to bring him down, when his personality and style of play is the very thing that allowed that foursome to work so damn well together. They have to make him top 10 only because his ridiculous list of accomplishments is too great to ignore, but he's not regarded in the vein of Kobe/Magic/Bird and he never will be. Kareem, Hakeem, and even Shaq to a degree don't get that kind of love either, tbh. Big man bias is real.
if you'd start a franchise with Kobe instead of Tim you gotta be re ed.
Why do people give a about what this guy has to say? He's clearly in the bottom half of human IQ, tbh.
Other thing to consider is that ESPN may be writing there opinions ... remember Elliott complaining about having to always say what ESPN wanted him to say even when it was supposed to be his thoughts ...
