Dirk hasn't played with a legit all star since Nash in like 2004. Kidd made it in 08' but that was a joke and he sucked in every playoffs with the Mavs.

The 2011 Mavs were Dirk and past their prime role players except for Tyson who sucks on Offense

All that said he had enough help to get him past the defending champion Lakers in 4, the young yet clearly talented Thunder, and the Heat led by Wade, Bosh, and Lebron's sister. All this legit all-star talk is bullshyt. The nikkas on the floor with him got the job done last year and have done so consistently (in the regular season) throughout his career. Their position on the star totem pole is really irrelevant and is nothing more than a way to try to prop him up. He's proven more than enough on his own. He doesn't need that.

That's because Dirk had one of the great playoff runs of all-time in '11. I've never seen a guy hit damn near every big shot in what seemed like every single game in the playoffs before. It felt like he shot 80% in 4th quarters.

I remember when he was roasting the Lakers they showed a stat of how he shot when Gasol was guarding him and it really was like 75-80%. He was just :mindblown: that entire postseason. That was a Jordan-like run he had. KG's never done anything close to that.

His run in 06 was even better IMO. Only difference between the two seasons was that the best player on the other team in the Finals elevated his game (with a little help :scheme:) in 06 while in 11 he folded. I am not fronting on Dirk but this narrative about him have no all-stars is just weak. Bron was an all-star in 11. What good did that do his team in the Finals? Pau was an all-star in 11. What good did that do his team? Kobe is an all-time great has he looked like it in 4th qtrs of the playoffs lately? Meanwhile Terry and Marion and Tyson and Kidd weren't but they came up huge during that run.

For the idiots: No I am not saying that Terry, Kidd and co. are better than Bron and Kobe. Simply pointing out the difference between reputation and honors and actual play on the court.

He and Sabonis are the most skilled 7 footers ever. I can't put an exact number on it though.

He's in my top 20, a 7fter who one of the great shooters of all time, developed a low post game and can drive, all time FT shooter, proved he clutch, won a chip with scrubs


I'd even think about putting him in the top 15

He had a one seed with Sprewell and Cassell. The T-Wolves were consistently in the 50 win range for like 5 straight years during KG's peak.

Dirk's a beast but nikkas have been sorely underrating his teammates since last year. During his career he's had Nash, Finley, Walker before he got too fat, Tawn at his peak comin of the bench, Josh Howard before he fell off, Terry, Kidd and Marion past their peaks but still effective. No hate on Dirk though but it's mighty funny how last years Finals changed him from a soft choker into a nikka who single-handedly carries teams to 50 wins seasons. :beli:

all those players you named were bums.

kg was playing 4th fiddle


put kg instead of dirk on those mavs squads and they barely get 8th seed


smarten up

:mindblown: KG was 4th fiddle in 2008 behind Rondo? Bad trolling on your part. Just bad.
