What are you watching out there?
Maybe glorified role player is a little much because I agree that he's the greatest big man shooter ever but lets be real Dirk aint playing great on both sides of the ball.
Dirk is never a first team or even second team defense player, he's not a great passer, great rebounder, and he doesn't make his teammates better.
I seen this dude get punked by the 8th seeded Warriors in the 1st round! Also he was MVP that year when it should have been Lebron.
If he beats Miami this year I may revoke my statement of him being a little overrated but until then I stand by it.

you keep bringing up that playoff series, past is past, so where you not impressed with his consistency during this whole playoffs? if he is an overrated forward then who isn't? i mean i dislike a lot of players in the NBA but I'm not dumb enough to discredit how good they are as a player.Originally Posted by EvansST
Pssh as "unstoppable" Dirk was that year he couldn't "carry the bunch of scrubs" out of the first round against a Warriors team who aren't even together anymore so quit with that noise.
Also maybe nobody has said he's Larry Bird on here but I read/ see/ hear it on every other media outlet.

The problem with that analogy is that Baron Davis was an All Star caliber PG but never had any consistency in his career, Dirk has been consistent his whole career and you are implying everything on 1 series about hi legacy. One Series failure does not make his career a failure or would not diminish any accomplishments he may have had in his career.Originally Posted by EvansST
^ I bring it up because that's his legacy, as of right now, in my eyes. These playoffs, though, he has been an offensive assassin and he's worthy of praise for this season. But some of it is exaggerated.
The praise he's getting reminds me when Baron Davis was getting called the best PG in the game the same year they beat the Mavs in the first round.
Until Dirk wins a ring I'm not getting caught in the moment because as great Dirk has been in his career he still is ringless.
