How many scoring titles did he won? He’s good at rebounding, did he ever win the rebound title? He’s won defensive player of the year once…big deal when you have that quickness and height. Kobe has to jump over people to block and rebound.

YOU CAN GO BACK TO HISTORY AND FIND OUT THAT NOBODY IN THIS LEAGUE CANT DO IT ON HIS OWN TO WIN A TITLE… NOT EVEN KOBE, LEBRON OR DUNCAN. But being the best player is more than just numbers and titles…its about being the toughest guy to defend, a player with no weakness. Duncan is smart and skilled…BUT can he hit 3 pointers, can he blow by a defender off the dribble, can he even go 80% on the FT line? Now let me ask you…what is Kobe’s weakness? If you know that answer…you might wanna share that to Bowen and Bell, because as good as they are they have not figured him out. You have not even answered my 1st question on who would you want to have the ball in the last second Duncan or Kobe? Face it… its tough to swallow bec you are a Kobe hater and in the next 2-3 years you will hate him more…because like it or not, he will be more dominant and will win more awards and titles because the Lakers are serious contenders again… the Spurs however have reached its peak and will start to decline.
