Hmmm............ Explain.......
all 5 of kobe's rings... he had 1 or two players that were regarded as one of the top 3 in their position in the entire league
(shaq, #1 center. pau, #2 or 3 PF. bynum, #1 or #2 center)
those first three rings... bryant was replaceable and i dont care what anyone says... dude had the absolute most dominant for in the game for decades... that 15-1 championship run would've been Jordan's best Bulls team b/c shaq was that dominant...
the 2nd and 3rd rings, kobe did his thing... first one, not so much...
tim duncan NEVER had a top 4 position player alongside him during his championship runs.
tim duncan is a better defender than kobe bryant, team and individual. that first team all defense a couple years back was an UTTER joke (he made it over the llikes of mike conley and avery bradley.
)
tim duncan's teams never had a down year. people forget that kobe was nothing more than carmelo, iverson, gilbert areans, tracy mcgrady for about a 4 year stretch... dude was scoring tons of buckets, but getting bounced int he first round.
kobe SHOULD NOT have won finals mvp by himself during that finals against the celtics, and we all know it... dude shot horribly and almost cost them that game 6 if ron artest hadnt saved him.
if it wasnt for an all time 3 by allen... timmy d would have the same number of rings and won mvp of that series (and the second oldest of all time to do it)
