Why is being an roleplayer at 39 a bad thing?
Maybe Kobe would still be playing and maybe even winning, if he tried something similar.
More greats should learn from Duncan. Iverson for example
Winning another ring is still a big deal as he's still the leader on the team. He's just able to adapt to his surroundings more than most other ego-driven superstars

Kobe did not even have the chance to step back and be a roleplayer, what the fuck are you talking about? Two seasons destroyed because of injuries, truly horrific ownership and bums as teammates....

The great thing is Duncan still maintain everything from his prime. He just scores less and play less minutes. He roughly has the same rbd/ast/stl/blk rate and percentages as his prime self.

Are we talking about Nash and Artest who don't even play anymore?
Pau wasn't invested, played soft. And don't get me started on Dwight Coward...

Bryant is a fringe top ten all-time player, with the most overinflated legacy in the history of the game. His greatest accomplishment is his remarkable longevity as a top five player. But, contrary to what the media and certain biased fans alike would have us believe with their revisionist history, he was never the best player in the game for an extended stretch and it was never his league, so to speak, the way it was Jordan's or O'Neal's or Duncan's.

Yeah sure. Not surprising that a Rockets fan spews bs like this.
20 years from now ask people who the first player that comes to mind when they think of the 2000s era is (2000-2010)....
I guarantee you it WONT be Duncan.

and theeeere it is
maybe that whole situation would have gone better if Kobe was more of a teamplayer? maybe his Achillies wouldnt give up if he hadnt forced him to play and do to much on the court
