Here's a little history lesson for some of you Mavs fans who were too young to see a PRIME DRob before the back injuries in '96 made him a s of his former self.
Jan of 1992 vs a prime Jordan led Bulls team in the middle of their 1st 3-peat.
Watch how FIVE-OH put his defensive mark on the Bulls with 3 blocks and a steal where he OUTRUNS MJ for a breakaway dunk, all in the first four minutes of the game.
Dude finished this game with 8 blocks (2 of them were on Jordan DUNK attempts), 3 steals, 13 rebounds (5 offensive) and 21 points. And yes, the Spurs won the game against the champs 109-104.

Dirk hid behind Chandler's skirts. The fact is, he is a one way player, and Robinson was a force both ways. His scoring le and DPOY s on anything Dirk did in his offense only career.
since when is a scoring le or dpoy thought of as more important than a Finals MVP?
Tony Parker was a Finals MVP. So was Billups. Does that make either of them better than a guy like Scottie Pippen or Clyde Drexler who never won a Finals MVP, yet have championship rings?
That didn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.
Welcome to the domain of Cornbread Maxwell of the Celtics. Don't remember him? Neither does anyone else.![]()
trying to spin an argument so it fits yours. In no world is a scoring le or dpoy more prestigious than a Finals MVP
hey Dunc N Dave, I know you're trying really hard but you still haven't answered the question.
Tony Parker was a Finals MVP. So was Billups. Does that make either of them better than a guy like Scottie Pippen or Clyde Drexler who never won a Finals MVP, yet have championship rings?
Ditto....
Why would I answer your re ed question you're trying to spin in order for it to fit dumbass spurfan's m.o. when you still can't answer my question?
u answer mine and I'll answer yours. It's a 2 way street, ya see....
u first....
You're right. It's Robinson, the two way player. Dirk could never have taken some of the teams that David did to the playoffs. Negele Knight? Corey Alexander? Sweet Pea? Every player on his teams from 89 up to 97, other than Sean Elliott and a few years of Terry mings and Dennis Rodman was a nobody or a has been.
Dirk made his teammates better than Robinson made his
PERIOD
this "two way player" argument
Scottie Pippen > Larry Bird
6 rings as the sidekick > 3 rings as the #1 option, and Bird was a 1 way player who was only better at scoring.
Not that I have to explain myself to trolls, but hey, at least Axe never fails to entertain.
Lincoln is rubbish, and gives the MK a bad name. Just saying. tbqh.
everyone else is at least decent at getting laughs, and provoking anger.
& Lincoln, I still stand by what I said, I'll bulldoze through you to the rim every time, all day. & if you never heard of a big guy being an athlete, than you're probably just a scrawny little keyboard thug who couldn't throw hands for .
lol "bulldoze you to the rim"
lol fat bulldozer
lol "big guy"
lol code for fat
stop kidding yourself, you're on the construction company softball team. you ain't no athlete.
So....
Dirk was the better scorer
Dirk makes the players around him better than Robinson did.
Dirk was the better clutch player
Robinson was the better defender
Robinson was the better rebounder.
This is more of a debate than some think.
Statments likeare foolish.Robinson was a better player than Dirk. No dispute.
to even it up to 3-3, you could add that Robinson was a way better stat padder too.
And if you want to use the argument a certain suicidal meth head used, "David Robinson's math SAT score was really high
!"
Also, Dirk had more longevity. Hes put up 20+ for like 11 years now with many more to come. And then theres Robinson...
7 year prime
Of course Spurfan brings up a mysterious "back injury" as why his prime was so short.
