Dirk: Kobe was the best player I have ever faced

[AirTupac]

Dirk: "To me, in my 20 years, Kobe was the best offensive, or best player I've seen or faced"



Dirk shitting on Lebron since 2011 :lol

[AirTupac]

BUT STATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - kids who are under 20 and never even made highschool bball :lol

[Bankaii]

This pretty much solidifies that no matter how good the player is, their talent evaluation is trash.

Dirk faced off with peak Shaq, you wanna tell me Kobe is a better offensive/overall player than that lmao?

who needed more help to win - shaq or kobe?

therein lies the rub... and that's the main issue with any player comparison - who needed less help?

Exactly. Shaq was way better than Kobe.

Exactly. Shaq was way better than Kobe.
at what?

shooting?

passing?

scoring?

his on/off was better because he takes up space, but Kobe allowed a higher ceiling and better team - Shaq never won until he played with players of Kobe's caliber and peak Wade

Kobe needed Shaq to win 3 rings.

[superduper]

Kobe needed Shaq to win 3 rings.

Shaq needed Kobe to win 3 rings.

Far as I can recall he was a perennial dust bin before getting his career bailed out by Kobe.

Yeah, not really.

Shaq's rookie year...bottom dweller to .500.
Second year...first playoff series in franchise history.
Third year...first NBA Finals in franchise history.
Fourth year...bounced from the ECFs by the GOAT.
After all that, Orlando decided not to pay him because he and Penny were both bitchy boys.

Meanwhile, Kobe sat for his first two seasons behind Van Exel and Eddie Jones.

Kobe is the best player of Dirk's career it's that simple no matter how hard you try to twist it.
So you’re saying peak Kobe > peak Shaq?
Yes or no.

At least you Kobetards aren’t dumb enough to actually say it:oldlol:

If anything peak Dirk didn't face peak Shaq so he's not commenting on that.
