If Spurs get swept in first round, how comfortably ahead of Kobe is Duncan still?

[DMV2]

2005 Finals FGA
Duncan: 129
Ginobli: 85
Difference: 44 shots

2009 Finals FGA
Bean: 135
Gasol: 60
Difference: 75 shots

2010 Finals FGA
Bean: 163
Gasol: 90
Difference: 73 shots

For as wide a difference as there was between FGA between Bean and Gasol, the scoring margin should've been much wider, especially in 2010. And of course you don't want to compare per game stats between Duncan and Manu because Timmy put up 20/14/2/2 vs 19/6/4 for Manu.

I thought 163 shots in 7 games was pathetic but then I did realized 135 in 5 is even more worthy. 27 shots a game, in a 4-1 series? I know a couple of those games were close but still. Chuckbe , no shame.

It's sad that these Kobe stans have nobody to watch and nothing to do but start these useless Kobe vs Duncan threads.

Duncan's legacy is already set...if anything the fact that he can still lead his team to contend at his age just adds to it


While Kobe makes 800k/week sitting at home watching his utube highlights.. When he could be playing already

Didn't Dumbcan lose as a 1 seed in the 1st round?

Didn't Kobe miss the playoffs in his prime?

Nikka has never defended his title like a real GOAT does.

I'd say the first round loss was more on Manu injuring his arm in the last game of the regular season (why Pop played him is unfathomable) and Pop leaving Splitter on the bench until game 4 opting for the Turd Towers (Bonner and Blair) instead. Not one of Pop's finer stretches.

Bird also never defended his title - shouldn't he be on a GOAT list?

At this point only thing that moves these guys up or down on the all time list is a ring, maybe even that is not enough, FMVP might be needed.

Duncan is already ahead of Kobe, he is Top9 and Kobe Top10, and 1st round exit wouldnt change that.
