Why is it difficult to draw conclusions when discussing Kobe Duncan’s historical status?

It can be foreseen that if Kobe and Duncan swap teams, even if the former has Parker, Ginobili and other helpers, they may not have a championship in their lifetime...

In contrast, Duncan, if he played for the Los Angeles Lakers and debuted as the No. 1 pick to join forces with the Sharks O'Neal, when Angels City gathered two historical-level insiders, he might be able to dominate an era...

Discussion on who has a higher historical status in Kobe and Duncan, one thing can be confirmed -

If Duncan plays for the Lakers, under the spotlight of the Los Angeles media, Duncan naturally has a higher historical status!

When we talk about the historical status of the two stars, we often discuss their popularity at this time, and their popularity is often linked to their historical status.

Seeing this standard, it is obvious that Kobe is better, right?

Kobe learned almost all of Jordan's offensive moves secretly, and he made his back-to-back singles in a low post, which was as beautiful as Jordan. As for the footwork at the basket, his gorgeousness was as great as Jordan...

As for Duncan, his offensive tricks were not skilled but he had no edges. He played the 45-degree board at the basket, which was his signature skill, but his movements were ordinary but he could always give his opponent a fatal blow.

Duncan's inner killer's cold mentality under his serious expression is in stark contrast to Kobe's passionate passion.

Kobe's gorgeous style is obviously more popular, and his Mamba spirit has a far-reaching influence, which has also led to his influence for a long time.

Throughout his career, Kobe scored a total of 33,643 points, surpassing Jordan to rank fourth in history and is well-known.

, while Duncan ranked seventeenth in history with 26,496 points, which is still quite far from Kobe.

Both have 5 championships, and this one tied.

The only difference is that Kobe's first three championships were won by O'Neal as the second in command, while Duncan's five championships were the absolute leaders of the team throughout the whole process.

Compared with the number of FMVPs in the two finals, Kobe won 2 times, while Duncan 3 times, slightly better.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs successfully won the championship in 2007 and 2014, but the FMVP was taken away by Parker and Leonard, and Duncan missed the five FMVP trophys.

But for young Kobe, O'Neal was an unanimous FMVP back then, and he had no strength to compete for the FMVP in front of the big sharks. In the regular season MVP, Kobe won such an honor once and Duncan twice, and Duncan has another advantage.

And the All-Star MVP, Kobe has 3 times and the scoring champion has won 1 time. These honors are determined by the style of the game, and it is reasonable for Duncan to fail.

The best matchups for the two, Kobe 11 times, Duncan 10 times, and Kobe is slightly ahead.

But in the best defensive lineup, Duncan ranked first in history 15 times, and Kobe was inferior 12 times. Obviously, Duncan has an advantage on the defensive end.
