Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1032302, member: 1674"] Personally, I'd go Dirk. Garnett is pretty close, but I don't have much hesitation picking Dirk. At the end of the day, Dirk was a bonafide go-to player that carried his team to an NBA title. Garnett was always better off as a #2 guy that anchored a defense. That's a great role to have, and it's good enough to put him among the best PFs to play the game, but Dirk could take it to a level that Garnett couldn't really replicate IMO. Dirk was also better in the playoffs, even if his teams weren't always successful, and his one run to the title was one of the greatest we will ever see. Also, people can't argue both that Garnett was better because his supporting casts were crap and also argue about how impressive the volume of his numbers are. If he played with better teams, he never would have averaged close to 5 assists a game. [/QUOTE]
