Lil Wayne sums it all up.

The last of the golden era,where nothing mattered to the player but the game...sad sight.

That's the realest thing anyone's said all night. This is what sets Kobe apart and why the "top" players in the league right now will always be inferior to him.

Duncan?
KG?

Lets be real, most people would pick Duncan over Kobe any day of the week.

Too bad casual fans (Wayne) don't care, or rather, don't hear too much about old big men playing sub 30 mpg

It's sad, I know.

This is such a stupid comment and disrespectful to the other players who compete everyday and put blood and tears to the game.

Nice joke No they wouldn't...unless they are Spurs fans/Kobe haters. Anyone objective would pick Kobe.

Thats cute. Every time we had this discussion, majority of the people picked Duncan(also people who had nothing against Kobe)

Duncan has more MVP, FMVP, rings as the man etc. etc. Deal with it.

[maybeshewill13]

Duncan > Kobe deal with it.

[DMAVS41]

I'm pretty sure Duncan and Dirk and KG care about essentially nothing else but the game either.

[Allstar24]

Kobe is higher than Duncan on EVERYONE's all-time list aside from ISH (where all the morons and nobodies reside)...he has been since winning his 5th championship. Anyway this ain't about Duncan.

Thank you Wayne for telling it like it is. That is all. I'm outta here.

[waseem780]

If I was the owner of a franchise and I could pick between either Kobe or Duncan...I would pick Kobe because of the media/money earnings...But IMO Duncan is the better player but he doesn't bring the excitement and passion to the fans , just trophy's....tough call.

This. I hate this nostalgia circlejerk. There are ALWAYS going to be great players. Lebron might even pass Kobe.

This.

Kobe has given his heart to the game, and so have many people. From stars to scrubs.
