Let’s just end this debate right now, Kobe Bryant dominated Tim Duncan’s teams in the playoffs. Like, consistently, every single time.

Bringing up 01 and 02? When Kobe was playing the sidekick role lmao?

 

[VegetasHairline]

Because Kobe was a sidekick.

Kobe won exactly nothing after Shaq left until Pau got there.

There is no comparison between Tim and Kobe. Tim is the HOF big Kobe needs to even compete for titles, otherwise he doing a bunch of nothing but going up 3 - 1 in the first round and losing.

You giving Kobe credit for the 3 peat. He was still there after Shaq left. What happened?

Kobe won more championships without Shaq than Shaq won without Kobe.

This is from guys who played with Tim Duncan.

Shaq and Tim Duncan were 1 st team All NBA for several years running during their rivalry

"Kobe beat Duncan", when he has 1st team all NBA center on his team is a clown comment

The Kobe Cult refuses to acknowledge Shaq even exists lol. Not seeing another top 10 all time player in their primes on Duncan’s team. May have looked a bit different if he had say a prime Magic Bird Jordan etc level player.

Posts like this are embarrassingly stupid. If you’re a Kobe fan don’t be like this guy because normal people think you’re just a mindless Stan regurgitating shyt you heard from other mindless Stans.

Threads like this are so dumb. This isn't a 1 on 1 sport. Kobe and Duncan never guarded each other. When Duncan won he had better teams. When Kobe won his teams were better. If the Lakers had faced the Spurs in 05, 06 and 07? Who would have won? Dumbass thread.

It was so irreplaceable that Shaq left and instantly won a title with a different 2 guard

A 2 guard who is considered too 4 to ever play his position

And Kobe went ahead and won 2 more with his best teammates being Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom

Shaq didn't win a championship in Orlando with Penny Hardaway but he carried Kobe.

Were the teams not even in '08?

No. Lakers were clearly better even without Bynum and Duncan was no longer top 5 in the league.

If you actually watched those series you'd know Kobe was more often than not the best player on court when the Spurs played the Lakers in the playoffs. Even during the 3peat years.

Spurs had three HOFers in their prime on that team. Defending champs, Duncan was Second Team All-NBA, First Team All-Defense, Ginobili was Third Team All-NBA and Tony Parker had just won Finals MVP the previous season. Bowen was First Team All-Defense and fourth in DPOY voting.

Manu was playing on a sprained ankle and Bowen retired the following season. Duncan was clearly not in his prime in 08. This isn't even a discussion.

Going by this retarded ass logic.

Dirk is better than Kobe because he never beat him in the playoffs. Kobe lost to Dirk while he was first team All-NBA and 1st all defense, Pau was second team All-NBA and LO was the 6th man of league.

Nash is better than Kobe because he beat him 2-1 in the playoffs.

Like I've said this logic is heavily flawed.
