    Garnett was never Dirk status.
    he needed a stacked crew to win. Dirk won with Jason terry and Tyson Chandler!!!

    I can depend on Shaq in the 4th...

    Came to say that. All that barking Garnett did when LeBron was being piled on about being a 3 Qtr Superstar made me lose all respect for dude was he was the original. Word to Scottie Pippen.

    First of all Dirk > KG

    And the level of disrespect to dirk is ridiculous.

    Dude made it to h finals out the west twice. With two totally different roster.

    With no second option at all.

    Duncan had Parker and Manu
    Shaq had Kobe

    Dirk had Devin Harris first time around and The Matrix the second time.

    Dude is top 25 all time

    He also lost to an 8th seed team after winning 60 games and winning MVP.

    Point?

    And please tell why this makes him a lesser player then KG?

    ? no. Dirk was nuttin up gettin locked down by small forwards word to Steven Jackson mat Barnes and Shawn Marion. He got Avery Johnson fired nuttin up missing free throws vs mia in the finals. No defense soft. He had Finley Nash Terry van exle and punch of other players in his career. Kg>>>Irk

    Don't even ask me how...

    Dirk avg 33/16 in the playoffs vs KG in 03 when Mavs swept them.... Finley was half way out the door when Dirk was starting to hit his peak and Mavs became legit contenders when Nash left... KG missed the playoffs 3 years straight in his prime, teamed up with potentially 3 HoF players for 1 ring... Dirk won a ring with one of the least talented team in recent memory, each team he faced had 2-3 Allstars and he was the underdog each round and not one series went to a game 7...Dirk>>>KG

    I have a rebuttal but I'm still high off the Spurs winning #5 and I hate both KG and Dirk (respect the hell out of them tho)...

    All I'm going to say is its Dirk> KG because of 2011... KG had the same team in 2004 but Sam I Am got hurt... Both won one and lost one in the Finals... Both got an MVP... One got 1 more finals MVP...

    Three athletes come to mind when I think of athletes who were so physically dominant that they seemed like they were grown men competing against kids in their prime...

    1. Shaq
    2. Iron Mike Tyson
    3. AD

    AND...

    Breaking goals so much that the NBA had to make them "Shaq-Proof" >>>> KG goaltending shots after a whistle. lol

    I think seeing some of the opinions in here a KG vs Dirk thread needs to be made.

    Crazy how hard the center position fell off after Shaq. I figured he would change the position and how it's played and motivate the rest of these young 7-foot-15 nikkas to boss up. Guess not.

    Back in like 03 I think the wolves couldn't stop Shaq on the lakers in the playoffs. Best plan I could come up with was just have Michael Oluwakandi just viciously attack Shaq with a folding chair to take him out of the game. It would have been the only way.

    KG ain't want no parts of Shaq in the post.

    Nobody did that's why he had ? playing the 4 instead of the 5 lol

    Guarantee KG never tried that bully ? with him.

    Shaq was a created player ain't been no ? like him since and prolly never will be with the way the game changed.

    Imagine if he stayed in shape? He scored over 28k while only playing like 4 full seasons.

    Still Shaq. Shaq would have averaged 85 and 30 back then.

    Shaq is a 4.0 student who gets 3.5s ... he plays to his competition.
