wtf does that even mean?
I'm saying KG has carried his team like Dirk did and more, but didnt win a ring due to lack of support? How does that go both ways when Dirk has always had the better teams when both were in the West?

Jason Terry was his second option in 2011

And Tyson Chandler was his defensive anchor.

KG had Sprewell and Cassell.
Who didn't even play in the WCF.

Dirk clearly had better teams for most of his career. However, for most of his runs, those teams were a) not clear championship material, and b) did Dirk's teammates not step up for a lot of his runs. Terry is a great example for that. He had a history of making a disappearing act in the years prior to 2011.
Why are KG fans so sensitive? I'm not even railing on Garnett, just putting things into focus.

I think Garnett was a better player in the sense that he always had a larger influence over the game as a whole - but Dirk was a unique talent and I can see why some would take him over Garnett.

Not sure what the facepalm is for, since Sprewell and Cassell both played very well in the playoffs. Infact, both played much better as individuals in 2004 in the playoffs than any of Nowitzki's teammates in 2011 did individually.

Cassell did play in the WCF.
He played like 2 games in the series. And he was hobbled in those games. They had Derrick Martin starting at PG for most of the series (although KG took over most of the ball handling responsibilities).

I know.
I should have clarified into that from what you just said, but saying he didn't play wasn't true.
If Cassell was healthy, they probably would have won the series.

They did play great but Dirk had a wealth of depth on his team. A bunch of specialist. Dirk had perimeter defenders in Kidd,Stevenson and Marion. He had a defensive anchor in Chandler.
KG had Spree,Cassell,Wally and some hustle players. Just god awful depth on that squad in comparison to Dirk 2011 team.
