Dirk just supporting a player of his generation tbh.
So you don’t buy the idea that Kobe and other stars are playing hero ball there at the end of games? That they are taking really bad shots with two or three guys guarding them?
Yeah, sometimes it's a thin line. You need a mixture [of plays] to find the open guy, but some nights you just gotta take the team home.
Kobe’s footwork in the post is obviously legendary.
Oh yeah. The athleticism, the balance in the air, the lefty shots. He made a 3 on us one year in the corner. The shot clock was winding down, and he had to spin around and just shoot it lefty. To me, he's the no. 1 player over the 15 years I've been in this league.
No. 1 over Tim Duncan?
Duncan to me is obviously so solid, but to watch him play …
Oh, you mean, just in terms of style.
Yeah. Duncan is probably the best power forward ever to play this game.
You don’t feel like you have a place in that discussion?
Oh, no, no. I'm not. He's got four rings.

Not sure, he was always eclipsed by someone, Shaq, Duncan, LeBron, but its true he maintained a first team NBA level during very long period of time.
ful take by Dirk, tbh... LBJ is the best player of the past 15 years....
He's saying Kobe has more style, which is what people want to watch. Fair enough comment.
I've got a lot of time for Dirk. Glad he got a ring with the Mavs
LBJ is the mosted talented, but theirs a difference in most talented and best player. LBJ's career is not over, so this can change.
Cherry-picking quotes.
Dirk said Kobe was the best in terms of style of play. Read the article...
humble guy! dirk = class
Even tier take, tbh.... Kirby's inefficient, selfish style of play pales in comparison to Timmy or the Kang... give me efficiency and basketball IQ any day over throwing feces at the rim and relying on bigs and ref bailouts...
Lol @ these noobs hateing on Kobe.
I agree with Dirk. We all know MJ is the best of all time, and his style changed the NBA game forever. Kobe imitated that style down to a T, like how he quoted Kill Bill and gave himself a "new" nickname straight out of the movie. The only difference is that Kobe had that re ed hiss instead of a cool tongue-wag that Jordan does, and that knocked Kobe down a notch, or else he would been tied with MJ as the GOAT in playing style.
Just watch that jumper with 3 defenders in his face, doesn't matter if he hits or not, the important thing is that it looks goooooood.
Your the noob if you think Kobe is the best in the last 15 over TD!
#1 style or #1 basketball player?
Grantland link writer and Dirk going for the former imo.
dirk droppin truth bombs
Kobe is the #1 for style, that tells a lot about his basketball skills tbh.
Kobe's got style:
And given Dirk's taste in women, we all know he knows style when he sees it.
Butthurt in this thread is strong
Kobe is better than Lebron. Nothing wrong with that.
Dirk's new wife is hotter than probably anything 99.9% of the posters on here have ever gotten close to being with ... I cant speak for the mud-duck he had before ... But this time Dirk did himself right. I have seen her in person here in DFW she is "L.A. hot" not local girl hot ...Kobe's got style:
And given Dirk's taste in women, we all know he knows style when he sees it.
lol "kobedwight" calling other people noobs.
Not sure why people get so upset when other players or coaches acknowledge how good Kobe has been over the years. People get so mad and try to twist it any way they can. Even years ago when Pop and Duncan called Kobe the best player on the planet, people were arguing that they were just saying that to play mind games or somehow that's not what they really meant. It's astonishing why it makes people so butthurt. Whether or not Kobe has been the best player in the league over a decade or 15 years or whatever, it doesn't really matter. It's just Dirk's opinion. People get so bent over an opinion that they have to qualify it or try to spin it any way they can to discredit the opinion. I guess that's how it's always going to be. Hate is hate is hate.
Sour grapes from Dirk, tbh.
It probably has something to do with Kobe being a little .
Guys, read the article, Dirk didn't say Kobe was the best player in the last 15 years. Read it.
