Could Dirk be 3rd leading scorer of all-time?

[bdictjames]

Just passed Shaq for 6th place all-time. Dirk's quietly getting up there. I believe he can continue with this play considering his jump shooting style. He might end up playing 3-4 years and pass the Kobester :wow

[DMC]

He'll retire after next season, possibly this one. 20 years next year.

[bdictjames]

Dirk has been relatively tough despite being in the league for a long, long time. The fact that he doesn't use a lot of athleticism, and is not called to play outstanding defense, makes him an excellent prime scorer in the league. Still not many 7-footers who can shoot jumpers, and shoot them well. I hope Dirk stays in the league for 3-4 years and put himself 3rd leading scorer of all-time. That would be a great achievement for the Wunderkind, such an underappreciated player in the league.

Product of Carlisle's system and free throws tbh

he said he'd play out his contact. which is for two more seasons. then consider retiring.

[Kawhitstorm]

He hasn't been able to sustain his form past the All-star break for the past couple of seasons so we'll see. He basically has been clowned on by Tiago/Josh Smith in back-to-back postseasons.:lol

Dirks knees are gone. If he plays one more year his production probably won't get him
up the list far.

...but he was already an elite scorer long before Carlisle became his coach. If anything, he was already past his prime when Carlisle joined.

I just put that bc Mavs fans use that same excuse with Timmy

:cry Switch Dirk & Tim and Spurs have 5+ championships :cry

I've heard "SysTim" for awhile now too :lmao dumb ass faggots

Only product of a system is Kobe. Tbh. He always spent his whole career in the lottery without daddy Phil holding his hand

Duncan WAS the system from 1998-2010

It was Finley that ditched Dirk to ride Tim's coattails to a championship :lol

-Didn't Dirk have 4 All-Stars in the PRIMES (Walker/Nash/Jaimson/Finley) & ended up getting bounced 4-1 in the 1st rd by Bibby (Webber's knee were shot in '04):lmao

-The Mavs were better off w/ Najera in the line-up rather than Dirk back in '03 when Tim single handily demolished the Mavs that they decided to triple team him late in the series leading to the "Steve Kerr Game":lol

-He was also outplayed by Caron Bulter when the Spurs upset them in 2010 (despite Dirk having Butler/Marion/Terry/Kidd) w/ George Hill throwing a dagger in Dirk's face. (Tyson Chandler turned them into a championship team as the rest of their roster remained the same)

Duncan led a team with Stephen Jackson as his second best scorer to a championship :lol ended the Shaq/Kobe three peat as well that year

Dirk fans cry a lot about him not having enough help. Like he was KG in Minnesota. Nash, Kidd, Van Exel, Terry, Finley, Josh Howard, Jamison, Walker, Chandler, Marion, Peja, Ellis, Rondo, Carter, Butler, Parsons, Mathews etc.

Definitely got more help in F/A than Tim ever did. All the help Duncan got in his prime was Robinson late in his career, some late first and second rounders, Bowen, and shit replaceable Centers post Robinson

People act like Dirk played w/ a bunch of scrubs in 2011 when Terry was breaking 3 point records, Barea was unstoppable from getting into the paint & Kidd/Marion/Tyson were as good a trio of defenders as there were during that period (that team was a defensive minded team who hit timely shots). They even had Caron Bulter but he got injured mid-season & DeShawn Stevenson player well on both end. Shyt, even Peja won them a game.

Dirk was basically their designated hitter & actually got outplayed by Wade (who was slowed down in gm 5/6 after Brian Cardinal injured his hip w/ a dirty foul). Dirk shot 41% for the series & 9/27 in the closeout game but folks want to make it seem like he put up Wilt Chamberlain stats (Hibbert put up better number against Bosh:lol). It was all thanks to LeBron for gift wrapping Dirk his only ring by his inability to post up JJ Barea:lmao. I did enjoy Dirk destroying Kirby & the Lakers.

[TheGreatYacht]

The 2011 Heat was such an embarrassing roster tbh :lol

Starting Five in the playoffs:
C Joel Anthony :lol
PF Chris Bosh
SF young beta Lebron James
SG Dwyane Wade
PG Mike Bibby :lol

Lebron was a choker then and got outscored by Jason Terry in the finals lmao
:cry but Dirk had no help :cry

The Heat were a totally different team w/ Battier/Ray Allen b/c that allowed them to play small-ball & scramble on defense. LeBron got outscored by JJ Barea in the 4th quarter:lmao. It was Barea/Terry (not Dirk) that closed out Gm 5 & took over Gm 6.

