Title: Who had a better NBA Career? Paul Pierce or Dirk Nowitzki?
Post by: AlphaMaleDawg on February 15, 2013, 03:41:26 PM
I was debating this with my friend the other day and neither of us could really give a definitive answer. Both are obvious first ballot hall of famers who won a championship.

So let's say only one was allowed in the HOF, which one gets in first?

That's good one.

I'd have to go with Dirk. Much more unique and better at what he did. a 7 footer that can shoot from anywhere.

Both were great for so many years. Dirk was a great clutch player but Pierce was one of the best clutch assassin's I have ever seen in my generation. Both were in the playoffs mostly every year. Teammates were about equal so I guess that's a wash. Both excellent shooters.

Hardest comparison ever

Good comparison bro. You can make an argument either way and be right.

I don't know nor do I care but all this recent horse-shitting concerning "is LeBron as good as / better than Jordan?????" is obviously raised by imbeciles who have forgotten or never saw just how good Jordan was.

He was like watching a super-hero come to life.

Paul Pierce was great but Dirk was one of a kind. Nobody ever did what he did at 7 feet. Something tells me if Dallas had to do over that draft again they would stick with the German.

They should do every other player now and for the rest of time a favor and not compare them to Jordan. They are just gonna look foolish compared to Micheal Jeffery Jordan.

The real impressive thing about Jordan to me is that pro basketball is a young man's game.  He came back after being out of the league for almost two years and still dominated it while being well into his 30s.

He was probably on PED but they all were ;D

Because once he didn't have the same spring in his legs he still had something Lebron doesn't have. A jumper

Which is why I can't stand people who only can dunk, or can't do free throws...you have to have a complete "game", when one skill set demenishes, you can rely on the other.

Dirk all day long.  He changed the way big men play...you never saw a 7 footer shoot outside the low post before Dirk.  He was also the most successful overseas player we have seen, and a big reason for the game's growth in Europe.  He led his team to a championship, Pierce was second,aunt third, fiddle in the original "big three".  Pierce is an obvious HOFer, but no way over Dirk.

Just Dallas' record since Dirk has been there speaks volumes. Over the past decade they have consistently played .600 to .700 ball and were consistently going deep in the playoffs.

Sometimes I feel sad watching how hard they are trying to make Leborn a superstar .. he never has and never will be Jordan.

it s like in bodybuilding

body without personality is nothing

james has a big druged up body and overpowers most of his defenders

 but he has not many skills he looks so dumb in his face and he has ZERO personality

the Jordan generation was so great because they tried to act sane  like normal (white) people, no tatoos, clothing style, way they talk

take olajuwon, drexler, ewing, even barkley, all had class and personality



since there are just getho blacks left in the nba and even the whithe boys try to act like niggas to be "cool" it s all embarassing and going downhill

like 80s and 90s bodybuilders haney, yates, sonbaty compared to heath and shit of today

I have a problem with Lebron ion terms of pure performance .. dude is good but not an icon .. period. He is not the guy who wins championships etc etc ... Kobe is much better IMO.

You can't be that fucking stupid.

Actually, Dexter is quite a distinguished gentle, requested a trade from portland when jerome cursey(?) and the other dumb blazers were getting into BULLSHIT, partying with teen girls.  One of my cousins went to Xavier Univ with is wife, who is a pretty successful Houston Attorney.

He is not the prolific scorer MJ was nor do I think he will win as many championships, which like it or not is how players like him are ranked against each other historically.  Whether that's fair or not is another debate.

MJ and Kobe have the ability to WIN. That means doing whatever WHEN it is clutch time. Lebronze, cannot .. they teamed him up with 2 other stars to squeeze a championship. Even in the Olympics he did not shine all that bright. Oh well ... generatio hip hop

I am a Huge Jordan fan and will stand by the idea that the Jordan, Barkley, Ewing , Hakeem NBA is better "fundamentally" than the current product but if anyone doesnt think Lebron James will end up going down as one of the all-time greats, you may have ingested way too much man spew and you know nothing about basketball

He will def go down as an all time great, dont think anyone is arguing otherwise. Would he even be top 3 in Jordan's era though? I think prime Barkley would put a whuppin on Lebron. Barkley was a beast

Why of course everyone is a Jordan fan ::) yes he is the best but never liked the dude, prefer football over basketball overall, of course growing up in Laker land basketball was the main sport

College and pro football is where it's at 8)

Fuck Jordan. I am over in Celtic country so it's always been Bird for me. That said of course I am gonna say Jordan is the best because he simply was. Oh yeah, fuck the Lakers too

Ah man you're a Celts fan? Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, John Starks, Derek Harper, Anthony Mason, Charles Smith and the NY Knicks. I grew up on those boys. Fucking Jordan and Hakeem had to rob them of a title though. The Celtics were nobodies in the 90s until they regained their glory.
