Dirk Passes Duncan for career points....

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The OP posted career points...

It's obvious what the OP meant and what statistical category he was referring to. If the NBA were to end right now, the record books would show that Dirk is ahead of Tim Duncan in "career points". No one is saying Dirk > Tim Duncan so there was really no need for Spurfan to bricks and scream about 4 rings ( got), however BullsDynasty is probably someone's troll and the thread was made to get a reaction out of Spurfan. It did just that.

jj hickson is assuredly dok

I never post again if someone proves it is me. You never post again if it's proven JJ Hickson isn't my troll. Deal?

I didn't bricks nor throw around the 4 rings ( got), and I won't either.
I really don't have a problem with Dirk passing Duncan at all, because no matter how you count em, it's going to happen being that Dirk is the better shooter.
I'm actually pretty bored.. no game til tomorrow.

oh please ... son the majority of free throws from ALL STAR PLAYERS are bogus/bull freebie points. not ALL of the free throws, but definitely most of them. the league wants to help inflate their points per game numbers to make them look more impressive.

take Kobe for example. lets say he has one of his typical 9 for 25 shooting nights with say 23 points ... sure those are decent numbers, but he is a star player and will get "extra" help. the league will make sure he gets put at the line for AT LEAST 10 free throws whenever he is shooting poorly to help boost his points up. in that example, 33 points (10 thanks to free throws) looks a lot better than just 23 points off of 9 of 25 shooting.

You do know ur little whiny franchise player CPee3, huh?

Dirk was allready good before all that handchecking crap and "u cant touch someone driving anymore".

Paul is a product of the new . Put him in the league 15 years ago and his impact and numbers would be cut in half.

lol thanks son. you basically just proved my point. as I said above ALL STAR PLAYERS get tons of bull calls. Paul gets them too, I'm not blind ... he learned from the best at drawing bull fouls. Dirk is one of the top guys in NBA history responsible for creating all of these bogus fouls and flopping.

sons and I'm sure 60-70% of those points came from the free throw line. gotta love how the refs and NBA have helped their "great white hype" over the years.

You are really the only person I have ever met dumb enough to imply that the NBA wants Dirk to be the face of the league. Or even anything close to that. Dirk has to absolutely explode to get any time on ESPN. Last night after his buzzer beater (not a ft) the head line on ESPN was Brandon Jennings follows up 55 point performance with 25 pts in OT loss to Mavs.

The league is more concerned with helping the more exicting starts Like lebron Wade and Paul than it is Dirk.

And Dirk earns all his fts. You would know this if you actually watched games instead of painting yourself black and beating off to your reflection.

You must be pretty dumb

You mean the great white hope right?

its actually around 23-25%. a rediculous number for a guy who goes to the hole once a game on a good day.

dirk is a point guard
duncan is a power forward of course he's gonna have more points non-issue

My point still stands - one have to earn superstar status!

Once again - Dirk is one of the beast in the league and deserves respect!
Same stands for all top players, and I don't have to like Kobe, for instance, but, damn, he deserves respect for his effort on the court.

Duncan has played 100 games more than Dirk (playoffs?).

regular season games duncan/ nowitzki (points)
905 (19 341)/850 (19 373)

play-off games duncan/ nowitzki
160 (3 724)/ 97 (2 472)

total duncan/ nowitzski
1065 (23 065)/ 943 (21 845)

dirk came into the league 1 year after duncan, therefore he has fewer regular season games. the gap would be a bit bigger if not for dirks durability and duncans health issues/ pop's coaching (sit TD on B2B).

play-off games need no explanaition.

Actually not really. He's one of the few players that absolutely has to be crowded for someone to defend his shot. Most do not. Timmah for a long time did also as he would pull his arms up through the defense for a foul shot, not so much anymore.

I agree with the colored guy....LOL @ the great white hype

Duncan's still up 4 to 0 where it really counts

4:1

[sefant77]

I wonder often how the past 12 years would have been if a team would have been able to get Duncan at #1 and steal Dirk the next year at #9.

Two down to earth superstars, no Kobe/Shaq style beef, perfect frontcourt-combo...

You add a slasher, 2 great shooters that are nice/good defenders and a solid bench...

After last game, again: !!!
