@ethd2286 7 лет назад

Dirk is the one franchise player who never had a sidekick for his entire career. In 2011 he had Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler, Brendan Haywood, an older Shawn Marion and whatever was left of Jason Kidd, and took that team to a title. Dirk is absolutely top 20 all time.

Not too mention everybody who keeps saying that cast was so great in 2011 was 2-7 without him that same season.

@bigfatpanda99 7 лет назад

Literally after Dirk so many European players got drafted in hopes of the next Dirk example Darko Milicec or whatever. Porzingis is one of the most recent examples.

@calvinwestburg2579 7 лет назад

bigfatpanda99 good point

@mattpease6898 7 лет назад

bigfatpanda99 I understand what you mean but that's more of a comparison by association rather than play style. Those bigs are compared to Dirk because they are European, not because he is the bar for a shooting big man. Kevin Durant is the prototypical lengthy wing player. Then again I think Dirk is top 20.

@josh0766 7 лет назад

Matt Pease bigfatpanda99 people like Darko and Andrea Bargani were drafted so high because of the success of Dirk. Let's be honest Dirk was way ahead of his time. He pretty much made the stretch 4 position that's so coveted today. Kevin Durant has consistently played the 3 his entire career. Only until recently with golden state has he started playing more 4. When you look at his game KD is a wing with the way he handles the ball and shoots at 7 feet .

@KAZPER5 7 лет назад

@blakecombs1219 7 лет назад

I don't think Colin has ever watched Dirk play lol. Was probably so busy watching Lebron every play up the court in 2011 he didn't even notice Dirk then. Dirk is top 20 and its not really all that debatable.

@robertcastillo9366 6 лет назад

Dirk really deserves to be a top of all time. Top 20 for sure maybe even top 15. If you dont agree its because you have not seen enough of him. He is one of the if not the most unguardable players when hot. One of the clutchest players of all time. 6th on scoring. Elite streak of winning seasons and taking the mavs to the playoffs almost by himself. Just watch his 2011 playoff run to catch a glimpse of Dirks greatness. That '11 playoff run has to be one of the greatest playoff runs of all time from any player in history.

That's just my opinion though that's all.

@Saylin021 7 лет назад

The main reason kawhi makes the spurs defense "worse"when he is on the court is because, if you watch any game this year, essentially most teams put the guy he's guarding in the corner, avoiding kawhi entirely. Because he is a dominant defender. So what your left with are some aging players and young guys. Like seriously Nick is sounding like the spurs would be better without kawhi, what a joke.

@csd7663 7 лет назад

mushroomfall not everything has to be so extreme. He is just pointing out defense is harder when you have to carry the offensive load. Teams avoid Lebron the same way that they avoid Leonard.

@ballerbaby5967 7 лет назад

hes making the point for lebrons being mvp and most VALUABLE and people look at Kawhis defensive qualities and would expect more. its not about leonard being a worse defender or anything its his value defensively to the team

@funeralopolis1 7 лет назад

Tell me Luis, the teammate the Dirk had in 2011 that was comparable to Wade or Bosh. Dirk won with a bunch of over the hill veterans on their last ride, and role players.

@Xzei 3 года назад

@@funeralopolis1 That's exactly what Wade and Bosh were. Wade (always injured veteran) and Bosh (soft as tissue role player. Sorry, but putting up double doubles on trash teams when you have a high usage rate doesn't make you good) and the Miami heat team in general were trash without LeBron. When LeBron didn't play the Heat were below .500 When LeBron DID play and went to the bench, the Heat had a negative plus/minus The Heat were ONLY GOOD when LeBron was on the court. Take LeBron off and they are in the bottom 3 of the East with that bench and roleplayers.

@funeralopolis1 3 года назад

Xzei so then find me the teammate that dirk has you would take before wade and bosh. Terry was Dallas 2nd best player. Marion was the 3rd. They were not even comparable to Bosh or Wade. Not a debate to be had on any level. The talent disparity was clear.

@Xzei 3 года назад

@@funeralopolis1 So you want to name players and compare them based on the entirety of their careers and use that as evidence when discussing production in 1 playoff series? Chris Bosh shot 41% that series and could do NOTHING against Dirk. MIKE BIBBY was the starting PG for Miami. Only LeBron, Wade, and Haslem shot over like 45% I think. The 3-PT shooting was 41% to 34%, and the point differential for the series was less than 3 points per game. And statistically (offensively and defensively) both Tyson Chandler and Jason Terry outplayed Chris Bosh. OFF/DEF rating, PER, GS, whatever you like. That enough or do you still believe Dirk had no help because of "name on back of jersey is bad grrrr"

@C2Poke 7 лет назад

People keep saying Lebron has a superteam, but what makes it so super? The starting 5 includes J.R. Smith and Tristan Thompson. They are solid starters, but not stars. Kevin Love is an all-star but can't get his own shot and struggles defensively. Kyrie is an all-star PG who is a scoring wizard, but struggles as a facilitator and is not a good defender. The rotation includes a couple of 36-yr-olds (RJ, Korver), 34-yr-old Channing Frye, 32-yr-old Deron Williams, Iman Shumpert & Derrick Williams. Lebron somehow makes it all work at a championship level. But it all falls apart when he's not on the floor. That doesn't spell "superteam" to me.

