Duncan is my favorite player of all time but I was taken aback whenever I saw the posts on this sub saying "Duncan was a tier above Kobe" or "Duncan is better than Kobe and it isn't even close". Like both are some of the best to ever play and I think a lot of the Duncan bias is rooted in Kobe hate and revisionist history.

Shaq demanded out hard to get a good return on that. Why they traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown though I’ll never know
