    Default Prime Dirk Nowitzki or Prime Ben Wallace

    If you started a franchise, who would you rather have on your team?

    Big man with bad offense but superb defense.

    or

    Big man with bad defense but superb offense.

    I'd take Ben Wallace.

    It's a lot easier to find someone, or a group of someones, to replace Dirk's offense than Ben's dominant boarding and defense. On the other hand, it'd be a lot cheaper to buy Ben than it would be to buy Dirk.

    Dirk was probably better on defense then Wallace was on offense, but I'd still say they're somewhat close, though I think many will disagree.

    I'd take Ben. You could always find a small forward that camps out on the 3 point line.

    Dirk! No doubt for me. And I'm a big fan of Big Ben.

    Dirk's strength isn't his 3-point shooting. It's his ability to create opportunities for himself and others. That's why he gets the big bucks.

    Big Ben because he was the anchor behind Detroit's success. 1 ring, 2 Finals and multiple ECF appearances.

    Is that why they won...59 games without win one season and went back to the ECF a number of times?

    People need to understand the difference between a defensive specialist and a franchise player.

    Ben. he anchored a defense won 3? dpoys. was an arguably an MVP in his prime. and all those ECF appearances. Plus it's not hard to find a shooting guard.
