Kgs handle at that size was ridiculous. And underrated vision
The good thing about that era of power forwards, They all had different styles of play & they all competed against each other
The golden years of the greatest PF's ... Duncan, KG, Dirk, Webber, Amare, Sheed, Jermaine O'Neal, Brand, Gasol, Jamison, Van Horn among many others
Those were some great battles. Great mid-range shooting!!! Now it’s become a 3 point contest with no defense.
Look at the score. Ultra competitive & intensity. Glad to be born in 82.
Thank you for sharing this Amazing video man. I like watching NBA games in the early 90's and 2000's
👍
KG should of gone to the Celtics earlier. Even he said he wished that.
Another MVP Battle, I'm going with Kevin Garnett. My League MVP, All Star MVP and Finals MVP. KG
Finals MVP?
@@nanox4 IGUODALA HAVE 4 RINGS 1 FINAL MVP. BAYLOR NONE. IGGY BEST SEASON 21 PPG 7 RPG. BAYLOR 37 PPG 18 RPG 7 APG. BY YOUR LOGIC IGGY IS BETTER THAN ELGIN
Dirk>KG easy
@@cartierr6717 HOW MANY DEFENSIVE TEAMS DIRK HAVE ??
@@PIP...33 His offensive game makes up for that🤷♂️
Nice upload, I liked both of these squads..
👍
Great upload
👍
Back when the power forwards actually had post games with countless go-to moves; not this step back chucking three era.
right, there's no power in the power forward position anymore lol
Facts.. everybody works out with the same people nowadays and end up with all the same moves 😂
@@chousan1024 wtf is kawhi and Derozen then??
@@jean-patricepaluku4754 Knowledge of scoring multiple ways is key to winning. Just look at Hakeem. Lastly, the US national team cannot even with gold anymore because of the one-dimensional style of play.
@@Diamante777 neither of them are power forwards, wtf? Lol
Small forward and/or shooting guard for derozan
I love the “good hard nba foul” toward the end of the clip 😂😂 it was a regular foul too .. good ole days 😂
Dirk has highest career +/- of +5779 among power forwards, followed by Tim +4841, then Draymond +4322, then KG @ +4111
If Draymond is mentioned among these dudes, it only shows how this +/- stat is just ridiculous
Damn i graduated high school June of this year , miss these days , im 38 now 😩
How can people say Europeans are soft. Dirk was physical af look at how much he fights for position then used finesse to finish
Ticket was a very gifted team oriented scorer if Draymond had a mid game they would be very similar but that baseline and elbow jay 🔥Thats why Rondo had so much fun with the C’s
KG:
Better range than most, high % on all non-3s
Elite post scorer
Can iso and create his own shots
Great passer
Elite on/off ball defender
Leader on Team
Best PF ever!
Mailman have almost 10.000 pts more than KG or Duncan. Fun fact all 3 played 20 years around. Dude was machine and durable goat.
@@perditadurango9699 Exactly 💯 Mailman missed more games in his final year with the Lakers, than all his 18 years in Utah combined incredible.
It seems so silly to see KG consistently make jumpers beyond the FT line. He would've easily been a 30 PPG scorer if they had him attempt 3s
@@carlosgarza9132Ikr his 3 probably could’ve been as good as Dirk’s but he never ever attempted 3s, yet attempted millions of 2 pointers where his foot was basically on the line.
KG was the solo Allstar on his team vs 3 Allstars for the Mavs...KG contributed more to offense even though Dirk had a slightly higher ppg Garnett's playmaking got more points for the team...KG was always a tier above Dirk...Alot of people didn't see Minnesota KG who was an absolute beast on both sides of the ball.
You are delusional. Dirk cooked KG every time they played. Dirk also didn't need to other HOFers to win a championship. He didn't need to run away to the weak eastern conference either. Dirk is easily the better player.
Mike Breen was one of the play by play on this game right. I can tell his voice
Great highlights. Timberwolves had home gield advantagw so they got away with a few fouls on Dirk. KG had great defense but as Dirk mastered his shot Dirk became unguardable to KG.
For being the early 2000s, this Mavs team was straight awful defensively. Way too much focus on offense.
❤❤
Tim Duncan is THE BEST power forward to ever play in the National Basketball Association
What does that have to do with this video? Lol you niggas just be saying literally anything
Lmao Duncan is a center.
