Would it be that Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki are two of the greatest PFs in the modern era?
there ain't no doubt about it tbh. it's solid truth like "water is wet" or "every is evil & re ed", but not all spurs fans will agree on it imho. they don't believe duncan would've achieved more successes w/ dirk being the #2 banana in place of manu because they think manu > dirk.
the manu > dirk thing is nuts, and all based on hypotheticals. like, "if manu left for another team during his prime he'd be the NBA's leading scorer and mvp candidate." a lot of ifs, without realizing manu was a second/third banana (and a in fantastic one at that) for the spurs during their le runs, while Dirk has put the Mavs on his back and has made them consistent contenders throughout his reign.
i think they're all blinded by Manu's moments of brilliance when he goes full super saiyan. tbh, super saiyan manu > tim lol, but it was never sustained.
I've usually been a KG>Dirk guy, and most people were until 2011 when Dirk went God mode during the playoff/ le run. I mean Dirk was always a solid playoff guy, but never at that level. It also helps that KG's decline is much more noticeable than Dirks. Those 3 guys probably made the 2000's the golden decade of power forward play. the 90's had Chuck and Malone, but I think this trio crushes them all. What I love about the Timmy-Dirk thing is the mutual respect they have. Rivalry, but no bad blood between them.
No way, Dirk is way better than Manu. With a lineup of Parker/(any SG)/Bowen/Dirk/Duncan, we would have 5-peated in 2003-07.
mavfans would agree that duncan is better than dirk
Mavs fans should agree that 4>1
Duncan > Dirk
but then again, spurs and their fans can't make up their mind whether timmy is a PF or a C. Basically they wanna cry like es for him to be a PF or a C depending on what would give him the best chance to start in the all-star game or be on the best all-NBA teams
Almost everyone agrees he's been a center since rasho and Mohammed left following the 2006 season.
Duncan>Garnett>Dirk
Then why do all spurfans adamantly claim he is the greatest PF of all time?
it doesn't matter that Tim handles the opening tip off, leads the team in blocked shots or stands in the center.
6'7" DeJuan Blair was the starting centerPERIOD
It's not just Spur fans but yeah, he'll end up playing his 7th season as a center this year versus his first 8 as a pf. And will end his career with more seasons as a center than pf
For 3/4 of this season he's been starting at PF with Splitter at C. Just sayin.
Garnett?
In his prime, healthy, he didn't even get selected to an all-NBA team in 2006. I'm sorry, but how can you be an all-time great anything if you can't even get selected to the all-NBA third team in your prime? And his biggest perceived strength is his defense. Is his biggest perceived strength so easily nullified that Dirk can put up 33.3/15.7 against him in a playoff sweep?
Duncan >> Dirk/Barkley/Malone > Pet . KG/McHale/Hayes/Webber are 6-9 somewhere.
He usually guards the centers and splitter guards the pfs especially any mobile fours. The centers almost always guard him
lol the idiot who mention garnett
Pau - 2
Dirk -1
That's true, but Pau also had a much better supporting cast than Dirk did during those years
couldnt win a game in da POs be4 LA
Boiled down, mother er:
Dirk - 4
Pau - 0
And since it's happened more than once, I'll list it again for you:
Dirk - 4
Pau - 0
Let us proceed...
Actually for the early-mid 2000s it was TD and KG in a league of their own. Third was actually Webber before his knees went to . People either forget or conveniently overlook this, or maybe are just blinded by Dirks run in 2011. But prior to when he rang Dirk and the Mavs were seen as soft chokers, and rightfully so (Big Daddy Tyson himself actually said this about them Mavs)...KG>Dirk easily.
no one gives a about the opinion of a got who got kicked out of UTSA for grades
Garnett?
In his prime, healthy, he didn't even get selected to an all-NBA team in 2006. I'm sorry, but how can you be an all-time great anything if you can't even get selected to the all-NBA third team in your prime? And his biggest perceived strength is his defense. Is his biggest perceived strength so easily nullified that Dirk can put up 33.3/15.7 against him in a playoff sweep?
Duncan >> Dirk/Barkley/Malone > Pet . KG/McHale/Hayes/Webber are 6-9 somewhere.but Garnett's supporting cast is the problem. So bad he could only lead his team to 32 and 33 wins back to back years. He had like Mike James surrounding him. And now past his prime Dirk has a quality supporting cast with decent players like Mike James surrounding him and he's only going to lead them to a .500 record
so clearly Garnett rules!
How did a prime KG defensive beast get ing raped by dirk head to head?
Leave it to mavfan to compare KGs casts in Minny to what Dirk has had in Dallas, even what Dirk has this year is better than what KG ever had other than '04. ing homers.
Instead of just comparing one similar player why dont you post the entire rosters ?
