There is no question Dirk is better, he lead his team to the finals and has won an MVP. But as someone else stated I think Pau is a better fit for the Lakers then Dirk.
I voted Dirk.
Pau is going to have to lead the Lakers to the NBA finals without Kobe Bryant. Dirk helped lead the Mavericks to the NBA finals in 2006 and had no Kobe Bryant.

If Dirk played with Kobe he would be the second coming of God. Until Pau went to LA everyone use to on him and now bc he plays in LA he has become one of the most overrated players in the league
The answer is obviously Dirk.
Dirk. Gasol is a very very good player, Dirk is a great player.
I say Dirk, but Pau's stock has gone up tremendously in the past 2 seasons. The gap isnt as wide as it used to be.
Dirk carried his team to NBA finals as the leader of his team, while also as the No.1 guy, the furthest Pau carried the Grizzlies to was just the first round sweep.
Dirk.
But I voted Gasol cause he's a Laker.
And because Pau is a way cooler name than Dirk
What's funny is those same Laker fans will try to make Gasol look as ty as possible in the next Kobe vs. Lebron argument they have.
The day Pau Gasol makes the finals with a supporting cast similar to that of the one Dirk had, and doesn't choke, then what you just posted would be relevant to this thread.
You didn't watch that series. You're also a lame troll, so you're now going on my ignore list. Ignore list is for lame posters with terrible takes. You're in good company now with Basketballgirl25 and mavsfan1000.
Gasol certainly has parts of his game that are better than Dirk, but Dirk is better.
Based on individual talent, Dirk for sure. But if Dirk was on the lakers, I dont think they would have the same success because Pau is a much better post player.
Dirk can't win period. Will retire ringless.
1st seed that almost won 70 games ting the bed against the 8 seed will be Dirk's legacy.
The best foreign player of all-time will be Dirk's legacy. Losing to the Nuggets isn't Payton or Kemp's legacy.
Wake me up when Pau gets to the Finals as a #1 guy. , wake me up when Pau whens a single friggin playoff game as a #1 guy. They met once in the playoffs, and Dirk curbstomped him. Dirk has won 9 series as a #1 guy. Pau has won 0 games as a #1 guy.
Please, they probably have the same results if Dirk is in place of Pau... loss to Celtics in '08 finals, '09 NBA champs.
Dirk's inferior versatility regarding ability to play FC would probably mandate more minutes for Bynum though... theoretically... but still.
You already went as far as to admit Dirk is better than Pau when the all-NBA teams came out.
Dirk's legacy SHOULD be a guy who won a championship without a 2nd all-NBA caliber player on the team.
As it is, he'll go down as the best foreign player of all time... probably top 5-7 PF's of all time, etc.
It's 21 Palins.
If all the fake thug ass wannabe ass hoes left the Nuggets, the only ones left would be Chauncey Billups and Anthony Carter.
Pretty much. Pau isn't close to Dirk, it's that simple. I don't know why some Laker fans won't admit this, it's as clear as day.
Dirk is better, but Gasol is arguably a top 10 player in the NBA, so its close.
