Webber: Dirk Plays Like a Small Guard

[mavsfan1000]

Can't stand this guy. Big choker in college. Never won a ring. Dirk has. Must be jealousy.

[92 Shoot em up]

This dude is known for one thing and one thing only.....choking in the biggest moments possible.

[cheguevara]

what BS. I'd say he plays like a big guard or even a SF

C-Webb has made it abundantly clear over the years with his criticisms of Dirk that he's a jealous hater. Also interesting because C-Webb over his ended up falling in love with that free throw extended midrange jumper and behind the back passes instead of using his athleticism and physicality to stay a dynamic force in the post. I don't mind his commentary in general, but he's a retarded jellycat when he criticizes Dirk.

But, hey, he gets paid to have an opinion so what are you going to do?

Dirk ever crossed someone up?

[Latarian Milton]

web being brutally honest tbh, dirk's soft like an ass and his playin style is no different then a shooting guard 6'5 or shorter

[NewcastleKEG]

A-lot of people in this thread don't remember Webber before his devastating knee injury

[lefty]

I agree with C - webb


Dirk is just an oversized SG


A great one, though

[irishock]

No. Dirk is a legit PF with excellent post up skills. He played like a SG (Soft guard) when he first came into the league to around 2006. And then Carlisle made him into a legit post up threat.

overhyped white trash never poses any threat at the low post, shootin fade-aways in front of guys who he's 5-6 inches taller than

[LobCity]

Webber profusely praised Dirk a lot during half time. He did say that he plays like a guard a lot of the time but doesn't he?

[MavDynasty]

He shoots a lot of jumpshots like a guard and drives like a guard yes. But Dirk is mainly a post player now, he doesn't iso as much either. Most of his damage is down in the high post with his back to the basket. The only guard I can think of that operates in that area a lot is Kobe

[FkLA]

Why yall niggas getting butthurt for? Thats like saying Duncan plays like a center now. Its true. Just like its true that Dirks game isnt really that of a true bigman. He relies mostly on his jumper, even his go to fadeaway is more a guards move than a bigmans. Plus hes averaging like 6 rpg.

Bullshit. If you were one of the best shooters in the world, and tall enough so that no one could block your shot, would you shoot it or be in the post?

Hint: The right answer is shoot it, dumbass

[MavDynasty]

Exactly. He plays somewhat like a guard I admit but he also plays in the post as well. His entire Thunder series last year was mainly in the high post tbh

I don't get why people shit on him for not being in the low post all the time but shouldn't a player play to his strengths?

[lefty]

Saying that Dirk plays like a SG is not a negative observation.


Quite the opposite, he has redefined his position

[mavsfan1000]

Dirk can play high or low. It just depends what you throw at him. There are some guards that go in the post and bigs that shoot 3's. The way Webber explains it seems like a hateful way. Dirk is versatile enough to take it down low against weaker players. Imo having 5 players that are capable of hitting the 3 is really hard to guard with a player that is capable of driving and kicking out. Dirk playing more traditionally would actually hurt Dallas. Imo Durant is more like a guard than Dirk. But you don't hear Webber hating on Durant.

Dirk can do whatever the fuck Dirk wants. He is Dirk. Hear him roar.

LOL at Brian Cardinal.

[Latarian Milton]

dirk is unique and he survived this way i think web just pointed out some simple truths w/o no intent of humiliating & hating. dirk's a great player no doubt and he's probably the only reason why the mavs are still in contention, but most other PFs 6'10 or higher do not play that way tbh

[Texas Chili Dog]

LOL at Brian Cardinal.

:lol Cardinal has a serious man crush on Dirk. No joke. Wherever Dirk is, Cardinal makes sure he is right there. First person to run out on the court when a TO is called to high five Dirk? Cardinal.

It's like in middle school, when there was this girl you had a crush on and you made sure you sat next to her in class. Cardinal is like that with Dirk. :lol
