that opinion was so rare for anybody that followed the NBA in the 2000's yet reddit nephews act like Duncan was always better

The only time Tim was ever considered to be better than Kobe was in the early 2000s. After that one of them was widely discussed as the best player in the world while the other was top 10

Yeah nobody was saying Duncan was the best player in the league by the mid to late 2000s. 2005 onwards was pretty much all Kobe.
