Everyone thought Dirk was a black dude who served in the Navy?
Lucky for him Tim Duncan came along.

Did Dirk start preaching to the Jet or something?
Everyone thought Dirk was a dominant defensive player who doesn't have a supporting cast?
Everyone thought Dirk did a handstand walk the full length of the court?
more like a soft choker
the difference was that Dirk shed that false label by kicking ass once he actually got some decent role players
Robinson needed to be bailed out by a superior player Timmy
considering the weird stuff that Holger makes Dirk do in his training regimen, I wouldnt be shocked at all if Dirk has done this. I know I've heard handstands are a big part of his routine.
Contradicting statements.
not going to argue with you because this is just going to somehow turn into you crying about how much you hate kobe
Dirk was where Robinson was: Viewed as soft. Whether rightfully so or not, can't say. Didn't see enough of David to make that assessment.
I would have liked to have seen David play under Rick Carlisle. I think he could have handled Dennis Rodman... At least for a couple seasons...
Dirk's a great player, however, other than his ability to shoot the long ball he has nothing on Robinson.
Dirk was of two players in NBA history to lead the league in scoring, rebounding, and blocked shots for a season during his career?
Or one of two players in NBA history to win ROY, DPOY, and MVP during his career?
Or the only player in NBA history to do all of these?
Except for taking a team to a ring as the undisputed #1 option.
I don't want to insult Dirk, because he is a fantastic player, and a humble guy.
But when you look at all of Robinson's accolades, winning a ring as a #1 option really pales in comparison.
What kind of juxtaposition is this anyways?
what accolades? He is a 1x MVP and is a 10x all star. Dirk is a 1x MVP and 10x all star.
Being a bible thumping Navy brat isn't a basketball accolade.
ROY, DPOY, and MVP, & not one ring, but two.
Dirk also has an MVP. Winning ROY does nothing to determine who the better player was. The 2 rings, got comment was maybe the funniest part tho. Two rings as a role player aren't as impressive as one ring as a #1 option.
In 99' Duncan and Robinson had equal effect on steamrolling through the playoffs. In 03' Duncan was the 1st option, but Robinson contributed in every way possible, plus his defensive abilities tower over Dirks. Not to mention that Robinson retired a champion.
Duncan was the 1st option in '99 and Robinson was his sidekick. You're revising history saying otherwise.
'95 Olajuwon's at how much Spurfan raves about David "The tinman" Robinson's defense.
He'd accept the fact he can't defend the dream as the true teammate he is. Robinson was more concerned with Rodman's lack of faith in Jeebus than he was beating the Rockets, and Rodman was having none of it.
Dirk was the last player in NBA history to log a quadruple double?
