Is it really as simple as that? Perhaps we should talk about offensive
efficiency instead of raw numbers? Would another player who put up 25 pts. be able to put it up in the same manner as Dirk without placing undue stress on the Mavericks' offensive schemes? Do you have any idea what kind of disgusting percentages Dirk is shooting from the floor? And don't just look at FG%, you have to take into consideration everything, FTs, three-pointers - then ask yourself this: Ceteris paribus, if we put Dirk in uniform v. most any other player in the league and gave them all the same number of minutes and shots - who would put the most points up?
Dirk.
