    Default Tim Duncan vs Kobe Bryant ( year by year TOP 10 rankings ) you decide

    forget duncans short term success at the top of the nba. his team/coach is more responsible for his resume than his individual status in the nba. and looking at the top 10 players in the nba each year since both players have been in the league together. this is more than evident

    Kobe Bryant - 28ppg/5rpg/4apg ( rank him wherever you want. all i know is hes above tim duncan thats for sure. )


    in the end... its clear that kobes had the better career individually. duncan hasnt been near the top of the nba in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time

    kobes still there after 20 years... says allot

    pretty dumb to try and evaluate duncan's greatness by stats because he's sacrificed stats for almost his entire career to win games.

    thats the whole f*cking point i'm trying to make

    he had a 12 man deep roster his whole life and they win 90% of the time he DNP's due to "age" or "rest"


    we'l never know how great he truly was because he only saw flashes of individual dominance way back when i was in grade 10,11 or some shit... and i'm 30 years old now

    i like kenneth. he doesnt hate or undervalue Dirk Nowitzki unlike some of Kobe stans.

    saying that, i would rank dirk in some years higher

    e.g. 2013/2014 he was a top10 guy

    e.g. 2011 he was rank 1 or 2 and lebron rank 1 or 2 and dwight only rank 3
    e.g 2010 he was top3-4
    e.g 2007 he was rank1

    In addition to never being #1, Kobe also isn't #2 every year.

    23/5/5 1st team all defense, 2nd team all nba, nba champion, WCF game 7 MVP

    kobe was f*cking ballin you doofus

    just because he got hurt in the finals and it f*cked with his stats doesnt take away from the player he was

    and he had to share with glen rice during that season.. imagine if they dumped his useless ass before the season started. his 23ppg goes up to 27-28ppg easy

    so gtfo bro




    and funny thing is people laugh at 23ppg for kobe. yet its duncans career high practically and hasnt been seen since the stone age

    At first sight, but then you realize its just to have someone over Lebron

    (Yeah, would put Dirk higher in 2010, 2012, 2014... Perhaps 2002 a bit.)

    just going by the eye-test kobe is the better/more skilled player, accolade-wise they're pretty similar but its not really fair due to teammates/organization throughout their careers.

    i used to have all these void discussions with biased rankings and stats but using the eye test rlly changed my life

    Grant Hill's best year was in 2000 when he as 28 and just in his prime. His numbers that season were 26/7/5 on 49% shooting... Putting up LeBron #'s.

    Among the league leader in triple doubles in most seasons. The Pistons lone star for most years and the only real help he had was Allan Houston.

    No doubt superior to '00 Bean, same for Karl Malone.

    2000 kobe is perhaps the most underrated player ever

    if his name was lebron james and at age 21 he was taking over finals games, saving the season in game 7's against a stacked portland team down 15 in the 4th q, slappin game winners on jason kidds suns in the PO's. and having 1st team all defensive accolades as the youngest to ever do it. while claiming nba titles with a 23/5/5 season, 21/5/5 playoff average.... then everyone would say "WOW"

    but its kobe... we hold him to higher standards i guess
