Mavs fans consider Dirk to be better than Kobe. Well, they should. Dirk is their guy and has proven he's a great player. But outside of Texas, most people will look rank Kobe higher on the GOAT list because of his accomplishments. 5 championships, 2 finals MVP's and a league MVP. Did he do it with help from his teammates? Yes. Has anyone won a championship by themselves? No. Comparing the two is not fair to either. Dirk has not had the supporting cast so he will never be mentioned in the GOAT conversation outside of Texas. Is it fair? Maybe not. But thats just the way it is.
