Just a reminder of what was said.
For everything you say Bird did better, theres another thing Dirk did better.

Yea according to the stats bird was a better scorer, rebounder, and passer so what are we still discussing cause it damn sure aint their defense. Damn sure aint the rings cause Bird has 3. Dirk has 1. Back to that white and scoring thing.

bottom line u can't compare a one trick pony to one of the best all around players of all time. even if he is possibly the best one trick pony we have seen its not comparable
ok now I'm done

You don't finish in the top 10 scoring being a one trick pony.

Dirk had a better 3pt %(thats Larry thing isn't it?).
In Dirk's 13 seasons he had more pts than Bird. Mathematical, he is the better scorer.
Bird had more assists, but he also had more turnovers.

Why not if scoring is your only trick?

26 and 10 career playoff averages. And while his assist numbers aren't high, his presence on the court gets others open shots.

Easily manipulated and skewed to prove ones point of view

Bruh if you shot 3 shots and made 1...you shot 33% FACT.
Stats do not lie, manipulate, or skew themselves. PEOPLE lie, manipulate and skew.
If Im doing so please let me know.

I'm talking about generalities, not this specific stat of 1 made shot in 3. Your comment that stats don't lie is not a good view to have moving forward in life, you'll be manipulated and believe everything. That's really all I was saying, macro view, not micro

Yup
You can pull a stat to support just about any argument.

Bro, I could prove that melo is a better player than Jordan himself using stats. Just pull random games out until melo looked better on paper.
Stats DO lie
- Oct 8, 2002

Then YOU are manipulated the stats. If you pull 10 games where Melo had better games than MJ, then he had 10 games that was better than MJ.
The stats didn't lie, you just didn't tell the whole story. That doesnt make him better. I thought this was a given.
We not eem pulling game stats, we pulling career stats.
FYI in a conversation about Dirk = Bird, yall talking about life and state manipulation. I just wanted to point that out.

Hence random aka not in my control. I did NOT manipulate the stats.
Just face that you're wrong man. Stats 101 at any level states this

Aight.
You right. Im wrong.
Im at work, cant see vids.
That was a breakdown on how Larry Bird is not comparable to Dirk Nowitzki? Anything else is irrelevant.