@krndevil313 7 лет назад

Tod Wilkinson yet they are 0-5 without bron and 15.1 point differential when he's off the floor.

@jaxsonlee10 7 лет назад

Cornell Cannon very true. Although Kyrie is improving as a passer, he still doesn't do it enough in my opinion.

@chase7662 7 лет назад

@MistahUnknown 7 лет назад

KKinterlude so if LBJ won his 2007 and 2015 finals, he would be top 2 goat? because he didn't have all stars in those. I think you're giving Dirk too much respect. he won 1 chip from his 2 finals appearances with one finals mvp

Who is Karl Malone better then on list. Jordan, Chamberlain, Jabbar, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Olajuwon, Shaq, Kobe, Jerry West, Moses Malone, Oscar, Robertson, Dirk. Now you can argue that Kark Malone was better then Julius Irving. But then again you can argue that Walt Frazier, Dwyane Wade, Isiah Thomas were better then Karl Malone.

@N8veJay 6 лет назад

I have Malone the 4th best PF, because I believe guys like Duncan, Dirk, Garnett have done enough to surpass Karl, but Karl should definitely be 19 on the Top 20 list, since he is regarded as the best Player to never have won a ring.

Kawhi is so much better now than in 2013 and 2014, so I'm unsure of your argument here you stated a fact that posed nothing for debate.

@Luckymag-if4dw 7 лет назад

so 28/8/5 on 56% from the field and 50% from 3 is similar to 16/6/2??? like seriously?? And in the last 4 games of the 2013 finals lebron averaged 32/10/7/3/1 on 48% from the field and 43% from 3 in 45 mpg. Also didn't kawhi failed to even score in double digits in games 1 and 2 of the 14 finals?? Dude I actually love Kawhi's game and think he's becoming a top 4 player, but just stop it now, you are completely distorting the facts to make it fit your argument. ''Kawhi came back and swept the king'' ... really dude?? First of all it was 4-1, second HE didn't sweep nobody, the Spurs (who actually would still be a pretty solid team evfen without him) played fantastic basketball and beat the Miami Heat.

@JonnyLin7 7 лет назад

Nick Wright is absolutely on point with DIrk. I think it's personally a toss up between Dirk and KG. Both very impressive resumes. I think Dirk's 2011 season gives him a slight edge. Dirk beat a Miami super team without another true super team. Now that Dallas team was really good, Jason Terry, Shaun Marion and Tyson Chandler plus Rick Carlisle as coach, but Dirk was the superstar. KG had some fantastic seasons like 2004 though with Minnesota, where I thought he might have been the best player in the world that year. I tend not to judge too much on rings because that's a team achievement, but when you lead your team to a ring that's different. E.g. Why Kobe shouldn't even be mentioned with Jordan even though it's 5 versus 6 rings cause Jordan won finals MVP and was the best players for all those rings, while Kobe had someone who won all 3 finals MVPs who was, when at his best, the most unstoppable player of all time.

@TheHehe1223 7 лет назад

Wade should not be above Dirk. Dirk has an MVP and a Finals MVP. Dirk has been the best player of his team for 20 years. Wade was not the best player in Miami when Shaq was there or when LeBron was there, and he's not the best player now in Chicago. Dirk is 6th is scoring and Wade is 34th. Dirk is miles ahead of Wade.

How close to top 10 is dirk though and why? He's got like 1 ring from 2 finals appearances. If that puts him that close to top 10, then it's a slap into the face to a few goats. it's a slap in the face to guys who have 3 or 4 rings

@gerardgag 7 лет назад

MistahUnknown cause of the way that ring came, he was the only all star in that team and defeated Lebrón (arguably a top 5 player ever) dwayne wade (arguably a top 15) and crish bosh (11 time all star) winning mvp and finals mvp that championship run

@michaelvictorian1206 7 лет назад

Yaya Sanogo Ok? I'm a LeBron fan but this is a regular season award and Harden is balling

@chrisvanegas7036 7 лет назад

Yaya Sanogo the only reason why he's going to the finals is because he's in the east. If he's in the west he might not even make it to the western conference finals.

Nick Wright dropping some FACTS.

@NBAkingsfan10 7 лет назад

YES MORE NICK WRIGHT!!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!

