I'm curious here too. Where do you guys rank these three PFs? You can take it any way you want to. Best player, Most likely to win, most dominant.. whatever. Just let me know how you rank these three players.

There’s no argument for Dirk being a top 5 scorer. You got MJ, KD, Curry, Lebron, Shaq, Harden, Kobe, and Kareem are all better scorers. Then there’s like 5 more you can make an argument for.

Dirk definitely a better scorer at his peak than Kobe, curry, and harden.

Ok bro, now you just sound dumb. Curry averaged 30 points on 67 ts%. How could you possibly argue Dirk was a better scorer.

Dirk from 2009-2011 in the playoffs: 29 points per 75 on + 8 relative TS%

Curry from 2015-2017 in the playoffs: 28 points per 75 on + 7.5 relative TS%.

Dirk also played with far worse offensive teammates than Curry. Dirk is also a more versatile scorer than Steph.

Steph literally had entire defenses scheming to stop him. Dirk face that at times, but not to the level of Steph. There’s no way in hell you could argue dirk to be a better scorer than steph.
