Say, Whats the Difference Between Dirk Nowitzki & Kevin Durant? :hmm:

[Shogun]

I said ALMOST.

people and media to this day still knock Lebron for the 2011 FINALS lose, why not critcize Dirk for losing in the FIRST ROUND 8 times, one of them as the 1st seed and another as the second seed?

I dont believe Dirk was crowned a king at 12, nor did he guarantee his franchise 7 rings.
Maybe I missed it

 

[BrothaZay]

One beat a super team for his first ring, the other joined a super team in an attempt for his first ring

 

[Luke Cage]

They both are never making a 1st defensive team or even 2nd all defensive team. But other than that they are nothing alike.

Crowned a King? It's a joke on his name since Lebron is African for King.

Who the fukk holds the fact that he's nicknamed King James as a youngin? People hate Lebron because he's once in a lifetime basketball phenom that got recognized when he was young??

1. He tattooed it on himself.
2. Why you overlooking the 7 championship gaurentee?

None of us did or said something stupid as a teenager or in our early 20's? We expected a teenager who grew up in a single parent house to act like a normal well rounded adult. This forum worships Floyd for that same quality (arrogance), yet when anyone else shows it there's a problem?

Look at you guys getting defensive. I'm not attacking LeBron, simply stating facts.

The point is there's a reason why there were/are higher expectations for LeBron than goddamn Dirk.

of course there are more expectation for Lebron, but that doesn't mean Dirk should get a pass for losing in the first round 8 times


If a "superstar" get praised for winning, he should get criticised for losing. simple as that. But hey, we living in a time where losing in the first round or not even making the playoffs is better than losing in the finals.

You right

They play nothing alike except the fact they're both 7ft shooters. Even in his prime, Dirk never played on the perimeter like KD and was never a factor in transition like KD is anytime he's in on a fast break.

One is all time talent still cementing his legacy.

The other is probably the best shooting big man of all time.

Horrible thread tho

He did actually. Young Dirk played more like a guard than a big man



I think KD is already an all time great too. Could retire tomorrow and be top 30

This vid just reinforces my point. Dirk scored in transition twice at the beginning of the game and after that, scored mostly out of the post. Dirk can move but it's nothing like how Durant moves and handles the ball. They have two different games but of course both can do other things in spots.

I agree about Durant but he could end up 10/5 all time depending on how the rest of his career goes.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

durant can run the floor

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Dirk plays like a skilled stretch 4 while Durant plays more like a guard.There styles really aren't that similar

 

[Real]

I see someone has been listening to Colin cowherd

Put together they both have 5 less rings than MJ
