And I haven't seen anybody posting anything that negative about Kobe in this post.

Personally, I think Duncan is the more accomplished, better, whatever you want to label it player, and I will argue it with passion. I have no ill will towards Kobe at all.

Personally I think the hypothetical is unwarranted, but I do sort of see CC's point regarding people's rigid system of using #s to rank players. Neither the Spurs nor the Lakers are winning anything this year. Sure, Duncan has a chance with the Spurs, but I doubt much happens there just like I'd seriously doubt the Lakers would do much in the postseason this year with Kobe.
