There will always be the debate as to who was the better player, Michael Jordan or LeBron James. An NBA analyst now attempts to settle the question of who was better between Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan.
The age old question of who is the greatest NBA player always is up for discussion. Some say Michael Jordan. Some say LeBron James.
There are also those who put Kobe Bryant in the conversation but one NBA analyst recently said he thinks that's a stretch. In fact, ESPN's Zach Lowe stated on The Lowe Post that Tim Duncan is closer to the top of the list than Bryant. "I'm not saying I'm definitely ranking over anybody. I've got to do the actual deep dive," Lowe said. "But, I have been pretty hard on the island of I think I'd rank him above Kobe for sure - well, not for sure, let me amend that - I think I would rank him above Kobe all-time.
Zach Lowe on Tim Duncan: "I have been pretty hard on the island of ranking him above Kobe all time. I think he's probably closer to the 6-8 range than the 12-14 range."The players are easy to compare. They both played in the same era. Their teams played in the Finals 13 times, with each player winning five titles.
This decision by Lowe could shock many. Duncan might be a top 10 player, but Bryant deserves top five consideration. There are those who played against both Bryant and Jordan who would even make the argument Bryant was the greatest player ever.Scott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel.
