[Dr Cox]

Wouldn't really expect a wizard fan to know that much about defense or basketball in general for that matter

so if you like th wizards you dont know about defense or basketball in general?

[Bob Lanier]

1. Duncan
2. Kevin Garnett
3. Dwight Howard
4. kendrik perkins
5. Nene
6. Marcus Camby
7. Rasheed Wallace
8. Marcin Gortat
9. Birdman

19. joel przybilla
20. Lamar Odom
21. Chris Bosh
22. Michael Beasley
23. Pau Gasol
24. Emeka Okafor
25. Jason Maxiell

No to the bolded.

I'd add Brendan Haywood, Joakim Noah, Jeff Foster, Reggie Evans, and Elton Brand to partially replace them.

And right at this moment I'd say Duncan, Garnett, Howard, Perkins, Gasol, Okafor, and Haywood are definitely better than he is, not just arguably.

Fail...what a bunch of dummy Spurs fans. Gonna love watching you fools cry again if they face the Mavs in the playoffs

You mad?

[IronMexican]

I lol at anyone who put Micheal Beasley. That guy puts a frontline of Al Jefferson and Amare Stoudamire to shame.

So I think we have a consensus here ... with 50+ names surfacing in this thread, it is established beyond doubt that Dirk is a defensive liability and will never win a ring unless he joins the Spurs

[spursfan1000]

Why do Mavs fans get too offensive, it's not like they are Dirk Nowitzki.

Dice was a lousy defender in Detroit from 2005-06 on.

I guess that will change when he comes to SA.

Kwame Brown, no joke.

Dirk is obscenely spoiled by us Mavs fans, actually you can list over 250 names who are considered better defensively than Dirk, even including those that have never achieved a birth for NBA league. Here we go, Ntikoudis, Bourousis, Khryapa, Siskauskas, etc...

[cobbler]

Wilt.

Yes he's dead... still better.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Too lazy to read the whole tread but I will add Darko and Kwame Brown to the list.

[Rogue]

Wilt.

Yes he's dead... still better.

Even Patrick Ewing's grandson is better than Dirk, though he hasn't been born yet.

[BlackBellamy]

It seems that alot of German people just naturally are better at creating offense than defending. Germany in the 20th century is a testament to such. It's not Dirk's fault on D, it's the sauerkraut in his blood.

Please.

The German soldier has never been equaled...either side of the equation.

[BlackBellamy]

Please.

Hey, no knock to the Germans. But the losses in two world wars and then this whole Dirk debacle? The evidence is incontrovertible towards their people's general "Lack of D", as I believe a certain Sir Winston Churchill put it.

[rAm]

Wilt.

Yes he's dead... still better.

[j-money24]

Shaq
Chris Bosh
Josh Smith
Paul Millsap
Michael Beasley
Pau Gasol
Emeka Okafor
Chris Kaman

Dude Bynum can't play defense without fouling.
