You do realize that Chris did say that Dirk was a great player and is not taking anything away from him right? Don't be ignorant and just Cherry Pick What you want to hear
Exactly. We just gonna forget about the MVP and Finals MVP Dirk got? We just forget about him having the best record in the NBA for like 2 seasons? That never happened? We just gonna forget about him defeating Prime lebron, Wade and Bosh without home court advantage? Chris just mad 😡 his championship choice in 2011 lost
For the record Rob, it was Kobe, Pau & Bynum…KD, James, and Russ…then LBJ, D-Wade, & Bosh. 7 of those 8 will be in the Hall of Fame. STILL, probably the most underrated run to the Chip we’ve seen in 30-40 years. Dirk was a one-man band, with a jump shot!
Bynum didn't even play 60 games & he was the FOURTH best player on the Lakers. Bynum did not emerge into a great player until the following season & even that was short lived due to injuries & his immaturity. The fact that you even tried to elevate Bynum to the same level as OKC trio with KD, Russ, & Harden or Miami's trio with LeBron, Wade, & Bosh is absolutely hilarious!
@@atlien1988Bynum still played but he would have been better off sayin Lamar Odom lol it wasn’t a big three that year it was Kobe and Pau and whoever else decided to have a good game lol
I wasn’t trying to make an apples to apples comparison, but Kobe having Pau and Bynum was the advantage that we had over most teams. I forgot about Lamar, but Pau and Bynum were out “twin towers” with Kobe. Because they couldn’t play perimeter defense, Dirk killed us! The rest is history.
Chris hates Dirk because Cuban exposed Broussard’s lies about DeAndre Jordan to the point where Chris had to apologize. And Dirk destroyed his darling Lebron’s big 3 all by himself
It's hilarious how players with little to no resume becomes better than ones with as lengthy as a career of 14+ years of being a top player all because their box score. Luka plays in an inflated stat era as a playmaker (ballhog) while Dirk played in a more difficult era as a scorer
There was always a strange animosity by him towards Nowitzki. Maybe other comments are right as to why that is and if you've listened to this show long enough you can definitely say he's been hating for a while now.
On this topic I am fine with his arguments. But Chris is a dirk hater. He didn't value his game and his career. He has him way lower than the average by his own words. Chris never takes shots and 99% he swims with public opinion. Dirk is the 1%.
Luka is an amazing talent but he has not passed Dirk yet. Dirk is an NBA legend not just Dallas great. Champion, finals MVP and NBA MVP only 35 players can say that and he’s one of them. He did that with prime Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, KG etc..
He played there for 21 years and didnt win until he was 32 , meaning u cant write luka off yet , he got to the finals at a younger age as well , no doubt he will eventually get a mvp or 3 , its inevitable , anyone writing Luka off as being the goat mav eventually is in denial and stuck in the past , doesnt discredit Dirk’s great career
@@moneyman4740 bro ... Dirk revolutionized the power forward position. He was doing things 7 footers were not supposed to be able to do. Luka, as nice as he is, ain't that lol.
2011 definitely saved his legacy because he was seen as someone who couldn’t get it done in every other season he played. Blowing a 2-0 lead in the finals when they was up in game 3 in 06 then losing that 07 series where the Mavs was the 1 seed and he was the MVP and got blown out by the 8th seed Warriors was Nasty. People forget he was labeled a choker before that championship.
@@withallduerespect5258 bro... Dirk had the Mavs in championship contention for more than a damn decade in the Wild West conference that was the most competitive conference in the history of basketball. Every superstar has their blemishes unless you're Michael Jordan. Calling Dirk a choker at that time wouldn't have been fair
@@ronniekregar3482 look up that 07 series when they was the 1 seed and tell me he ain’t choke to the Warriors his MVP year. They was up 2-0 in the finals then lost 4 straight. Let’s not act like he ain’t have that can’t get it done label for years. 2011 cleared all that talk out because he had an all time great run.
Come on Chris you acting like Dirk was almost trash or something. Luka still got more work to do in my opinion to be considered all time greatest maverick.
Oh he’s very close , as great as Dirk was lets not forget he had a few choke jobs before he even got that ring , 1 of the greatest if not the greatest finals run ever but Luka is generational and has a chance to do it
Dirk is GREATER than Luka as a Mav. Obviously. Achievements. Luka, even Dirk says so, is the best Mavs player ever. Talent, Skill and potential. Luka with time and accomplishments should eventually pass Dirk as the greatest Mav ever.
