not that I really care who was better KG or Dirk (like DoK said, Prime KG or Prime Dirk could be argued for years) but it's hilarious the lengths of re you'll stoop yourself down to in order to put down Dirk

Dirk viewed as a 2nd tier PF until he won a le

making 4 All NBA first teams before last season

For the better part of the decade he was. He had the 06' and 07' seasons but other than that he wasnt in Duncans or KGs class until they got older and declined tbh. even Webber was better than Dirk in the early-mid 00s. The funny thing is both you and DoK have said KG>Dirk in other threads having this same argument.

I do think prime KG>prime Dirk. I also think Dirk was a first tier PF as evidenced by his 4 first team all NBA appearances

Second tier relative to TD and KG (and Webber in the early-mid 00s). Similar to Kobe, Wade and than guys like Manu in the second tier or how at one point it was Paul and Deron and than a bunch of solid PGs a tier below. Nothing wrong with that and doesnt mean Dirk wasnt very good those years.

What do you mean by "second tier"?

If you're defining it by arguing that Dirk was never the best PF in the game at any point in his career, then you have a sound argument.

If you think he was never one of the elite PF's in the game at any point in his career then i think you're intentionally being re ed.

Yall get too defensive tbh, you guys have a persecution complex that Im out to hate on Dirk or something.

Obviously I think he was atleast a Top 5 PF in the league throughout pretty much all of his career. Top 3 for alot of years too. Im simply saying he wasnt in the same class as TD or KG. Similar to Paul/Deron being in a class of their own then a couple of very good, all-star, all-nba caliber players below them. Dont see how thats considered hating.

Fair enough.

although imho Dirk surpassed Duncan and was the best PF in the game from 08-11. again doesn't really matter though because it's just a matter of opinion and we could argue until our s turn purple. I don't really wanna do that
