Those type of players need to be the 2nd option to go places and win titles, unless the player is a Duncan-type 7-foot foward. But even that alone won't get it done the way the league plays today.

Maybe I'm being harsh with "2nd option", just get some really, really good guys around him.
It didn't work when Kobe was the only option, and it didn't work when Paul Pierce was the only option, either. And neither of them is 7 feet tall. Dirk is better than KG and Gasol, but he does need someone that can occassionaly be the finals MVP.
