Pretty much everyone u named is a hall of famer (I honestly don’t know much about Roy or if he’s good or not)

@@tyreekhillsdaycare1535 right. Roy is the only one that won't be a HOFer, with Aldridge being the only fringe one. Bosh likely will be.

What a hell of a career.

Five League MVPs in one post season. I’m trying to find someone who beat more on their way to a ring.

@@tyreekhillsdaycare1535 even Brandon Roy could've been HOF if it wasn't for injury. Kobe said he was the toughest perimeter player to guard for a 3 year span.

Yea, he was a rolemodel for modern NBA...

Facts!!! Dude would have done some next level damage

@@rapsack7058 hakeem too.

Dirk is basically Porzingis but better in every aspect, at least so far. And KP is a borderline all-star.

@@nelsondu2333 Porzingis is a better defender than Dirk

He never played for mavs

@@nbawinningtips that’s the joke dude

I like how he watches Doncic play and gives him advice.

@@heneedsomemilk2877 You didn't get the joke within the joke.

@@heneedsomemilk2877 read his comment again

I always find it funny how 2k rates the young Dirk so slow with no ballhandling.

FACTS

@@Maxphyte FACTS! Only other seven footer who had comparable dribbling (until more recenlty) was maybe Garnett? Although he certainly couldn't pull up off the dribble like Dirk.

@@jordan7985 don’t undersell KG. That guy was doing ridiculous stepback jumpers in his prime lol

@@Maxphyte that's why i said maybe KG ;) I just think what Dirk was doing was next level: hesi pull-ups from 3, ballhandler on pick and rolls, and 1pull-up from anywhere at anytime, his game just reminded me of a shooting guard.

Onbro

Sounds mad fun

Well u guys did have that one guy who dropped 50 every other day and outscored us in 3 quarters

How is he underrated? He is 06/07 MVP

@@dogodeburdeos6180 and? That has zero to do with perception. A lot of guys don’t give him credit outside of just saying he was good. Guys don’t realize how good he was for so long.

I don´t know who you guys are you talking about. Nobody with any basketball knowledge or more than 15 yo would tell you that crap. The reality is that he is an MVP, look at the MVP´s along history. And obviously it has a lot to do with perception btw. People were able to perceive in 07, specially the ones that gave him the MVP and all NBA fans at the time. He is no underrated by no means. Before and nowdays. I get that as a 20 yo dude you may believe that claiming for Dirk´s greatness is needed, but trust me, it isn´t.

@@dogodeburdeos6180 you know your opinion isn’t fact right? There are people who don’t know the extent of dirks greatness. not everyone thinks like u. Listing accolades doesn’t change anything. Think about someone like Moses Malone who won MVps and a title and half of people born after he retired don’t even know who he is, yet he’s wildly considered top 20 all time. U can be a majorly accomplished player and be underrated.

Prime dirk will eat davis alive. No one can guard his one leg fadeaway all you need to do is contest then pray for miss.

Duncan is better than Davis defensively and Dirk used to kill Duncan. There's no doubt in my mind that there's no one that could stop Dirk. It takes more than one person, it takes at least 2 or 3 players playing team defense and even then you're probably going to slow him down, not stop him.

@@bigred9991 Thats why Pop sayed, you have to defend Dirk diffrent from all other players. You have to defend Dirk in a special way...

That shit is getting hard to watch now with all the flopping

Lies. That’s been happening for decades. Dirks signature is literally him kicking his legs on every fade to draw contact. Reggie Miller used to do it, Kobe used to do it, tmac, etc.

@Fiend Energising that’s a damn lie. U just don’t pay attention probably. Everyone I named used to do it.

@@TheIcemanthomas bro you talking about 2 different things. I'm talking about flopping. You're talking about kicking out for contact. Marcus smart literally jumping in the air with no contact off of just dribbling.

@@HuffStars that was happening too. D wade popularized it

Dirk was robbed of the MVP this year he averaged 28 PPG 9 RPG 3 APG 48% FG - 40% 3PT - 90% FT DAMN NEAR A 50-40-90 Season! Games played: Nash: 79 GS Dirk: 81 GS Team Wins: Suns: 54 Wins Mavs 60 Wins How the hell did Nash win?????

The league needed a more marketable superstar and so they manufactured that W for dwade. Dwade is an industry plant by every definition.

20 years ahead. Victor. Chet.

wasn't nearly as dominant, but big respect

@@manny19976 to me Bird is 9th or 10th on the GOAT list while Dirk is anywhere from 16th to 19th range as a GOAT

@@donttouchmysilver8202 respectfully i think 9 or 10 is lowkey disrespectful lol 3 chips 3 straight mvps & multiple finals mvps there aren't 8 players with better resumes & on court dominance

@@manny19976 (not in order besides MJ lol) Jordan, Jabbar, Magic, Kobe, Shaq, Russell, Wilt, LeBron, Duncan & potentially Curry & Joker in the future. Bird is 9-10 to me. Highest I could give him would be 7th

