Just saying.....
I wonder often how the past 12 years would have been if a team would have been able to get Duncan at #1 and steal Dirk the next year at #9.
Two down to earth superstars, no Kobe/Shaq style beef, perfect frontcourt-combo...
You add a slasher, 2 great shooters that are nice/good defenders and a solid bench...
I'll be the next PF to pass that washed up stiff.
Good for him.
He should probably get working on that whole Career Championships thing.
sons and I'm sure 60-70% of those points came from the free throw line. gotta love how the refs and NBA have helped their "great white hype" over the years.
That didn't take long!
Even if there is 80% points from FT line - one have to earn FT.
Dirk is one of the best in the league and deserves respect.
That didn't take long!
3 rings got
Actually, the big difference is the 3 point line...
Dirk needed to actually make 1,200 3 pointers to get there... Duncan only 24
And the OP is wrong... Dirk passed Duncan in regular season points...
Overall career points, Duncan still leads 22748 to 21611, thanks to Duncan having more points in the post-season... (3,407 vs 2,238)
oh please ... son the majority of free throws from ALL STAR PLAYERS are bogus/bull freebie points. not ALL of the free throws, but definitely most of them. the league wants to help inflate their points per game numbers to make them look more impressive.
take Kobe for example. lets say he has one of his typical 9 for 25 shooting nights with say 23 points ... sure those are decent numbers, but he is a star player and will get "extra" help. the league will make sure he gets put at the line for AT LEAST 10 free throws whenever he is shooting poorly to help boost his points up. in that example, 33 points (10 thanks to free throws) looks a lot better than just 23 points off of 9 of 25 shooting.
No he isn't wrong, you are just a butthurt got. The "regular season" points leader is the only measure that anyone gives a about. When people bring up all time scoring they are never talking about what you brought up. Which is why it is labeled as all time points leader on both NBA.com and basketball-reference.com. Exactly the same as the OP labeled it.
That didn't take long!We wouldn't want to disappoint.
Duncan has played 100 games more than Dirk (playoffs?).
Duncan averages twice as many blocks as DN.
Duncan averages almost triple the amount of off rebounds
Duncan averages more defensive and total rebounds.
Duncan averages more assists.
*from ESPN.com under career avg's.

No surprises here, Dirk can shoot
I'm just surprised it took so long. I honestly didn't even know Duncan was ahead of him in the first place.
I guess Mav fan has to take whatever perceived victories wherever they can find them...
oh, 4 rings ots and all that.
maybe now Dirk can start playing D?
Read the thread le again. What did OP label it?
You fail, try again.
4>0
4 rings, got.
Ummmmmm...................................... you are getting hotter
lol utsaUmmmmmm...................................... you are getting hotter
LOL...............your mom. STFU ringless NBA team supporter.
What a great accomplishment for Dirk's career.
I'd rather support a ringless NBA team than be a UTSA student.
