Dirk Nowitzki passes Elgin Baylor for 15th all time playoff scoring list

[the cool]

and he's 6th all time scoring leader.....has a chance to pass Shaq and become 5th when he retires



meanwhile what has KG done in the playoff except first round exits? had to go ride paul pierce, ray allen, rondo coattails to win a ship. KG playing 4 mins a game this year dirk on minnesota playing next to Towns, Wiggins, Lavine would no doubt be now lower than a 5th seed.

Dirk > KG its not even debateable anymore

Dirk stans are so butt hurt that they'll battle for 2nd place instead of thinking about Duncan



meanwhile KG has a defensive player of the year award...does Dirk know what defense is?

Dirk vs. Garnett is as close as hell. I take Garnett just because the defense is so much better, but I'm not saying it's easy.

Both were elite for a LONG time....both were at the very top of the league for a period.

Dirk has 4 1st-team All-NBA selections, 12 All-NBA selections total.
Garnett has 4 1st-team All-NBA selections, 9 All-NBA selections total

Dirk has an MVP, two 3rd-place finishes
Garnett has an MVP, two 2nd-place finishes, and a 3rd-place finish

Garnett has 9 1st-team All-Defensive selections, 12 All-Defensive selections total.

Dirk has a Finals MVP
Garnett has a Defensive Player of the Year

Dirk was the best player on a championship team and the best player in two other deep playoff runs
Garnett was the best player on a championship team and the best player in 1.5 other deep playoff runs (hard to say who was most important in 2010)

Dirk led the league in PER and Win Shares twice
Garnett led the league in PER and Win Shares twice

Career PER is about the same....Career WORP is heavily in favor of Garnett (4th all-time in NBA)

Garnett 17th all-time in scoring, 9th all-time in rebounds, 17th all-time in blocks, 16th all-time in steals
Dirk 6th all-time in scoring, 30th all-time in rebounds....is going to up those numbers more than Garnett is
