Obligetory(SP?) Pau Gasol mentioning.
26ppg 9rpg 3apg 48% FG, 38% 3PT-FG, 91% ft
While still keeping the Mavs afloat
It's pretty amazing that he's still giving an effort on this piss poor team.
The homer in me says Duncan, but Nowitzki's been pretty damn impressive lately.
This is why waiting until the game is over to give them props is for the best...
He just hit a buzzer beater after the Mavs damn near choked away a 12 point lead with 2 minutes to play.
At this moment? Hands down Dirk. Later? Well, history's not on his side.
Hard to argue with his play right now.
But as with most of these basketball arguments, the true test and ultimately the best answer will both come in April, May, and June.
He was just as good last year against New Orleans as he was in 06, but the Mavericks were severely outmanned. The Hornets were 1-12 and in the coaches' box just better than Dallas.
Pau for Dirk seems like an even trade.
That is true.
But I can tell you right now that this Mavs team isn't going anywhere. It's just nice to see Dirk still give full effort. It's remarkable he is doing this in such a ty team, after playing 2 SUMMER TOURNAMENTS, and averaging something like 38 minutes.
I tell you, he will we out of gas sometime, but it's still a pleasure to watch and root for this man.
Dirk + TP and Manu would equal 3 championships too.
Duncan + JET = NBA Finals appearance
Pau is a Robin. Dirk is somewhere between Batman and a Robin. Dirk > Pau.
Duncan has been too good man, even without TP and Manu he would have some rings. Dirk is amazing, but Duncan is the best PF to ever play the game. If Dirk get a ring, he is clearly in top 5 discussion.
Dirk is a Batman.
Did Tim Duncan retire? Unless that happened, Dirk is #2 at best.
Also, it's amazing how much better Philadelphia is playing without Elton Brand. Is that guy the biggest undercover cancer ever? He seems like a decent dude but other than one fluke year, his teams always suck ass.
Where are all those people that said Amare had surpassed Dirk?.....crickets
Dirk > Amare
Dirk > KG
