Are trolls supposed to vote in this poll
Who would you rather have in your team for the next season: Kevin Garnett or Dirk Nowitzki?
these polls are BS if the trolls vote. stop wasting ur time
I expect even more trolls on this one.
Would have voted for KG up until maybe even before last season.
Right now, I'd go with Dirk. Douchbaggery has diminished KG's skills. Chihuahua bark.
The results may be BS but the the discussion is OK.
The game of basketball is still played on two ends of the court. Therefore, KG is still better than Dirk.
KG great defensive player - above average offensive player
Dirk great offensive player - below average defensive player
Garnett is better.
Dirk's D is underrated, he is a decent defender (except last year)
Dirk's offense >> KG's
so i'll go with dirk.
KG is no longer an "above average" offensive player, all he does is shoot mid range jumpers these days.
i'll go with garnett since he is the better defender.
Agreed. KG is still pretty monstrous on both ends of the court. Dirk has become a great positional defender, which is part of the reason he snares lots of rebounds, but the rest of his defense is subpar at best. He isn't going to block many shots, get many steals, or take many charges, though he dabbles a little in each.
KG, on the other hand, affects the game defensively so much more than Dirk. I remember some idiotic mavfan (mono) saying if you switched Dirk with KG or Pau in 08, Boston would have swept the Lakers and vice versa
the first troll arrives.
Dirk - below average defensive player ROFL Dirk has never locked up any great scorer at low post, but he hasn't ever gotten blown up either. For the furthest I can concede, Dirk is slightly above average in defensive play in today's NBA league.
All I know is:
Boston with KG= NBA champions
Boston without KG= 2nd round exit
Wow, that doesn't explain Dirk to a T or anything.
KG with pierce and allen= nba champions
Dirk with josh howard and terry = finals
So we can't really judge.
Are we talking about intensity or Bball?
Very close, but I will go with Dirk.
Dallas with Dirk= 2nd round exit
Dallas w/o Dirk= one of, if not the worst team in the league
And the fact Boston was a game away from the ECF shows how overrated KG is.
you mean a bias against Manu?
That 2007 le run we made more than made up for one of the worst officiated series of all time (worse than Miami the same year - mavfans are es to whine about 06 all the time)
