To my man who just said KG got shafted: He's not exactly what you could define as a 'winner.' It took him virtually his whole career to contribute (or at least become the focally point on a team that's actually winning), and even then he had to be with two other All-Stars.
My pick goes to Kobe as being the Player of the Decade, because of his consistency from 2000-2009. Shaq pretty much began his steady decline after the 2004 Finals loss to Detroit, and while he had a role on the Heat team that won it all in '06, some people are being delusional in thinking that he was the reason they ended up winning it all. (Like someone else said, that reason is spelled D-W-Y-A-N-E.)
With that being said, the only other competition would be Duncan, and while he's had great success, he hasn't had all the individual moments that Kobe had, like the now-legendary 81-Point Game.
