Dirk is Captain Planet, not quite a Batman or Superman but not a Robin
Dirk is more like the black Power Ranger. Not quite as good as the red one, but much better than the blue one.

I'll definitely put Dirk over Amare... by a long margin
Tommy>Jason>Zach>Billy.
It's a huge insult to Dirk to mention Duhmare' alongside him.
Right now Dirk is Tommy, Duncan is Jason, Pau is Zach, and KG is Billy.
Scratch that: KG is Kimberly.
You have to put Bosh somewhere in there. Except a stretch in December he has played really well this year.
Probably below Gasol, Pau is still underrated by many.
Not enough Power Rangers!
Dirk isn't quite a Steve Zissou, but he's better than a Klaus or Wolodarsky. He's an Esteban or Kingsley type.
I think he pretty much is. The only PF in his prime all-time I would take over him hand's down is Duncan. The only other guy I would think about is the Round Mound of Rebound. I'd take him over Malone, Garnett, and McHale all freaking day. Dirk has never had the luxury of playing alongside another legit star. The closest he had, was Josh Howard who was picked as an all-star alternate ONCE. I wonder how he would do playing alongside guys like Bird or Stockton, or Paul Pierce. I'd say when you consider all cir stances, the things that he has accomplished is quite amazing. He was the sole leader of a team that got just as far as Malone/Stockton did together, and better than anything Garnett ever did when he was actually the #1 guy. McHale was a good player, but lived off of a crapload of single teams because of guys like Bird and Parish on his team. Dirk hasn't really had the luxury that other PFs that won a ring, had, in either having another superstar, or multiple legit stars.
Pretty much, and as much as loved Barkley, he never got that ring, and once his athleticism started to erode he had a pretty quick fall. Because Dirk's game is based much more on abilities, if he remains healthy, Dirk should have a very soft decline.
You can argue though, that at his very peak, Barkley was a bit better than Dirk because of his amazing work on the boards while still scoring consistently in the high 20s, but that peak of his wasn't very prolonged.
Another guy that I have read about, but never saw was Dave DeBuschere (I hope I spelled his name right). One of the key players from the knicks in the 70s, and someone who McHale is often considered to have copied for some of his famous post moves.
But still less votes for the All-Star Game. He's playing probably the best basketball of his career, but he still doesn't get credits by most of the fans (otherwise he wouldn't be 5th in the West).
If Dirk was black he would get just as many votes as they do.
al jefferson.
Yao Ming
his game is as center-like as it can be, all around the basket!
The best PF in the NBA just blocked a game-tying shot to preserve a 2-point win for the Spurs at Charlotte
It is no question that Tim is still the best. LMFAO at the person who said Dirk + TP + Manu = championships.
the red ranger made a gay porno
I'm pretty sure most voters for the All-Star games are white (sans China). Unless you're saying they're bias against white players which is silly.
It's just the common case of voters being dumb and voting undeserving players in, which has occurred ever since fan voting began.
Yao Ming es, he is PF...he has a post up game and a nice fadeaway midrange.
And Dirk is #2 right now, and a lock for the HOF regardless if he wins a ring.
