Dirk can always be subs uted for a great defensive player

Not one F'n win. Not one...

Well yeah, if I'm trying to win basketball games and I already have 4 superstar offensive players, ofcourse I'm taking Rodman. Too bad most NBA teams don't even have 1 superstar.

Let's say you have a 4 man team of superstars and that 5th player is a toss-up between Dennis Rodman and Dirk Novitski who do you choose?

Well I pick Rodman it's a no brainer folks....My point is that Defense ultimately wins out and because of it that leaves Dirk expendable in almost any scenario...Therefore Dirk's all-time value can even be questioned and moved down accordingly.... ( sorry Tyson and 41 I do appreciate Dirk for beating Lebron though)

Here' are some 4 man permutations for reference:

Kareem
Kobe
MJ
Magic

Bird
Magic
MJ
Wilt


Shaq
MJ
Kobe
Robertson

Russell
Bird
Magic
Kobe

etc etc....Dirk is never needed...tbh

Yeah, this makes great sense, because on each of these teams, with the exception of Russell, every single player is an offensive machine, and most if not all of them, at their best, are better than Dirk. This is stupid as .
