WOW…this is a good match-up by Dime…….Dirk is a far superior shooter from distance…..mid range game is about equal to me…C-Webb a little better in the post due to strength and hops. Defensively both are shitty. Webber had better ball handling skills and could create for a teammate better. Dirk needs someone to get him the ball…(Nash/Kidd)…while Webber was a guy you could run your offense through from any spot on the floor. Dirks ability for the long ball and foul shooting don’t offset C-Webbs all around game

C-Webb all the way

Dirk could retire today, and would be a Hall of Famer. He has almost 21,000 points and is only 31 years old. He led his team to the Finals, and if not for some horrible officiating(back with all the corrupt officials)might have a ring. He’s a 9 time all-star(with one season where he should have been one but was left off), and has made the All-NBA team 10 times(after this season.) 4 times he’s been 1st team.

Dirk scores 22.9 ppg while taking 16.9 shots a game. Webber scored 20.7 ppg taking 18.1 shots.

In the playoffs, Dirk puts up 25.5, 11, and 2.6 assists a game. C-Webb averaged 18.7, 8.7, and 3.6 in 17 less games than Dirk.

Dirk revolutionized the forward position, and is the greatest shooting 7 footer ever, and one of the best scorers all time.

I’m sorry but I see absolutely no comparison between these two players. You’re comparing an apple to a rotten grape. C-Webb was a very serviceable player at times in his career. Dirk is a Hall of Famer – simple as that. It’s bad enough that I have to listen to C-Webb on TNT talk trash about Dirk’s game but this comparison is the ultimate insult.

Most of the people on this list must be to young to remember Cwebb in his prime. Dirk is a scorer and thats it. In his prime Cwebb would lock up your teams PF and give him buckets in a time when the league was ruled by power forwards. For most of his 15 yrs Cwebb played on really weak teams. his years in Sac town proved what he could do with the right cast around him but they couldnt close the deal. I dont think that was webbs fault. rick adlemen has never beat phil and bibby missed some clutch shots too

In terms of their overall games, Dirk’s really got the edge over C-Webb in one category and that’s shooting. Otherwise, Webber was a more complete player, better passer, defender, and had a better low-post repertoire.

Careerwise, although I hate to admit it, I have to give it to Dirk. He’ll be remembered as a better player than Webber when it’s all said and done, and I guess that’s the only criterion that really matters.

@Bron – If a guy who has the most game-winners in the past 4 years, more than Kobe Bryant, is a “choker”, then sure. The Big German’s the biggest choker of all time.

@Bron42 — That first year Nash arrived, we didn’t yet know that the fast-paced style wouldn’t get them a title. It was something the League hadn’t even seen (at least not to that level); the Suns were the talk of the League and a lot of experts were picking them to go all the way as the season went on, at least that’s how I remember it.
