I'm having a debate with my roommate(Mavs fan) who is telling me Dirk is the better all time player than Tim Duncan and I am arguing Tim Duncan is one of the best big men in NBA history. Please help me out and tell me who is right.

Your roommate is retarded.

I will say that Nowitzki had the greatest playoffs I've ever seen when they won it all.

I am one of the biggest Dirk fans, and I'll even admit that Duncan is the better all-time player. If we are looking at just best scorer? I would give that to Dirk, but Duncan is the better player

It's closer than most would think. Duncan has a season advantage of Dirk, but Dirk is 2k points ahead. However, Duncan has double Dirk's blocks. Dirk has 100 more steals. Duncan has about 800 more assists. Duncan has about 4000 more rebounds. Dirk is the better FT shooter by over 20%. Same with 3pt %. Overall FG% goes to Duncan by 3%.

Overall Duncan is the better player, but Dirk is definitely the better scorer of the two.

Reminds me of UltimateHog. I bet he'll be done with NBA threads by week 2.

Dirk is the best shooting 7 footer in history, that doesn't make him a better player than Duncan though.

So Dirk is the better player? Because I just said Duncan was. Anyone who says Duncan is a better SCORER than Dirk is full retard. He has 2k more points than Duncan with 1 less season.

Your butthurt over every post next to my username is affecting your ability to read.

Well there are 5 people in this thread that can't read. Unless your opinion is that Dirk is the better player, you agree with me. Because I just said Duncan was the better player. Never go full retard.

And he probably took 10,000 more shots than Duncan.

Considering their overall FG % is separated by 3%, I doubt it.

It MIGHT be the fact that Dirk has made 1,300 3 pointers while Duncan has made less than 30.

Duncan has had the better career, which is not a knock on Dirk since Duncan is probably one of the 10 best players ever by any calculation.

Dirk had one of the best playoff runs I've ever seen.
