When Dirks career is over and we will no longer see that navy and silver jersey with the numbers 41 on it any more Dirk will be one of, if not THE best PF to ever play the game

And you know this because you began watching basketball in 2004?

No Silly I mean dont you see Dirk's stats, if not let me put you on the game...http://www.nba.com/playerfile/dirk_nowitzki/career_stats.html

He can win an NBA championship and doesn't choke in the playoffs on a consistent basis?

First off, stats aren't going to come close to telling you an accurate story of a player. Players are judged by far more than a box score.

The stats show that Dirk is a talented offensive player, but you're acting like you know a rich NBA history after only watching 5 years of basketball. Dirk won't even be top ten in PF's when it's all said and done, partly because he lacks the defense that separates the great players from NBA's elite.

He's not even the best PF in his state.

I bet i can name one athlete who didnt have the greatest defense and still is a legend, maybe two, Pistol Pete Maravich, John Stockton....

thats cool that you bring up the championships thing..i respect that.. you forgot a few other stats... like 3pt percentage free throw percentage, etc and i understand why, you wanted to pull all the stats out that duncan are actually better than except for points because there is no denying who the better scorer is.... and who the better player is...

Better career statistics.
Tim
21.4 ppg
11.7 rpg
3.2 apg
2.4 bpg
4 championships

Dirk
22.8 ppg
8.6 rpg
2.7 apg
1.0 bpg
0 championships

I'd love to hear why you think Dirk is better, despite Tim's much more impressive career.

Lol naw, Dirk actually is pretty smart when it comes to basketball....
so dirk is far worse when timmy only averages 3 more rebounds a game?
Dirk is on the perimeter most of the time so thats why he doesnt get the rebounds
Dirk is probably a better passer, but the stats show otherwise

Stupid stats not helping you out, are they? Perhaps you could compare your feelings about Dirk with your feelings about Tim. That seems to be your only proof that Dirk is better.
