Dude rented a chip when the Western conference was undergoing a change of guards & more importantly when Bron was Missing In Action....that was it.....Dirk lead team are infamous for collapsing under pressure not winning. Again all I'm asking in one playoff run in to validated the 2011 chip. But yet it's been 3 years & dude still hasn't won a single post-season game let alone a series which I believe is an accomplishment all by itself.

I need cats to acknowledge KG is a better player than Dirk.
-Just an equally EFFICIENT scorer as Dirk (Dirk is a better shooter)
-Better Leader
-Better defender
-Makes teammates better (just ask Wally/Troy Hudson/Perk... et al)
-Has more intangibles
-Never let Matt Barnes check him in the post

KG won DOPY & was a perennial while Dirk is being called out by his owner about "taking a nap on defense" (http://www.star-telegram.com/2014/03/17/5657430/mavericks-notes-mark-cuban-calls.html)

And you're telling despite what's listed above Dirk shooting 40% in the Finals while Terry closed out the series against a Heat team that was led by Milk Carton status Bron makes Dirk a better player. Not to mention his history of choking while playing along side a future MVP & multiple All-Stars.
