The Second Banana: Dirk vs. Manu

[benefactor]

You mad 'cause you didn't get the result you expected?

No, I am just in awe of the stupidity.

It was an anonymous poll. This one makes more sense:

How can you be so sure that Manu is so much worst than Dirk when you haven't even seen half of Manu's career?

You sound like if people were saying that Manu is better than Jordan.

[DAF86]

Do you remember Manu at his prime? the guy would put 25 points per game taking just 9 shots attemps.

Since you all love pretending let's pretend.

Put Dirk on the Spurs at age 24 like Manu when he got to the NBA playing behind Duncan and Robinson, let's pretend they would have still defetead LA in 2003 and then go onto win at least two of the next 4 championships. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have developed the way he did on the Mavs. At best He would be now considered a great sidekick to one of the greatest of all-time and depending on the season he would be a bordeline all-star.

Now put Manu on the NBA at age 20 (so he has time to develop on the league and doesn't waste two of his best years adapting as a rookie and a sophemore) on team where he could be the man. I'm sure that with time he would lead a team pretty far into the playoffs ('cause that what he does, sooner or later he will win) maybe don't win it all but deep enough to be considered a bonafide franchise player.

Who do you think most NBA fans would select as the better player?

Those are the remarks I would like to remember.

A poll of 46 people over 102 makes more sense. Maybe you should take back that resume you sent to Gallup.

How about you start actually using your brain. Two great front line players>>>>great front line player and SG. Every single time.

no need. Manu never got to Dirk talent or dominance level. or if he did he did only briefly, maybe in 2005. Dirk has consistently held that level for many years. He won league MVP! that alone makes him > Manu

Shaq and Kobe > Tim and Robinson from 2000 'till 2002

robinson was past his prime

20 votes in 1 minute? lol Bump.

[LionZion]

Confused with this whole thread.

Why is Dirk a second fiddle? He is a franchise player, whatever his faults maybe.

Manu is not a franchise player. But Manu is the killer for post season.

How can we compare the two? If its franchise players, well, I would take lazy fat overweight Shaq from early this decade and still win more les with him alongside Timmeh. Nobody has embarrassment of riches in this league other than LA and Celts.

So if its second fiddles we are talking about, Manu is all I ever hoped for.

[DAF86]

God dam, this DAF86 mofo is all over Manu's nut sack.

Hi Courtney didn't know you post here.

Shaq and Kobe > Tim and Robinson from 2000 'till 2002

You're comparing DRob and Timmy to Dirk and Timmy? DRob was a s of himself in those years.

[Rogue]

the 3 time champ over the choking 7 foot guard

Robert Horry has 7 rings, so it's inarguable Robert Horry is among the greatest players of all time NBA, and you can only list some guys serving the celtics dynasty as better players than him.

[Thunder Dynasty]

Dirk > Manu

Shaq and Kobe > Tim and Robinson from 2000 'till 2002

Again, use your brain. 90's DRob with 00's Duncan would dust the three peat Lakers.

[Frank Lucas]

People who think Manu > Dirk are shooting up too much blue magic.

[Jim_Rome]

Amazing. Unbelievable.



Manu fans are on the prowl in this thread. I don't know what's more pathetic. Actually buying an Ungrateful Dead album or casting your vote for Manu in this thread. I'm baffled. I'm guessing if you voted for Manu you more than likely casted your vote for the republican ticket last year also. How's that working out for you? Oh wait, you couldn't have, because you live in a country without running water. It's cool tho. At least you have soccer.


Rome. out.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

[Frank Lucas]

All I know is that every team that was lead by Manu won everything it could.

God dam your one stupid Argentinian .

[Alonzo Harris]

Damn , I can not ing believe what kind of low grade bull is goin on in this thread. Are you Manu fans able to sleep at night or does your bull opinions keep you up? There's a difference here, Manu fans. Decide if you're going to be a sheep or a wolf.

[Old School 44]

I can live with Dirk/Tim>>>>Manu/Tim,
but Dirk/Tim>>>>Jordan/Tim? I'd take the latter combo over any two front line players.
