Seig Heil!!!
NEW YORK – Few appreciated Kobe Bryant surpassing Michael Jordan on the NBA’s all-time scoring list as much as the man who is six spots below the Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Of course, Dirk Nowitzki has always been a big fan of Bryant, who now sits in the No. 3 spot among the league’s all-time scoring leaders with 32,331 career points.
“He’s probably the greatest player in my generation that I played against,” said Nowitzki, who has 27,239 career points and will likely pass Elvin Hayes and Moses Malone over the next few weeks to move up to seventh on the list. “Obviously Shaq was very dominant, Tim Duncan was great, but I just loved watching Kobe. I don’t think there will ever be another MJ, but he’s definitely as close as it gets that we’ll ever see.
“He had it all. He’s a clutch player, can make shots from anywhere. I’ve had a blast from watching him during his career very closely. That’s a heck of an accomplishment for sure.”
I still wonder how sick they would have been as a duo had the Lakers pulled the trigger on trading Kobe to Dallas back in 07.
Didn't they ask Dirk in that trade?
No, just a strip of your mother's pelt.
Hard to take anyone against Kobe in 1-on-1, skillset, footwork and entertainment value though
How's the wifey? Still cucking your old ass.
LMVICTORIOUSAO!!!
Kirby would have run Dirk offPERIOD.
Kirbs got beaten by some Chinese midget 1-on-1 in the offseason, he'd get his pushed in by DK, LeBron, Duncan, etc.
Or, made a man out of him like he did Artest.
Dirk is that Wigga.... ing black ho's giving my nig his props...ignoring Tammy's gay ass.....I bow down to my Wigga....that being said...I want Dallas to fall out of the play offs Kobe deserves that last spot....
Players post Jordan:
1) Duncan
2) Shaq
3) Lebron
4) Dirk
5) MVPau
6) Kobe
7) Garnett
8) Wade/Iverson/Carter/McGrady (Kobe would've been here if not for Shaq and MVPau)
Heil mein kamerade
Lol. As if your opinion matters
Kirby is probably the best individual talent of Dirk's generation. But as far as impacting the game, which is a much better measure of greatness, he might not even be Top 5 tbh.
If you look at last second shots or in the last minute of the game he has made some very tough shots but his % is horrible, he has not been clutch in years to tell you the truth. Great overall talent and a of a scorer and some wild memorable shots fell late in games but that masks the fact he is not very clutch and hasn't been for a while, stats prove it. Most remember the shots at the end of Portland games (A few) and that one Miami game, that overshadows the tons of misses.
Fixed it for the German got"Tim Duncan is great"
Chris2011 the only year in 14 or so years he was able to get over on Duncan.Fixed it for the German got
2006 fluke due to reffing, Timmy worked him with another MVP performance. Along with Ginobilis brain fart the only reasons.
Dirk. Zero Cred on the subject.
Of course Dirk thinks Kobe is better, he never learned to play defense.
