Bill Simmons Had a Minor Meltdown Last Night on Twitter: Duncan/Bryant Related

[aznboy2k2]

Yeah, Im the only one you twat

Grow up and quit hating so much, maybe you wont go bald as fast.

Quit eye****ing Kobe Bryant so much, maybe people won't think youre sucha ******.

[oh the horror]

I'd go with Duncan personally, but Kobe really isn't even in the discussion. Not that debatable.

Here's a debatable point: When the Lakers missed the playoffs in '05, the second best player on the Lakers (Odom) was better than anyone besides Duncan on the '03 Spurs title team (Robinson was old; Ginobili/Parker were too young; the crunch-time guards were Claxton/Stephen Jackson).

Manu and Tony were doing pretty well that season dude.

Shaq has been good for five years of this decade, dominant they may have been in. Kobe and Timmy have been stable through out this decade.

And Shaq was better than Kobe for those 5 years straight. And he was good for more than 5. In his 6th year this decade he won a title and averaged 20/9/2/2 on 60% shooting. 2006 Shaq>2000 Kobe. Shaq was good for the entire decade, just not a superstar after 2006.

Uhhh not really.

Manu averaged 7.6 points PPG.
Parker averaged 15+.

And if you combined their field goal percentage for the NBA finals, they mightve shot 25 percent combined/

Please check your ****.

Manu and Tony were doing pretty well that season dude.

Parker was a second-year player; Ginobili was a rookie who averaged 9.4 points a game in the playoffs that year.

[El Seano]

Bizarre seeing as in his book he seems to give Kobe some grudging respect.

If there's anything more annoying than Laker fans it's Laker haters. Honestly, quit acting as though declaring Kobe the player of the decade is some sort of crime. The man won four rings, made SIX finals appearances, won MVP, scoring titles, gets compared to MJ, etc. There's a pretty damn good argument for him being the greatest of the last 10 years. Personally, I agree that Duncan's the man, but Kobe's a close second, and it could obviously go either way.

Also, Lebron's performance against the Pistons and Kobe's 81 were both incredible, why do people have to act like one was obviously better than the other?

[Jacks3]

lol at Snaq being better above Kobe. Dude hasn't even been an elite player since 2005. What a joke. Kobe is easily above Shaq.

[Knuck the Ficks]

OK, while Kobe is not the player of the decade he is definitely in the discussion.

Being in the finals for 6 of the ten years is pretty insane, but I'd still put him behind both Duncan and Shaq.

[Allstar24]

It IS the best moment of the decade. How is it even a discussion? That man is insane.

It is the best individual performance of the decade for sure. Simmons is just an ass who hates anything and everything related to the Lakers.

You dont have to remind me sir, Im just as big of a Shaq fan as you are.
