Re: How many years of Dirk over Peak Dwight?
Dwight was a psychological midget. I'll take any Dirk from 2002-2011 just for the better impact of his personality on the team.
In the modern game the case for any prime Dirk becomes even stronger. Few past players would have benefitted more from playing today than Dirk. His PPG would go up while his TS% would rise massively.

Re: How many years of Dirk over Peak Dwight?
I was gonna go 03-11’ but in 02’ Dirk was already a phenomenal playoff player. He out-dueled KG and held his own vs a much better Kings team. In that first extended playoff run he averaged 28/13/2/2 on 60ts. So I’d take Dirk over Dwight as soon as he became a superstar. There were some up and downs over the course of his prime but I’ll always take the guy who can take over offensively and was liked by his teammates.

Basically most of 03-12 if not all, 05-11 at least

Re: How many years of Dirk over Peak Dwight?
Well, as we seem to be high on Dirk and/or low on Dwight, I'll pitch in something a little more favourable to Dwight and say that there are only 3-5 years of Dirk I'd take over peak Howard. Like '06-'07, '11, maybe one or two others.
