Is MJ better than TD??? Most definitely, no arguments .
Is Kobe better than TD? I would argue no.
With the exception of landing Aldridge this past free agency, Duncan has NEVER had a super star or an all star cast for more than 1-2 of his 18 seasons, yet he's never missed the playoffs, won 50 games in 16 straight seasons and he's had a much better career than Kobe.
After the Lakers got their beat down from the pistons on 04, TD carried the spurs in 7 to beat the pistons in 05. All he had was a healthy Manu.
TD has consistently done more with a lot less, Kobe had a prime gasol, healthy Bynum, artest Fisher and Odom off the bench and Phil and they still lost to Boston in 08.
TD had who? Oberto? Brent Barry? Speedy claxton? 90 yr old horry and Steve Smith. Kerr played like 5 minutes and their backup center was nzir muhamed .......
The fact that Duncan will still contend for a title and may win it all again this coming season speaks volumes about his greatness.
I would put Duncan ahead of Kobe as an NBA player on and off the court any day of the week.
If Kobe isn't even as great as TD , how can we compare him to MJ???
