Best Player in Texas???

[Amarelooms]

We all know the answer sons...no need to hurt feelings. God bless

[BoricuaCJA]

And?????? Who has the best career in texas from players playing now??

[Leetonidas]

Currently? Dirk Nowitzki.

Obviously Duncan destroys Dirk in his prime but that's not the present reality unfortunately.

[jaffies]

Luis Scola?

[barbacoataco]

Nowitzki is the best right now. He is one of the hardest players to defend in the history of the game. I have to say that when he is on he can not be stopped. How can you defend a fadeaway jumper from a 6'11" guy?

In his prime Duncan. #2 player in Texas is Ginobili.

[jjktkk]

I'll go with Jason Witten.

cool story bra

[ALVAREZ6]

interesting thread bro

[Blackjack]

You really want to put more expectation on a player, team with a choker label?

Stealth Mode, mucca - Spurs been doing it for years.

[ALVAREZ6]

Most rings in Texas??????????


crofl, total combined rings of all Maverick players, all-time?

Less than Nazr Mohammed, TBH.

[TD 21]

It sure isn't that one dimensional, chronically overrated punk putting up Bargnani-esque rebounding totals.

Nowitzki is the only 7-0 I've ever see that can get away with being completely one dimensional (not to mention, being a career long choke artist) and have people slobber over him constantly. Gasol can throw up 21/9 on 60% and have people rip him relentlessly. You know how I know? Because that's exactly what he's doing this month.

Amarelooms, do you use the pink elephant on dm.com?

[oski1000]

How many won Nowitzky???

Best Texas players last decade: Duncan, Ginobili, Nowitzki.

I understand Texas is huge and I'm from Texas myself but.... why do people keep making an imaginary award for the "best in Texas". There is only 3 teams! There is no trophy or "TEXAS MVP" award! I just think this is weird and worthy of NO bragging rights at all. Especially as a Spurs fan, I would never start a thread like this. Our standards and goals are far beyond being the best out of three teams.

Nowitski is the best BB player in Texas right now, followed closely by Manu.
The greatest BB player in Texas has to be TD by a long margin. Nowitski doesn't even, nor will he ever, come close.

[Phillip]

Currently? Dirk Nowitzki.

Obviously Duncan destroys Dirk in his prime but that's not the present reality unfortunately.

Destroy? Not quite. I think they both pretty much are a deadlock going head to head at their best. Both of them have extremely unique skill-sets, and neither have ever been able to guard each other effectively. Pop would never let Timmy guard Dirk straight up, even when Timmy was in his prime, and Dirk was still developing.

If you are talking about career accomplishments, then sure, although Duncan pretty much destroys the vast majority of players in NBA history in those.

[JR3]

Mav fans have to find small victories- its their MO.

[Phillip]

its funny how many gnsf got massively trolled here by ing amarelooms of all posters

Duncan > manu

The spurs would not even make the playoffs without Duncan.

[Shank]

lol still going with that "choke artist" bull that lives in your feeble little minds

[mikeschy55]

uh.... duh, roddy beaubois

[mikeschy55]

Is this really an argument in spurs land?

[8FOR!3]

Ehh, Ginobili's better than Nowitzki, Duncan's defense this year has been so solid that he's just as good or better...
