sons IF Mavs win le this year Dirk will surpass Duncan as best PF of last 15 years

[BRHornet45]

now sons I'm not a fan of either of the two so I have absolutely no reason to lean one way or the other. I also have never bought into the hype of either of them being considered the "greatest power forward of all time". With that said they both are clearly two of the best power forwards that the NBA has seen over the last 15-20 years and that is a fact that simply cannot be argued against. However IF the Dallas Mavericks win the NBA championship this season then Dirk will surpass Duncan and here are the reasons why ...
Both of them are relatively close when it comes to personal statistics, but Duncan has been tremendously blessed from the day he came into the NBA to be on defensively stacked teams and coached by arguably one of the greatest coaches of all time. Dirk had to truly earn his way with far less talent around him and for a long time had to deal with Avery ing Johnson. Now this is not meant to be a knock to Duncan as if he never had to do anything for the team to be successful, but Duncan was always more of a "product of a system" and the best player on the best team at the time than he was a superstar player. Dirk on the other hand could put his team on his back and single handedly take over games.

- Dirk can take over games, Duncan never could

- Duncan is the far better rebounder, Dirk's rebounding is only average considering his size

- Dirk is the far better scorer, Duncan hasn't been a scoring threat in years

- Both are relatively even on defense, Duncan's defense has always been overrated

- Dirk is a more accurate shooter from all over the court, Duncan has a better post game

- Dirk is the better performer in the playoffs

- Dirk has had to carry the Mavs most of his career, Duncan has always had solid teams


Now sons usually I think that the "rings" argument is lame, but in this particular case I do believe that in order for Dirk to surpass Duncan that he will have to win one before its all said and done. As for now Duncan is still on top over Dirk simply because of his past success, but that could change if the Mavericks pull it off this season.

Dirk>Tired old bag.

Preach the truth brother!

[Proxy]

God, you are a dumbass

[BRHornet45]

God, you are a dumbass

son would you like to look over the stats and the facts and then come back and make an argument?

[DPG21920]

Duncan this year statistically out defended, rebounded, assisted, blocked and stole Dirk

[ajballer4]

The only stat that matters is 4 rings>0 rings. Dirk is better right now, but not over the last 15 years

[Technique]

- Both are relatively even on defense, Duncan's defense has always been overrated

Fail troll is fail.

[ajballer4]

Edit: Even if Dirk gets the one, it still fails in comparison

[Greg Oden]

Duncan this year statistically out defended, rebounded, assisted, blocked and stole Dirk

yet he's at home watching Dirk on tv.

[crc21209]

This ....

[lefty]

lol Dirk would have ONE ring

Duncan has what? 4



Oh and he is the last player to win both MVP and NBA le in the same year




BRhornet = fail, sons

[crc21209]

yet he's at home watching Dirk on tv.

With 4 LOB trophies, 2 NBA MVP's, and 3 Finals MVP's by his side....

lol come on son ... you sound like an ignorant Laker fan now

Horry 7

Jordan 6

[BanditHiro]

knock off that 1 from the 15 years and maybe you would have a point

[Greg Oden]

With 4 LOB trophies, 2 NBA MVP's, and 3 Finals MVP's by his side....

why is your name bolded?

[lefty]

Speaking of PF's




CROFL David West


Fake tough shooting guard

[crc21209]

lol come on son ... you sound like an ignorant Laker fan now

Horry 7

Jordan 6

Yeah but Horry won basically all his rings as a role-player while Jordan won them as the main #1 option on his teams....

[crc21209]

why is your name bolded?

Don't hate kid....

[BRHornet45]

Yeah but Horry won basically all his rings as a role-player while Jordan won them as the main #1 option on his teams....

and Duncan was nothing more than a role player in 2007 as well. Duncan also (as mentioned above) has played on stacked teams his entire career.

[DPG21920]

yet he's at home watching Dirk on tv.

And? The question was from BR to look at stats.

Do you think Dirk>Duncan in the context BR laid out?

I'm almost certain your moms had some sort of STD when you were born...there's no other way to account for your lack of brain development.

Why do you keep on claiming to be everyone's father?
