I totally agree with him on his Manu > Dirk opinion.
Hey, Manu won two Euroleague les or some . Therefore, Manu > Dirk.
Just as always.
Free Cristal!
its gonna be ok.
In the last 4+ years who has the most game winning shots with under :02 seconds to play? Is it the Black Mamba? Lebron "next Jordan" James? DWade?
Nope......
Dirk Nowitzki has done this eight times, including four in the last two seasons. Wade has done it five, no one else has done it more than four.
I thought Dirk wasn't clutch. Come again?
fluke shots. nothing to see here.
Dumbasses always shut up once you bring the stats out.
There was never doubt Dirk could dominate in the regular season. He is very streaky in the playoffs though. He needs to relax. He looks so uptight in the playoffs.
You try having your ass cheeks hold onto a straight pin when a 20 mule team is pulling on it. Dirk did it.
There's a difference between being a clutch player and making gamewinning shots. It's nice that Dirk has come through like that, but I don't see those shots as proving that he's "clutch".
Clutch players don't contribute to the team blowing a huge lead with 5 minutes to go in a game that will put you up 3-0 in the Finals. Especially missing a key free throw. Clutch players don't allow defensive strategy to take them out of a series completely like Dirk allowed to happen against Golden State. Clutch players put their foot down, draw a line in the sand, and say "There is not any force on this earth that will stop me from winning this game/series/championship"
And it's not that Wade or Duncan or Kobe has never blown a game or a series the way Dirk has, it's that Wade and Duncan and Kobe have also made enough clutch plays to win a championship. They drew their line in the sand. Dirk hasn't. And for the record, I don't consider LeBron a "clutch" player either yet.
for sure
dirk's having a solid year. his defense, especially help D, has been a nice surprise
funny that spurfans now wanna use PER rating as if it means something just because timmy has a superior rating, despite the fact that dirk was constantly being at the top of the league for so many years prior and moron spurfans dismissed the stat
how convenient
dirk is clutch as . all the proof you need is that just about any lame-brained fan of an opposing team would agree that when they see dirk with the ball in crunch time, they are scared less, much the way as mavs fans we would be scared to see guys like kobe, lebron, wade, and others with the ball in crunch-time. we just dont get to see dirk from that angle, so its easier as mavs fans to discredit his clutchness.
and in all honesty, the whole "soft white euro player" has something to do with that image too. its the reason some people label dirk as a "choker", while someone like KG gets labeled as an "all-time great" and a "winner" when KG is far worse of a choker than Dirk could ever be.
In the last 2 minutes of a game, I'd take Nash. In the last 5 seconds of a game, I'd take Dirk.
Clutchest big man in the NBA.
Dirk got ed out of the Finals, let's just get that out of the way. The shot that put the Mavs up in Game 5 was clutch as , and would be a career defining, championship shot if not for the worst call in the history of the Finals.
So that discredits D-Whistle's le, as for Duncan and Kobe... well yeah in their primes they're better than Dirk, but they also had all-NBA caliber sidekicks. Dirk's sidekicks aren't even All STARS (Howard/JET).
you mean nash + a load of picks
give me dirk. he can work with picks, work off the ball, or work iso.
nash doesnt demand double teams the way dirk does. he just demands someone that knows how d up and can fight through a pick.
That's why I'd take Dirk in the final 5 seconds, because he's much harder to block than Nash. But I've seen Nash hit way too many shots in the clutch to take any other player in the final two minutes. Doesn't he have the highest Clutch FG% in the league? Gotta find that stat...
and he still comes off of a load of picks and does most of his work against ty defenders or ty defensive teams. dont get me wrong, hes clutch as , but a good defensive team/scheme can stop him a lot easier than it can stop dirk.
I'd love to see how many turnovers Nash has in the last two minutes.
Link?
And to elaborate on my first post...Dirk is great, he's been an MVP candidate no doubt, but to claim that he is definitely and undoubtedly the best PF in the game today is simply a case of Mavs fans going crazy after a couple of big shots. The game is played on two sides of the ball, plain and simply put Dirk doesnt make a huge impact on the game defensively. I love how you guys criticize Dwights offensive woes, which I completely agree with btw (I find it ridiculous that people automatically consider him a Top 5 player despite his lack of a post game and automatically give him most of the credit for the Magic's Finals trip last year when Hidayet was their playmaker offensively), but than turn around and completely overlook Dirk being an average defender. You can go ahead and say he is the best offensive PF in the game I have no problem with that, but overall there is a guy here in San Antonio that despite being a senior citizen still impacts the game more than Dirk.
he is. and it's kinda obvious this year.
