The guy that made a huge impact on both sides of the court tbh.
Who is the best second best PF of the decade? I suppose an argument could be made for Pau, but I just don't see him getting the type of support these two have.
So who is it? Dirk or KG? Big Ticket vs. Dirk Diggler. That incredible 11' finals performance or the clutch performance KG had when they beat LA for the le?
The guy that made a huge impact on both sides of the court tbh.
The guy that carried an entire in franchise on his shoulders for 15 years, and brought home an NBA championship.
lol on his shoulders
James Terry, Ason Kidd, Shawn Stevenson and Ty Chandler, wow you can compare that supporting cast to the 08 Celtics.
2-7 without Dirk that year
Canadian PG and JerMichael Finley as his 2nd and 3rd fiddles earlier in his career
How about KGs supporting casts in Minny? Care to go over the rosters and payroll so we can see why he never made it past the WCF ?
his best team every on minnesota was with sprewell and cassell tbh. not a very impressive bunch. and anthony peeler was their "perimeter stopper"
oh and they had the alien looking center. ervin johnson
And who did Dirk have in 06? Terry, Howard and Stackhouse?
And unsurprisingly enough he got out of the first round and made the WCF. Cassell was injured during that run too, he was playing PG at times in those WCF. Oh and how about Trenton Hassell? I remember when people used to call him Minny's Bowen.his best team every on minnesota was with sprewell and cassell tbh. not a very impressive bunch. and anthony peeler was their "perimeter stopper"
oh and they had the alien looking center. ervin johnson
DAIRK!!!!!!!!!
Didn't Dirk have Nash, Finley, and Jamison? while Findog and Jamison were playing at their best?
Supporting casts that were ty as a direct result of KG's contract.
game 7 vs Kings
Yeah, he had pre-MVP Nash, past-prime Finley and choker Jamison who was there for 1 year.
Dirk: 13
KG: 2
playoff series won as the Alpha
I know some people like to nut hug on KG because of his defense and rebounding but I'd go with Dirk because in 2011 he finally proved that he had the killer instinct. Dirk didn't leave the Western Conference to go chase a ring in the ty Eastern Conference.
Sure, but that wouldnt have mattered if he had Cubes as his owner tbh.
I do side with Dirk, slightly, and primarily because of the '11 run. KG never did anything remotely close to that. For that playoff run, Dirk was the best player in the league. KG never had a playoff run where he was the best player in the NBA.
Dirk carried the Mavs in 2011. I know he had a ty game 6 in the Finals but if he hadn't have gone off in games 2, 4, and 5 the Mavs would have been ed. I know people hate this cliché or saying but Dirk wanted the ring more than Lehairline in 2011.
If we're talking peak performances thenn yeah Dirks 2011 wins. The question was for the decade though.
that's even more lopsided for Dirk if we're talking decade-wise. He was the better player by 05 and eventually surpassed any accomplishments KG ever made.
Dirk easily. Just watch Dirk's 2011 playoff run and there's no ing way KG could've topped that.
high comedy, I love Pau and in a va you could argue he was better triangle fit and the best pure post player not named Tim of his era ....but LOL, ROFL etc. On him being anywhere as good as either KG or Dirk.
Both KG and dirk made WCF as the alpha male of their teams. Pau was getting swept prior to being a #2 option on LaLa land.
Dirk's 2011 is more impressive than what KG or Pau has EVER produced. But when you factor both ends I would say:
1. KG
2. Dirk
3. Pau