Two great talents. I feel happy for Dirk for his achievements and competitiveness during his prime in NBA. But KG could certainly use some help during his prime. That's where Cuban was much better than the whole management of Timberwolves combined
Kg had help, I blame management for not giving sprewell what he was worth , especially since he was the second best player on the 04 squad
@@andresdelportillo9917 SPREE WAS 35, CASSELL 35 WITH BROKEN SPINAL. ONLY HELP KG HAD WAS 1 YEAR MARBURY AND 1 YEAR GOGGS. NOT THE CASE FOR NOWITZKI FROM DAY 1 SUPERSTAR FINLEY WAS LEADER , THEN 75 GOAT NASH WAS YOUNG GREAT. THEN TOINE, JAMISON, NICK, STACKHOUSE ALL WERE LEADERS ALL STARS IN PREVIOUS TEAMS.
@@PIP...33 Finley was amazing glad he got his ring with the spurs
@@andresdelportillo9917 ppl also forgot bradley led nba in blocks. not only finley was 1st ''next mj'' (best fadeaway reverse layups and posters in nba - while kobe warm bench in Dell Harris team ) but dude was incredible clutch . He was leader till 2003. Dirk then took over just because Mike is most educated and well nice player in history. Whoever met with Mike says he is kind and unselfish. He could average 30 ppg entire career but he is lover team player not like MJ.
@@perditadurango9699 Finley was awesome and very unselfish
Wish Nash had stayed. Might have been multiple championships . And if kg had gone to Boston earlier?!!! Many many chips 🍟
the nba used to be much better than today
@8:39 Dirk: "what the f*ck are you doing!"
As a spurs fan dirk was more of a problem than kg
Talk to em
Hell no 😂😂😂
@@darrylhudson2182 aside from MJ, KG is right there as my favorite
but when it came to clutch time, dirk was a fuckin problem lol, more so than kg
@chousan1024 drik was by far a better shooter no doubt... what else can he do though??? He barely rebounds, he can play defense, he can't dribble and create his own shot. Did I miss something?
@@darrylhudson2182 ua-cam.com/video/lJn1w85Wp_Q/v-deo.htmlsi=CcE-BhpjG8FjmARg
Garnett was the 2000s version of Kemp
KG > Dirk
Long haired dirk was elite , whenever he’d cut his hair he’d lose his powers
YEAH JUST LIKE ELITE WAS GARNETT HELP. WITH SUPERSTARS FINLEY AND NASH.
U MEAN AL HARRINGTON 8TH SEED SWEPT MVP DIRK ??
@@PIP...33 didn’t dirk have short hair during the sweep
@@andresdelportillo9917 HE DIDNT HAD LONG HAIR WHEN HE WON WITH GERMANY IN SERBIA MVP 2004 HE ALSO PLAYED BETTER WITH SHORT HAIR IN NATIONAL TEAM.
ANYWAY, POINT IS CLEAR : EASY TO PLAY ELITE WHEN GARNETT MUST DEFEND ROTATION AND HELP ON TEAM MATES WHO CANT STAND INFRONT FINLEY OR NASH.
@@PIP...33 bruh why is everything in caps 😭
Now show the playoffs where Dirk completely dominated
ua-cam.com/video/adI4ALF8-dw/v-deo.html
“People back home in Germany, always ask me, who’s the toughest player to guard? And I always say Kevin Garnett. He’s just a nightmare to stop.” - Dirk Nowitzki
Shyt are we gonna act like Dallas wasn't loaded?
@qobo5socikwa666 no, dirk was more of an assassin than kg, more clutch and he gave the spurs more problems than kg did,.he actually beat the spurs in the playoffs when they were at a high level and Michael finely was balling for the spurs that year
Dirk abused KG for over a decade
But in the end, Duncan won the MVP and the title
Bc dirk got hurt in game 3 vs the spurs
@@mavssami41 Cry me a river
@@annie20232 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
KG>> Dirk
I'll take Sheed and Webber over him too. Mailman by far best PF ever dude is unstoppable u need 4 hall of famers like Bulls to wrestle with him. And if ref ejected Rodman for (Draymond Green strategy) trip or lay on leg of Mailman so he cannot return in transition defense many times during 2 years clutch time finals of 2 minutes in game 4, 5 and 6 - Jazz would win rings. Rodman little tricks that was off camera, bring the Bulls rings.