@@donttouchmysilver8202 larry bird has more mvps than kobe & Shaq combined lol & I think we can all agree wilt is a bit overrated because of his era but ill give u bill russell because of sheer dominance of his championship run, mj, Kareem, magic, & lebron but no one else u mentioned can u definitively tell me was more dominant than bird in his prime , so 6 is where i put him

No. He was good though

And the realy hard thing was, you shoud not foul him...89% FT ;)

Ty elder speak for yourself

@@kingi.z.a.h1086 kind of what I was doing when I said i multiple times

Dirk was basically Kevin Durant, not as explosive an athlete, but a bit taller. He could score in every way in the half court in his prime which was like from 2001-2013. He had a very long prime and almost never got injured. He had a couple of poor performances in the playoffs like the 2006 finals and the 2007 first round series against the Warriors which made many call him just a soft Euro jump-shooter. But Dirk was actually a very good playoff performer and super clutch. In his era, it was him, Pierce, Wade and Nuggets Melo that were the most clutch players in the NBA. People just remember old slow Dirk, the one that moved like he shit himself and had cement in his shoes. He was a much better athlete than given credit for, very nimble, agile and fluid.

Dirk was basically the reason you see all these 7 footers dribbling and shooting the ball today. He was to the NBA in the 2000s what Steph Curry was to the NBA in the 2010s. Literally changed the game, stretch 4s and 5s became a thing due to to Dirk

@@alien4ever Wow, thanks for that man, can never have to much good Basketball content!

He was a nightmare too bad people are too young to realize what dirk nowitzki brought to the nba.

Absolutely agree

He revolutionized the power forward position. I remember growing up watching him and being completely perplexed that people hated on him so much. I understood back then that we were watching the future of basketball. There will never be another Dirk Nowitzki. He is the true Unicorn of the power forward position.

Nah 0:23 travel

@@p.v.e0581 First of all, no it wasn't. He continued his dribble, he just hesitated with his body. Secondly, even if it was a travel (which it wasn't), one play doesn't negate Dirk's handles being underrated.

*Smoothest shooting Big in general

It went so much to the city too

🤣😂

No doubt.

Yup

Nah

​@@nbastalgiacritic1751 shut up. Casual ass😂

I think he was always good at lowpost but he heavily relied on his post game in his later career cuz father time had taken dirk's speed and agility.

Nowitzki is the best offensive PF in the history of basketball. But his choice to retire at age 40-41 was not so good. He had to retire in 2013 at age 35.

@@ivantheterrible4317 Giannis is best offensive pf in history

Nah it was either kobe or Lebron

@@vamoneygroup no

I think KD watched Dirk a lot and learned......

@@rapsack7058 I remember watching a preseason game the Thunder vs the Mavs and watch KD hit a 1 foot fade away and when he starts to turn back down he finds Dirk and stares at him. After the game he said he was paying homage. Kobe also did the exact we thing.

Wrong comparison. Dirk had handles, he had played small forward in his first season. Dirk couldn't use them much after he put on weight in 2004. KD was a lot more athletic than Dirk and can jump higher. KD plays like Dirk only in term of with those mid-range pull-ups and trail 3s. They are both match-up nightmare for their skill relative to their size. That's why Dirk was one of KD's draft comparison. But KD isn't going to play like prime Dirk because he doesn't have those post moves, like spinning left and right, roll in and those lefty lay-ups. KD is not a post player. He is a small-ball power forward, not an actual power forward (e.g. Luis Scola, LaMarcus Aldridge). I mean KD went out of his way to lie about his height just to not play the 4 and avoid learning all these post move.

@@csy9366 @Jamal Burch Both KD and DIrk found there own way to play post. Dirk wasnt playing post like the "normal classic Pf" who pushed others out of the way. Dirk did it with and only with smart footwork. But dont compare later Dirk with KD. Look more for Dirk at 2006. And theres Dirk more compareable to KD. Dont underestimate dirks athletic abilitys. Its just he didnt rely on it like most others. He used skill and body control over raw athletics. I think Holger teached Dirk that way to have a more healthy play style. And it worked ;) Back to the point, KD learned from Dirk and he found its own way to play. Its like Judo..There are the basics and every body learns them and all look alike. But later you change the style for competions. You change the style to use best what your own body gives you... In that way KD looked at Dirk and used Dirks skills and moves as basics for him self. And then he learned to do it on his own way with his own style.... I hope that makes sense for you...

KD can also play defense

I think so. Maybe only KD is on his level, but Dirk’s stroke is so much nicer. Nearly everything he drained was a splash that didn’t touch rim. Absolutely one of the greatest shooters that ever lived.

@@marcusmcneal7453 i’m convinced he has the best swish of all time. everytime he shoots you think it’s going in

Basketball is not about all stars. 😂 Dirk had some great teams.

2nd greatest PF of all-time behind only Timmy.

@KeepitMelo 41 one year? Lol

His #s don’t reflect his game. When I watch the highlights .I feel like he should’ve average more points like 33 PPG or something. Is it cause he didn’t shoot a lot of 3s or something. So unstoppable, he shoot over wit ease & score at will with no wasted movement & that spin move layup or fadaway was just an elite counter