@percybedford6266 7 лет назад

One thing Nick Wright fails to mention is the supporting casts. LeBron by far has the best supporting cast out of all the candidates. Khawi is the MVP this year and I am not even a Spurs fan. Once again Wright can't help himself when it comes to LeBron. I wonder what his excuse will be if he loses the Finals this year? He'll probably say LeBron ran out gas, I can hear it now.

@csd7663 7 лет назад

Percy Bedford Leonard has an extremely good supporting cast as well, along with maybe the best coach and GM ever. A big reason why Lebron has good players around him is because players take a pay cut because they want to play with him. No one is better at making players around him better then Lebron. Korver was shooting 42% from 3 in Atlanta. He is shooting over 52% from 3 in Cleveland.

@saberplaytop 7 лет назад

Dass Man the reason LeBron has so many good players around him is because he's the gm.

@krndevil313 7 лет назад

0-5 without bron this year. Without kawhi 7-1. But I say harden wins MVP this year

@jaxsonlee10 7 лет назад

Percy Bedford Their teams' win/loss records say you're wrong. LeBron has Kyrie and other nice guys. harden has the same and so does Kawhi. Westbrook doesn't have any shooters around him or they don't get enough oppurtunities to show it.

@percybedford6266 7 лет назад

jaxsonlee10 wow so you judge win loss record by the talent on the team? LeBron is playing with 2 all stars in the East. Kawhi doesn't have an all star, he is out West and his team is fighting for 1st place. The Spurs have over achieved where as the Cavs have overwhelming under achieved.

@scoop2448 7 лет назад

He also left out the fact the lebron has 4th most TOs in the league. Kawhi has 2 a game.

@scottbennici4689 7 лет назад

scoop245 Kawhi doesn't get assists like lebron does tho. Turnovers come with the territory of getting assists. It's why Harden, Westbrook and Wall get a lot of turnovers as well.

Mr E he's lower than that to me. He folds up in clutch situations. He might not be top 20.

@Jboooog18 7 лет назад

Very

@navin4984 7 лет назад

He def earned number 2 after winning over the 2016 GSW's in the finals and in the manner that the Cavs won it. 3-1 a well as beating the best record team in NBA since Jordans bulls...

@Mike-sx8nc 7 лет назад

Lebron has an all star team and he'll most likely win less games than the rockets, harden for MVP. Take Westbrook off the thunder, worst team in the league. Take lebron off the cavs, they're still a top team in he east

@ak740_ 7 лет назад

MichaelC3 if you simply look at the plus minus rating of the cavs when Lebron is off the floor, the cavs are equivalent to a lottery team. So no you're wrong

@Shemzinho 7 лет назад

+AK740 ''if you simply look at the plus minus'' blah blah blah. A Cavs team led by Kyrie and K Love would still be a top team in the East. Stop with the blatant nuthugging.

@912nelle 7 лет назад

Shemzinho so explain why they can't get a win by themselves?? Or explain why when Lebron went to the bench in that MIA game Kyrie couldn't maintain a lead and got his team outscored by 22 damn points??? Just shut up already...we all know LeBron is the best...this man just hit y'all with straight FACTS and y'all stay stuck on stupid

Kevin Garnet is far better than Dirk STOP IT

@Exilbremer12 7 лет назад

How do you support that? KG was a non factor for a couple of years before he retired and so were the Timberwolves while he was there. If he never left he would be remembered as a guy with a huge motor and no playoff run let alone a championship. Dirk changed the game, KG didn´t. If the question is who do you pick at his absolute best, that´s a conversation. But Dirk´s career puts him ahead of KG.

@Exilbremer12 7 лет назад

apologies, one playoff run.

@KClouisville 7 лет назад

And for all of the talk of Garnett's vaunted defense it sure didn't help him when The Timberwolves and Mavericks went head to head in the playoffs. They used Garnett as the main defender on Dirk and Dirk averaged 30+ points and 15 boards.

@funeralopolis1 7 лет назад

No he isn't. If he's far better, why didn't he ever beat him in the playoffs? Sit down clown.

@williambrown3427 5 лет назад

2011 by itself could put Dirk in the top 20 for real.

@C0smicDab 7 лет назад

Nick said straight up FAXX!!

@williambrown3427 5 лет назад

I think the reason why it’s not 50/50 offense defense as Nick Wright says is because there’s less of a spectrum on D. Honestly, even the best defenders can only have so much of an impact and even the worst ones if they put a body in front of their man or out a hand up Have some impact. Like if there was a guy who could hold any star In The league to 15 points each game that guy could Be MVP, but I don’t think he exists.

@edvardsrdic5642 7 лет назад

I personally would put Isiah Thomas (Zeke) in top 20. He was in era of many players in your top 20, he was an example of confident playmaker who knows how to run a team, his rivaly with MJ, Magic and Bird was huge
