Is Dirk the most overrated player on ISH?

[Connor B]

He has 1 MVP, 1 ring/FMVP.



That's it. He has had several good-great teams in Dallas, back with Nash and some of the more recent ones. They blew the 2006 finals (yeah, D-Wade got all those calls, but its absurd they lost 4 straight WITH homecourt advantage), blew 2007 round 1. Are we gonna act like Dirk's play didn't contribute to that? He didn't even have a good finals series against Miami, he was shooting around 41%.


Yet people worship him on here. Why?

[Smook A.]

No wtf he barely gets talked about over here

[russwest0]

Preach!

[smoovegittar]

The way everyone goes on about ringless KD, I'd say no.

[dr.hee]

Yeah, the NBA forum is full of threads about Dirk. Clearly he's the most overrated player on this site. Nice job by OP

Seems to be pretty accurately ranked somewhere around the top 20 all time.

And who is even talking about him this season on any front? Nobody on ESPN. Nobody here is talking much about him having an overall fantastic season in year 16 of his career...he has dipped noticeably the last few games though.

21/6/3 60% TS and 13 games games over .500...and not much of a mention. Kind of reminds me of Duncan's season last year...nobody was talking much about it...just more of the same from one of the best players ever.

[J Shuttlesworth]

WTF? I would think he's underrated on here if anything. Nobody talks about him unless he's beating LeBron/Wade

[fpliii]

Karl Malone, Clyde Drexler, and Isiah Thomas are more overrated IMO.

11 Finals is definitely overrated. Outplayed by DWade except for a couple of 4th quarters.

His 11 playoffs as a whole were insane though.

[r0drig0lac]

no, this has to be chris paul

[Basketbolero]

How the hell is he overrated when no one talks about him?

He is only mentioned when trolls bring up 2011 finals, 2006 finals or their 1st round loss to GS.

Exactly...posted this in another thread earlier;

Last 14 seasons for each player (not counting this year for Kobe)

Regular season

Kobe 28/6/5 55.6% TS 24.1 PER
Dirk 24/9/3 58.4% TS 24.2 PER

Playoffs

Kobe 28/5/5 54.3% TS 23.0 PER
Dirk 26/10/3 58.4% TS 24.7 PER

And Kobe played with better help over that time...even including the shit 06 and 07 teams.

When both were off the court;

Lakers were - 1.5 without Kobe during that time
Mavs were - 3.6 without Dirk during that time

But yea...he's way over-rated...

[Dro]

Umm...Honestly? I would probably say Kobe.....
