The only great point guards on that list are Steve Nash and Jason Kidd.
The rest are above average. Jason Terry and Monta Ellis never made an Allstar team and Deron has been average since leaving Utah.

No.

No, point guards didn't "carry" Dirk's career, and engaging in hyperbole is only going to make people counteract and underrate the PG's he played with. For instance, Jason Kidd was an experienced veteran (hungry for a 1st championship like Dirk) who lead the 2011 Mavs handedly in assists in the playoffs. He also lead in steals and three's made and was a solid defender. But because of threads like this people will refer to him simply as "old and slow". Hyperbole met with more hyperbole

Don't go after Dirk, you know better than this.

Rose team is no.2 despite him playing garbage. Goes to show that his mvp is because of stacked team

Wow, this is the worst and least accurate thread I've seen in a long time

That's a good point. There are gonna be those who try to downplay Kidd's role in Dirk's ring, and those who still call the 2011 version him a "HOF PG". People don't realize that in most (if not all) cases, there's a middle ground.

A legitimate case can be made though that Dirk has been the best Maverick on the court during every minute he has ever played.

just because Karl Malone played with Stockton doesn't mean Malone isn't a great player.
