Dirk revolutionized a position and a lot of people think he was never a top two player either. Theres an argument that he wasnt the best player in 2016 thats reasonable after his scoring average and efficency fell in the playoffs the way it did. who else? Mike Dantoni hasnt even made the finals and has never been a top two coach and he undeniably changed the game. Stan in Orlando too. Im not saying either side is right or wrong, but theres a legit reason this thread is so long. The stans and the haters both for a change have very valid points.
There's zero question he was better than KD. Lebron is a whole other standard. But yes KD, he was better than.
Why wasnt he better than lebron in 2016 then?
I'm not saying he wasn't, but that's a reasonable discussion. We saw Curry and KD on the same team. We saw who mattered more to that team. It removed any real doubt.
