Oh Tim.  Always trying to defend some douchebag.  Bryant's not even a man, so how can he be The Man?
I didn't say he's a good person, he's not. Being a bad person does not prevent you from being good at basketball.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Tim Duncan: The Man. 

Kobe Bryant:  Not The Man.

Tim Duncan is also an all time great, but he doesn't seem to have much of a personality.

Well he doesn't go around raping people and just generally being a huge fucking douche, but yeah, he has a personality.  He's really nerdy, actually.  Heh.

Too early still?  :unsure:

Or too late, they're already almost at the Conference finals stage.

The West is weird this year, Dallas has a real chance to make it to the finals again, the Lakers choke like bitches and the semifinal between Oklahoma and Memphis is being outstanding.

Most players with personality are at least confrontational if not  jerks. Jordan, Bird, Barkley they were all jerks. The only nice guy I can think of with a really forceful personality is Magic.

Magic was a philanderer.

That says something about his morals, not his personality.

Bulls are doing really well.  Lot of excitement here.  Rose is playing extremely well in the playoffs, and I hate the Heat with Lebron now, so nothing would make me happier than to see their championship dreams crushed.

Magic was just a big of a douche as the other guys when he was playing Basketball.  He supposedly invented the persona Magic so he could be a jerk and then transition back to Earvin when he was not playing.  At least according to him but Magic loves talking about himself so who knows?

Larry Bird seems like a pretty decent dude to me.  I mean not dealing with anything related to Basketball of course but I was pretty touched by how much he reached out when Magic got HIV.  He didn't have to do that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the fact that Tim Duncan is both an incredibly good basketball player and not an asshole.  vOv
