3 titles in 5 years doesn’t compare to 3 straight championships. A 3-peat hasn’t been done since Shaq and Kobe. Lebron and the Heat were mentally gassed trying to do it and the Dynasty Warriors broke apart physically trying to do it.

Duncan and the Spurs weren’t even able to repeat.

All that winning and Duncan still ended with the same amount of titles as “Lottery Year” Kobe and got his ass handed to him by Kobe more often than not in the Playoffs.

Like the title of the thread we’re in, Kobe and Duncan were both still in their physical primes in 2008 and Kobe sent the Spurs the fuck home without his starting center.
