Dirk has played alongside 6 all stars, Lebron has had 11, Duncan 13, Kobe 15

So Duncan, Kobe, and lebron had far better supporting casts yet the Almighty got it done with half the talent.

Lol because all the all-stars they played with were in their prime and on the same team at the same time right?

That list was all stars who played alongside them. In other words they were all stars at that exact time playing alongside those respective players.

Right ok, so it makes sense that they've all won more than Dirk then right?

So you're saying more all-stars = more rings?

If you do it like that, I bet Dirk is even lower.
Just by guessing...
Dirk: Josh Howard for one year, 40 year old Kidd for a year, Steve Nash prePhoenix for 2 years? Who else has he played with?

The only guy in his prime he played with was Josh Howard, and that guy is almost forgotten about permanently from NBA history only a decade later.

Kobe: Prime Shaq( a top 5 player all-time) for nearly a decade in his BEST years, and prime Gasol in his best years as well. Consistantly the top frontcourt in the NBA on his team... Also was always irrelevant without Phil "11 rings" Jackson coaching his team.

LeBron: Prime Wade, prime Bosh, prime Irving, prime Love.... maybe in his first cleveland stint this guy would be on par with dirk, but shit not no more.

Duncan: David Robinson(still good but not prime), prime Parker Ginobili Kawhi Leonard for entireity of careers, Popovich for entirity of career who is probably the best coach of all-time.

We all know 2011 was a fluke though

If Wade didnt choke Dirk would still be ringless

[Funktion]

Who besides Shaq, Dwight, Pau, has Kobe played with who were All Stars with Lakers? Bynum?

2 rings in the East on a superteam=negative 3 rings out West

Dallas creampied everyone that season and swept Miami in the regular season (holding Lebron to 31% shooting overall). That was no fluke. No sir.

Dirk has played with exactly two all-stars in the last 13 years.
Josh Howard(2006)
Jason Kidd(2010) age 36

And to be honest Josh Howard only made the team because the Mavericks almost won 70 games that year. The best regular season team almost always has 2-3 all-stars no matter what. Didn't they give the Hawks 4 last year?

Eddie Jones, NVE and Bynum. Can't think of anyone else without looking

Dirk supporting cast throughout the years:

Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
Michael Finley
Antwan Jamison
Antoine Walker
Tyson Chandler
Jason Terry
Josh Howard
Devin Harris
Shawn Marion
Peja Stojakovic
Jerry Stackhouse
Nick Van Exel
Juwan Howard

That's at least 14 All-star level players with a couple of future HOFs to boot.