This is a terrible analogy. LeBron had a STORIED career and championships before he even touched down in LA, and he's currently the oldest player in the league by far. Luka was drafted by the Mavs and has already had a VERY impressive start to his career, and he's young af. If you compare Luka at his current age to Dirk when he was Luka's age, sorry but it's not even close.
Lol, Helllllll No.....If Luka wants to pass Dirk, he's got a lot of work to put in. Dirk revolutionized the power forward position, Luka got a long way to go
Chris B and JKidd need to put some respect on Dirk's name!! Dirk carried on his back with Kidd hanging on, too, for that team to win that chip! Chris is always hating on Dirk!
Dirk played 21 seasons with the Mavs, took them to 2 finals, won 1 against Lebron and Wade while carrying the team on his back, finals MVP. Can’t disrespect Dirk like that. But Luka is #2 so no knock to him.
It’s not. Dirk is a legend and greatest Mav ever. But he was a below average rebounder for his size and not a phenomenal passer. Barkley was just as dominant of scorer, plus better rebounder and passer. Barkley could’ve won a ring if he didn’t play in Jordan era.
Dirk took the Mavs to 2 NBA finals appearances. They lost the first one to D Wade, Shaq and the Heat after being up 2-0 in the series. Then there was 2011..when he all but carried that Mavs squad to there lone NBA title in franchise history (thus far) going through: Kobe and the 2 time defending champion Lakers, a YOUNG up and coming Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and the OKC Thunder, and finally, prime LeBron James, Wade, Chris Bosh and the super team of the decade Miami Heat. That's a combined 6 top 75 all-time players that Dirk and the Mavs defeated in route to the title. And another 2 HOF's in Pau Gasol and Chris Bosh. With his 2nd best teammate being Jason Terry. Plus Dirk has a league MVP, which Luka has yet to win one. Even IF Luka wins the title, He STILL has ground to cover to match, let alone surpass Dirk Nowitzki.
Best PLAYER don't mean team. They basically asking who is better Dirk or Luka. Luka CLEARLY putting up waaaaay better numbers than Dirk. They not asking about dirk and the team ! Ain't no way if yall had to start a team off between Dirk and Luka that yall picking Dirk first
My question to Broussard is, if Karl Malone and Charles Barkley really are better than Dirk, then would they have won a championship with the Dallas Maverick's if you replaced Dirk with one of them?
Chris does have an established history of hating on Dirk, but this is the first time I’ve heard anyone question him as to why and if there’s actually any reason behind it. His cluelessness at the line of questioning spoke volumes and simply confirmed what most of the comment section already knew - well done Rob for probing him on it 👏🏾
As a Lakers fan, Dirk was annoying AF because he was KD before KD. That Step back was unstoppable. His IQ was high too. Luka has a higher average because of the 3 point era we’re in. If Dirk had the green light to shoot 10-15 3’s a night, a career 38% from 3, he’d average around 27-32 points per game. Chris, “Stoooooop iiiiiiiiiiitttt”
He does, but he'll need to win a title and keep at his pace for quite a while to surpass Dirk. Ronaldo Blackman actually gets very overlooked in terms of the history of great Mavericks
@@dirknowitzki3891 I mean we aren't talking about the best player, we are talking about the greatest mav. Thats why no one can surpass kobe as the greatest laker, or tim duncan as the greatest spur. To be what dirk was to dallas, he needs to double his chips, and play for the same amount of time with the mavs.
Beating the Kobe/Pau/Bynum/Odom Lakers going for the threepeat, the up and coming, KD/Russ/Harden Thunder, then the LeBron/Wade/Bosh Heat (the Trailblazers with Aldridge/Roy were not bad as well)...with no big star next to him but a very good team, probably one of the most incredible runs I've seen from anyone in sports by Dirk.
I feel like this is an overreaction all he said is he has a CHANCE to be the best maverick ever witch ovbs he does he already has more 1st team all NBAs imo he is better then Dirk no offense to Dirk he’s an all time legend but I think Luka will probably be a top 10 player ever
Definitely worth mentioning that Lukas playing in an era where scoring has never been easier so talking about his scoring average should have an asterisk beside it when comparing it to players before 2015. I mean hell go back another 10 years or so before that it was even more harder to score.
