Other than Kobe and LeBron, who else is better than him this season???
He is a top 5 player this season, hands down

This season - nobody. He's done this several times this year, won them a game that they had no business winning.
Really think about how many big shots he made tonight. And they all looked like they didn't have a chance when he let them go.
I think Kobe is the only other player in the league that can hit those kinda shots.
I'd put Melo up there this year, he is playing exactly like he did in the playoffs
True. Forgot him.
But Wade and Howard are having subpar seasons for their standards, CP has been hurt, Roy has been OK, KG and Duncan are way past their prime.
Another spectacular performance down the stretch from Dirk.
top 5? I have him as the top 2, playing on such a ty team and still has them at top compe ive condition
if i didnt say top 5 all the kobe, lebron, dwade, d12, melo, duncan, oden and CP3 suckers would get there pussies hurt
ok I've always wondered how you get your usernames a different color. Do you have to have a certain # of posts?
Dirk basically hit three game winning shots tonight.
Good game for the troops.
The only PF in the league I'd take over Pau is Dirk. He's the best Pf on the planet.
Dirk is better than everyone in bold
Why don't you tell spurfan that![]()
God, finally a non-Mavs fan that knows what is up.
Dirk has played like the 3rd or 4th best player this year... Kobe/Lebron 1/2... Melo/Dirk 3/4 it's up for debate. Paul/Howard/Wade are bigger, more marketable names, and quite frankly Wade at his very best >>> Dirk, but Dirk has outperformed all 3 this year.
He also had a broken finger. Why doesn't he just sit out 3 weeks and let it heal? The Lakers will be fine in the long run, no team in the West can realistically touch them. They might lose the #1 seed in the interim. JET broke his finger last year and missed 3 weeks. What is the prognosis if Kobe goes on the shelf for that finger?
Scoring is the only advantage Dirk has over Duncan, Gasol and Howard..he has a huge usage % advantage over all 3 of the other guys, which helps his scoring numbers..he's the least efficient of the 3, and when you take away his FT shooting, it's a huge disadvantage to his efficiency numbers..
His passing % is lower than Duncan and Gasol by a HUGE margin..his rebounding % is lower than all 3 of the other guys by a massive margin..while he's become an average/sometimes above average defender, he's still significantly behind the other 3..
Dirk might be playing better than them this year, but it's very arguable..if he's better, it's pretty much by default due to Howard having an off-year compared to what we're used to seeing from him, Duncan's lack of help leading to losses and Gasol missing games..
I don't really care if somebody says Dirk is better than the 3 of them, it CAN be argued in his favor..but he's getting really overrated here, after being underrated by the media and general fans for a few years..
No clue. I haven't seen anything about it besides he'll play with it.
Dirk has always been better than Gasol. Gasol was a mediocre #1 in Memphis and he's turned into a great #2 in LA. What Dirk does for Dallas and what Gasol does for LA can't really be compared.
I agree that Dirk is better than Gasol, I'm just saying, the separation people seem to think he currently has over those 3 is exaggerated IMO..
TP, Ginobili, , McDyess, & Blair are not help?
Duncan has a very good supporting cast, they just haven't played like it this year so far, as you would probably see in the high numbers of meltdown threads about Parker, Ginobili and Jefferson this season..
My point is that Duncan's play has been absolutely great so far, but it might go unnoticed outside of here due to the Spurs underachieving..
