...you don't know how many Duncan vs Kobe debates I've been in over the past decade or more.
Couple that with this nigga get so much love simply because he has the personality of dirt - he annoys me. Niggas claim they hate arrogant, flamboyant athletes, but they always talk about 'em.
Who talks abut Duncan if he ain't playing? Who brings him up in basketball debates, UNLESS he's playing?
I mean, I guess he talented and shit, but that nigga life is easy. He plays the game so straight up, it's EASY for him to be efficient and do what he does. That nigga don't have an entertaining bone in his body. Kobe managed to win, while playing with a much higher degree of difficulty. That's why people buy Kobe jerseys, and maybe FIVE Duncan jerseys have sold outside of Texas. Tonight when he was on that fastbreak, he looked like an old robot, with sparks flying, about to fall to pieces...
...who just managed to keep it together.
I like entertaining players who manage to play at a high level. If Kobe, over the years decided, 'Ok, I'm only going to take good shoots, and I'm going to always make the right pass' ... I'm sure he'd shoot a dumb high percentage, with less turnovers, and more assists too...
...but who would care about him?
That nigga just got a statue in China now.
Where is Duncan's statue? He's won, too.
Exactly.
Problem is, only niggas like cranrab, who were nailed to the floor, care about niggas like Duncan.
Saw how Dr. J just had that show dedicated to him? Why? Doc don't have a lot of titles. Is Doc even top 10 in any major statistical category? I don't think so. Why did he get that? 'Cause dude was great, and he did it with a lot of flair.
Most people don't pay their hard earned money to watch you shoot running hooks, and bank shots from the perimeter.
Edit: Damn I sound bitter.
