I agree that comparing Duncan to Dirk is silly (Duncan is better player), but to say that Dirk disappears when it matters most is even sillier (especially coming from a Spur's fan). Remember game 7? Who made the basket while being fouled hard and then the free throw to send that game into OT? Was Dirk invisible while doing that? I guess you guys have chosen to forget that ever happened.

Definition of a superstar:not pussies who are afraid of constant physical play, dont rely on the refs to be clutch for them, dont sit out of 3 playoff games with a hyperextended knee especially when the doc's clear you, dont call out teamates to the press especially when you yourself isnt getting the job done etc etc. Dirk has improved his game agreed, but he will always be the same soft choking pussy that he truly is. Not having those intangables puts him in an all-star class and doesnt get you to superstar status.

Right.....He hit the shot that basically ended the Grizz playoff run. He took it physical to the rack just when it seemed like the Mavs were done after the trey by Manu. He got a kiss blown at him by Tim Thomas and responded with a 50 point game. Pretty close to the real deal.

ah, you took the words right out of my mouth. Dirk is a damn good player. Of course we shouldnt expect these unknowledgable homer spurs fans to give any credit where credit is due, other than to the spurs. if anyone beats the spurs, they discredit them, whine, bitch, make excuses, etc... we shouldnt expect more of them. Dirk basically singlehandedly beat the Spurs in just about every possible way, and they still find a lame ass way to discredit him.

Shaggy, how old are u man? The spurs got just as much or more bullshit help from the refs than the mavs did. Game 1 was fucking pitiful. So what if Dirk sat out because of a hyperextended knee? You are only proving your ignorance here. A hyperextened knee can either be very minor or very serious. Dirk may have folded in the finals, I won't argue with that. But that's not the trend throughout his career. Nobody calls him a choker when he hits the game winner or when he scores 50 points and single handedly leads the Mavericks to victory. You can't base all of your argument on one playoff series. The dude has been in the league 7 seasons and for most of his career he has not been known to fold like he did in the finals. You claim people call you a "hater", but it's true, your argument is so weak. 99.9% of the fans here or anywhere will agree that Dirk is a superstar. You don't have to like the guy, or even think he's top 5 in the NBA. But you can't deny that he's top 10 and a superstar.

I'm not really interested in this stupid argument anymore, but at least know WTF you're talking about...

First...Dirk plays hurt all the time. He came back and played in playoffs vs. Spurs a few years ago after having his teeth knocked out. He plays on badly sprained ankles ALL THE TIME. How is he afraid of physical play??? He's just not as good at low post play than he is at midpost-perimeter play (it's what makes him a tough matchup for everyone). It's his position, it's where the coaches want him to play, plus if he were afraid of physical play he certainly wouldn't go to the free throw line as much as he does :lol

Next...Dirk WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY by Nellie after hyper-extending his knee. He was pissed about not being allowed to play but Nellie wouldn't let him risk it that early in his career.

Lastly, what star doesn't get calls from refs to bail them out? See Wade...see Duncan and yes, see Dirk.

You really need to think before you type :drunk :smokin

Wade couldn't handle an easy breakaway in the Germany/USA game so he flailed on the floor crying about his eye. Same old shit.

[ambchang]

Why is not playing well choking/soft? I never get that. Is it at all possible that it happens the Heat matches up well with the Dirk, and the Mavs doesn't match up well with Dwayne? Is Shaq now a choker because he performed poorly and requires his "sidekick" to help him out?
BTW, Dirk is a VERY borderline superstar, I won't personally put him there. To me, it's a very select category, but that is up to anybody's own interpretation.

[NBA Junkie]

Dirk wasn't much of a factor at all during the game. I thought the US did a good job of making him work for his points. I thought Chris Bosh did a decent job of staying with Dirk defensively when he was assigned to guard him.

Yeah, that game was ridiculous. USA's domination on the glass in the 2nd half was the biggest difference. USA is going to have to shoot much better to win the gold.

I'm really impressed with Melo...he seems to have stepped up his game up big time. We'll know for sure this coming season, but I'm guessing the confidence he's getting now will be invaluable. It's fairly obvious that LeBron & Melo are the best players on this team. The alpha dogs always lead the way. Wade is a really good player but he needs his ShaqDaddy around to help him.

