My favorite NBA Finals/is forever commercial is the one with Dirk. Best music, hilarious watching everyone do the one leg fader. and that's my point. People will argue that Kobe is better than Timmy, and that's fucking stupid. | ||

How is that stupid?? =P (they are both great, but even if Duncan wins this year I'll still give the edge to Kobe as the greater player of his generation in an argument) | ||

Many b/c of good defense but a lot of open shots missed too) and the Heat (esp the role players) are shooting lights out. Yeah but the Heat tend to be a second half team. Also the Heat can get Lebron in the post any time they want. That's not good. | ||

Duncan won all of his championships as the best player and leader of the team, had MUCH MUCH less help (no way Parker/Ginobili stack up to Shaq) has better stats, is vastly better as a leader, is so much better defensively it's a travesty Kobe has more All-NBA defense awards than him, and is better at the intangibles- defensive anchor, passer, etc. The thing that hurts Duncan most is that his game is "boring" - no huge dunks, no signature skyhook, just great fundamentals, as a person he's boring- he'll never have drama like Kobe/Jordan had, isn't interested in pimping shit so doesn't have sneakers or really any endorsements at all, etc., so Duncan is quietly brilliant whereas Jordan/Magic/Bird/Kobe are showy brilliant. | ||

I always say that Kobe went Super Saiyan 2 in the 05-07 seasons. Just look at how much weight he put on! He must have gone to 230lbs of pure muscle and he was a wrecking ball. It was a tragically bad team though. | ||