Man has a statue, has been to 2 finals, won 1, finals mvp, & regular season mvp. Let's pump the brakes. Luka has all the talent & momentum, sure, but let's not claim he's there just yet.
The Olajuwon hate is unreal. Hakeem is one of the absolute greatest players of all time. He just never had the teammates but still got 2. He had the most decorated season of all time. Did you know at age 36, Hakeem averaged only 1.5 ppg less than Curry at age 36
Sure, Luka is a better player than Dirk, but Dirk is the greatest Maverick of all-time. What he did during his 21 seasons with the team was incredible when making the finals twice and winning a championship and finals MVP, also a regular MVP, which Luka does not have, but Chris thinks that Luka is the greatest Maverick? Chris Broussard, cut it out!
The bar was so much lower for Dirk. So for Dirk to go through the West in his first 11-12 years was stupid. Dirk didn't have super high expectations and raised the bar for himself. As a MAVERICK, Dirk is a GIANT. Luka had high expectations coming from the Euro space. Winning 1 ring doesn't make him the greatest MAVERICK, he would need to embrace the city and play for the city for his whole career and win way more. Saying someone is the greatest *INSERT TEAM*, you gotta be a part of the culture in the city. Dirk stayed and could have left; Luka could leave in like 2 or 3 years with one ring, but that isn't gonna cut it.
Chris "Prisoner of the Moment" Broussard with another hot take. Forgetting that Kyrie is also a Maverick and making Luka thrive. Crown him the best in his 15th year.
Dirk was up against Tim Duncan and KG for the all nba teams. Luka doesn’t have as good competition at his position thus far. The best of his generation is Joker. Other than Joker there isn’t that same generational talent that Dirk was going up against during his prime.
Great point. Although I think eventually Shai and ant edwards and others will be HUGE competition and will be looked at as great players ALL TIME later in they careers. They currently are not even close to being on the level as Timmy or KG yet though. I believe eventually Shai and edwards will be all time greats at some point
@@ronniekregar3482 you’re not wrong, Dirk went through a GAUNTLET. I’m just saying the competition in the modern era is no slouch or easy by no means especially in the west. NOT COMPARABLE to kobe, timmy, or KG in any way though.
@@bigdubs4444 yea, no doubt... I'm just saying for people that didn't get to see the early 2000's West, how insanely stacked that conference was. There were teams in the West that didn't even make the playoffs that would have literally been like the 2 seed in the East lol. It was insane lol
I’m 41 years old and lived in Dallas my entire life. I’m not going to get into heavy details and write out a long paragraph but team success has alot of variables that go into it. With that being said, it’s not even close, Luka is wayyyyyyyyyy better then Dirk.
Chris really is a prisoner of the moment lol this guy man he just doesn't get it. Current Luka doesn't stand a chance against prime Lebron, prime D Wade and Prime Chris Bosh try again Chris. Talk louder next time maybe you'll get your point across lol Jesus man let Luka cook when he wins he will be right on Dirks tail but he still gotta get some MVPs and then we can have a serious talk.
MVP is not a serious award. It’s not given to the best player in the world anymore. 2017 Rus was CLEARLY not the best player. When Joel won it JOKIC was CLEARLY the best player in the league next to Giannis. The award has lost all meaning. Also kobe is in a lot of peoples top 10 and he has ONE MVP. Shows you how fake the award is
@@bigdubs4444 buddy you're still not getting the point he literally hasn't won anything yet lol. Regardless of what you think MVP is still the most prestigious award given in the NBA. Even though I agree not every year they get it correct but I'd say 70-80% of the time it is correct. Hence why Jokic has 3 and Giannis has 2 the last 6 seasons they got it correct for the most part besides the embiid season.
@@edgybravo4287 Not it’s not you’re just wrong. The most “prestigious” award is winning the Larry O brain Trophy. Again Kobe had ONE MVP if that’s ur end all be all when you judge a player… you’re doing it wrong. You have a very misguided view of MVPS and there importance. Luka has accomplished a LOT 5 all nba teams at 25 and has made it to the WCF two of the last three. When he was FINALLY given a decent team he took them to the finals. He’s not on dirks level with LEGACY but he’s accomplished A TON especially individually this early in his career… Just stop
@@edgybravo4287 also Charles Barkley didn’t win more than Luka (neither has a championship) so you must have a very low view on his career. HIS MVP most people would argue should’ve gone to Jordan as well…. So do you think he hasn’t accomplished anything?