I'm just hoping that Dirk will one day reach Duncan's lofty "Zebra-Aid(TM) getting" status. Then we will know he's arrived as a true superstar in the NBA.

From the Fort Worth Star Telegram: (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/columnists/pete_alfano/14870206.htm)

Fans who want to complain about how often Wade got to the free-throw line in the Finals should remember that Nowitzki set an NBA record for most free throws made in the playoffs.

[shaggy17]

I'm not really interested in this stupid argument anymore, but at least know WTF you're talking about...

First...Dirk plays hurt all the time. He came back and played in playoffs vs. Spurs a few years ago after having his teeth knocked out. He plays on badly sprained ankles ALL THE TIME. How is he afraid of physical play??? He's just not as good at low post play than he is at midpost-perimeter play (it's what makes him a tough matchup for everyone). It's his position, it's where the coaches want him to play, plus if he were afraid of physical play he certainly wouldn't go to the free throw line as much as he does :lol

Next...Dirk WAS NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY by Nellie after hyper-extending his knee. He was pissed about not being allowed to play but Nellie wouldn't let him risk it that early in his career.

Lastly, what star doesn't get calls from refs to bail them out? See Wade...see Duncan and yes, see Dirk.

You really need to think before you type :drunk :smokin

:rolleyes :blah :blah :blah When Miami constantly punished him for driving it affected his game dramatically. The other 3 teams before the heat didnt make him pay for driving to the hoop due to being small and didnt give him hard fouls or it was alot of bullshit calls that he got away with. Riley's method was "if they are going to call bullshit fouls on this guy, at least make him feel some pain" and that method alone affected Dirk along with most of the other Mavs. They were afraid to go to the hoop because of knowing they were going to get the shit knocked out of them especially Dirk. He plays on badly sprained ankles all the time?? :lol I'd love to see him have 1 ankle that suffered a 2nd degree sprain and the other ankle suffer a 1st degree in the middle of the playoffs. Also if he wouldnt try stepping on peoples feet to get fouls called in his favor that might help.


Second point Dirk is the player who had the injury and he was their best player. If he wanted to play that badly he would of despite what Nelly said. Doctors cleared him to play and Nelly doesnt know how dirk felt...only Dirk did. As I said, If Dirk wanted to play that badly he would of done every possible thing to get on the court.

Finally to an extent superstars do get calls from the refs to get bailed out but they are also clutch and can handle the constant beating they take night after night. Wade/Duncan/Iverson etc those players take the pain and the hacking,beating every night and constantly stay agressive but they also dont rely on the refs to be clutch for them all the fucking time. Sure they may even flop sometimes but most of the time they get their ass knocked down to the floor and get up and do it all over again. Dirk cant endure that type of consistent physical play in a 7 game series because it wears him down and he HATES that style of play. He is a very talented player, but he is inconsistent in terms of intangables when referring to being a superstar.

Also btw Germany didnt win today so there end that speculation. :lol

Uhhh, Tim Duncan 2004 Olympics?

[mavs>spurs2]

:blah :blah Superstars arent soft ass pussies. Superstars can handle physical ball which Dirk Cant...Period!! When you play Physical/Riley Ball on Dirk he becomes what he truly is..an all-star. Sadly enough the finals was the only team that they faced in the playoffs who stayed true to themselves and made the Mavs adjust to their game. Also you have no right to bitch about the refs on game fucking 1 compared to the load of bullshit calls dirk got away with in games 3 and 4 which were by far worse.

The games were equally bad on both sides. Spurs fans think they got screwed because they lost, mav fans don't talk about it because we won. If the spurs would have won, mav fans would be saying they got screwed. And Dirk CAN handle physical ball but didn't do so in the finals. He will have to learn to handle it better because most teams now probably see it as a glaring weakness of his, you're right there. But Dirk is a superstar and he will learn to adjust.

