Dirk's D is mediocre a lot of the time, but when he tries to play defense, he can actually be quite solid. Proof that defense is mostly a matter of effort and energy, not a skill.
Skills and effort are very different things.
crofl the guy who makes KG sound like Horace Grant just called someone an idiot.

KG, they guy who always passed and was afraid to make a clutch play with the game on the line for his entire career? Yeah he was better. Bwhahahahahaha!
I don't think Dirk's defensive problems are a case of lack of effort, he isn't a lazy player imo, I think his defensive impact would be much bigger with the same effort he's putting right now but with better lateral movement and jumping ability.
I've never seem a simpler, more ignorant explanation of playing defense in the NBA. You basically said "you just have to play hard". Like Garnett just plays harder than Dirk sometimes. That's the only difference.
LOL yall most be bored Kobe and KG are not even in the same league ...
Dirk and KG is closer but Offensively Dirk is better ...defense KG
But even though dirk has put up the better numbers ...
KG is a better offensive player than dirk is a defender
IMHO opinion KG>Dirk both in prime ...BUT KG is fading fast ...
Sure, there is some defensive IQ involved and such, but that isn't what Dirk's defensive issues revolves around, as he usually tends to be in good defensive position, he just doesnt attempt to contest shots very well. That's almost entirely a matter of laziness.
KG took a wolves team to the conf finals. Kobe took a ty LA team to the lottery.

link?BadOdor thought about suicide. Way to lose cool points
Look man, staying in front of or with a guy is most definitely a skill. You need lateral quickness. Its analogous to playing cornerback in the NFL. Are you going to say Darell Revis isn't skilled? And that all he has to is run hard and follow people around? most corners run hard but can't stay with wide receivers and tons of sfs play hard on defense and they aren't Scottie Pippen.
sons, kg>dirk. With all due respect to dirk, the edge he has on kg in scoring is more than made up for with kg's passing, defense and rebounding.
KG averaged 23 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks in his prime, kobe averaged 35 5 and 5. both made the playoffs and lost. who cares
kg stomps dirk's ass you meowing sissy cuckolds known as mav fans. We're not talking statpadding here we talking about impact on the game including the mental facet (see 2008 mavfan to understand wtf this means)
Do you think a team with kg lets dwade all over them?
Do you remember the impact kg had in his prime?
Do you remember that when kobe put up huge ppg the lakers were and he dragged the team down due to overdomination of the ball?
Do you understand what a prime shaq and a prime kg do to the league?
Damn man, this kind of idiocy is too blatant to be true even for a fat mav fan so in the spirit of cherishing such accomplished minds let me add: here's to mavs first le next year with lebron dirk dwade on da krew:
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEE!!!
including choking what should have been 3-0 leads in the finals .. shall i call it double choking?
Says the guy who argues constantly with stats and say such things as work ethic, hustle, determination, and leadership are overrated.
@ +/-
friggen moron
Ummm KG also took a Wolves team to three consecutive lottery seasons...
Yet somehow, every time prime Garnett went up against prime Dirk, Dirk has curmbstomped him. And I'm not talking just wins/losses, I'm talking the two of them going head to head and Dirk giving KG a golden shower damn near every time.
Historically Dirk has owned KG almost as hard as he's owned Gasol.
Not saying Dirk > KG overall, historically Amare Stoudemire has owned Dirk. Just saying, KG gets ed on by Dirk regularly, and it's been like that for a decade now.
what years are prime KG and Prime Kobe?
If I consider Prime Garnett 2002-2005 and Kobe from 2005-2008, would that be fair to everyone?
IMO as individual players Kobe's prime was 2006-2008 and KG's prime was 2003-2005.
Wow, Stretch. The worst arguments ever.
well if you do that, then it'll be hands down Kobe, so to make the Kobe haters happy, you should probably change it.
How would it be hands down Kobe? I would like to hear your argument.
And on another note...I hate the argument that KG had no supporting cast in Minny as a defense for their playoff suckitude. He had Marbury for two years when Marbury averaged 18/9. He had Terrell Brandon for four years averaging around 16/8, etc.
lol garnett.
Kobe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>KG
