Am I being punk'd??? Is this some kind of sick and twisted joke?? Because I'm pretty sure Dirk has the same amount of rings as me....zero.
mavs won a ring in 2006 against Miami ! where have you been ? you don't read the newspaper ?I guess they give out rings for winning the Western Conference???

I remember the parade so you are right.
OMFG it's true...
No, Timmay was the complete package. But that does not take away from Dirk. Man, he has seriously matured. He did more with less than the likes of KG, for example...
OMFG it's true...
I bet there are 50 kids in Africa sporting this as we speak.
great ing parade
great fight great moral win against wade and shaq
Chris Bosh had 30 the other night....guess he's better than Timmy too?? Or maybe he's better than Dirk too???
If D. Rose has a big game tonight I'm gonna start saying he's better than Magic/Stockton/Nash.
I love the NBA...
Truth be told, TEAMS win championships, not individual players.
Anyone who thinks Duncan has had a lot of help either didn't become a fan until about '05 (even since then, look at Duncan's front court sidekicks), is insane or both. For a number of years, he basically had to play the role of Nowitzki AND Chandler combined. From 01-05, he had no one who was a consistent second scoring threat. He had to log, not just a lot of minutes, but physically demanding minutes. He didn't get to take a break defensively and on the glass and his offensive game wasn't heavily reliant on shooting jumpers, but rather banging in the post.
Nowitzki's had tons of depth, born of an annually bloated payroll. Let's not pretend he's had little to no help. That's been the story of the Mavs run. It's not what Nowitzki's doing (because he didn't all of a sudden reach a new level), it's the amount of help he's received.
Duncan had a ton of help.
Fans tend to make the mistake of geting too caught up with how a player has performed lately to determine his overall career. Dirk is beasting right now, but let's be honest he hasn't played like this for most of his career, there's a reason he's a lifetime 47% shooter and 46% in the playoffs.
Dirk also has a playing style that is very eye catching and IMO that makes people be more impressed with a great performance by him than with a great performance of a player like Duncan. 60% shooting on fadeaways is more eye catching than 60% shooting on layups and bankshots but they're both equally efficient. Also as much as mavsfans like to say that Dirk's defense is underated, it trully isn't. He has no hops, lateral movement nor the desire to challenge shots regularly, I can't think of many seven footers that demand less respect from opposing players when attacking the rim, but again that's not something that fans pay much attention to, you don't realize there can be a block in a play until you see it happen.
Dirk is better than Duncan right now and probably one of the best 5 players in the league right now but he isn't close to Duncan overall career.
and Dirk plays like this every playoff year... except for '07 which was a fluke.
He has been great, just not as great as right now.
He's had a couple playoff runs that rival this one, if not better.

Yeah, 46%=51%
Saying Duncan is better than Dirk is like saying Brady is better than Manning because of the rings.
he shot over 50% in '09 and '10
Yeah, 46%=51%
averaged 26/12 in '08
'07 was a fluke
played well in '06
This is the first time in 4 years where his teammates have actually showed up...
You have no room to complain about the ''timing'' bro.
For 2 years in a row,you-and some other dip s on this site- were sucking Gasol's and calling him the second coming of jesus,better than Dirk etc.A 2nd ing banana player in one of the most stacked teams in the league history better than Dirk Nowitzki.
So,just gtfo with the timing bull and deal with the 100% justified praise that Nowitzki's getting.
As for the fg% percentages,they are more like 48% and 47% first of all,and also lol at using the raw fg% to talk about Dirk's efficiency.
-Dirk has been better than Timmy since the 2007-2008 season,so lol at ''now''.
-Of course Dirk isn't close to Duncan's overall career.Duncan has 4 rings and is a top7 player of all time imho,Dirk is ringless and somewhere in top25-30.
You can spin it anyway you want it but the truth is he shoots 46% lifetime in the playoffs, which is very different from the 51% he is shooting right now. Yes, he has had some great series in the past but he has also had his bad ones, that's why his shooting porcentage rounds up to 46%.
That's 'cause the arguments were who would you rather have "right now", not an overall career analisis.You have no room to complain about the ''timing'' bro.

We agree then, I don't know what you're arguing.-Dirk has been better than Timmy since the 2007-2008 season,so lol at ''now''.

It's sad to see how upset you get by Dirk's greatness.
Kinda like how argy manu fan claims manu can be the first option on a good team playing 40+ minutes a game when manu has a career average of playing barely 30 minutes a game and is injury prone.
lol manu>dirk
lol messi had a "good" world cup performance
