LOL @ pathetic..
I love how so many Kobe fans hate Wade because he did something Kobe couldn't, and that's win a finals MVP with Shaq on the team..Wade had a good supporting cast, but he CLEARLY carried the team in the finals..he had one of the greatest finals performances of all-time..didn't he average over 35+ for the whole series? and also led his team to 4 games in a row..ridiculous..
i don't hate wade. so wade won one finals mvp and he's better than kobe? nope. think again. kobe has never been in last place in a crappy conference.
I don't want to attack the poster, but are some people REALLY this stupid?..
first of all, nobody has EVER said Tim Duncan is galaxies better than KG, Kobe or Lebron..
false, TDistheman is a mod and he says duncan>kobe and it's not close.
Tim Duncan has had a solid argument as to being better than Kobe and Lebron last year..KG hasn't even been in the playoffs for the last few years, so I don't even see how he had an argument until this year..nobody is going to say Duncan has been better than either of those 3 guys this year..
agreed 100%.
has he had a better career than all 3? definitely..none of them even have an argument over him..
no? what if kg wins this year? what if kobe gets mvp this year? kobe and shaq destroyed the spurs. i mean, they freaking swept them. that doesn't sound like a superior player to me. duncan has a HIGHLY underrated supporting cast.
second of all, the Spurs THIS year? the Spurs are struggling by their standards, just like they did last year..obviously the regular season means nothing to them..
third of all, every superstar needs teammates to win..Duncan has actually been one of the few that has won without another all-star on his team..so he's already proven he doesn't even NEED another all-star on his team..
ginobili and parker are all-stars dummy.
by saying Duncan relies on Parker and Ginobili to win in the regular season is clearly stupid, because you're talking about Duncan strictly in the regular season..Duncan is a different player in the playoffs, he COMPLETELY elevates his game..he probably takes the least shot attempts out of any superstar in the NBA that isn't a PG..even with that being said, Jordan had Pippen..Magic had Worthy and Kareem..Shaq had Kobe..
small sample size..but here are Tony Parker's numbers without Duncan this year..
FG: 38%(-11%) -1.3 FTA 4 APG(-2.2) 3.75 TOPG(1 more TOPG) 12.5 PPG(-7.5)
and Duncan without Parker for 3 games..including 1 game where he only played 20 minutes since it was his 1st game back from injury..
FG: 53%(+2) 12 RPG(+1.2) 2 TO(-0.3) 20 PPG(+1.2)
lol, this is like 2 games. gimme a break.
fourth of all, your last comment is 100% stupidity..you're comparing SHAQ AND KOBE to Duncan and 2 players that weren't even near all-star caliber players at that point..the fact that Duncan actually beat the Lakers with an average supporting cast in 2003 shows how good he is..I'm sure you remember that series..Kobe was literally crying on the bench because his team was eliminated..
Duncan has won with an average supporting cast for a championship team, so your point is completely lost here..Ginobili and Parker have developed, partly due to Duncan, so he deserves to have great teammates by his side, after he's already proven he can win without them..
average supporting cast my @$$. those were deep deep teams with great defenders. someone's bitter about the lakers wining 3 in a row during duncan's prime. i mean, if he really is that great, how does he give it up for 3 consecutive years?
