This article talks about the NBA this last decade. For all Mavs fan who think Dirk is better than Duncan or KG, he was in the second NBA team while duncan and KG made it to first team.Duncan was picked MVP of the decade (not dirk or Kobe).Kobe was best player of the decade.

I agree with this article.Best player of the decade could go to Duncan as yahoo and SI did but its close.
As expected the Mavs share nothing in this decade except Dirk being in the 2nd team.
Mavs are a very overhyped team and they wont win it this year or ever.they had their chance and its over.
Sorry mavs fan.

And for people saying garnett is the best PF in history, Sorry once again.Even this article emphasizes that he is 2nd best to duncan.Sorry boston fans.

[dirk4mvp]

[mystargtr34]

If Garnett's going at SF, may aswell do this.

[PGDynasty24]

[BadOdor]

Shaq should be replaced with Dirk. Shaq was not dominant for the entire decade. Neither was garnett. This list is retarded. you cock goblers need a list with some real reasons why, besides fandom. bitches.

Son, you're not from Argentina by any chance, are you?

cause those nazi-harboring hobos sure like to mention manu's b-league awards a lot. No one cares he won mvp in the greek leage son. NBA is where the big boys play, and he doesn't even crack top 50 for this decade.

1. No mavfan thinks Dirk has been better than Duncan this decade. He is just the better player right now

2. Just because some article puts KG above Dirk doesnt make it a fact.
EDIT: I just saw that Vincent Thomas wrote this :lmao

[Ghazi]

Personally I think Dirk's been better than KG for about half a decade now.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dirk has only been better than Garnett since last season..

[TDMVPDPOY]

i think nash has been better than kidd for half a decade now.....say whatever you like about nashes stat padding on the suns system, its not worst like kidd statpadding triple doubles in losing game efforts...

Your crazy. Ill give you he shouldn't be top 5 but second or third team? What is b-league about beating america in the olympics?

[JamStone]

I'm a huge Ginobili fan.

He wouldn't crack the top three all decade teams.

[Goran Dragic]

ginobili has three wc and a gold medal. shouldn't he be there?


This is the all-NBA decade team, not the all minor league basketball team. Which of those 5 players deserves the honor less than Manu?

[Killakobe81]

I'm a huge Ginobili fan.

He wouldn't crack the top three all decade teams.

Agreed. I also respect his game he MAYBE could get 3rd team MAYBE ...

[Goran Dragic]

Don't forget manu ALMOST won finals MVP!!!!

[MB20]

+1

Even being from Argentina myself.
Manu has been selected to the ASG only once. Tony´s had a better decade.

[Muser]

Tony's had a better decade? :lol

This was also the West's starting lineup in the ASG for a couple of years in a row.

[MB20]

Tony's had a better decade? :lol

3 rings/ 3 ASG / 1 Finals MVP >>> 3 rings/ 1 ASG/ 1 6th man of the year.

[Muser]

Add the gold medal to that list too.

Hell don't get me wrong I love tony, but this decade Manu > Tony.

[MB20]

Add the gold medal to that list too.

NBA only. I didn´t include "d-league" awards...:lol

[JamStone]

The article is about the NBA over the past decade, the NBA only. Stop trying to add international/Olympic arguments into the discussion.

[Goran Dragic]

IMO (I'm doing it so each team has a PG, SG, SF, PF, C), first team:

Shaq
Duncan
Lebron
Kobe
Kidd

Ben Wallace
KG
Tracy McGrady
Allen Iverson
Chauncey Billups

Yao Ming
Dirk
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen
Steve Nash

[JamStone]

Even if you group all guards together, Manu doesn't have a strong argument to get in the top 6.

Kobe
Nash
Kidd
Wade
Iverson
CP3

Manu would be in the next tier of guards with Ray Allen, Billups, T-Mac, and Tony Parker on the outside looking in. You can make the "playoff performance" argument with some of those guys, but it's still a losing argument to try to contend Manu should be among the top 6 NBA guards in the decade.

[DAF86]

Manu doesn't deserve to be in the NBA team of the decade even I know that. But I also know that KG > > > Dirk.

[DAF86]

Even if you group all guards together, Manu doesn't have a strong argument to get in the top 6.

Kobe
Nash
Kidd
Wade
Iverson
CP3



In terms of individual acomplishments in the NBA I agree, but I'd definitely take Manu over Iverson (probably over Nash too) on my team if they were all at their primes.

I agree mostly cause Nash and A.I. are only capable of contributing to their team in one way, Manu is capable of actually playing off someone, actually moving without the ball, and actually playing D.
