always
1. legendary coach
2. top 50 all time team mate
3. stacked roster
yet both get 5 titles.. even though duncans had way way way way more easy opportunities to get more
Kobe Bryant would never lose finals mvps to teammates like tony parker.... or especially
a rookie
duncans choked away the top seed or number 1 record more times than anyone else in nba history
kobe has more 1st team all nba's
kobe has more 1st team all defense's
kobe has more consecutive allstar games
kobe has more nba finals appearences with the same titles
