Depends on what you're basing your perspective on.
Dirk did more for the international game (of course), and he was the better offensive player, but KG was obviously more well-rounded.

But Dirk put in WORK on KG in head to head meetings, especially when the Mavs swept the Wolves in 3 games, giving him 34 pts, 16 rebounds, and shooting 73%3ptfg in a sweep.
And yes, KG shoots a crapload of jumpshots too and is, IMO, soft.

Did you start watching the NBA after 2005? Yes, there was a time when Peja was arguably a MVP candidate (one year) and he was arguably better than Dirk (one to two years) as well. Of course, this was when the Kings were better than the Mavs and just right after Webber suffered that horrific knee injury...

KG soft?! he gets nasty on defense & grabs boards on the regular. He does fadeaway on the jumpshot though...

uhhh...looks like ur one of them cuz hes completely irrelevant to everything in this thread
to me as of the past season dirk is the best PF in the game. i can see bosh having a small chance to overtake his spot this year. but i think its going to be dirk for the next season and the one after.

I always find it funny when i see lists like this....What about Schayes and Petit makes you say they're better than Dirk...Maybe Im wrong and you do know something about them, but I'm sure you weren't old enough to watch them... and I doubt you watch espn classic games of them...
Wasn't Baylor a 3??? He was 6'5 so it's hard for me to imagine that he played 4 that much..

As much as Dirk gets pushed around, he pushes back just as hard. He fights through it. Pau is the definition of soft. He gets pushed and doesn't push back at all.
