Kobe Bryant = PLAYER OF THE CENTURY???

[Coupé It]

He apologized for his actions to her that night. Something happened, because the police found blood on his shirt. How could she set that up? 

the rest of the stuff you say I have not read. it was one guy not 6.

Still being unfaithful to his wife shows bad character. I just don't like that.

Someone really had the nerve to say that Kevin Garnett is better than Tim Duncan

he's a better scorer,defender,passer,free throw shooter and rebounder , better overall offensive aresnal imo aswell

no disrespect to tim

 

[do be doo]

he's a better defender,r,free throw shooter and rebounder , better overall offensive aresnal imo aswell
no disrespect to tim

All that but still only got kg one ring and no Finals MVPs.

also the GPFOAT Duncan is 44 - 17 vs kg teams. Including playoffs.

Dont be disrespectful.

Iverson over KG?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

What is this player of the decade?

Timmy or Shaq either or.

damn you quoted me before i edited and threw in passer  

so thank you for acknowledging that the spurs where better than the timberwolves

so far we've acknowledged that 

garnett is the better

scorer

defender

rebounder

shooter

passer

free throw shooter

and that the spurs supporting cast was better than troy hudson

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Also it's just very difficult to take a perimeter player over any dominant center, just the way the game of basketball works having a complete center like Timmy or Shaq in there primes the have such an out sized impact on the game.

In all time basketball discussions it's really unfair to compare any other players to a truly great and complete center.

Only 1 of these things is true. He is nowhere near a better scorer or defender than Tim Duncan. Before you pull PPGs (which you couldnt even use because Duncans prime years are far superior to Garnetts) and use those as the basis of your argument just remember that Tim Duncan plays for Gregg Pop. Who knows what he could have been doing if he was playing under a coach that didnt run a team oriented offense all the time. 26 PPG would have been cracked several years.

Defender is also no. Thats not a slight to KG either I think hes a great defender hes just not better than Tim Duncan. Tim Duncans defensive prowess is largely under rated along with the rest of his game simply because of his demeanor. Hes not going to get a ton of blocks and hound people because thats not his game, but what he was, was an excellent shot blocker and a huge deterrent in regards to entering the paint.

Free Throw shooter you can have. Hes fine without that.

Rebounder is about equal imo.

Having a larger array of moves does not necessarily equal to having a better offensive arsenal. Tim Duncan has go too moves that are impossible to stop, theres no need for him to have a ton of go to moves when he has 3 that consistently work year after year after year after year.

so far we've acknowledged that 

garnett is the better

scorer

defender

rebounder

shooter

passer

free throw shooter

Who has acknowledged these things? You've made a ton of baseless and also WRONG claims thats all you've done

 

[MajinZuub]

KG is nowhere near the defender TD is?

 

[JD617]

If I had to choose between Timmy or KG I'm going with Timmy, slightly. That being said,

Duncans prime years are far superior to Garnetts

That's just flat out not true. Stop exaggerating to prove a point.

also the GPFOAT Duncan is 44 - 17 vs kg teams. Including playoffs.

I just corrected you on this a few weeks ago. The article you got that from is wrong. Duncan's teams are 29-19 against KG's teams including playoffs. Look for yourself.  In any case, that's irrelevant anyway.

KG is nowhere near the defender TD is? 

Exactly, they are two of the greatest defenders ever. Saying either of them isn't close to the other is ridiculous. They are both the quarterbacks of their respective defenses, they are two of the smartest defenders ever, they know where all 5 guys should be at all times and direct traffic accordingly. Defensively I'm giving the slight edge to KG because he's quicker and his ability to guard pick and rolls is unmatched. His ability to contain guards on the perimeter and recover to the bigs is so valuable.

Iverson over KG?

I honestly thought about putting a ? mark after Iverson but just said screw it.

KG can easily be there.

 

[champcruthik]

This thread makes me wish even more that A.I. got his ring in 2001 with that ragtag group of Mutombo, McKie, Snow, Lynch, Hill, etc. One of the most brilliant NBA playoff runs I've ever witnessed through Toronto and Milwaukee.

 

[ag 47]

Give me Garnett with Duncan's situation and what do the Spurs really lose? Someone tell me.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

timmy d is pretty clutch tho

Regular dudes cheat on their wife left and right in this day and age. A superstar like Kobe can't help but get panties throw at him on the road.

You seriously can't be that naive. I'm 100% sure Venessa invite dude over everytime Kobe is on the road.

kobe still doing his thing this long

we probably got some salty AI and tmac fans in here

After seeing AI in a few lists in here, I'm surprised no one has said TMac.

 

[pepperjackchees]

I dont know who I hate more- Kobe or his pathetic stans.

 

[nycknicks105]

Some of you guys are straight up disrespecting Tim Duncan

Dude is the epitome of consistency. And Duncan never had nearly the same level of talent on his teams as Kobe did (does).

 

[pepperjackchees]

^ I like Duncan but people r disrespecting KG by putting him way below Timmy. They put up pretty similar numbers even though they brought different things to the table. I just feel that people are over hyping Timmy because of all of his championships. Nonetheless, he is still one of the best.

 

[mertonhanks]

^ All three replies above me are the truth.

TD and KG are my two favorite players in the NBA. Dudes do whatever it takes to win including letting their numbers take a backseat for the good of the team. Each of them couldve averaged 30+ a game for their careers but played unselfish team basketball and never put themselves before their team. Two old school players that brought it every night both offensively and defensively in a way we might never see again from the power foward position.

 

[mertonhanks]

And LOL at dudes saying Timmy never won back to backs as a way to negate all hes accomplished. Straight Clownin.

Strongly agree with this.

honesty its a 3 man race between kobe, timmy n shaq in that order kobe has a slight edge over timmy but timmy is in the discussion