A champ is a champ. Dirk wasn't after individual records but was willing to sacrifice this to reach the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP with the help of his teammates.🎉 Chris should stop his nonsense talk in disrespecting Dirk. Luka is a talented player but still has to prove himself as a team player.
First time Luka gets a decent team, a new 3,4,5 this year and Luka has them right back to the WCF's and now the NBA FINALS! Luka the best player in the NBA and a Winner with whoever he has on his team! This team been together less than 6 months and we bout to battle the best team in the NBA! And I got Mavs in 6, maybe 5 or 4 if refs call a fair game!
I look at Dirks competition through his career. young KG, Webber, Rasheed, Shaq, Yao, Duncan, Kobe, KD, Aldridge, Zeebo, Pau, Shawn Marion, staudomire, shareef Abdurahim, David West,…. this is all in the west Luca hasn’t been battle tested like this. Dirk had a real fight every night and had to prove himself because no one respected him at the beginning of his career. Chris stop the BS please.
Nobody should ever say Luka is better than Dirk unless Luka is done playing alright? As of now It’s Dirk. Thank you Rob for pointing that out. They are disrespecting the guy that put Dallas on the map won a championship. Luka is the better player but overall he’s not there yet.
Dirk got big win seasons though. And Dirk never played with a player quite as good as Kyrie. Young Nash was close but too early to be calling Luka top 10
It takes a lot to win a championship. Just ask CP3, Chuck, Malone, etc. If making it to the Finals doesn't change how you look at a player, then winning it shouldn't either. I get that it's the ultimate goal but you don't suddenly become better than someone else by winning a few more games. Luka will probably have a more successful career than Dirk but at this moment, title or no, he's not a greater player than Dirk. See me when his career is closer to the end and we'll have a legit discussion.
Ceiling yes, but he hasn't proven his game can win anything. He's only got the better running mate with a finals meltdown since Dirks statue. Dirks harder road champonship and mvp. Premature.
It’s not just rings Chris!! But rings is what you bring up with the MJ vs Bron debate 🤦♂️. I’m not saying who’s better than whoever. But you can’t pick and choose when to use the ring as your argument.
Yall need to stop calling out Chris on how he doesn’t hate on lebron. Wouldn’t it make sense for Chris to prop up Dirk to strengthen lebrons case for winning? You guys are irrational
I think now we can agree that Luka is the better player, but Dirk is the greater Maverick. You can be better at something and not necessarily greater than another person.
It really just depends if Luka stays long enough that we only associate him with the Mavs. Like no one actually believes Lebron is one of the all time greatest Lakers, even though he's in the all time greatest player discussion.
Dirk has the hardest ring in recent memory. Even if Luka wins, Dirk would still be the best Maverick. Don't forget Luka is playing alongside a guy who's considered the most skilled player of all time. Dirk never had a teammate on that level in the playoffs.
Dirk deserves his flowers. But he just had to focus on scoring that playoff run. He didn’t need to anchor the defense or be a playmaker. He had one role and that was to score. Kobe , Lebron, Jordan and even Curry had to do multiple things on the court to win their rings.
Chris just said LeBron was the better player in miami but wade won championship and stayed etc so mr heat is dwade... Then he makes the same argument for Luka and switches the logic 😭
People like Broussard need to pump the brakes on the Dirk slander. Man was an absolute beast and one of the most impressive playoff runs in history
You do realize that Chris did say that Dirk was a great player and is not taking anything away from him right? Don't be ignorant and just Cherry Pick What you want to hear
I think Luka will be better, but in this moment, he's not yet.

Luka has a higher average because of the 3 point era we’re in. If Dirk had the green light to shoot 10-15 3’s a night, a career 38% from 3, he’d average around 27-32 points per game.
Chris, “Stoooooop iiiiiiiiiiitttt”
the mavs run that dirk took them on was arguably the best in history. brou needs to ease on the hate
Yes, Chris on point ,
Luka to me is better than Dirk.
