Re: Rasheed Wallace was a better player than Kevin Garnett
[QUOTE=JohnnySic]Yeah Dirk was amazing that one year. Still, not better than KG overall. KG was an infinitely better defender, better rebounder, better passer, better in the post, better going to the hoop, better at pretty much everything except range shooting.
One playoff run doesn't define a career. Let's not forget the '07 meltdown after winning a bogus mvp, lol.
Malone, Barkley > Dirk as well.[/QUOTE]
Garnett was better at getting to the post, but once in the post, Dirk was better. Dirk was better close, mid-range, and from 3. His scoring ability also made it easier for his teammates. It is also funny to act like Dirk only had 1 good year. He had 1 season as MVP with a very unfortunate first round, 1 season where he took his team to the Finals but the refs helped Wade take over, and 1 season in which he dominated against a stacked Heat team that won the next 2 years. He then had multiple years of deep playoff runs against a stacked West and just couldn't make the Finals. KG on the other hand, had 1 season as an MVP with a deep playoff run in the West, and then a bunch of years as a stat producer but many first round exits. Like Dirk, KG made 2 Finals trips and 1 championship, but KG had to team up with a super team to get there and had a pretty easy path to each Finals with the Cavs being the only real threat multiple years and 1 year with the Magic as a threat. People like to complain the KG didn't have a great roster around him, but Dirk never had a roster as good as KG's Celtics and was still able to do as much as him despite spending his entire career in the West.

[QUOTE=fourkicks44]Yeah, those are impressive statistics and respect due, however he has been playing for a hell of a long time.
Think about this, KG played when Magic Johnson was still in the NBA.[/QUOTE]
