Every time the Spurs wins, Duncan get a hug from behind by T-Mac.
I'm jealous .

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I agree. If someone not gon' take a bet, they're usually scared.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Call Vegas.

 

[Dominican Power]

The Heat better do us a favor and not lose to The Pacers.

 

[Black Mamba]

Clippers beat grizz with gay. Cloudy just loves him for some reason even though he shoots like tony Allen.

 

[Bishman]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

 

[MiamiWesker]

So it will be the Spurs huh. Will make for one hell of a series.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Call Vegas.

It's just an avatar. Take him up on the bet.

 

[rando14]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

apples and oranges

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Spurs basketball. Simply beautiful. Big 3 delivering the goods tonight.

Duncan > Randolph + Gasol

 

[curlyfriski]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Duncan.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The Heat better do us a favor and not lose to The Pacers.

Naw pacers will win, come on dude.

 

[JohnsonUT]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Duncan is much more consistently good, though Kobe's best was slightly better.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Individual talent? Kobe. Guy I'd start my team with? Duncan and it's not even close. Duncan is the team leader that Kobe just never was. Kobe wants to humiliate his opponent to the point he forgets about his team at times while Duncan wants to humiliate the opponent by getting his team to win.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why don't you take a bet for me.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Why don't you take a bet for me.

What's the bet?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Duncan.

you are about to get got by cloudy and vag.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Umm ok. Kobe.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

What's the bet?

Pacers won't win 2 games this series.

 

[Cloudy]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Lol just like last year. Folks were satin Duncan had surpassed Kobe when he was up 2-0 in the WCF. How about he get that 5th ring first before we argue? Must be nice to be along for the ride with Parker tho

 

[Nothing1016]

Spurs were once again underestimated. Z-Bo and Gasol were expected to dominate and Conley was suppose to give Tony Parker a run for his money. Haha the spurs dominated this series for all but 2 quarters..

 

[Basileus777]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Defense is half the game. It's Duncan.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Naw pacers will win, come on dude.

Why the hell do you have such a hard on for the Pacers??? Ewing, Oakley, and Starks would be ashamed of you

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

Duncan was alpha dog for his four chips. Kobe was alpha dog for two of his.

 

[rando14]

hes dead inside like me

 

[ph33nix]

I gotta say, pretty impressed with the Spurs.

To sweep in the WCF? That's something...

I want to think about Heat-Spurs but the Heat need to get out of fuckball ASAP

 

[theignoramus]

I dunno. Duncan was a monster in the early 2000s.

 

[Black Mamba]

lol.

I think you can justify Duncan because dominant big > dominant perimeter player.

But this comparison will only bring out Kobe haters and lovers so its not worth discussing.

However, ill say this. Kobe and Duncan would have been the best compliment had they been on the same team. Not sure any 2 other players would have been paired better in the last 20 years

 

[jobber]

I wish we were playing OKC because last year still stings.

 

[Brinbe]

Duncan or Kobe? All time.

Timmy with ease.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I wish we were playing OKC because last year still stings.

Next year. ; )

 

[Cloudy]

Defense is half the game. It's Duncan.

Yeah cos Kobe didn't play defense. He may have lost a step but it's I easier to play great defense as a big when you're older.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Heat Spurs would be interesting as its two teams that basically have not played each other this year. Each game one team sat all their best players.

 

[rando14]

Also easier to play defense when you have had two great big men in your career waiting to cover your mistakes.

Kobe would have driven Duncan mad.

 

[NomarTyme]

Time to bail out of this thread.

 

[Black Mamba]

?

Nope. Kobe and Duncan in the mid 2000s would have been a more see less pair IMO.

 

[Vic]

The Spurs are about to sweep two Gasols in one single postseason.

 

[curlyfriski]

People have the dumbest standards for rating players. There are ~10 players on a team that get significant playing time. Player x having more rings than player y means nothing by itself.

Bigs impact the defense more than wings, unless said wing is a hyperathletic freak like LBJ who can help defend all over the court and not leave his man wide open.

Manu should have been Finals MVP in 2005 and Tony will get it again if they win this year.

Tmac will get it as sorta a career achievement award.

ummmm Shaq and Kobe!??!?

I said it after watching game 1. Everything they've learned playing against the laker's bigs has translated to this series. I had them in 5 after game 1. In 6 before game 1.

Way to ruin a thread with a single question.

omg your avi

As individual players, Duncan doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Kobe. His rings and accolades are the only way he can be considered and he will falls short there too

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Don't worry. Jesus Miller will save us all

 

[Red Blaster]

ummmm Shaq and Kobe!??!?

sancha hasn't been a laker fan that long

Busting out all the stops for Game 3.