“ The best player …. that the mavs have ever had ? It’s Luka “ man that just sounds to early to say
That 2011 Dallas run was top 5 championship
They asked him a hypothetical question
The disrespect on Dirk is crazy! I like Luka, but I don’t give a flying cheeseburger with extra pickles about all the stats if we don’t win a title
Luka should go down in history as a better player if all goes to plan but Dirk is a legend.
Agreed. Luka may have better "skills" and may be able to do things Dirk didnt but Dirk is all around legend esp in Dallas
Got to say, Rob been on fire with his takes recently 🔥
He does, but he'll need to win a title and keep at his pace for quite a while to surpass Dirk. Ronaldo Blackman actually gets very overlooked in terms of the history of great Mavericks
Rolando Blackman should not be forgotten.
Mark Aguirre is more overlooked. He was their first true franchise player.
@@Doknot-tb9ey Neither should Mark Aguirre.
Already surpassed him
@@terrellbaker1660 You're right and I can't believe his jersey has not been retired for the Mavericks.
Even if he wins dirks a life time Maverick Luka ain't the greatest Mav after his cereer is over then we will see
Luka Magic baby! They are gonna win it all. Luka is gonna go down as one of the best ever
Nope boston in 6
Agreed
No he needs to win 2 titles AND play 20 years with the mavs to be greater than dirk as a mav.
Idk about 20 years but Luka needs a chip and MVP to top Dirk
@@dirknowitzki3891 Wsg Dirk
@@dirknowitzki3891 No even that he needs to double it!! Lol
That's the only way he's going to be able too claim that 💯
@@dirknowitzki3891 I mean we aren't talking about the best player, we are talking about the greatest mav. Thats why no one can surpass kobe as the greatest laker, or tim duncan as the greatest spur. To be what dirk was to dallas, he needs to double his chips, and play for the same amount of time with the mavs.
Dirk had no other All stars on his team in 2011...the run Dirk had in 2011 was incredible.
why is Chris defensive when asked if he has history with Dirk😅
People definitely forget the hard ass path Mavs had to win that 🏆
Beating the Kobe/Pau/Bynum/Odom Lakers going for the threepeat, the up and coming, KD/Russ/Harden Thunder, then the LeBron/Wade/Bosh Heat (the Trailblazers with Aldridge/Roy were not bad as well)...with no big star next to him but a very good team, probably one of the most incredible runs I've seen from anyone in sports by Dirk.
I feel like this is an overreaction all he said is he has a CHANCE to be the best maverick ever witch ovbs he does he already has more 1st team all NBAs imo he is better then Dirk no offense to Dirk he’s an all time legend but I think Luka will probably be a top 10 player ever
Definitely worth mentioning that Lukas playing in an era where scoring has never been easier so talking about his scoring average should have an asterisk beside it when comparing it to players before 2015. I mean hell go back another 10 years or so before that it was even more harder to score.
Chris voice is so whiny it makes me long for Nick Wright……
Oh god don’t go that far lol
Man has a statue, has been to 2 finals, won 1, finals mvp, & regular season mvp. Let's pump the brakes. Luka has all the talent & momentum, sure, but let's not claim he's there just yet.
Man there’s such a recency bias in sports nowadays
The Olajuwon hate is unreal. Hakeem is one of the absolute greatest players of all time. He just never had the teammates but still got 2. He had the most decorated season of all time.
Did you know at age 36, Hakeem averaged only 1.5 ppg less than Curry at age 36
They wait 5 years to start the Finals I have forgotten it was even going on LOL
What are you rambling about smooth brain
Sure, Luka is a better player than Dirk, but Dirk is the greatest Maverick of all-time. What he did during his 21 seasons with the team was incredible when making the finals twice and winning a championship and finals MVP, also a regular MVP, which Luka does not have, but Chris thinks that Luka is the greatest Maverick? Chris Broussard, cut it out!
I appreciate everybody's comments in this section Dirk was a MonStar
The bar was so much lower for Dirk. So for Dirk to go through the West in his first 11-12 years was stupid. Dirk didn't have super high expectations and raised the bar for himself. As a MAVERICK, Dirk is a GIANT. Luka had high expectations coming from the Euro space. Winning 1 ring doesn't make him the greatest MAVERICK, he would need to embrace the city and play for the city for his whole career and win way more. Saying someone is the greatest *INSERT TEAM*, you gotta be a part of the culture in the city. Dirk stayed and could have left; Luka could leave in like 2 or 3 years with one ring, but that isn't gonna cut it.
