Plus I believe because he's Lebron he'll be ale to get away with alot more contact when guarding Dirk, helping to further disrupt his game, because the Refs aren't going to want to send Lebron to the bench. (thats not a shot at the refs screwing the Mavs again, it just the superstar bias)

KD got torched when he was on Dirk though
. Dude could not stop him, and if he tried, he'd get fouls called on him. We'll see..
You can say anyone locked up Dirk....
...When he was a rook. This ain't the same Dirk.

Yes but comparing Lebron's defensive abilities to those of KD is foolishness.

totally agree....
TMac had the ability to lock down 2s and 3s, but once he saw how much he could score he left the defense alone.

I haven't seen anyone stop Dirk that's LeBron's size in a long time.
If anyone, it's going to be Bosh. He's done a very decent job against him in the past.

Bosh is actually a great defender. No one acknowledges this.

So a series from 9 years ago, and another games STAT LINE seal your point?
Baron Davis made Dirk cry when they murked them in the playoffs, so he naturally must have locked him down.
And before you say they didn't play the same position as Dirk, look who did on that warriors team
.
KG owned Dirk early in their careers, post Minny I'll take Dirk. But KG owned Dirk prior. There is no denying that.

It ain't got nothing to do with Baron Davis, you mentioned KG stopping Dirk? Nah.
Dirk did JUST FINE against KG. You don't know what you're talking about.
Was he better than Minny KG? No, that's not what we're talking about. Stopping Dirk?
Not KG.
You can go find a few games where he was off, go ahead. But don't forget to mention the 30 point barrages Dirk tossed at KG.
