Or '99 when the Spurs swept them.
Where do Dirk and KG end up in the pantheon of All-Time Best PFs?

You guys know what I mean, when they were in their cohesive primes and had their threepeat, not for every single minute they were signed on the same team.

burnt out after making the finals 3 years in a row, gets sent home early and gets some rest, beats them again the following year

phil is the reason we came together to win 3 straight, with out him we win 1 at most^^^^^^Excuses

including 2003 lakers (kobe/phil) have a .700 record vs the spurs in the playoffs, pretty much a cakewalk every meeting

Those 15 straight points in the third were absurd.

They're almost equal to me. Who I'd rather have depends on who else is on the team.

It's close, but I go with Dirk > KG because if I'm a GM and I needed one of the two guys, and the rest of my team is a bunch of scrubs--I'd have more faith in Dirk to lead the team than KG. KG was never a franchise player. He had his opportunity and maybe it was his age, but he never was able to put anything together. He's provided "leadership" and whatever, but KG had his time with Terell Brandon, Spree, Marbury and was never able to do anything.
He was a big part of why the Celtics won, but he's not a #1 guy. He's 5th out of 5 in the top 5 PF for me.
I'd never be comfortable saying "I'm going to build my franchise around KG" because, unfortunately, you can't just be an all-around beast. At some point, you have to be able to be "the guy" offensively, and KG doesn't have that.
I also don't trust that KG is a sane player who is coachable.

Couple things,
1. Sprewell was not a good player at the time. He was 33 years old and washed by the time he got to Minny and was out of the league a year later.
2.
at KG not being coachable when his former coaches/teammates say the exact opposite.

Sprewell was FAR from washed when he got to Minny, that's just wrong.

Umm his PER and WS/48 were both below league-average and his TS% was under .500 which is atrocious. That's Raptors Rudy Gay territory. You consistently make fun of every player in the league with that kind of inefficiency.

I'd take Duncan, Malone, then Chuck in that order.
Barkley was a rebounding monster at what? 6'4"-6'5"? That's ridiculous...
