Is it just me that this picture of dirk looks like an older shaggy from Scooby doo with the hair and the green Jersey
Other than athleticism, this card has EVERYTHING! One of the best cards in the game no doubt.
He's not even that slow tho
Dreams do come true...I have never seen a greater card in my life
Too bad he's not from the all star collection so I have 0 chance of ever getting him
Me neither probably :( ...I guess we gotta look forward to the week before 2K17 comes out, maybe then we can affford him xD
Show 14 replies...NEVERMIND JUST GOT HIM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T EVEN CARE IT WAS A MILLION MT STUPID PC PRICES ty 2k for upping pack odd u make meh dreems come tru
Yeah... Especially since I'm on PC he'll be at LEAST 15 mil MT... 2k is broken
Oh my god, I can't imagine how frustrating MyTeam must be on PC
Yeah but MT is ten times cheaper on PC
Well not everyone buys MT... lol
If you want I can give you some, I'm not teasing or anything I'm serious, if you want I can give you a mil
If you're on PC, I'll take it haha as long as it's free
ok i'll give it to you when the all star packs come out, I won't b playing the game until then.
This post fade is broken as shit.
A Dirk that can rebound and play defense? UNSTOPPABLE!
He actually averaged 9.9 boards in his 88 ovr throwback card year. He was clearly never and elite defender though, but he did get around as many blocks per game and Barkley did in his career around this time.
Welcome dirk
welcome SnipeItCurry
@DirkMamba Well you got what you asked for
Hahahaha thisll be for that 53 pt game I guess :p Will be awesome (Y) Dont worry bro, im sure your KG will also get a diamond card ;)
Lol KG won't get a diamond he never had a huge scoring outburst. At the same time I'm kinda happy because at least prime KG will be affordable. Very few people will ever have this Dirk.
Show 4 replies...Early 00s I was constantly called "Dirk" when I played streetball
Only white guy playing w shaggy hair and a wet jumper.
Most yinz dont actually play ball anyways. Ya'll wouldnt get it.
What's the point of these cards if we can't get them? I have yet to see more than one on the auction block at a time. I think I've only seen 3 total since he came out and they all go for over 2.5 mil. I haven't even played against any of the rare cards in RTTP, so as far as I'm concerned they're not even part of the game. I haven't played with or against any of the diamonds from the all-stars collection or TBT. This is stupid.
whose mom is this
Bruce Jenner's
oh... thought it was him
Show 1 reply...Wait, is this confirmed?
I think I'd rather have this diamond first over any diamond. This card has got EVERYTHING!!
Too bad he's rarer than my pepe collection
Lol. Also someone raged and downvoted everyones comments on a bunch of pages
Probably basketballguru. He downvoted me a ton randomly after I provided statistical evidence that the Warriors are the best team and the NBA and that Steph Curry is better than Chris Paul currently... I'm pretty sure he downvotes everyone who says anything remotely positive about the Warriors, or so it seems, not to mention the profanity. I've been trying to tell @tupac but I guess he isn't responding.
Show 1 reply...Lol the salt is real. I can't believe there is someone out there who thinks Chris Paul is better than Curry this year, and also doesn't believe the Warriors are the best team in the league either. That's common knowledge right now. And help us out please @tupac
Looks like an old little sissy in the picture @elvinking @Black_Mamba_TR8 @Jayhawk123 XD
Dirk is an All Time Great, arguably 2nd best PF to ever touch a basketball and I wish he were an All Star this year but...97 is overrated for him; 95 is more necessary, not hating, Dirk just isn't in the same class as Larry Bird, Magic, Duncan, Bron or Kobe
For his uniqueness, ingenuity, basketball IQ, shot making, team mindset and 2011 destruction of "The Big Three", Yes. He. Is.
Dirk is an All Time great, Hall of Famer, Top 3 PF of All Time imo, but as a Dirk fan u must know he's never been a great defender and 2k overrated his defence
Show 7 replies...This is his 53 pt game card...its technically a moments...so no for that game it is accurate. And mind you, Prime Dirk was a great rebounder, shot blocker and defender, especially for always having more defensively minded Centers by his side
DUUUUDE. Dirk has never been a great defender. He averages less than 1 block a game for his career and the most blocks he's had in a year is 1.5 blocks ONCE.That's bad for a guy who's 7 feet tall. He's never thrived on the defensive side like other great PF's like Duncan, Rodman or KG. Dirk's defence is one of the minor flaws in his game. 2K gave him the same defence as 2014 Tim Duncan,prime Kirilenko and Heat Battier who are all defensive specialists. You're obviously a Dirk fan but your delusional if you claim Dirk is a "GREAT" shot blocker/defender and as great a defender as those 3 players, in his prime or not.
