End prime Dirk destroyed your GOAT at his peak with Jason Terry as his best teammate while Lebron had prime Dwayne Wade. Fall back lol.

He's certainly GOATed at what he did offensively. There's only 2-3 guys ever with that kind of consistent shot-making ability.

LeBron isn’t my GOAT but he also destroyed prime Kobe so your logic is specious as usual.

At his position sure. As an overall player he is no in GOAT territory which was my point.

That only proves Arby's point further lmao... Dirk beat multiple GOATs with less help.

He's underrated because he had zero commercial appeal or deals compared to most all time great hoopers.

Well no but the thread and video is about his ability offensively.

It doesn’t prove anything at all unless you think Chauncey Billups has a case over Kobe. Sometimes the better player/team chokes. Dirk literally only won because LeBron played like shit. He had no business winning that series and you know it. If he did LeBron wouldn’t get shit for it.

Offensive GOATness, yeah.

Another "lil arby fail"

LOL... he had no business but it actually happened.

If you want to compare Chauncey Billups to Dirk you're taking an L. That was a one off.

Dirk has beat prime Lebron, Kobe, KG, Duncan, Durant, and Wade H2H in the playoffs. Good luck arguing that one pal.

If Dirk had so much business winning that series you wouldn’t shit on LeBron for it. Can’t have it both ways.

Great video! This really is the best ball channel on YT.

One thing I'd mention is that Dirk's free throw rates might be a bit higher than expected due to technical free throws too. All elite free throw shooters get one here and there to bump their scoring efficiency up.

How was he good? Simply comes down to favoritism and better looks when it's no secret that Detlef Schrempf was and is the better ball player. Dirk is on record in the Deutsche Zeitungen crediting Schrempf for his overall basketball game. That cannot be overlooked.
