who's better - dirk or peja?

by **j.23** on Mon Aug 04, 2003 6:39 am

who do you guys think is the better player - dirk or peja? i personally think it's peja .. by a hair.. i think dirk is awesome.. he can bomb it from outside and play down low but i just dont think his defensive intensity is there.. i would pick dirk over peja if he just committed to play defense.. peja on the other hand.. just like dirk, he can bomb it from the outside and he's a great slasher.. also knows how to use screens well.. i think he's a great defender as well and one of the most underrated in the league..

definatly Dirk..he's taller than Peja..so his release will be higher making it harder to block..but Peja shoots better percentage...and with deadly accurace...so i like them both but if i have to choose..Dirk...mainly he's better than Peja and he's on Mavs..and he has that cool hair style

@ me being the only peja lover

, well.....Peja has some awesome facial hair, U got to admit that. But in my opinion Dirk is better. He can make all the shots, can drive at all time and is harder to stop. And he rebounds

Dirk!

by **TRUball** on Mon Aug 04, 2003 10:46 am

dirk by a long shot, cause dirk is all-nba material(2nd team this year) and pega only pulled in a mere 8 votes white dirk had 360. plus look at the stats, oh and don't give me the but pega has to play behind, etc. there is just as much talent on the mavs as the kings.

Catagory/Dirk/Pega
PPG/25.1/19.2
RPG/9.9/5.5
APG/3/2
SPG/1.39/1
BPG/1.03/0.07
FG%/.463/.481
FT%/.881/.875
3P%/.379/.382
MPG/39/34

so besides field goal(+.018) and 3 point(+.003) percentage, Dirk leads Pega in every major catagory. oh and Dirk is only 2 inches bigger than pega so the rebounding shouldn't be all that much different but it is, probaly cause pega stays on the perimeter most of hte time.

oh and this is NBA talk so why is it in the general talk?

I voted for Dirk. He's much better than Peja.

Dirk, no doubt, no question, absolutely.

As everyone has probably realised, the topic has been moved to NBA Talk. Sorry for the delay, I was at work all day.

My vote goes to Dirk, who is heading towards the level of the KGs and Duncans.

but Dirk needs to get to the basket a whole lot more and his defence has to improve dramatically if he ever wants to have a shot at MVP..

by **Full Surface** on Mon Aug 04, 2003 10:48 pm

Dirk is better overall. He's the type of player who can take a leadership role unlike Peja.

by **emadhn15** on Tue Aug 05, 2003 1:51 am

even thought I like Peja, I would say that Dirk is much better than him.

by **Colin** on Tue Aug 05, 2003 2:34 am

I voted to not vote because I don't like either of them.

Wow, tough one, hmmmm

I think their are both pretty good, i liked Kobe_4real's post , but remember too that he plays exactly 5 minutes per game less than Dirk, still he is better in my opinion.

Jason Kidd...just kidding :lol:

i have to go with peja since just because of that accuracy, not saying dirk doesnt have, but still, i'd go with peja

by **emadhn15** on Thu Aug 07, 2003 12:21 am

actualy dirk is better outside shooter than peja.

Actually, Peja is a more pure shooter than dirk, but dirk has more abilities even when he's a 7 footer :cool:
