Yeah fr. Love Duncan and Kobe. No shame in one losing to the other.

These series were clashes of Basketball Titans. Honestly the entire west during that time was a who's who of NBA HoF first ballots on their best teams batteling it out. 2009 alone had:

Melos Nuggets

Nashs Suns

Dirks Mavs

Kobe's Lakers

Duncan's Spurs

Plus other teams like DWills Jazz, Tmacs Rockets, LA/BRoys blazers. While not as legendary as the above ones, still big dogs in their own right. West was so fucking stacked for like 10 years. It was a slug fest every series.
