Dirk is the better player since he can take over a game. KG can't do as much with a ball as Dirk. He relies more on garbage points and doesn't have the range as Dirk has either. KG relied on Cassell to do a lot of the scoring.
who is better? who would you rather have on your team? I used to have them pretty even, and considered both very good players, but perinial losers. now that at least Dirk has reached the finals (though he had a better supporting cast) I wanted to ask who most people would prefer.

None. We already have Duncan.
KG probably still has bigger trade value so I'd get him and trade his ass for 2 solid stars next to Duncan.
KG has the more well rounded overall game, but Dirk is much more dangerous and gifted, and his abilities causes more problems for opposing defenses than KG can.
Dirk is a better offensive player, KG is better overall. KG is underrated because of the fact that he is a perennial loser.......which is mostly not his fault. The only thing i don't like about KG is that he sometimes disappears in crunch time.
Sorry I vote for KG... he can dominate a game in every way possible..Dirk can go off for 50 but he could also give up 50 in the same night..
Easily KG, he is way better defender and rebounder, Dirk's offense is slighty better but it's not enough to offset the rest.
KG. Although they're both whiners, I'd say KG is a little more versatile and a better defensive player.
kg. dirk has zero heart. i dig kg's passion and intensity.
Dirk has zero heart? lol ok homer. KG is a loser...dude has never won and never will. Dirk did lead his team to the finals something KG will never accomplish.
Dirk>>>>KG. Dirk has been out of round 1 many times even reached the finals. Even though this is not saying much Dirk is a clutcher player then KG is and keeps on leading his team to the playoffs while KG keeps hitting the Lottery.
Well. Dirk has never won, and never will.
lmfao...how the you figure i'm a homer if i'm a kings fan? it's not like i said i would take miller over them (though i would take a healthy webber over them anyday) kg hasn't had a stellar cast around him since cassell and spree left. dirk had j.ho, terry and stackhouse to help get them to the finals. and yeah, dirk does have zero heart. you're the ing homer if you don't see it, dude is a perinnial loser and choker. i doubt dallas sees the finals again and the one shot they had their "superstar" dirk watched slip away while having a 2-0 lead in a favored series. he just don't have what it takes to take the final leap, and i would not be surprised if he never gets past the western conference finals again.
you're right, dirk has reached the finals. it should be noted that they got there by going through an amare-less suns in the process. regardless, its no secret that dirk had better teammates while kg had a buncha scrubs. and i disagree about dirk being more clutch, i recall more than a fair share of situations where dirk had no answer in clutch time.
Ok dude keep talking nonsense and making excuses. Dirk was clutch through most of the playoffs. We'll have to see how the all mighty KG does this year...I;ve got money on another season missing the playoffs and disappearing in the clutch like normal. Btw there's no bigger group of chokers than Webber, Bibby en company. No wonder Shaq calls em the Sacramento Queens lol.
^^yeah, good point. i didn't hear much about us being called queens last season when we had artest and bonzi. but, it doesn't matter. the past is the past, so i'm moving forward. dirk is a very good player, but I would prefer KG over him anyday.
Yet the Mavs beat a spur team the Kings failed to beat. And Dirk did kinda hit the series ending shot against the Grizzlies in Game 3 (I was at that game)
lol...you're talking about the same grizz winnless in the playoffs? thats hardly a clutch time situation. it was that sweep that allowed them to have a strong showing against the spurs, who were tired from playing the kings. that "winning shot" doesn't make dirk clutch.
The grizz this last year and the grizz the 2 earlier years are two ing different teams. It's not their fault they ran into the wrong team.![]()
And how come it doesn't make it a clutch shot? Was he supposed to do a windmill from the freethrow line for the game winning shot?
Clutcher?![]()
Let's not get too carried away. I'll agree that Dirk isn't the most clutch player in the league. But to say Dirk is a perinnial loser and that the mavs will never see the finals again? The mavs are a deep, talented team and let's not forget Dirk has had his games where he hit big shots and led his team to victory. The mavs have just as good a chance as anyone to be back in the finals next season. Not to take anything away from kingfan, the Kings with Artest will also be a team to watch out for next year.
nice post. i agree that i may have over emphasized my position on dirk being a choker. and i can certainly admit that the mavs are still a very dangerous team (even moreso with the coming development of harris, imo) and it should be interesting to see how things turn out. no doubt they are deep, indeed.
