KG easy.
He too could average what Dirk averages, but he doesnt because he knows its a detriment to his team.
He's a better passer, rebounder, WAY better defender in general. And he's not that far behind Dirk in terms of being a scorer.

KG

Dirk's easier the player right now this season because of KG's health. Plus Dirk's rep will never be looked at as good

I go with Dirk as well but Im biased because he is my fav player currently.

I just wish he wins a ring eventually cuz hes not getting younger any sooner.

I still think it's a hard question because now really Dirk is in the position KG was in for the T-Wolves and putting up nearly similar stats.

Both are HOFer's though

You know and I know that Kidd doesnt give a crap anymore. Hes old and especially in basketball you need youth. We need Barea to speed up the tempo, we dont need those flashy passes. We need speed like a Tony Parker type. It opens the floor for guys like Terry and Howard for mid-range game.

We NEED to get out of that 8th spot in the West. I really want to face the Nuggets.

I agree with everything except for the part about Kidd not caring. I think he cares, he's always been like that, this is Dirk's team, and so he isn't the face like he was in New Jersey. But I still think he cares very much so. He just is really chill all the time.

KG easily

And you couldnt be serious. Kidd wants a ring and does care. Thats the only thing that he has yet to accomplish besides mvp which he shouldve won back in NJ.

Yea especially stating how much he wants to stay with Dallas with this comment........

"I could sit and watch from the bench," Kidd said. "[LeBron] is so talented, he's going to get guys wide open shots. So we'll look at free agency and what happens for me next year."
He is GONE after this year.

Why would he want to stay in Dallas, he knows he has no shot of a ring there.

What? He is soft lol.
He is amazing at what he does though.

But KG is a much better player. He does everything better aside from shooting 3's really..
