Dirk Nowitzki is better than Kevin Garnett and Elton Brand

Dirk has done just as much as those guys, if not more thats how I feel about it.

People too often assosciate last year's playoff performance by Dirk as the usual, in fact he's actually one of the best playoff performers and always steps it up.

Garnett can't really get his team out of the first round, and needs Cassell to -- And Brand has never been in the playoffs (but will this year), after acquisition of Cassell

I agree with this. Dirk is much more of an offensive threat than both players. With Brand you put a big body on him and Garnett you can put almost any power forward and he isn't going to blow up. Dirk has a winning attitude and makes big shots in the 4th quarter.

Id have to agree based only on team success. Dirk has obviously taken this team to the next level compared to last year. But Brand as of now is hard to say because i think taking the CLIPPERS into the playffos alone makes him a top 10 player as well.

KG on the other hand, he just needs a diffrent team now, hes just being drug down as far os offense. But Based on this seasons performance, i would say possibly. But brand has been putting these numbers all his career.

Dirk on the otherhand is more versitile then Brand, Hes got 3pt range, shooting touch, post up game...Hes like a center in a SG's body...

I disagree...Dirk is a AWESOME 2nd option...

hes a good 1st option but still lacks that umph...dont get mad Pippen was the greatest 2nd option ever and was even really really good as the 1st but the want to lead was always missing


but I would still take Dirk over KG becuase KG is just a 2nd option pretending to be a 1st also...

I definitely want Dirk to be the first option. Howard can be the perfect second option to Dirk. You still want Dirk to be your go to guy or he might struggle. When Dallas had a lot of scorers Dirk struggled with his rhythm so I say first option suits him best.
