"We're on? Right now? I dont believe you."
If Dirk started taking 30 shots a game it would hurt Dallas's flow. Sure Dirk will have some big point total games but it will be detrimental to other players on the team as they won't get as many touches which will lead to more losses. Terry will tell you that he is happy that Dirk isn't scoring more points.
The Lakers win when he makes shots thats for sure. If its possible Id give the ball to him almost all the time on offense.
Of ing course it would hurt their flow, they have good players all over the court, if Kobe was on the Mavs and Dirk was on the Lakers, it would flip, Dirk would have to shoot more and Kobe would have to shoot less. Do you not understand the concept of having good teamates around you? They take the scoring pressure off of great players, like Scottie did with Mike
So you think Kobe would be as effective with less shots? I don't think so. He struggled when he doesn't get that many shots. That is his biggest flaw. He needs a lot of shots to get in a flow. Kobe with Shaq was of course successful because Shaq shot 60% from the field. Dirk would obviously be successful with Shaq as well with that type of percentage.
Well lets see, last year he averaged 27 fg attempts per game, and averaged 35. This year he is averaging 22 attempts, and averaging 31. His fg% lat year was 45%, this year, 47%. So that argument doesnt hold up, plus his assists have gone up one this year from last. Dirk only takes 4 less shots a game on a great team, with multiple all stars, so to think that if he had lesser players he wouldnt take 4 more shots a game is stupid
Who's talking about Shaq...oh don't look, but Kobe is less than a point off for effeciency just below Dirk. A successful team has more than 1 option. Early on the season wheh Kobe was hurt and they had a healthy team they were a top 5 team. What's your point....take off Devin, Howard and Damp off you team with no george, stack and your team nose dives just like the lakers.
Dirk's percentages are still better. Kobe scoring a lot on a bad team is not as impressive as him scoring a lot on a good team.
Kobe's team isn't that bad off. You've heard of Odom and Walton? How about Turiaf.
With every post you are looking completely baseless with your comments. I have heard of Turiaf...a rookie who has also been battling back spasms this year and has missed games. Kobe scored plenty on a good team...how about the 30 he dropped per game in the 02/03 season...dumbass...please look up stats if you're going to argue them. With your logic KG is a better player than dirk...and I agree with that.
Damn you are a mav homer
Dirk-50% from the field, 41% from 3, 90 from ft
Kobe-47% from the field, 37% from 3, 87% from ft
Kobe has taken twice as many 3s and 200 more fts.
So yes, Dorks % are better, but not by much, especially when your comparing to completely different positions at two completely different heights. And I dont understand your last statement, do you mean scoring against bad teams or because he is on a bad team?
I'm not going to repeat myself. I've already proved you wrong. You already got owned and you resort to comments like dumbass. OWNED
Your kidding right? Odom is pretty good, but on every team he has ever been on will completely dissapear. Walton has been hurt all year and is just now getting back in the swing of things. And the fact you brought up Turiaf assures me you havent watched any Lakers game or are just dumb, the guy averages 13 minutes a game
How the did I get owned.....can anyone tell me.....Chandler has a better percentage than Dirk...big ing deal. I still think you put KG on Dallas and take off Dirk...you handle would be kgfan1000 rather than the latter....bottom line, Dirk scores 4 50 point games in a row on a depleted Dallas team, he'd be a hero and get a key to the city....baseless...
No, youve proven you dont know about basketball, Kobe averaged 28, 25 and 30 on those championship teams, pretty good if you ask me. I think you just like to make statements without any backing to them
I know that doesn't seem like a lot to you but it's enough to make the difference between winning and losing occasionally. I guess in Kobe's case it is both. He scored a lot against bad teams and barely won and his team isn't that good. God Kobe fans are so annoying.
So are Mav homers. I dont even like Kobe that much but to say that what he is doing isnt impressive, or that he isnt looking out for the best intrests of the team is dumb. You dont think it would be harder for Dirk to shoot a high percentage if he had around him? Kobe is that teams only real game changer, and teams key on him, and he still dominates. Dirk wouldnt be as good as he is without all the shooters around him to space the floor, you could double him every time he had the ball. So I guess you think that if he passed more his team would have won those last 4 right?
Actually NBA fans....I love Kobe, but I also love the game and am a student of its history. What Dirk is doing is great...just like KG when he won his MVP on a solid team. A dallas fan arguing a laker fan about the virtues of winning and losing...well I can argue about winning...you my friend have more experience in losing. Please share me your wisdom.
I'm not saying scoring doesn't matter. Chandler is way behind Dirk in point total. Dirk has found a happy medium scoring 25 points a game while getting his teammates involved. Dirk also gets 10 rebounds a game and challenges shots around the rim because of his height. Kobe is no doubt the better scorer but Dirk is the better all around player. KG is no doubt a great player and about the same level as Kobe but he is not as much of a offensive threat as Dirk. Like I said Dirk has found a happy medium where ball bog/Lack of offensive threat is not questioned.
Once again you pull the better overal player card....simply madness I say. How does Dirk make his teammates better...what amazing stat will you pull out your ass.....A 7 footer averaging 9 boards....amazing. Still, no arguement about winning and losing. Let's not put the last 7 years on the table.
You realize Dirk doesnt even average a block a game right? You realize he only averages 9.6 rebounds a game, less than 4 more than Kobe. Kobe is also a shutdown defender, something Dirk knows nothing about. And like I said, Kobe only shoots 4 more times a game than Dirk, so its not like thats a huge step up for a shooting guard, and he averages 2 more assists a game than Dirk, why dont you look at some stats before you make these great claims. , Duncan averages 20, 11, 2 and a half blocks, just as many assists as Dirk, and shoots much higher from the field than Dirk, it doesnt mean I think Tim is better than Kobe
Kobe is the best player in the league.
Kobe is a pretty damn good defender in actuality. You really need to take off your homer goggles because he owned Dallas through 3 quarters. Kobe is the best player in the NBA, and yes that means better than Dirk, and if you were to put Dirk on the Lakers, they'd be lucky to amass 38 wins by the end of the season. Give him his damn props dude, .
