I will speculate this comment to be a "No".
I don't want to speculate. I want to speak the facts.
1. Dirk led his team to a le.
2. Robinson never did.

so stretch, who do you think is better all time, Timmy or Jellybean?
suddenly sean elliott and other spurs players suck ass
funny how spurfan loves to twist that kind of to be convenient to their arguments
when arguing for timmy > kobe, they are quick to point out that timmy had no one on par with Pau at his side
then when it comes to the greatness of the spurs, suddenly manu > kobe in spurfan eyes
give it a break, gots.
itt: 1 ring, got!
No you idiot, if you have a team thats really well balanced defensively and already has a defensive anchor like the 2011 Mavs than sure you probably pick Dirk. If its a team with no defensive anchor you take Robinson, if its a team full of players with average skillsets on both sides of the ball you take Robinson because he is elite in both those areas. Unless youre a homer mavfan of course.
do mavfans as a collective whole realize how pathetic they look trying completely throw supporting casts out the window, when prior to Dirk ringing turtle headed got being his #2 was their excuse when defending Dirk's playoff shortcomings ?
Dirk is pretty classy tbh... but DRob was the classiest of them all.
Did you all know that when a player receives the NBA's Community Assist Award, they receive the David Robinson Plaque, with the inscription "Following the standard set by NBA Legend David Robinson who improved the community piece by piece."?
DRob might have been ted on by Hakeem, bible thumped his way out of a championship and might have never won a 'ship without riding Duncan's coattails, but goddamn he's a classy guy.
One other argument to make is that DRob played in the Jordan era. Basically, a lot of good players didn't win in that time because the GOAT was just the GOAT. When Jordan temporarily retired, Hakeem just took a steamy dump over Dave and seized the moment.
Similarly, Dirk has been always pretty good, but not good enough to win in the Shaq/Duncan era. Those guys at their peak were just too dominant. Once the decline on those guys was apparent, that's where he seized the moment, and he should get all the credit for that.
its hilarious watching mavfan always uses this 'gnsf is out to get the mavs' persecution complex, that they never give dirk or the mavs their due
especially when most unbiased observers agree with the dumb, dallas hating, gnsf...that greatest pf of all time thread that had the kg/dirk argument had piston, cavs, lakers, suns, and celtic fans all rating kg higher than dirk and saw all these homer gooks get defensive about noone respecting dirk
ask the drob or dirk question to an unbiased audience and ull get similar results.

Once there was a wise man who advised the emperor on who to trust and how to make decisions:
Wise man: Your royal highness, what if someone come rushing to you and tell you there is a dragon in the middle of the city?
Emperor: I would think he is a fool, and not pay attention to him.
Wise man: Your royal highness, what if another man came in and said the exact same thing.
Emperor: I would think about it twice, but would not believe it.
Wise man: Your royal highness, what if a third person came in and repeat the same thing again?
Emperor: I would think there is some level of truth to it.
Wise man: Your royal highness, what if a fourth person did the same?
Emperor: I would believe it.
lol ambchang thinking hes clever and witty when he really is just a re ed bag of
Yes, in the post season. Robinson's efficiency dropped more, but if you're talking raw production, it's close offensively. Keep in mind, Robinson didn't have the luxury of having guys significantly smaller defending him. He also had barely half the chances Nowitzki's had as a number one option and didn't have anywhere near the talent on his team Nowitzki's had. I'm not saying Robinson didn't under perform in the playoffs as a number one option, I'm just saying, you're overstating the offensive gulf between the two and ignoring every other facet of the game.
stretch, it's not "an idea", it's a reality. You have no credibility or common sense if you're going to bring up Nowitzki averaging "10 rpg in the playoffs". He's averaged 41.3 mpg in the playoffs and according to Carlisle, he's 7-1 - 7-1 and 1/2. That's why he's averaged 10 rpg in the playoffs, not because of his rebounding a en.
It's all about rebound percent or rate. He's pulled down 14.4% of rebounds in the playoffs. To give you an idea of how terrible that is, the elite rebounders are between 17-22. And before you go pulling the "but he plays away from the basket, so obviously he doesn't get many offensive rebounds" excuse, check Ryan Anderson's offensive rebound rate.
The Spurs did not have the best team in the league when they were beaten by the 8th seed.
In fact, they had only one more win since January than Memphis. They had the best record in the West, but not the best in the league.
Also, since when did best record = best team?
Let's see... if a team beats SA, they beat the best team in the league.
If SA wins, then the team with the best record won.
Why do you have such gy takes?
Comparing Dirk and David is like comparing Barkley and Ray Allen. They don't have the same roles and you cannot compare them side by side.
As far as who belongs higher on the all time list? After 10, who gives a ?
Boiled down:::8
ing idiot, not looking at the whole picture
funny is that in his playoff career, he actually have a higher defensive rebound rate than D-Rob. i guess d-rob completely blows ass at rebounding
and there is a difference from periodically setting picks and running out for open 3s, and being a hustle guy the rest of the game, as opposed to being the #1 offensive option on your team out on the perimeter.
but it figures you are too stupid to understand the difference between those things.
