Dirk:

Obviously it’s pretty close, both great players. Grew up loving Dirk & I love Giannis’ game as well. Just want to see if a year has changed many peoples minds with the first round loss to the heat & the additional All NBA first team & All Star
Giannis is already better than Dirk and will clear him. Same with Jokic.
Both are better scorers, rebound better and have an x-factor that Dirk did not have. Giannis gives you elite defense while Jokic gives you elite playmaking
