Duncan with 5 points...Spurs up 40...

[stalkerforlife]

But he somehow keeps moving up the all time rankings due to team success.

Imagine Kobe having this stable of a franchise for 20 seasons.

Kobe would have MORE titles if he played for SA his entire career. At least 6.

Duncan is top 5 all time.

Kobe is #2 all time.

I assume your Retardness means switching Duncan with Kobe? Because in that case the Spurs would have less than 5 rings.

Kobe still doesnt have a 1st option ring.

[72-10]

you're actually serious aren't you

[WayOfWade]

Let's go Jazz! Oh who am I kidding, we absolutely suck right now

Logic not something you consider important?

[72-10]

There are at least five players who have won more rings as the leader of their team and won more awards. And these players won championships in college, too. Ergo, they are greater than Kobe. It doesn't matter if Kobe has better skills than some of these players since you're comparing across eras, you have to gauge people within their own era, such as by how they dominated within their own era.

Jordan
Magic
Kareem
Bill Russell
Wilt Chamberlain

you can't rank Kobe ahead of these players if you use the aforementioned logic

At least he didn't lose FMVP to Tony Parker and Kiwi Leonard or was carried by Manu.

Russell and Chamberlain played in a league that had 8 teams at one point, with all of the best players usually playing on their team.

Kareem never won a title without a top 15 player of all time by his side. Kobe won back to back titles without a top 85 player of all time.

Kobe is the best Laker ever and Magic has no case over him, he'll tell you that himself. Magic had far better supporting casts through his career in a historically weak western conference.