@@perditadurango9699 WHAT ABOUT KEMP ?? I KNOW HE IS NOT HOF CAUSE HIS O.D. BUT HIM AND GLOVE WAIT - BY GARY'S WORDS SONICS TO COMEBACK SO THEY CAN RETIRE 20&40 TOGETHER
@@PIP...33 Him and Penny should be. They were incredible superstars. If Hill (whos 1 of mine fav player) enter to HOF - Not deserved at all, then Kemp and Penny should be too.
@@perditadurango9699 GRANT IS HOF NO DOUBT BUT ONLY PLAYED 3 YEARS IN NBA !! THO THOSE 3 WERE BETTER THAN LEBRON, OSCAR AND BAYLOR. TMAC AND HILL DID NOT HAD STATS OR SEASONS TO ENTER HOF BUT SIMPLY THEY ARE GOAT LEVELS.
@@perditadurango9699Larry Johnson should be HOF as well
Kevin better than Dirk
when were either of these 2 ever the real MVP 😆
WHEN WERE MJ WAS MVP ?? EMBIID PILE UP 34 PPG LIKE MIKE, AND PPL STILL SAY HE IS NOT MVP THAT MEANS MJ HAS NONE IN CAREER
OLAJUWON AND ADMIRAL HAD BETTER ALL STATS BESIDE PPG THAN JORDAN. NOT ONLY THEY ARE FAR MORE VALUABLE FOR TEAM BUT ALSO IN 90'S EVERY TEAM HAD 3 BIG 7+ FOOTERS JUST TO STOP SHAQ, DREAM, EWING, ADMIRAL
@@PIP...33 90's rosters were build to stop those centers but most for Shaq. Without Longley Wennington and Joe Klein , the MJ would be nobody just athletic DeRozan. Each of those 3 can foul 6 times . That's 18 fouls vs Shaq. If O'neal goes to line 12 times from those 18 fouls, and hit only 5 pts - that's how MJ can win vs him not with his empty 33 PPG that produced 1st round exit. Longley should be most credited likewise Pip & Dennis.
@@perditadurango9699 CORRECT BECAUSE SHAQ AVERAGE WAS 35 PPG SO HE CANCEL JORDAN'S 33 PPG ADD ON THAT HIS 14 RPG , 3 BPG IT MAKES HIM FAR VALUABLE THAN MJ. BUT RODMAN LIMITED SHAQ TO 28 PPG LIKEWISE 3 CENTERS
@@PIP...33 MJ put empty stats that led to 1st round exit. Any player can cancel his 33 ppg if he had great supporting cast. Problem was only MJ had superteam during 90's with depth and great supporting cast. Only little deeper team was Sonics and later 1997/98 young Lakers who had 7 or 8 in rotation. Bulls were 10 deep. Randy Brown defensive spec. Kerr spot up GOAT best 3pts shooter in history. Kukoc superstar 6th man. And as we mention 3 centers for Dream Pat Admiral and especially Shaq. They won ring not MJ who's stats are just mask for naive ppl. His 33 ppg means nothing vs guys like Shaq.
Dirk is soft
Cottonel soft but he's tall.
dirk is better than kG
GARNETT : BETTER CAREER FG%, 12 DEFENSIVE TEAMS VS NONE. MORE RPG, BPG, SPG, APG AND HE WON BOTH MVP DPOY . DIRK BETTER FOR DERANGED PPL WHO NEVER PLAYED SPORT AND NEW ERA WHO THINK OFFENSE WINS GAMES.
@@PIP...33 KG indeed have higher fg% percentage by little. What is odd . But as much as I like him, that's because he is incredible dunker and great vertical , his mid range is very good .
@@PIP...33 Dirk has nothing to do in top 5 PF Because dude is not 2 way - just 1 dimensional, and as u mention zero defensive teams in career makes him questionable for even top 10 PF.
@@perditadurango9699 WHEN U LINE THESE : KEMP, MCHALE, BARKLEY, KG, MAIL, SHEED, WEBBER, ELVIN , DUNCAN ...I THINK SMART MEN WILL SELECT DIRK LAST. (MAYBE INFRONT MCHALE OR SHHED, NO ??)
@@PIP...33 dirk cooked Kg men watch the video in youtube dirk had a better ring than kg dirk beat kobe big 3 okc big 3 prime heat big 3 KG joins super team boston thats y have get a ring .
