watching Dirk on D was pure comedy.

You joking. They wasn't beating Kobe and nem.
***** were 2 inbounds passes, and a STUPID Kenyon Martin foul away from bouncing Hobe....then inevitably Dwight in '09.
Nuggets was hungry in 2010. Even had Bron Bron crying.

LOOK AT HIS FACE at 12:48. Look at eeeeeem!!! That day, he decision was made.....essentially stalling the careers of Melo, Dwight and Deron Williams. Them ****** got so thirsty to follow LeBron and try to form their own "big 3s" in big markets....and it backfired.
**** Kobe too btw.
KG is definitely the more complete player, but I think Dirk can carry you further as the #1.
Uh KG was the Celtics best player in 2008 when they won the chip.
How far did that take them though?
KG would not get to the finals with a past prime Kidd, Terry, Marion, even Josh Howard in 06. I cant even imagine how many rings Dirk would have with Pierce, Ray and Rondo
Its really based on your preference. I dont think KG would be able to beat any team in the FInals as the #1 option. Surround him with a past prime Marion, Kidd, Terry. Cant see it happening. That team was tailor made for Dirk though. Plus they beat some crazy good competition that year.
Terry was really underrated in those finals and Dirk was a little overrated in those finals. I have no doubt KG coulda gave the mavs the same production probably even better.
True, but I find the whole "who's better overall as a player" to be hard to argue when they both have had an impact on the team(s) they played.Do we have to compare Dirk and KG? Both have different play styles but were great at what they did as a 2.
I'd rather talk about this than compare jersey sales
Probably none.KG would not get to the finals with a past prime Kidd, Terry, Marion, even Josh Howard in 06. I cant even imagine how many rings Dirk would have with Pierce, Ray and Rondo
KG has trouble in the clutch in his prime but he was going to do it at 35?
i remember living in Germany and hearing about this 13 year old kid who could play. Ended up being Dirk. Saw some clips and thought he was just a Euro player who would never last. Wrong.
Carmelo Anthony was drafted in 2003. From 2003 to 2013 he was fourth overall in NBA jerseys sold.Looks at average number (6.3). Hmmm seems in line with what I said about consistently being in the top 5.
And look:

Look who's on both lists. Those are your superstars.
Kobe, Bron, Wade, AI, Shaq as far as popularity and merits. Others in like TD, KG, Dirk more on merits.
As for that 2013 year that's about as close as he got to superstar level I'll admit but they got bounced in the 2nd rd. As for the finish in voting eh, Joakim was 4th the very next year. Guess he was a superstar too.

Its not even fully about the Finals. Dirk swept the defending champs and beat a really good Thunder team. Then demolished the superteam.
The type of playoff run he had was one of the best ever. Dude was dominating every singe player and defense thrown at him.
My dude Dirk is about to retire. Play 20 years in the NBA and the best scorer he played with was either Michael Finley or Monta Ellis.
How Sway?Even LeBrons star would shine brighter in L.A. Or NYC

Monta was godly during his stint in Dallas tho. Like Lou Williams with Kobe Bryant's skill set
Carmelo Anthony was drafted in 2003. From 2003 to 2013 he was fourth overall in NBA jerseys sold.
Using a list that starts in 1998 to counter that claim is super intellectually dishonest. Do better.
