Lol, Dirk never had an era brah. A bad Finals performance and humiliating first round defeat does not constitute an "era"

Dirk's era comes without flashlights and magaziner covers, its quiet, shy, almost secret... bringing a different side of the German presentation to Americans but they still didnt appreciate him yet.

Surely he was the best player in '06, least we can agree on that, no?

Imo Wade & Kobe were better in '06. How I'd break it down

Based on titles
Shaq: '00-'02
Duncan: '03-'07
Kobe: '08-'10
LeBron: '11-'16

Based on individual play
Shaq: '00-'02
Duncan: '03-'05
Kobe: '06-'08
LeBron: '09-'16

Seriously. If that wasn't Kobe's defining period then you could go either Nash / Wade. Certainly not Dirk. And there is an argument for 2009 or 2010 belonging to Kobe given the way the playoffs ended the seasons.

How is it both Kobe and Wade though?

Wade strictly on play? Okay...

but giving Kobe the edge based on being in his prime, experience, hardship, etc. then Dirk should get that same edge.

But to me Dirk was the best of the bunch in the regular season, and even with the bad finals, still put up a historic win share post-season, showing he amazing he was before.

LeBron pinned kennethgriffin's ISH account to the backboard.

[tmacattack33]

Please don't mention a top 12-15 player like Kobe with the runner up GOAT.

And ever since 2010, Kobe was not even a top 5 players of the league (besides a great bounce back year in 2012 or whatever it was, after the germany surgery), so from 2010 to 2015 it was already the Lebron and Durant era.

Last year, Curry improved and turned joined those two at the top.

So:

2000-2005: Shaq/Duncan/KG
2006-2010: Lebron/Kobe/Wade
2011-2015: Lebron/Durant
2015 and current: Lebron/Durant/Curry

...and sprinkled into the above were some great individual season's of greatness like CP3 2008 and Dirk 2011.

I agree with most of this post, but you're a fool if you don't think Kobe was top 5 in 2012, and 2013.
