    In that case, Nash wasn't a legit star like you said.
    No one on the Mike D'antoni Suns teams was besides Joe Johnson and maybe Boris Diaw (seriously the guy has legit talent). Amare clearly needs a system to create space for him since he is worthless in congested lanes. Nash we all know he's an above average point guard w/o D'antoni but not an MVP. Marion we all knew was a product of Mike D's system from the start.

    The Suns would be one of the bottom feeders this year if they still had Marion instead of Shaq and Porter was coach.

    Heck, D'antoni was a good defensive coach considering the job he's done compared to Porter.

    Well this thread went a complete different direction.

    First off, Duncan is best all time, no one disputes that.

    Second, as Garnett told us, even the biggest "losers" can win if they have the right cast around them. I am sure Dirk can, and I think his 2006 run does prove that. The Heat won either because of horrible officiating, or because Wade had a run that was statistically the best in history (even better than Jordan ever had) that almost no one can do anything against. Fact is Dirk has never had anything like the Ginobili of 2005 or Parker of 2007 on his team. He has had good players around him, often overpaid by Cubes' rich pockets, but never a legit AllStar sidekick while Dirk was in his prime.
