Official Dirk is Great Thread

The fact that you threw Drexler and Stockton into the mix either shows that you're an idiot or your bias.

Take it to another thread.. this one is a celebration of Dirk's awesomeness.

I don't mean to dignify the absurd comparison between Clyde and Dirk...and I like Clyde, but the fact is that he tied his wagon to Hakeem (arguably a top 10 all time player) to win his rings...Dirk won his without as much as another All Star.

Sheesh.

How do you feel comfortable using titles to distinguish players when they played in completely different era's, against completely different teams? Using Drexler as an example, why would you knock him for losing in the Finals against teams that probably would have won the title this year too (90 Pistons, 92 Bulls)? Do you think any team from this past season would have beaten the 90 Pistons or 92 Bulls in a series?

The name calling really isn't necessary. If you want to discuss do it in a civilized manner or just ignore my posts.

I have Drexler and Stockton in that range (15-25 or so). It's quite debatable that they had better careers than Dirk. Drexler is a top 5 SG. Stockton is arguably the 2nd or 3rd best PG. No one is an idiot for saying they are arguably top 15-25 players all-time, ring or no ring.
