Dirk has been a good rebounder for a while, but his defense has improved. He now spends a little bit of time trying to block shots instead of hacking at dribblers.

I voted for Dirk based on last season. Obviously, if you look at career accomplishments, there is no comparison. Tim would be the easy choice.

But, I think that Dirk has improved enough on defense and is so good at the offensive end, that he has become a true superstar. I think he's a top 5 player in the league. And, he not only had a better regular season than Duncan, but his team beat Tim's team in the playoffs.

Also, people like to break things down and say Tim plays both sides of the ball and that gives him the edge. I don't just break down the game into offense and defense. Dirk also plays the transition game as well as any big man in the game. He will haul the rebound and run the point, pushing the ball, and may even go coast to coast. That is an area no other big man does as well as Dirk in. Now, guys like Duncan and Garnett are capable of doing it, but Dirk does it regularly. And, if Tim is still so great on defense, how come he doesn't defend Dirk that much when the teams match-up? Having Bowen or not, Duncan should be the one who tries to stop Dirk.

Duncan is still one of the best in the league. But, I think Dirk had a better year last season, and he beat Tim in the playoffs.

Right now, I take Dirk.
