Tim Duncan doesn't care about Kobe or his retirement tour.

[Rocketswin2013]

he just doesn't give a shit about a guy who's top priority is getting lifetime achievement awards and setting brick records.

[QUOTE]But when asked once again whether he felt sad that he would never again share the court with Bryant, Duncan responded,

[JohnFreeman]

Duncan the true winner

Alpha

[TheMarkMadsen]

why does the OP seem so upset?

[Donkey4trading]

So Duncan isn't sad to see a guy leave who made a career out of killing him in the playoffs... NO SHIT

Sure didn't kill him in 1999 or 2003.

[Donkey4trading]

Sure didn't kill him in 1999 or 2003.

maybe because he played the entire series with a torn labrum in 03? The same injury that sidelined him just two year ago.

Kobe beat the spurs in the playoffs more times than he lost. OP seems upset, he only used the quote that Duncan gave after like the 4th Kobe question he had gotten in a row, his annoyed response was warranted. here is what the Spurs had to say about Kobe

tell us about 01, 02 and 08

Kobe absolutely murdered the Spurs

His series stats have been posted 1,000 times, but how about this?


01 4th quarter playoff stats against the Spurs

Kobe = 10ppg on 47%

Duncan = 5ppg on 39%

02 4th quarter playoff stats Lakers vs Spurs

Kobe = 10ppg on 59% FG

Duncan = 6ppg on 50%

08 4th quarter stats Lakers vs Spurs

Kobe = 10ppg on 54%

Duncan = 6ppg on 39%


This is part of the reason he is known as the spurs killer, he lit them up in the 4th of playoff games

Dude just wanted to get out of there

If you watch the video he keeps looking around like a crack head lmao

[ShawkFactory]

Why would he?

He can respect Kobe. But he isn't gonna kiss his ass...

[plowking]

Kobe has a losing record against Duncan in H2H's.

Even taking into account playoffs and regular season.

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe Bryant favorite memory against Spurs:
[QUOTE]

[SpaceJam]

You know what though, Kobe probably respects that response more then any he has gotten

That ice cold killer instinct

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe's giving the Spurs too much credit

They only beat the Lakers in 99, and 03

Lakers beat the Spurs in 01 (Kobe leading scorer + assist) 02, (Kobe leading scorer + assist) 04 (leading scorer + assist) 08 (Kobe leading scorer + assist)

edit: aw shit this man Kobe is giving the Spurs credit for 2013 when Kobe didn't even play, humblebe doe

To be fair though, watching that video, Duncan came off a bit salty. Whats the issue and why was dude getting all bent out of shape for? Its Kobe's last game vs San Antonio, obviously the media is gonna ask him "nostalgia" and "legacy" questions.
