    Yeah, I think you're right. He's definitely a lot more polished than Barbosa.

    Not like that's hard or anything, I'm just saying. I feel bad for Barbosa cause he has the talent and at ude of an all star, but he's just so in stupid that he ceiling is a stupid one dimensional that can finish fast breaks and come off screens.

    Not that it's of any relevance, but does Barbosa ever dunk?

    I think I've seen him do it a couple of times, not positive, but it almost seems he could have one of those Payton dunkless streaks going.

    I've never seen him dunk, I too don't understand why someone as lanky as he is who can jump as high as he can never dunks. If I could dunk I would

    If I thought my knees would follow me, I'd love to have that feeling again.

    I've seen the guy play plenty of times and I just could't help but notice that he'd always lay it in, even if he had clear sailing.

    It kind of boggles the mind that a young guy like that, with that much explosiveness, never has the urge to just throw one down..

    ^that's why I feel bad for him. Humble as can be, works as hard as he can, but he's just so dumb he can only work so hard before his brain needs a break or it'll forget a ball handling drill.

    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.

    But he is not on the same level as some of the players mentioned in this thread.
    This.......

    All the things you say he can't do he has done it almost his whole career (beign the number one option, playing close to 40 minutes per game for entire seasons, etc.) and he hasn't done any other thing besides winning so please stop inventing things to try to sell them as facts.
    a fiba game lasts 40 min. His team in italy was stacked, like the argie NT. He was the best player but I don't think he's ever played 35 min per game in a season.

    IIRC Manu went ape on back to back wins against both the Jazz and the Mavs while TD got injured in 2007/2008... he on Dirk and the whole Mavs squad for 37 pts (he also scored the same amount vs the Jazz)... he was the main gun there and that should be a flash of what can Manu do as the franchise player... I can bring more than 50 games of his NBA career with examples like this...

    but how did he get himself injured that year, and consequently caused the Spurs to get ass raped by the Lakers in the western conference finals?

    The Spurs are only a great team when they can avoid Mavs, honestly I can't remember a playoffs series the Spurs won over Mavs in recent years. However, when the Spurs met Mavs in 06, 09, the winners were always Mavs.

    Who gives a what casual fans think? Dirk will be remembered better than Manu.

    And btw, to answer your question: Before his injury, King. After his injury, Dumars.



    Robert Horry has 7 rings; Dirk has 0. Ergo, Robert Horry > Dirk.
    You can bet that in 20-30 years if Dirk does not win a ring, Horry will be a much more remembered player and Dirk will be just another in the long line of NBA players that scored a bunch of points. It has always been about the rings. I understand that you have to try and make it about something else. What else can you do? The only time you get to see an O'Brien Trophy is when you visit San Antonio.

    I can also visit LA to have a look at the O'Brien Trophy. Plus, don't you think it's still too early to judge Dirk will retire without a ring? Even if Dirk wouldn't gain a ring unluckily, there will still be more people remembering Dirk than those remembering Breath who has 3. Don't tell me you know everyone on the 91-93 and 96-98 bulls rosters while haven't heard about Carl Malone, Stockton, Charles Barkley, etc...

    This is true. Nobody remembers Pistol Pete Maravich, who retired a ringless loser. But they do remember Charles Johnson, who won a ring with the 1975 Golden State Warriors.

    It has always been about the rings. I understand that you have to try and make it about something else.
    No, this thread is about who is a better player, Dirk or Manu, and which one would complement Duncan better. Since the obvious answer is Dirk, I understand that you have to try and make it about irrelevant ring smack.

    What else can you do? The only time you get to see an O'Brien Trophy is when you visit San Antonio
    Why would I visit San Antonio? What is there that I would want to see? I like my women under 3 bills.

    Cuban will be generous enough to take the bills, unlike a cheapass owner that cuts Tim Duncan's salary in the only order to avoid luxury tax.

    So what? The Clippers won 19 games last year. They looked awfully good in those 19 games.


    he was the main gun there and that should be a flash of what can Manu do as the franchise player..
    .

    Exactly. Manu only demonstrates flashes of brilliance. For every 37 point explosion, he has two more games where he's invisible.

    There's a lot of sore asses in this thread, all covered in black and silver. The most hilarious thing is when they resort to ring smack when they lose an argument. Doesn't matter what the argument is, they bring it in when it has no relevance.
