clutch, its not about his ability to draw double teams. its his ability to draw his defender out to the three...leaving the paint open with only one defender instead of two...this makes slashers like stackhouse, howard, and terry more dangerous... avery has figured this out and has exploited it.It's pretty hard to argue that Dirk makes people around him much better, since he rarely ever creates off the dribble. Perhaps commanding double teams opens things up for his teammates, but the same could be said about any star in the league, including Tracy.

And then you have T-Mac and VC, and a notch below you have Jamison and Richardson.
T-Mac is just to inconsistent for me to like and he has a bad back problem.
As for Dirk, how many big men would you take over him? Duncan, probably. KG, maybe. Brand, no. Dwight Howard, maybe b/c he's younger, but that's probably it. Just face it, Dirk is much more unique and creates bigger mismatches and is why I would take him. T-Mac is just another athletic swingman who's selfish and just scores.

once tmac can play throughout the season without him crying about quitting or his back hurting then u can say tmac is better.
You cant say a player is better if they never play. It is that simple.

Dirk > Tmac
Dirk lead his team to the finals, it isn't even fair to compare a perennial first-round-exit to him.
