What does NS predict for the finals?

I think Clippers and Oklahoma will battle it out for the West. And Heat and Knicks for the East.

I don't like either team, but I have soo much more respect for the Spurs... Tim Duncan? Most underrated player of all time... and I mean that because the guy just straight up doesn't get talked about like other stars. No clue why. He's just quiet I guess.

He's widely considered the greatest PF of all time.

Underrated might be the wrong term.

Underhyped.

This is absurd. He is definitely one of the best all time but he's not the best.
Also people saying he is better than Kobe or Shaq is garbage as well

Best Power Forward. Kobe is a SG and Shaq was a Center.

I'd say that statement is right on point.He's a two time NBA MVP, 3 time Finals MVP, and 4 time NBA Champion.

No shit, I know they played different positions. But people were saying in all time rankings Duncan would be higher than them.

I totally agree. Duncan is a great player and he is underrated.

Yes I like Duncan because he is a respectable player. You're insinuating that I should hate Duncan just because he is on the other team. He is one of if not the best power forward of all time who plays clean basketball. I like James because of the way he dominates games and gets the whole team involved(maybe not these finals yet but I have hope). I stand by the heat as my team but I respect Duncan for his contributions to the sport.

The Heat is your team. What more do I need to say.
You respect Duncan's contributions to the game, but not Kobe's?

kobe is a ball hog and not a team player this is why he only has 1 mvp. he was part of all pile on teams.
lebron is for sure on a pile on team right now but everyone around him is playing like shit. it dont matter if you are the best player in the world if the people around you cant do shit.

lets look at Kobe's records.

Kobe= NBA record 2nd most missed shots in a game

Kobe= NBA record most missed shots in a regular season

Kobe= NBA record most missed game winners

Kobe= NBA record most missed buzzer beaters

Kobe= NBA record worst shot attempt to assist ratio (this screams selfishness)

Kobe= NBA record only finals MVP to not shoot above 50% in a single finals game (he did it in 2009 and 2010)

Kobe= NBA record worst shooting performance by any finals MVP in history (40% shooting)

Kobe= NBA record of the top 10 scorers of all-time Kobe has the lowest shooting %

Kobe= NBA record there are only 13 games in history where someone shot below 50% to reach 50 points, Kobe is responsible for 7 of those 13 games.

Kobe= NBA record most missed shots in a playoff series

Kobe= NBA record most missed shots in a finals

Need I say more?

Kobe plays the 2 guard, hes not out there to assist or set others up. Kobe takes a lot of shots, of course what else would you expect from one of the greatest scorers of all time. Obviously if you take a lot you miss a lot, what's your point? I don't know if you ever watched Kobe play when he was at his best or if your one of these new fans who decided you love the Heat since they won last year, but Kobe is one of the greatest of all time. I'm not going to google to get some bullshit stats to back this up because if you've ever seen then you'd know what im talking about.

Kobe is an all star. No matter how you look at it. But he is a selfish and arrogant all star.

I agree. But is Lebum not selfish and arrogant? Same goes for Jordan. There is nothing wrong with either of those traits especially when they're so good and consistently back it up

When did Manu Ginobli forget how to play basketball? Now its not even just that he cant make shots, hes just playing poor basketball period.

he won two rings without another superstar on his team. Pau Gasol was the 2nd best player on his team and most would say Pau is a bum. Also, go ahead and find me a player who won a championship without other great players on his team. ball hogs dont win five rings.