[mavs>spurs2]

This argument is retarded. One one side we got the 12 year old shaggy trying to make a point that Dirk isn't a superstar. Someone please explain to me how you can be 1st team all NBA and not be a superstar. Only 5 people make 1st team, for all you stupid fans that means that he was considered top 5 in the league last season. Since when is top 5 in the entire league not good enough to be superstar? And don't forget about the other spur posters, who unlike shaggy, seem to be older than 12 years old but still act immature by telling people to "Get Dirk's schlong out of their mouth." I thought spur fans claimed to be smart about basketball and to be classy.

Did he choke on a piece of popcorn? He spent most of the 2004 olympics on the bench, and that's hardly his fault.

Dirk driving to the hole>Dirk taking a wild 3 in game 7 vs. Spurs. He could have easily took a wild 3 then, but what did he do?

:rolleyes :rolleyes :blah its retarded because its true. As I have been saying all along THE HEAT WERE THE ONLY TEAM WHO GAVE DIRK A PHYSICAL BEATING DUE TO STAYING BIG IN THIS YEARS PLAYOFFS!!The Grizz/Spurs/Suns went small and gave up layups and didnt constantly get extremely physical with them. Dirk had an amazing seasons and he is a very talented player BUT if you dont consistintly have the necessary intangables(handling agressive 48 minute aggressive play) that it takes to be a SUPERSTAR then you are not one! Over the years the same old shit had happened to dirk and it reoccurred again but at a later time in the playoffs. Iverson/Kobe/Duncan/Bron/Wade can perform regardless of teams that are VERY PHYSICAL or go small and play soft on them. Dirk isnt in that class which therefore means he is an allstar! :rolleyes Wow gotta throw the "12 year old" card at me how creative. :lol The ONLY way I will label Dirk as a legit superstar is if I see him being able to handle teams who continue to knock him on his ass consistintly and still produce and overcome all that. I am talking in terms of the playoffs in a 7 game series.Teams who stay BIG and make him feel tons of bumps and bruises. If Dirk doesnt fold like the soft ass pussy that he truly is then I will change the label on what kind of star he is.

Hey Shaggy SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT! You have got to be a dumbass if you think Dirk isnt a superstar. The fucker gives it his all day in and day out yet you claim you know alot about the game of basketball. Oh and stop using the refs as the excuse on why we dethroned you guys in your own house. If you wont label Dirk as a superstar then you might as well label the other elite nba players as allstars as well. God what an idiot!!

Seriously if the NBA coaches thought the same as you, Dirk would not have been first team all NBA. Get over it, like him or not he is a superstar. He will learn to handle the physical play, mark my words.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

mark my words.

Saying "mark my words" has got to be the most super fag thing a guy can do.

[StylisticS]

and what's to cringe about Wade, he sucked bigtime, Melo was the champ today, extending the lead in the third quarter.

you mean, what's not to cringe. The man is a beast. but he also is a turnover machine. He will make you ask yourself "How did he do that" for 2 things. His athleticism and his turnovers.

[milkyway21]

will he officially be the best player in the NBA? Hate on haters NO. Because he can't. the U.S. team. Last night the U.S. turned into cold-shooters and still he didn't win, he choked. what if ....
No, I don't think so.

The game where Dirk stepped on Duncans foot which resulted in a 6th foul?? That was a bullshit call not to mention twisting your ankle and spraining it are two different things!!. If you want to talk dealing with ankle sprains look at Duncan led us to a title on 2 ankles sprains compared to a pussy ass twist.

[shaggy17]

hes never watched a game so of course he didnt see that one...that guy seriously needs to get over himself

Wow you have to use the "he sucks his dick" comeback.....WEAK!!
Yeah calling Dirk soft because of watching him over the years and him proving it literally on the court shows I dont know shit about the game. Another WEAK childish comeback which sadly dissapoints me.

Hey Dumbass stop being bitter cuz the Mavs own the Spurs now. If you are such a smart person then explain to me how you are going to beat the Mavs next year with your wing players if anything you added an older player in Eric Williams. You have 2 at best average bigs and a horrible 3rd string pg who cant shoot. I really get laughs out of Spurs fans who think they can beat us with that roster that they have. And stop being a fucking prick about Dirk. The guy is a SUPERSTAR weather you like it or not. IF ANYONE here also thinks Dirk isnt a superstar is a fucking retard/hater and thats the truth!
