That's tough, how would you adjust for the length of the playoffs? Can we legitimately compare 2 round runs vs complete ones?

Well not sure but I think between the two there are primarily 8 complete playoff runs that are up for contention. For me ’03 Duncan is clearly first but after that I think it’s pretty close.

1999 Duncan
2003 Duncan
2005 Duncan
2007 Duncan

2001 Kobe
2008 Kobe
2009 Kobe
2010 Kobe

2001 Kobe

If we only go with finals runs, that would be my choice:

2003 Duncan
2007 Duncan
2009 Kobe
2008 Kobe
2001 Kobe

1999 Duncan
2010 Kobe
2005 Duncan
2002 Kobe

2013 Duncan
2004 Kobe
2000 Kobe
2014 Duncan
