NBA Discussion Thread

YES!!!!! The Lakers finally hit 60 points with 5 minutes to go in the game! What a joke.

12-2 OKC Thunder. Best record in the NBA. This regular season was made for OKC.

Makes me want to puke.

No one.

Kobe is at least in the convo though.

Kobe is the only post Jordan Player in the convo. Like Jordan said.

No one compares to Jordan. Shaq and Duncan are higher on the all-time list than Kobe.

What is this? The Celtics are leading? Oh wait, we're playing the Raptors.

LOL the Thunder lost to the Wizards!

Duncan? Are you kidding me? Dude has been washed up for like 4 years now while Kobe is still taking it to people with torn ligaments in his wrist 16 years into his NBA campaign. Kobe passed him and the gap is just going to get wider

He just puts Duncan up there cause he likes him. Don't get me wrong Duncan is good but he is not even on Kobe's level.

Duncan is the best PF of all-time. I'd take a prime Duncan over a prime Kobe any day of the week. Kobe couldn't carry a team to a title until he was basically surrounded by 3 other all-stars.

Bulls and Thunder will finish 1-2 in some order for the most wins.

dude you're talking as if duncan had no help to win tittles... get the fuck out of here freak. thats weak sauce

Kobe and Duncan are the two players I hate most in the NBA. I hate Kobe slightly more. Howeva...Kobe is the better player with the better individual career. They both had help of some talented players but Kobe on his best day was far better then Timmy on his. Kobe had a better peak and a longer peak. Also his decline from his prime was/is far better then Timmy's. Blame it on injury or the toll of having a big body or whatever, Kobe's skills have not declined like Timmy.

Yeah freak i have to agree with the rest Kobe's career was better than Duncans and Kobe is in the convo with MJ.

Kobe has better stats but Duncan was the better player. He led his team to 4 titles while Kobe has led his to 2. Anyone that thinks Kobe is anywhere near close to Jordan probably also thinks Tyson is better than Ali :/

So not true. Duncan was lucky enough to be in a better ran organization, forgetting about # of titles and just looking at who was the better player on the court. Only someone with a hidden agenda would think Duncan was the better player. Again I fucking hate Kobe, but he was a far more talented player then Tim Duncan. I don't see how anyone that just watched the game, ignore any stats, it should be very obvious who was/is the better player. Again Kobe was better at his best, Kobe had more peak seasons and Kobe isn't done being an elite player. Timmy is done, no more elite to him. A shell of his self. You have some kind of obvious bias going on here because there is no humanly way possible that you can come up with your conclusion just by watching them play.

I don't even consider this to be an opinion based issue. This is pretty cut and dry, there is a clear right and wrong answer.

he's a MJ homer... he'll do anything to discredit that anyone is nearly at the same lvl as MJ, even tho MJ himself has stated the obvious.

don't worry freak, MJ is sitll King
