Duncan was Kobes bitch in the playoffs.

And Sean Elliot was better than Antonio Daniels.

Duncan wasn't guardng Kobe, those horrid perimeter guys were. Duncan was banging in the paint with Kobe's Daddy.

Sea Elliot in 2001 was a shell of the player he once was, as the stats for the series show. He'd been crippled by the same kidney disease Mourning had.