Dirk won't catch Kobe, Kobe is going to retire with close to 34k. Dirk would have to continue his play for 3 more years. Not going to happen.

This is true. Dirk was in his prime in 05-07, he was past his prime by 09 but his playoff performances got better by then.

This is probably one of the worst takes in ST history, probably a bait as well but I'll bite.

>Didn't Dirk have 4 All-Stars in the PRIMES (Walker/Nash/Jaimson/Finley) & ended up getting bounced 4-1 in the 1st rd by Bibby (Webber's knee were shot in '04):lmao

Nice try, but Nash's back was fucked up, Jamison never fit in, Finley was about 5 years past this prime and Walker was an average player.

>-The Mavs were better off w/ Najera in the line-up rather than Dirk back in '03 when Tim single handily demolished the Mavs that they decided to triple team him late in the series leading to the "Steve Kerr Game":lol

Oh sure, a 25.6 PER superstar doesn't have as much impact on his team as a bench scrub.

>-He was also outplayed by Caron Bulter when the Spurs upset them in 2010 (despite Dirk having Butler/Marion/Terry/Kidd) w/ George Hill throwing a dagger in Dirk's face. (Tyson Chandler turned them into a championship team as the rest of their roster remained the same)

In that series, Dirk: PER of 28, .643 TS%, 27/8.
Caron Butler: 17.8 PER, 53 TS%. Totally outplayed that Irk Noringski



If you're going to shitpost, then at least pull the numbers from the GSW series, you big black clown.

[Kawhitstorm]

Nice try, but Nash's back was fucked up, Jamison never fit in, Finley was about 5 years past this prime and Walker was an average player.

-Jamison was the 6th man of the year, didn't fit in:lmao
-Nash's back was fucked up: Webber's knees were fucked up:lol
-Walker was an average player: All-Star Walker became average playing w/ Dirk then outplayed him in the 2006 when it mattered:lol
-Finely was 5 years past his prime: Finely set a career high for 3 pointers made & was the best periemter defender on the team in '03-'04!:lol After Cuban dumped him when his knees buckled from carrying the Mavs, Finley led the Spurs in 3 pointers made in '05-'06 & in the '07 postseason when they won the chip b/c Tim makes everyone better even Dirk's trashes:lol

The only missing from the 2000-04 Mavs was a defensive anchor........like Timmay/KG!:lol
-Tim beat the Lakers & won a title w/ the shittest supporting cast in NBA history
-KG carried past-prime Spree & a gimpy Cassell (KG turned him into an All-Star) to the WCF while playing every position including point guard! He barely lost to the Lakers w/ FOUR 1st ballot HOFers, not a team led by Mike Bibby.:lmao


Oh sure, a 25.6 PER superstar doesn't have as much impact on his team as a bench scrub.

Oh yeah, how could have I forgotten PER factor in defense:lmao. You might want to go back & rewatch the series b/c Tim mauled the Mavs w/ Dirk playing help defense. His net rating was a NEGATIVE (ORtg: 104, DRtg: 109):lmao& Najera had a neutral net rating (ORtg: 104, DRtg:104). Finley meanwhile ORtg: 127:wow, DRtg: 109.



In that series, Dirk: PER of 28, .643 TS%, 27/8.
Caron Butler: 17.8 PER, 53 TS%.

Boxscore Bobby, that was one of those "empty stat" series for Dirk aka the Tony Parker special. Butler was the one that carried the Mavs on his back in Gm 5 to give them a fighting chance of winning the series while Dirk was resigned to getting bounced in the 1st yet again.

Somebody got their panties in bunches:lol, Dirk is about to retire as the only HOFer/Finals MVP who never won a single series after winning his only championship.:lmao How fitting for Dirk to be setting empty milestones :lol but he's still the 2nd best player of his generation only behind Timmay.:toast

[Canyonero]

Maybe but he'll still be surpassed by LeBron and Durant.

I would go back even further, like 03-07. I.e. the Don Nelson/Avery Johnson days.
