Dirk: "We all know Avery ran a dictatorship"

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan the respect he deserves. And he deserves a lot. He is definitely one of the best power forwards ever

One of??

Trying to convince Spurs fans that Dirk isn't the choker that he's made out to be is a waste of time...

It's a bit...they over-state things just because it's Dirk, just to get under Mavs fans' skin. Just ignore it...

[Sportstudi]

One of??

Yes, one of. For instance Malone and Barkley were two excellent players. But both did not win a championship. Mainly due to the lack that they played alongside Jordan. Beside that their stats are beyond any doubts. Thus I will not say only because Duncan has won already four les he is definitely the best. Malone and Barkley were (in my opinion) on the same level like Duncan still is.

Well, for you as a Spurs fan Duncan is of course the best. But I think you should give Malone and Barkley the respect they deserve.

avery is the reason that team made it to the finals.

avery understands that defense wins championships. dirk is a pussy whining about the offense.

the mavs window officially closed when they traded harris for kidd.

True... Some just don't even want to discuss. Perhaps because they don't have real arguments... Probably it's better to ignore them, because I do not want to go on such a low level of discussion (can you still call it discussion?). . But not all of them. For instance Kamnik wrote that he gives Dirk the credits he deserves (as I give them to Duncan), although he does not like the Mavs. But you do not have to like a team to give a player some props.

Let me ask you a question. Did you actually watch Charles Barkley play?? Or did you just look up his stats?? Barkely by his own admission was a mediocre to BAD defensive player. Malone was very good but neither can touch Duncan on that end of the court. Duncan is one of the most accomplished players on D of all time and one of the most dominant and impactful players ever. Barkley by his own admission has said Duncan is the best PF of all time.

No hadn't noticed

[dirk4mvp]

well duncan's is in your mouth pretty firmly.

[dirk4mvp]

Wait. So your saying that Dirk didn't lose to a vastly inferior team in the finals and then play like trash and lose to an 8 seed the following season??

Huh my memory must be fading.

I can't believe the spurs lost to those choking mavericks

[Gino]

How's Dirk been working for ya his whole career??

[koriwhat]

DIRK! dude is talented no doubt but if you can't suck it up and not be a 100% of the time then you have no reason to be on the court in the nba.

I like to stick my hands in my shorts, then bring them up to my nose to smell the taint

[dirk4mvp]

There's nothing like the taste of a 12 year old kid's love juice.

[dbreiden83080]

Goes down smooth after 4 rings

[SimonHymen]

He's also better than any current player on the rocket's roster too.

Good luck with that whole replacing the Avery Johnson "dic(k)tatorship" with the Rick Carlisle monarchy.

Go Mavs.

Avery must have really lost that team because Carlisle is not a big time coach. I can't imagine him having any major impact with that roster. Seems like Dirk and Cuban had just had their fill of Avery.

[Shank]

The Spurs have won 4 les? Since when? Does the media know about this? That's the first anyone has ever heard of that. You sure you're not making that up?

[Findog]

I think I would heard about this "Spurs winning four les" business before. After all, this is a spurs board. When did this happen?

[manufor3]

2 first round virgin teams talkin to each other....

Well Carlisle is every bit the offensive stalwart that Avery was so whatever. Here's to more of the same.

oh kinda like how switching from Van Gundy to Adelman helped the Rockets advance?
