I might take Peak Dirk, which was the playoffs of 2011.
If you consider that as a peak.
I don't consider it as a peak though, because it was too short of a stretch and was more of a hot streak than a peak to me. That year in the regular season, he was good but not great. And then just four months later, when the next season began he was not great at all.
A peak is a stretch of two years to me. So I'll take Durant in the stretch going back from today to two years ago.

Lets be real none of us nikkas watched Pettit:facepalm :facepalm
Hayes was chucker and Mchale was a 2nd option and black hole whos career was made by Larry and the Cs wings spreading floor for him to iso[/QUOTE]
Duncan Barkley & Malone were unquestionably better IMO. KG> Dirk as well.
Mchale is tough, but id probably leave toward Mchale.
So Duncan, Barkley, Malone, KG, Mchale, Dirk or Hayes.
6th best power forward ain't bad

McHale has no argument over Dirk all time...
And Barkley, KG, Malone, Pettit...are all debatable
Dirk is somewhere between the 2nd and 6th best pf ever
[QUOTE=Draz]Prime Dirk. Guy did it all himself.[/QUOTE]
No he didn't.

How is Malone unquestionably better? Dirk shows up in the playoffs Malone doesnt and he was in system with Stockton and Utah that gaves him alot easy points.
Chuck was one of worst defenders ever even Dirk looks good in comparison but its close
Mchale is barely better than Pau Gasol GTFO here if u think he better than mofukking dirk nowitzki:roll: :roll: :roll:

If Mchale has no argument over Dirk
Then Dirk has no argument over Malone & Barkely who were both clearly better.
KG in his prime was easily better than Dirk in his prime. Garnett was an all around player dominant on both sides of the ball, DPOY, MVP, all defensive teams out the ass. KG was an elite defender, elite playmaker at his position and just overall a better player than Dirk.
Nobody who lived through Malone Duncan & Barkley would ever put Dirk as the 2nd best power forward ever. That spot belongs to Barkley and or Malone
Dirk at best, is 4th all time, and that's if you put him over KG, which if you value defense, rebounding and playmaking..you wouldn't

Disagree, they are not clearly better, it's interchangable. Dirk in his prime is just as good, those guys are all in the 2nd to 5th best PF tier. But to say they are clearly better is just absurd.

Sorry for ****ing up the thread now our quotes are all ****ed up that's my ****ing bad.
[QUOTE=NLZ]Durant... better stats while playing better defense.
Durant is the 2nd best player after LeBron.
Dirk was what, top 6-7? Shaq, Kobe, Wade, Garnett, Duncan etc etc were always better.[/QUOTE]
Weak Era is weak era.

Lol. Kevin Mchale was a solid player, but he's can't take on Prime Pau.

What??? No way, Mchale was way better than Pau, and i really like Pau Gasol but there is no way im putting him over mchale
This is a tough one, as they are both elite scorers. I like KD's rebounding and D, though.
Give me Durant. They both can score a ton, but KD has the scoring titles and is extremely efficient. Not to mention KD rebounds and plays defense better.
