>Sczerbiak was way better than Korver, what are you talking >about? Korver can't even dribble. Ohhhh, how could have I discounted Wally's handles & ability to create shots for himself. I will take Ryan Anderson over Wally 7 days of the week.
>I guess Spree, Cassell, >Smith, don't count? I did mention 2004....the year KG took down C-Webb & the mighty Kings. Not to mention Spree/Cassell were on the wrong side of 30 at that time & Cassell was playing injured the whole post-season.
>Garnett got swept by Dirk's Mavs. How you gonna get swept? KG was playing w/ Sam muphuckin' Mitchell while Dirk had Finley/Nash/Van Exel...besides didn't Bean get swept by Dirk.
>Plus, his game wasn't conducive to being a >>crunch time scorer. He was basically 7ft version of Bron who >>did much more than just score. > >LOL @ "a 7ft version of Bron". You gettin that good dro, huh? uhhhhhh...folks are going goo-goo ga-ga over Joakim, when KG already did everything Noah is doing right now & while averaging 20+PPG not just one year but throughout his prime.
>On the other hand Dirk was paid >>to simply score just like Hibbert is paid to man the >>paint......& he failed miserably on the grandest of stages >on >>multiple occasion. > >Except for the time he didn't and won as the first option, >something Garnett never could do. Based on that logic then Billups is better than KG.
>>KG showed everyone what he was capable when surrounded by >>decent side kicks in 2004 & yet again in 2008. > >Garnett was one of the sidekicks when he won it all. It's a team game; dude manned up on defense & played selfless on offense. It wasn't like Pierce/Ray were CONSISTENT offensively throughout the 2008 post-season. Dirk also shot 40% in the Finals & won Finals MVP by default although he was outplayed by Wade & JET was the one the closed out the series.
>I'm not making excuses for Dirk, I can't stand him. KG is just >a worse person and basketball player. KG never talked shit to anyone through the social media unlike today's so called superstars, he talked smack ON THE COURT & backed it up....it ain't like he was muphukin' Kendrick Perkins. Everyone that played w/ KG has said he was a great teammate (unlike Bean & em) it's not his job to baby the opponent.
I don't see folks complaining about Joakim talking constant smack on the court. GP did it, Reggie did it......a bunch of hall-of-famers did it.
