Really? Since when?

It may not make a complete player, but being one of the best scorers in the league certainly goes a long way to make you a good player.

Nope. Just someone bored with an NBA press credential and too much time on his hands. The "Roy's knees won't heal" thing is not a big secret. Everyone knows it. Short of some stunning new procedure that regrows knees, he's done as a great to good player. It sucks. I am a huge Roy fan. 2k is right not to bank their ratings on experimental medical procedures that are not very likely to work. I hope, however, he proves you right. But I just don't see it happening.

To the Jordan/Nowitzki bit:

Nowitzki is one of the greatest overall shooters of all time and a better overall shooter than Jordan. Jordan was the better shooter off the dribble but considering the other aspects of mid range jump shooting (face up, post up) Dirk was just as good and probably a little better than Jordan.

They are both two of the greatest mid range jump shooters of all time but Dirk probably gets a slight edge in the mid range shooting department and definitely gets the edge as an overall shooter.

I wasn't aware that averaging 19 ppg on one of the fastest paced teams in the NBA on middling efficiency while offering practically nothing else to the table makes you a good player. He's OKAY. He does what he does. But if he's your featured scorer, or even a starter, there's a good chance you're probably being run by David Kahn or are the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Dirk is every bit Jordan's equal in terms of midrange shooting. His superior on three-pointers. And approaches him, though not quite there, in terms of overall midpost game. Outside of that, he's an average rebounder and defender with definite athletic shortcomings. Dirk has to have a Jordan-like midrange game to be such an impactful player because the rest of his game falls short. But those one or two elite skills? Combined with his height and uniqueness? Those make for a scary offensive player.
