    Default Better Finals performance: 2010 Kobe or 2011 Dirk

    Kobe: 29/8/4/2/1 on 41% FG/53% TS, 4 TO's per game

    Dirk: 26/10/2/1/1 on 42% FG/54% TS, 3 TO's per game

    Factoring in stats as well as defense, performance in the clutch, opponent etc, which would you guys choose?

    Kobe.

    2 rebounds less, while being much smaller. More assists and playmaking. Better defense.

    Bryant was also facing a superior defense. Particularly on ball when guarded by Tony Allen. Or doubled with Ray Allen. Who to this day is still pretty much the best on ball defender in the NBA. Guy locks up whoever. Tough as nails.

    Also Kobe guarded Rondo and Ray Allen. Which was more difficult than Dirk being hidden on the likes of Haslem or Joel Anthony.

    Dallas faced a Heat team that beat themselves. A team that imploded because some sort of dysfunction between LeBron's effort level, disinterest, quitting and the rest of the team.

    2010 Celtics were a better version of the one the Heat beat the next year. And a way better version than the one the Heat struggled with in 2012. When they were on their absolute last legs.

    As for Kobe and Dirk's help offensively?

    Lakers
    P. Gasol 19 ppg
    Artest 11 ppg
    Fisher 9 ppg

    Mavericks
    J. Terry 18 ppg
    S. Marion 14 ppg
    T. Chandler 10 ppg

    So Dirk got slightly better offensive help.

    This can't be serious
    It's not the guy who shot 40% in the series and stunk up the place and nearly single cost the series by putting on one of the worst game 7 performances in nba history with 6/24
    It's dirk by a country mile.

    Bad argument when Nowitzki went like 9/27 in game 6 and got bailed out by Jason Terry.

    Stop hating.

    Dirk shot 41.6 % in the finals and shot 9/27 (33%) in Game 6.

    EXPOSED, b*tch!

    And both percentages are STILL better than what Kobe shot against a bunch of old men.

    In other words, it WASNT an elimination game and he has margin for error bc he put the mavs up 3-2?

    Kobe actually played very well in that 2010 series outside of game 7, where he still managed to have 23/15.

    Still probably give the edge to Dirk though based on how he played in pivotal moments during the series. Dude really found a way to capitalize when it mattered all playoffs long it felt like.

    Seriously. Finally an adult posts besides the children LeBron fan club. How quickly they forget. Dirk's 2011 Finals is so overrated .

    How refreshing to see a Kobe fan admit that!

    Respect

    Default Dirk or Kobe, All Time?

    Some retard with an agenda actually said Dirk > Kobe all-time today ...

    So I want to know what the rest of ISH thinks.

    LeBron stans please try to limit your posts to just your main account, no sock accounts to try to boost his reputation to validate or excuse LeBron's massive 2011 failure.

    Dirk has absolutely no argument over Kobe all time. What's AW's argument?