Im not saying Dirk is an outstanding defender...I said he's underrated and actually quite good. Its not about height, those type of comments seriously reduce your credibility. Dirk has always had defensive specialist Centers that were in charge of the defense while Dirk focused on offense. Tyson Chandler is a great example as someone who has even won a DPOTY award. Once again, this is Prime Dirk and a moments of his very best game. 86 defense is totally fair. Also having the same defense as old ass Tim Duncan is more than fair...2014 Tim Duncan can hardly run so please dont talk shit and compare him to such players. Kirilenko wasnt a defensive force either...Battier is underrated that is true, but that has nothing to do with Dirk...Kobe's defense is also underrated in this game. Live with it. This Dirk deserves the stats he has.
"2014 Tim Duncan can hardly run so please dont talk shit"...yeah...Dirk ain't winnin no marathon's either kid. Duncan in 2014 alone was better defensively than Dirk any season. Duncan TODAY is still one of the best rim protectors and best bigmen defenders and is one of the biggest reasons why the Spurs are playing historically amazing defence this season. Kirilenko was a great defender in his prime averaging 3.3 blocks just in 2004 alone. 1.8 blocks for his career, more than Dirks career high...why talk about the players around Dirk like Tyson Chandler, individually Dirk has never been a great defender and that's the truth, if u find a stat to prove me otherwise be my guest. Also in the previous comment you claimed Dirk was *clears throat* quote "GREAT rebounder, shot blocker and defender",you never said "underrated". Also I don't know what u mean by saying, 'it's not about height'. If you're 7 feet tall you should provide your team with rim protection and shot blocking or you're a wasted asset. And don't talk about my credibility junior when you claim the greatest PF of all time (Duncan...not Dirk) is an "old ass" who's as good a defender as Dirk Nowitzki cuz Timmy could be in a wheelchair and provide more rim protection than Dirk in 48 minutes.
Kirilenko also averages 1.4 steals a game with 1.8 blocks (1.9 steals in 2003) but i guess he's not a defensive force really...
As I said above, stats dont make you better than someone...I hope you realize that people nobody knows like Kiki Vandeweghe had some better stats than legends like Larry Bird in a couple of seasons...Doesnt mean theyre absolute offensive and/or defensive forces...Kirilenko had some good numbers, and you can always make a case that he's a better rebounder than Dirk throughout his CAREER...but for the last time, this is one of Dirks greatest games in one of his greatest seasons...its not his defense career rating...its a moments TBT card.
He has higher 3 than Kevin Durant...OK
KD is 38.0% from 3-pointer for his career, Dirk is 38.1% for his career. That isn't absurd, especially considering this is a TBT moments card.
his name is dirk he plays basketball.........

i am going to spend my entire lifesavings on trying to get this card
this card + moments Damian lillard
Am I the only one who thought he went with the all star set???
I hoped he was... then I'd has a slightly higher 0.0001 chance instead of 0 chance of getting them... I wasn't lying when I said too bad he's rarer than my pepe collection ;(;(;( feelsbadman
yea @Ronnie2k can you give us some dirk codes on the low real quick ;)
Show 3 replies...Pulled him today in a single pack after opening 2 boxes JHEEEZ this card is fire
I had to pull out my credit card to buy the MT for this card. It was worth it. He can handle playing the 5 in unrestricted seed. He blocks Kareem lol. He gets 3 blocks a game for me in unrestricted seed 4 playing center. This is better than Wilt and Kareem. Can Kareem and Wilt make trailer 3's like Dirty Dirk? No sir. This card is fuego!
the thing about post fades this year is that dirk is literally the only person you can make it with if your a user, yet the cpu get calls that would be bullshit in the wnba (not trying to be sextest there are plenty good wnba players) and they have all their post moves go in, like hakeem dirk shaq karl malone had a child (not possible, i'm aware) and all of this equals 2k logic
Check out my Lineup!!! Replace Jamal with James Harden? http://2kmtcentral.com/16/lineups/548644/swishjoshs-lineup#comment-263300
