Both handle the ball well for men their size?

Both, despite being 6-10, 6-11, play the game outside in instead of inside out?

I gave you a couple of ways that they are similar. This is not becoming of you.

I understand you are frustrated and mad as a laker hater but at least make some sense.

Wow. Nowitzki and Turkoglu are similar now? Sniper is right. That might be the worst comparison in history. Turkoglu has no post game. Dirk has no ability to create offense off the dribble. Dirk is a good rebounder. Turkoglu is an opportunistic one. The offense can run through Dirk. Hedo can run the offense.

If you want a better comparison, I've got one for you. Turkoglu and Toni Kukoc. If you want to say he's a poor man's anything, maybe Tracy McGrady is a good one.

Oh, the hyperbole. LOL. It was as if i was comparing mark eaton to akeem.

Dirk can shoot off the dribble and create from the perimeter. Hedo can take it to the hole but he is more often finishing midrange than at the basket. either way the similarity is that they are both the same size, same position and can do many of the same things.

He isnt nearly as athletic as mcgrady is/was. Mcgrady is a swing, Turk is a 4. Come one kg, you are slippin...at least turk and dirk play the same position.

himself and his defender?

Ball handling and the ability to go
to the basket off the dribble is a
huge diff. between these two.

Dirk handles the ball very well and gets to the basket. he was 8th in free throw attempts.

When Dirk receives the ball at the FT line and
closer. He is not a perimeter ball handler.
Turkeyglue is. They are very different in this
respect. Turkeyglue is much, much quicker.

Hedo is a legitimate penetrating big man.
(the women love this aspect of his game)

Hedo isnt much, much quicker than anyone.

Dirk goes to the hole all the time. I dont know what you guys have been watching but if you want i can put up video.

NOT from the perimeter.

And yes, Hedo is much, much quicker than Dirk
with the ball.

They play a diff. game. Turkeyglue initiates offense,
Dirk plays closer to the basket with the ball. And waits
at the 3 point line for shots away from the basket.
It is quite obvious. To me anyway.

The white European lumping syndrome is a strong draw.

Will youtube video settle it or will i hear some lame excuse telling me that what i have watched for the last ten years isnt real?

Dirk handles the ball well from any point on the floor and he drives to the basket and he can go coast to coast and run the break.
