Heated Chandler Parsons: Responds to Kareem's criticism on Dirk "One Trick Pony"

[kennethgriffin]

Huh?

He has 10+rebounds , 3+assists and 1+ steals and blocks many times in playoffs .

a) i meant to put "averaged 4+ assists and 2+ blocks.. my bad


b) playoff averages dont count since they can be as small as a 4 game sample..

[kennethgriffin]

kennethgriffin is an idiot. as proven by his post history over the years. dont take him seriously.

Defensive teams?

Kareem = 11
Dirk = 0


10+ rebounding seasons?

Kareem = 12
Dirk = 0


averaged over 4 assists

Kareem = 5
Dirk = 0


averaged over 2 blocks?

Kareem = 12
Dirk = 0



suck it

[kennethgriffin]

i'm white and even i can admit dirk was a 1 trick pony


kareem is 100% correct. dirk was great. hes a top 20 or so player all time just on his offense alone


but thats all he did

Sometimes a player has an ability that transcends being a great all-around player. Dirk is one of the most unique players ever and the greatest shooter for his size in NBA history. What Kareem said might be factually correct, but I'm not really sure what his point was. The results Dirk has achieved throughout his career speak for themselves. The goal is to effectively help your team win games. Dirk has been doing that for well over a decade.

Laker fan here.
Kareem is wrong and it makes me cringe.
Dirk is one of the most respectable players this game has ever had. He had a legendary playoff run in his Championship year. He stuck with the team that traded for him his entire career. He took pay cuts to get his team talent. During free agency a few years ago, he said he would take a back seat to any potential superstars willing to sign with Dallas, even going as far to be coming off the bench. He is a high character guy.

The dude has been nothing but an absolute professional. I've seen him battle the Lakers for the last 20 some odd years. The dude is absolutely not a one trick pony. The man is an assassin. It's just unfortunate he had to go it alone for much of his career. Imagine Dirk with the players Shaq, Kobe or Duncan had the privilege of playing with. (Or Lebronze, to a lesser extent. Although the aforementioned never had to collude).

I don't know what Kareems problem is, but he needs to respect the career of a top 20ish player of all time. Not everyone can be considered 1A-1B like Jordan and Kareem. Being the top 20 of anything, all time, is still such a great accomplishment. Surely not a position held by "one trick pony's".
/end rant.

Kinda agree with Kareem (and if any player can criticize fellow big men it's him). Had Dirk been an elite defender and elite shot blocker and elite post player for all of his career he'd essentially be a much different, better player. And that's saying something because he's already very good. Top 20-25 all time kinda player imo, which is damn good. He wouldn't be Dirk though. He is who he is. It's like saying, what if Duncan and Shaq had 3 point range. Only difference is those guys were more dominant

Kareem can't win without all time great PGs, he's like a one trick pony too.

Dirk is a stretch 4 who relies on mostly jumpshots to score his points.
Kareem is a center who played in the post.
Kobe is ALSO a jumpshooter just like Dirk.

holy **** youre retarded

KG>Dirk
Let's keep it moving fellas

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Kareem is obviously incorrect, but watch the part where he brings up Dirk. Far different context than what's being posted here.

Then again ISH has basically turned into a woman's gossip column, manufacturing drama when there really isn't any.

And you lack comprehension. Look up the word "sarcasm" might learn a thing or two.
