This question assumes Dirk is as good as any player in the league.. yet he doesn't get officiated like other stars in the league like Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, Duncan, KG and Dwade.
What do these players have that Dirk doesn't? What does Dirk need to do to get this respect? Does he need to do more endorsment deals? Does he need to be flashier? Does he need to make a rap album? Date a supermodel? Pay off the refs?

i dunno man i've been thinking the same thing. D Wade was getting all the foul calls in the finals this year and it just made me sick. Dirk is a top 5 player in the league and he still dont get any respect. i guess it won't be until he wins his championship ring which may not be for awhile if these refs keep handing games to D wade, Kobe and Lebron.

Well, it would help if Dirk played defense and learn how to pass the ball around. In defense of K.G. he does not have the same caliber of teammates that Dirk has which makes his job harder on the court. Dirk is also known as a cry baby and looking for help from the officials. And Kobe, he is just a better all around player. I don't know why Dirk isn't endorsing more products. Maybe he's shy.

i will consistently be a Laker fan, born in So Cal, yet I lived in Dallas from 1990 to 2005 and watched Dirk for years on the AA section. observed Kobe as a rookie and Shaq play there too. Dirk is a type athlete and consistently has been, he's gracious to the Dallas followers. My best plus for him is that he does not enable Mark Cuban get under his epidermis. Cuban defines "enthusiast" to a clean point and may well be very hectic.

Doesn't get the calls from officials, you mean? Look, Cuban caused that crisis by being a doofus big mouth. You whine and whine about officiating and it comes back to bite you. It's not Dirk's fault.

He needs to step up and stop blaming his teammates. He needs to hit shots in the 4th quarter of big games. He needs to stop b*tching about the refs all the time and then going on tirades after he loses.
He needs to man up and stop pointing fingers at others for his shortcomings. Is he a leader? No. He lacks the poise.

Get a ring. No-one will quite believe the hype until he wins one. That or play some lockdown D and make an all nba defensive team.

he needs to work on his game some more, have better sportsmanship but most importantly he needs to stop blaming his teammates and start respecting them thats the only way he'll get the respect he deserves for being the talented player he is
