How is Duncan better then Kobe when Kobe bounced him out playoffs the majority of the time even though he played with at least 2 other hall of famers?
Steph Curry right now is better than Kobe ever was

I'm a Kobe fan, but this is INACCURATE AF.
Kobe had three games where he played poorly, one of them being the final game. Game 6 is overlooked too, with Kobe going 9 for 19 and 1 of 4 from three in an UGLY game where the Celtics couldn't score 70 points.
That Laker team was perfect-- Artest, Odom, and Pau gave the Lakers great minutes in that Finals. Pau scored 130 points BY HIMSELF in that series, good for 19 PPG and 12 RPG. Not a single Celtic scored that much in that series-- PAU GASOL OUTSCORED PAUL PIERCE IN A SEVEN GAME SERIES.
Stop downplaying Kobe's help-- the nikka had HELP. Artest is literally the reason the Lakers won Game 7-- if he didn't explode for 20 points in that game, we'd be talking bout the Cs playing for their 19th title right now.
Y'all love to sit here and pretend Kobe beat that Celtics team by himself, forgetting how that series actually went, to take some weird ass shots at LeBron.
LeBron didn't BARELY beat that Celtics team when he finally got help-- he buried them bytches in FIVE games with stat totals in wins that looked like this:
22/6/5
35/2/7
35/3/14
33/4/7
LeBron has played better against that Celtics team than Kobe ever has; the only reason the Lakers beat them and the Cavs didn't, was because Kobe had help and LeBron didn't.
These all facts.
NOW ILL REPLY TEARING UR ARGUMENT APART AFTER I EXPOSED U AS A KOBE HATER/LEBRON GROUPIE IN DISGUISE
KOBE WAS INCREDIBLE IN ALL 7 GAMES…. TRYING TO BASE PERFORMANCE ON PERCENTAGES DONT WORK HERE. THE ENTIRE SERIES WAS DEFENSIVE ORIENTED AND EXTREMELY GRUELING, GUT IT OUT TYPE BALL.. THAT MEANS PERCENTAGES WERE DOWN ACROSS THE BOARD .. THATS WHAT SEPARATES KOBE N LEBRON. WHEN U TAKE SOMETHING AWAY FROM KOBE, HE LEARNS TO ADJUST AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOURE GIVING HIM. THAT EXPLAINS WHY KOBE GRABBED 15 BOARDS IN GAME 7..
KOBE, BEIN A TRUE BASKETBALL JUNKY (AS OPPOSED TO A GUY WHO WAS FOCUSED ON BUILDING HIS BRAND), REALIZED THAT WHOEVER WON THE REBOUNDING BATTLE IN THE PREVIOS 6 GAMES ULTIMATELY CAME OUT WIT THE W.. SO WHILE EVERYONE WAS STRUGGLING WIT THEIR SHOT, KOBE WAS SLICK WIT IT N HONED IN ON DEFENSE N REBOUNDING.
YOU BRAGGING CUZ PAU AVERAGED 18.6 LIKE ITS SOME AMAZING FEAT LMAO … WELL GUESS WHAT- LEBRON HAS NEVER WON A FINAL SERIES WIT HIS CO-STAR AVERAGING THAT LOW OF A PPG.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF PAU WAS PLAYIN NEXT TO BRON, HE WOULDA AVERAGED SOMETHIN LIKE 13 PPG LOLLLLL.. ARTEST, ODOM, AND EM WOULD BE RELEGATED TO SCRUB STATUS PLAYIN BRON BALL, AND THE SUMMER THEME WOULDA BEEN “BRON NEEDS MORE HELP!!”
THEREIN LIES THE DIFFERENCE.
Where did i say duncan was better than Kobe? Kobe is better than duncan If u ask me.
See below
And since you want to team comparisons, even if Pau and klay cancel eachother out, steph still has draymon and for 2 of those titles he had Durant.
Kobe only had shaq for the first three and Pau for the last 2.
Don't forget steph doesn't play a fraction of the defense kobe played consistently which probably took something away from his
offensive output
Also the Jordan poole effect allowed curry to come off the bench and still the warriors won the first round, kobe never had that kind of firepower team where he could be the 6th man in a playoff series and still win..
How does Curry look with Shaq?
Replace prime Curry for Kobe and they beat the Pistons. How does that sound?
Sounds dumb as fukk
