Can Rasheed Wallace defend Dirk Nowitzki?

[irishock]

LA's signing of Wallace may be to use him against Dirk imo. He's always been a great post defender and shut down Dwight in '10 ECF.

Who do you disagree with? No one is scared of the post-less Mavs. Without West you have no slashers either

[Hoops Czar]

What a silly question.... at 37, no.

[Latarian Milton]

if they were lookin for someone who can shut down dirk they shoulda signed ryan bowen or birdman instead imho, dirk struggles against white scrappy players which ain't no secret at all

Shut the fuck up you morons.

why is there so much cussing in this forum?

[endrity]

He couldn't in his prime, he is too flat-footed, i.e he doesn't have great hip movement which one thing a big man needs to have to defend Dirk. Haslem for example does.

They never played much, but I always felt in his prime Ben Wallace actually was a much better defender on Dirk. Gave him a lot of fits in that 05-07 period.

1. You can't defend Dirk
2. You can't defend a 7' jump shooter.

allowing him to score 20-25 should be good enough D on him tbh, no one can ever completely shut him down imho

[Jodelo]

No one can.

[Giuseppe]

^True. Dirk can only be stopped when he quits for a week.

[Jodelo]

^True.

Doubt that he could stop the German.

[dude1394]

He never could. I expect they just want a tall shooter.

[DJB]

He sure as shit never shut down Tim Duncan.

[Stalin]

indeed he can

Sure Jax could hold him pretty good, especially when he had an extra or 2 defenders running at Dirk.

[stretch]

In his prime, he would consistently get lit up by a young Dirk. I doubt he would fare any better now.
