dirk: kobe is the greatest of my generation

[King Emmanuel]

NEW YORK – Few appreciated Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) surpassing Michael Jordan (http://espn.go.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player?id=203256) on the NBA’s all-time scoring list as much as the man who is six spots below the Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) legend.

Of course, Dirk Nowitzki (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/609/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 (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/215/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.”

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.

:toast
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 hell 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.

2011 the only year in 14 or so years he was able to get over on Duncan.
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.

[Cry Havoc]

Of course Dirk thinks Kobe is better, he never learned to play defense.

Odd comments by the german.

Wtf even Dirk has a legit case against Kobe, is he joking or he truly believes that Kobe is better than him :wow

[midnightpulp]

Why is Dirk hyping up a player he's better than?

And I ain't trolling with that comment, either. There is ZERO evidence that Kobe is a superior player to Dirk, aside from muh 81 points and 5 rings.

He's the second best PF of his generation and doesn't want to give Timmy his props lol that's some weak post-WW2 German fag shit tbh

It's a slap right across the kisser, that's for certain. I'm shocked to be frank. That he thought this is one thing, to put it out into the public another thing altogether.

He just cold cocked you, Arc. & you two teams are notoriously incestuous. I mean you routinely kick their ass so high up it could double as a hump and they still swear by ya's. But this, this is beyond the pale.

I have to keep reading it to make sure there ain't like a double cross meaning hidden in there, but, it's pure.

I don't understand it to be quite frank.

[Arcadian]

He's just being a prisoner of the moment is all. At various times, his own opinion has changed. He even once said that Garnett was his best opponent. So it doesn't mean much at all.

Dirk. Zero Cred on the subject.

I see a few Dallas fans laughed at this. Go back and watch that series. It was unreal (they said Duncan was in the restricted area when the replay showed his heel was a good foot from the line, phantom 'fouls' on Dirk, Terry jumping backwards into Bowen and fouling him out, etc.).

If you don't have time for all of it, watch the last minute of regulation in game 7. That's it. Manu fouls Dirk with seconds left (correct call); seconds later, Dirk blatantly hacks Duncan across the arms when he's going up - and the refs suddenly decide to 'let the players decide the game' (a.k.a. the 'we've arbitrarily decided that tackling is legal riiiggghhhtt now!' rule).
