1998 - Commercial - Sprite - Tim Duncan & Kobe Bryant - Obey Your Thirst

[gc3k]

arguably the two greatest players drafted since 1996

[emoore2525]

probably the last commercial tim duncan was in

[avinball]

@emoore2525 naw, he's in some involving tony parker and manu ginobli

[ThePerkiSystem]

Lacing up the And 1's cuz I couldn't afford Nike's or Reebok's!

Favorite part of the commercial is when Timmy goes back and forth between the legs. I remember thinking "Damn, I didn't know Tim had handles like that!?!"

[P4dddy1977]

Kobe > anybody

[04gopackgo92]

Kobe > Duncan

[Kato00a]

Wow, Tim Duncan used to be on mainstream commercials? He used to be relevant in the media? Now no one talks about him unless he idk, gets injured. Sad, the legends should always get their due. First ballot hall of famer right there.

[ZeusOwnsYou]

SPRITE IS FOR BLACK PEOPLE ONLY

[Stuph19]

Meanwhile, Lebron was in middle school

[nappa0582]

@Stuph19 And not a single fuck is given.

[Stuph19]

@nappa0582 Hey buddy I don't appreciate your attitude lol

[aznmanrugby]

i miss these kinds of commercials

[2000VinceCarter]

great commercial , now all we have is shitty commercials

[shlomibeast]

this has to the best commercial ever

[SuperMK58]

this is the most 90's thing ever

[theodaman420]

Ginobili better than Kobe? That's a complete joke. Ginobili is a borderline hall of famer. Kobe is a sure-fire first ballot hall of famer. Kobe was more than just a sidekick to Shaq during those three championships. He was arguably as valuable as Shaq was. Look at the stats. Kobe averaged almost as many points as Shaq during those seasons. No way Kobe wins without Shaq or Shaq wins without Kobe.

[SicVic99]

@theodaman420 Kobe was just a sidekick. Shaq was a dominant force: it was Shaq's league, and everyone else was just playing in it during some of those playoffs.

[pkflyers]

@SicVic99 kobe was just a sidekick? He must have been the greatest sidekick of all time then (look at this)

i51[DOT]tinypic[DOT]com/2mq3v5­i[DOT]jpg

[SicVic99]

@pkflyers He clearly was no slouch, but Shaq 97-02 > Kobe 97-02. (Being a sidekick isn't an insult. Pippen, McHale, Magic- they've all been the second piece to another dominant force)

[theodaman420]

The two greatest players of this generation. Take your pick which one is better.

[TheAmazingJelly]

Little do they know these two will go down as all time greats.

[SASpursGRL21]

Love Timmy!

[Roberto112211965]

I...............Saw..........H­air

[ManChicken123]

Look Kobe won his first three championships while being Shaq's sidekick. The lakers didnt make it to the playoffs after he left. It took him about 5 years just to win a championship on his own. If Ginobili lead a team i think he could definitely get them a championship. He is determination, always plays his heart out, doesnt stop until the whistle blows, and he is as good or better than Kobe

[theodaman420]

@ManChicken123 Ginobili would have gotten nowhere without Tim Duncan.

[667newdevilgod]

Two of the greatest to ever do it.

[richcarolina]

NINE rings between these two men.

[adamy10]

The best players of this generation Kobe and Tim

[Wombaggins]

@adamy10 No way. It's Tim and Shaq. Those two affect the game at both ends of the court on so many levels. Kobe is one-dimensional. In fact, I would argue Nash is a better basketball player than Kobe is. I'm not saying Nash would beat Kobe 1-on-1 but Nash could make a team better more than Kobe could. Nash took a 39 win team the previous season and turned them into a 62 win team that was the 1 seed. When Shaq left, the Lakers couldn't even make the playoffs.

[adamy10]

@Wombaggins Can't argue with that friend.

[theodaman420]

@Wombaggins Yeah because Kobe got injured and he had a horrible supporting cast. They also lost Karl Malone, Gary Payton, and Derek Fisher. And he took them to the playoffs the next two years after that and almost knocked off the suns in the first round. Nash had Amare, Shawn Marion, barbosa and raja bell. Kobe had Smush parker, Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, and an inconsistent Lamar Odom. Kobe did make his teammates better. Once they got pau gasol they won two titles, while the suns had zero.

[lottdominique]

@theodaman420 "Smush parker, Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, and an inconsistent Lamar Odom" GM fail Lmao

[Blizz127]

wtf then and wtf now

[Fifastarful]

Lakers and the spurs have dominated the NBA since 1999. they both have won 9 out of 12 championships. The west is the best.

[xAYYjAYx]

that the key word obey trust me by ty

[billslover90]

duncan may have been the best pf of all time but legends like rodman, kemp, and malone were just more exciting.

[hierojux]

I remember this. Thanks for posting

[billyjack95]

Its funny how far they've come.

[kingflorents]

kobe the second best shooting guard ever after jordan

[chiness07]

@kingflorents well said

[AGuitarNinja]

@kingflorents 3rd after ginobili then jordan

[kingflorents]

@AGuitarNinja your on crack but then your probably thinking base on your emotions not true facts

[AGuitarNinja]

nbadotcomplayerprofiles(career stats) Ginobili has more than kobe in assists,assists per turnover, steals,steals per turnover,fg%,ft %,3fg%, has less career turnovers, and last but not least better all time winning percentage which means when Ginobili plays Ginobili wins. Bryant is a good but his proclivity for scoring is due to the loads of shots that he wastes and the chances he takes that result in easy points for other teams. Ginobili will win even if the smarter play isn't as flashy ahem..

[sg960]

@AGuitarNinja Spoken like a True Spur's fan. Ginobili dosn't deserve to be in the same breath as Kobe Bryant let along the same sentence. Genobili is nothing more than a third option on a team nothing more or nothing less.The only place Genobili could lead a team as a number one option is straight into the ground.

[Disposable5]

@AGuitarNinja dumbass

[Wombaggins]

@AGuitarNinja You're wasting your time. These mongs don't understand real basketball. Real basketball fans know how overrated Kobe is and how underrated Gino is.

[AGuitarNinja]

@Wombaggins Sometimes I ask myself why do I even waste my breathe when some people are too hard headed to listen to facts. I swear it's like talking to the basketball equivalent of jihad in the name of god suiciders, no matter how obviously wrong they are they're just that die hard.

[pinchegerry87]

tim Duncan is one of the best power forwards ever!!!

[theodaman420]

@pinchegerry87 Duncan is the best power forward ever. I would take him just ahead of Karl Malone.

[Amar283]

@pinchegerry87 Actually Duncan is the best power forward ever. Period.

Name anyone better. You can't.

[omhat]

@pinchegerry87 tim duncan, rasheed wallace, kevin garnett the best of the best.

[dddiop]

@omhat Rasheed? He's not even top 10 of the decade.

[omhat]

@dddiop rasheed was the heart of portland, he just had a lot of bad chemistry on that team. pippen was fake franchise just like chris webber, rasheed could come thru in the clutch, he has stats and a ring to back it up, eg. 2004 champ detroit pistons homie, he was a complete stud.

if he could maintain his cool, hed be one of the top 5 of all time.
