You don't think Dirk would have done any better against Hakeem? I mean no Mav fan here will ever discuss what would have happened if Dirk went up against Hakeem. They can't. They won't. Its a thread ender.

another win for the MK
to my fellow s
mavfan is hilarious, they make fun of spurfan for supposedly being homers yet make a one-way player out to be one of the greatest of all-time
Robinson was dominant on both sides of the ball. His offense in his prime was just as explosive as Dirks. His defense was light years better, regardless of the fact that he got dominated by a prime Dream in 95'. Using that series to discredit his all-world defense is like using the GS series to discredit Dirks all-world offense. Robinsons role players never hit the shots Dirks role players hit this year, Robinson never had one of the highest payrolls in the league, etc. Anyone with half a brain and without Dirk's balls down their throat realizes Robinson is the better basketball player.
But they won the argument because they have trolled successfully.
I guess MK is unequalled when their objective is post like re s. Top notch talent, tbh.
tbh Dirk Destroyed that trio much like naruto destroyed your ST career.
spurfan is hilarious considering their nonstop argument as to why the spurs players are so great are rings (4 rings got!), and suddenly rings are not a part of the conversation whatsoever just to suit their argument.mavfan is hilarious, they make fun of spurfan for supposedly being homers yet make a one-way player out to be one of the greatest of all-time
if you really want to get technical, since suddenly winning a championship and being a great leader means nothing now, Tim Duncan has a very solid career of averaging 20 ppg, 11 rpg, and 2 bpg. If you just posted those stats, and not the accomplishments of a player who put up those numbers, they are no doubt great numbers, but you would hardly consider those to be stats of someone who should be considered a top 10-15 player of all times. but obviously his leadership abilities goes a lot farther than those numbers.
same for Dirk and Robinson. Dirk found a way to lead his team to a championship, and got to the Finals another time. Robinson never even sniffed the Finals. And don't use the "he didn't have a good team" or "he played in the Jordan era" horse , because he had his chances when MJ retired, and he had a very solid team. He had chances, and had a team that was very capable of getting the job done. He didn't step up, Dirk did. He's remembered for getting abused by Hakeem and choking. Dirk is now remembered for putting up multiple legendary performances and stepping up in the 4th quarter as well as any player in NBA history.
So your three in a row meant your ass was only pretty sore?six posts in a row. somebody's ass got really sore.
or an entire plane full of people.
*meow*
Tbh dat nig greenborohill did some regulating imho
I'm over the loss. So you admit your ass is sore?
Did you just made that up? How about a 13/17 in a championship clinching game right before he retired? How do you define these things, just randomly pull it out of your ass as you see fit?
Doesn't make sense when one does the same ."
Never knew there is a rule about posting consecutive posts ... Zissou regulating the interwebs by pulling random rules and forcing people to comply.
Nahh . When you have two great players, like say KG and Duncan who are both all-world on both sides of the ball then sure leadership can be the difference maker. But not when you're comparing a dominant offensive player to a player who dominated on both sides of the ball. You cant just completely ignore Dirk's mediocre defense and rebounding like that. Not to mention this had his share of chokejobs, with 06' and 07' probably being even bigger than any DRob ever had.spurfan is hilarious considering their nonstop argument as to why the spurs players are so great are rings (4 rings got!), and suddenly rings are not a part of the conversation whatsoever just to suit their argument.

He reached the WCF two times if Im not mistaken before Duncan, so I wouldnt exactly say he didnt sniff the Finals. And he had a very solid team? Come on we both know thats false.same for Dirk and Robinson. Dirk found a way to lead his team to a championship, and got to the Finals another time. Robinson never even sniffed the Finals.

Does this year completely erase all the times where he not only missed shots, but would sometimes even dissapear and defer to the likes of Terry? Watch the last 5+ minutes of Game 3 in the 06' Finals, attempts like one shot. Watch the meltdown against the Blazers this year. The near meltdown in Game 6 against the same Blazers where Terry had to come through in the clutch. Dont kid yourself, Dirk has had his big moments especially this playoff run but he is nowhere close to being one of the best clutch performers of all-time.Dirk is now remembered for putting up multiple legendary performances and stepping up in the 4th quarter as well as any player in NBA history.
*meow*
Dirk ringing and solidifying himself as a top 20-25 player of all time really hurts FkLa's feelings.
Seriously, I'm glad for Dirk and how this playoff run ensured his legacy won't be diminished by ignorant fans who can't see how unique a player he has been. It just pisses me off when people want to make Robinson eat the sandwich alone for 95, as if Rodman's antics never happened. I'm sure it was Shaq and Cuban chasing him around with a bible that made him such a disaster in LA and Dallas too.
Only greatest finals performances are needed to erase past choke performance is a concrete rule just made up by Zissou, tbh.
lol magic
lol bird
lol both were poor defenders with other massive holes in their game
lol still 2 of the 10 greatest players ever
WCF = Finals?
Gotcha.
They won 62 games. You don't win that many games without a solid team.
Everyone has their times when things don't go their way. Even guys like Jordan, Kareem, Hakeem, Bird, etc... wasn't flawless in this regard. But there are a lot more times that these guys did succeed, as opposed to not succeeding in these situations. Same for Dirk. For every legitimately bad clutch performance, I can name 2 great ones.
It has been 2 minutes, I am waiting for another random rule that everyone has to follow because Zissou says so.
*top 10-15 actually, but only offensively
Ive said the was the undisputed #1 on the Mavs this year. That hes one of the best offensive players of this generation. That his fadeaway is a probably a Top 5 most unstoppable move of all-time. Enlighten me as to what else Im missing.
