Kobe was a beast every WCF from '08-'10

Cool story. Still take Duncan over Kobe.

[ImKobe]

It`s not just about how efficient his numbers were, look at how effortlessly he got past manu and how many times he finished over duncan, especially in game 5 of that series, so fluid with his post moves, he looked unstoppable in that series.

[Nilocon165]

One of the more impressive series in his career IMO.

Bring up series like these instead of "FIVE RANGZZZZZ" and Kobe stans would actually be taken seriously.

PRIME Duncan? Right. Kobe stans desperate to find anything now to try and get Kobe in the top 10...it's over, let it go. He's going to fall further and further as the years go by. He probably won't even be a consensus top 20 player of all time in 15 years.

Yall say prime kobe when you mention 2011-13, he was same age then... its safe to say duncan was still in his prime years, being a 20/10 player and the best pf in the game, defending champs, having his minutes reduced since 04, no serious injuries.

31 is still prime. Bran was 31 this year. There is a difference between prime and absolute peak.

You don't just define a players prime by his age...Duncan was clearly out of his prime by 2008.

Prime: 09-2013
Pinnacle: 2012-2013
Absolute Peak: Celtics GM 7
Appex: GM 7, 4th quarter

Most Bron stans started watching basketball in 2010.

So all you know is 2010-retirement Kobe.

Even though most of the teams he's beaten in the western conference are better than the teams he's beaten in the finals, those series don't count.

Lol.

[Ca$H]

You don't just define a players prime by his age...Duncan was clearly out of his prime by 2008.

19 and 11 on 55 TS% is prime level play. Not peak play but still elite just like Bran last season.

[Ca$H]

Get the man some damn help.

WOW.

Yeah Parker and Ginobili outplayed Gasol and Odom. Kobe was the main reason why the Lakers won.