Chris "Prisoner of the Moment" Broussard with another hot take. Forgetting that Kyrie is also a Maverick and making Luka thrive. Crown him the best in his 15th year.
Chris is right, Luka is one of the best basketball players ever. People will see this in the coming seasons.
Dirk was up against Tim Duncan and KG for the all nba teams. Luka doesn’t have as good competition at his position thus far. The best of his generation is Joker. Other than Joker there isn’t that same generational talent that Dirk was going up against during his prime.
Exactly!!! He had the Mavs in the mix year after year in the Wild Western conference that was the most competitive in the history of basketball
Great point. Although I think eventually Shai and ant edwards and others will be HUGE competition and will be looked at as great players ALL TIME later in they careers.
They currently are not even close to being on the level as Timmy or KG yet though. I believe eventually Shai and edwards will be all time greats at some point
@@bigdubs4444 even then, it still won't be anything close to the early 2000's Wild Western conference..
@@ronniekregar3482 you’re not wrong, Dirk went through a GAUNTLET.
I’m just saying the competition in the modern era is no slouch or easy by no means especially in the west. NOT COMPARABLE to kobe, timmy, or KG in any way though.
@@bigdubs4444 yea, no doubt... I'm just saying for people that didn't get to see the early 2000's West, how insanely stacked that conference was. There were teams in the West that didn't even make the playoffs that would have literally been like the 2 seed in the East lol. It was insane lol
The league is different Chris Brou like c'mon man
We LOVE Dirk in Dallas.
Dirk was an absolute monster. A one of one all-time talent
I’m 41 years old and lived in Dallas my entire life. I’m not going to get into heavy details and write out a long paragraph but team success has alot of variables that go into it. With that being said, it’s not even close, Luka is wayyyyyyyyyy better then Dirk.
Chris really is a prisoner of the moment lol this guy man he just doesn't get it. Current Luka doesn't stand a chance against prime Lebron, prime D Wade and Prime Chris Bosh try again Chris. Talk louder next time maybe you'll get your point across lol Jesus man let Luka cook when he wins he will be right on Dirks tail but he still gotta get some MVPs and then we can have a serious talk.
MVP is not a serious award. It’s not given to the best player in the world anymore. 2017 Rus was CLEARLY not the best player. When Joel won it JOKIC was CLEARLY the best player in the league next to Giannis.
The award has lost all meaning.
Also kobe is in a lot of peoples top 10 and he has ONE MVP. Shows you how fake the award is
@@bigdubs4444 buddy you're still not getting the point he literally hasn't won anything yet lol. Regardless of what you think MVP is still the most prestigious award given in the NBA. Even though I agree not every year they get it correct but I'd say 70-80% of the time it is correct. Hence why Jokic has 3 and Giannis has 2 the last 6 seasons they got it correct for the most part besides the embiid season.
@@edgybravo4287 Not it’s not you’re just wrong. The most “prestigious” award is winning the Larry O brain Trophy.
Again Kobe had ONE MVP if that’s ur end all be all when you judge a player… you’re doing it wrong. You have a very misguided view of MVPS and there importance.
Luka has accomplished a LOT 5 all nba teams at 25 and has made it to the WCF two of the last three. When he was FINALLY given a decent team he took them to the finals.
He’s not on dirks level with LEGACY but he’s accomplished A TON especially individually this early in his career…
Just stop
@@edgybravo4287 also Charles Barkley didn’t win more than Luka (neither has a championship) so you must have a very low view on his career. HIS MVP most people would argue should’ve gone to Jordan as well….
So do you think he hasn’t accomplished anything?
@@bigdubs4444 lmao you said most prestigious award is Larry o Brian and guess how many Luka has? Are you ok bud?
Man Dirk was killing folks with his kick shot!!
A champ is a champ. Dirk wasn't after individual records but was willing to sacrifice this to reach the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP with the help of his teammates.🎉 Chris should stop his nonsense talk in disrespecting Dirk. Luka is a talented player but still has to prove himself as a team player.
Ppl keep thinking that Kidd said Luka is better than Dirk. HE NEVER SAID THAT.
He said that Luka has a shot to surpass Dirk one day. WHICH HE DOES.
Just two old talking heads past their prime, we all saw what dirk was.
