Has any all time great ever outplayed The Almighty in a playoffs series?

[masonanddixon]

Outside of Wade/the refs in 05-06, I can't think of a single instance in which Dirkules was outplayed.

Don't need an all time great to outplay him, when even Baron Davis kicks them out of the playoffs after having a great regular season.

Forgot about that one. That was for like the first three games though. Although Dirk was never great series. But Tmac guarded him better than anyone I have ever seen (Having Yao for help defense didn't hurt either though).

Dirk was probably the first big man to establish a legit mid range jumper that was equal to a DUNK.

Watching Grif- shows that Grif watched vids to see how best to attack Dirk on defense.
That is a super human defensive play by Grif , few others can stop Dirk.
