Dirk was always the better scorer. Garnett was a defensive monster first who could give you a consistent jumpshot. Now that Garnett is on a bad team, of course that makes him look worse. Garnett's body will fail him in the end and he has nothing to play for. Not the Finals within reach. Doubt they even make the playoffs.

Read my post. Dirk was always the better offensive guy because of his range. Garnett is a do it all guy.... blocks, rebounds and assists If you want to compare do it with those above mentioned stats
yeah it seems like any team i root for bricks every damn one of these or barely gets them off sometimes. and it does seem weird that in a world with all these SportVU cameras that we couldn't get a better look at that lillard 3. a camera looking out to the 3 point line from above (instead of directly above) would seem to be normal when 2 vs 3 is one of the main reviewed calls.
considering dirk's scoring is the main thing he is known for, he should certainly finish with a lot more points than garnett if he wants to win the overall argument.
If that had been us, i don't even know if we could get an inbound pass in without turning the ball over.
I wish McHale could run a double screen to get someone wide open like that at the end of a close game..
Misses Dirk 20 feet open and chucks up brick - check Turns over inbound pass - check Hits game winner - check
lol..... Dirk is actually only leading by 80+ points Garnett is leading by + 2200+ in assists, + 4000+ in rebounds, + 700+ in steals, + 922 blocks Given that Garnett has played 3 seasons more than Dirk it it is still hard to catch for example his rebounding numbers. Nowitzki will have to play roughly 7-8 more seasons to catch up to Garnett's numbers if the latter decided to retire after the season.
Both only have one championship. Granted Nowitzki did more scoring. Rebounding, blocking shots, intangibles get overlooked during a championship run. Garnett was the defensive anchor, rim protector and D wins championships. Nowitzki also had one in Tyson Chandler. It is hard to say Nowitzki is the better overall player when in fact he did not play good enough D most of the time.
whats funny he's leading by 80 pts with Garnett playing 3 extra seasons? lol when they both retire the rebounds wont be that far apart. Blocks of course will be and steals as well. Assist wont be that far apart either as long as Dirk is good offensively and he obviously hasnt slowed down.
I recommend go back in time and watch. Do I think Dirk is the better player in the last 2 years or maybe 3? Yup I do. But if you have to chose I would think most of guys would take KG in his 20s - late 20s Majority of folks would go for Dirk when he was 30-35 year of age KG in his MVP year was in the WC Finals Dirk in his MVP year was beaten in the first round by the GS Warriors. Putting things into perspective.
