The stats are so close it does not make a difference; and the other players have other scorers that they rely on more than themselves. Dirk is our number one option and you could argue that Garnett and Gasol are Option number two; and both produce close to dirk.
You are right Stats be Damned!

Yes, but since you start your defense with taking out the number one player -- Gasol and KG don't get game planned against near as much as Dirk either. They have it easier since they have other stars that the team has to worry about scoring.
That is what makes Dirk the better player. He is the #1 and still gets it done. KG and Gasol were the number ones in Minn and Memphis and neither could get it done consistently.