First time Luka gets a decent team, a new 3,4,5 this year and Luka has them right back to the WCF's and now the NBA FINALS! Luka the best player in the NBA and a Winner with whoever he has on his team! This team been together less than 6 months and we bout to battle the best team in the NBA! And I got Mavs in 6, maybe 5 or 4 if refs call a fair game!
Violence is never the answer why would Luka Donkic a NBA superstar shoot another Dallas Mavericks superstar
I look at Dirks competition through his career. young KG, Webber, Rasheed, Shaq, Yao, Duncan, Kobe, KD, Aldridge, Zeebo, Pau, Shawn Marion, staudomire, shareef Abdurahim, David West,…. this is all in the west Luca hasn’t been battle tested like this. Dirk had a real fight every night and had to prove himself because no one respected him at the beginning of his career. Chris stop the BS please.
Nobody should ever say Luka is better than Dirk unless Luka is done playing alright? As of now It’s Dirk. Thank you Rob for pointing that out. They are disrespecting the guy that put Dallas on the map won a championship. Luka is the better player but overall he’s not there yet.
Dirk got big win seasons though. And Dirk never played with a player quite as good as Kyrie. Young Nash was close but too early to be calling Luka top 10
Didn’t know Dirk had this many fans🤣🤣🤣🤣
It takes a lot to win a championship. Just ask CP3, Chuck, Malone, etc. If making it to the Finals doesn't change how you look at a player, then winning it shouldn't either. I get that it's the ultimate goal but you don't suddenly become better than someone else by winning a few more games. Luka will probably have a more successful career than Dirk but at this moment, title or no, he's not a greater player than Dirk. See me when his career is closer to the end and we'll have a legit discussion.
The Dirk slander here is ridiculous smh. My second all time favorite player and greatest Maverick player ever!!!
Luka should have better offensive numbers. Defense is softer now. Dirk was playing against Shaq, Duncan, Ben Wallace and Stodamire.
Ceiling yes, but he hasn't proven his game can win anything. He's only got the better running mate with a finals meltdown since Dirks statue. Dirks harder road champonship and mvp. Premature.
Stuff like this has ruined sports ppl are so quick to just dismiss what other players have done
Great Conversation✅️ .
3:34, yeah, that lie got em choked up.
It’s not just rings Chris!! But rings is what you bring up with the MJ vs Bron debate 🤦♂️. I’m not saying who’s better than whoever. But you can’t pick and choose when to use the ring as your argument.
dirk stomped lebum by himself and chris still crys till this day
Best is doncic, greatest is dirk for now. Greatest comes with making your team successful and winning championships.
you are always saying that scoring numbers are inflated nowadays.. but then you compare dirks to lukas straight up without mentioning that.. dishonest
Yall need to stop calling out Chris on how he doesn’t hate on lebron. Wouldn’t it make sense for Chris to prop up Dirk to strengthen lebrons case for winning? You guys are irrational
Don't forget about the Nuggets, they were the 2 seed. Minnesota was the 3 seed.
Why does every topic has to have GREATEST EVER topic? It's killing the effect of people enjoying sports in the moment
Dirk already had an mvp prior to a chip. Luka doesn’t stop it
You’re not accounting for the level of competition & for inflation far as the game goes. Wayyy easier to score in todays game
I think now we can agree that Luka is the better player, but Dirk is the greater Maverick. You can be better at something and not necessarily greater than another person.
It really just depends if Luka stays long enough that we only associate him with the Mavs. Like no one actually believes Lebron is one of the all time greatest Lakers, even though he's in the all time greatest player discussion.
Dirk has the hardest ring in recent memory. Even if Luka wins, Dirk would still be the best Maverick. Don't forget Luka is playing alongside a guy who's considered the most skilled player of all time. Dirk never had a teammate on that level in the playoffs.
Dirk deserves his flowers. But he just had to focus on scoring that playoff run. He didn’t need to anchor the defense or be a playmaker. He had one role and that was to score. Kobe , Lebron, Jordan and even Curry had to do multiple things on the court to win their rings.
Chris just said LeBron was the better player in miami but wade won championship and stayed etc so mr heat is dwade... Then he makes the same argument for Luka and switches the logic 😭
Dirk was against Duncan Garnett for all NBA
Luka would become the greatest, but Dirk will still be the most beloved.
