    If FIBA is so much better than the NBA, why do you post in NBA forums?

    No one is saying Manu is not a fantastic player. Everyone respects him and he has his moments where he looks like one of the best players in the NBA. He is a great teammate and compe or and has that "it" factor.
    I agree. Manu is a winner. He kills himself physically for the teams he plays for. He is unselfish, but not afraid to take big shots for his teams. He doesn't take plays off. He plays without fear and is a warrior. That said...

    But he is not on the same level as some of the players mentioned in this thread.
    QFT. Mainly just his inconsistency than anything else. He's breathtakingly brilliant some nights and an invisible non-factor others. Dirk is better AND more consistent.

    He looks down at us NBA fans with pity knowing his league is better and "a lot more physical".

    It's funny cause I've never been a Manu hater at all, in fact the Parker fans on this site underrate the out of him, but it's not even a close call Dirk > Manu as the 1st or 2nd option.

    Euro leagues are more physical.....just cause the s that play in Europe fall down a lot more and make it look like it's more physical, doesn't mean it is. In America we have this thing called dignity and pride, which means not looking like a puss trying to draw a foul.

    In an era when the Spurs, Mavs and Suns were 3 of the top 4 or 5 teams in the League? I think the Spurs unquestionably do just as well, if not better. Dallas would've been eliminated as a rival, so only Phoenix and whatever ball Eastern team made it out of that bracket would've been standing in their way.

    He learned from the best......Vlade Divac......all I know is, before Europeans came along, no one flopped. The NBA was about toughness before men that wore purses started to play.

    Well, it's not like Dallas was a rival until 2006, really. But I do get your point.

    Not in DAF86's mind it isn't. DAF86 is like KBP, the only difference is he isn't a troll, he really thinks Euroleague = NBA.
    Manu has been a number one guy on all of his teams except the Spurs and all those teams won championships. Granted, FIBA isn't at the same level as the NBA but if a guy is inconsistent it doesn't matter at which level he plays he will still be inconsistent, and an inconsistent "franchise player" can't lead his team to a championship, at least not as regularly as Manu has lead his teams to championships.
    Really stop the making up... or don't... what do I care?

    I'll stop making up the day you admit Manu's gold medals and Euroleague achievements are irrelevant to the NBA....until then, I have the right to be as dumb as you.

    Threat, Rival, whatever you want to call it. Point is the same. One less obstacle.

    Whatever makes you sleep better at night...
    Flopping exists and it spread because it's a successful play. You can cut it any way you want it, and I personally hate when it's so blatant, but if they get away with it, then you can't blame the player for it.

    What it says in your sig is absolutely true, you can also rephrase it like: "most people in the world don't give a about basketball" but you have your head to deep inside your ass to realize it.

    Why is it Spurfan glorifies every Mavs player that plays well against SA (Bass, Diop, Harris) except for Dirk? It mystifies me.

    If he left the Mavs, they would no doubt refer to him as Dirk Bird Nowitzki.

    I hate it, and unlike a lot of Suns fans, I know every team does it, not just the Spurs. Just making sure you know it's not an angry Suns fan speaking out of frustration saying,"Flopping sucks."

    I gotcha. Nash has grown a nasty habit at it too. But you can't blame them if the league keeps on buying it.
