Real knowers of hoops puts Bean>>>Duncan without batting an eye
Kobe won more championships without Shaq than Shaq won without Kobe.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?
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.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 "Sidekick"Bringing up 01 and 02? When Kobe was playing the sidekick role lmao?
A 2 guard who is considered too 4 to ever play his positionIt was so irreplaceable that Shaq left and instantly won a title with a different 2 guard![]()
Were the teams not even in '08?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.
No. Lakers were clearly better even without Bynum and Duncan was no longer top 5 in the league.Were the teams not even in '08?![]()

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.No. Lakers were clearly better even without Bynum and Duncan was no longer top 5 in the league.
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.Spurs had three HOFers in their prime on that team.
