Dirk never announced this was his last season. Both of you need your facts straight. He just sucks so bad that everyone thinks it is.
God damn shame that he got an all star appearence closer to Tim's hard earned 15 though
comparing manu to hof legends like wade and dirk

The two times Manu made the ASG are the only two seasons he played more as a starter than as a sub. Coincidence?
Plus haven’t Wade and Dirk stated that this is for sure their last season? By doing so that have advocated for a sendoff tour. The NBA didn’t know when manus last year was going to be and Manu never publicly stated that it was his last season.
My mistake that he didn’t formally announce it. But everyone knows he’s retiring after the season. He’s accepted retirement gifts. Every time he plays in a road game, he gets cheered by opposing fans. Of course he’s retiring. It’s a disingenuous argument to think he’s not just for the sake of using it in a Manu debate. He also said a while back that he did NOT want a retirement tour, and that’s likely the reason he didn’t formally announce it.
I don’t like him and Wade getting added since now they’re both bench players. But it’s the ing all star game. People shouldn’t care that much anyway. You think Manu cares?
First of all Manu is a HOFer for sure. No doubt. He has 4 rings and his gold medal among other accomplishments. However, he wasn't disrespected by the NBA. Wade and Dirk have pretty much made it known that this is their last season. Manu didn't decide until after the season was over that he was done. There was no way of knowing if he was done.
Dirk and Wade are more accomplished than Manu in the NBA when it comes to stats, but Manu will get into the HOF just like they are.
Manu doesn't care. He already got gifted two all star appearances over Parker who was putting up more points and assists in both years. Just hope they treat Tony the same. He's had a better career than Wade.
Besides LBJ and Ray Allen, who else benefited more from catastrophic Manu -ups more than DWade and Dirk? Perhaps this is what makes the Manu fanbois salty about this year's All-star snub?
Manu isn’t in the same class as Wade and Dirk
both of them are top 25 all time
In terms of personal stats and accolades in the NBA he might not be. As a basketball player Manu is definitely on that second tier where Dirk and Wade are, right behind the GOATS like MJ, Timmy, Lebron, etc.Manu isn’t in the same class as Wade and Dirk

lol
Manure fans
That Guatemalan wasn't even second tier on his own team
'Member when he fouled Dirk
I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I just know that's how it is, tbh.
If OKC's ownership wasn't cheap, Harden would have spent his entire career like Manu did. Stupid s would probably still be saying that Westbrook is a better player than him.

Harden is twice the player Manu ever was. Don't know why playerfans keep going with this agenda that they're somehow equals....
Listing their accolades doesn't make sense here..the ASG is a popularity contest, the NBA is giving the fans what they want..
Manu is significantly more popular than Dirk, so that's what the argument would be in that regard..
Ultimately, they're doing this because LeBron wants Wade in the game, though..
this VC's last year too or no?
Hall Of Fame here Manu's comes. I think on March 28th, or the day after, they will need to do work on the roof and the foundation of the AT&T Center. It's gonna be fun....and intense!
Notice how Vince Carter didn't get an honorary spot despite being somewhat of a legend?
Pretty crazy that in his last year, Timmy was anchoring an all-time defense on one knee en route to winning 65+ games....
Even Manu at times was carrying a team composed of mostly scrubs outside of LMA to a playoff berth, even managing to get a playoff win against one of the greatest teams of all time in the Dubs....
Dirk/Wade are obviously all-timers but the league and their respective lottery teams are practically begging them to retire at the end of this year
This. Pop is to blame (having him come off the bench his entire career, when he was clearly a starter) for Manu's subpar NBA stats. That fact is plain as day. But at the end of the day it was a double edged sword, because we got 4 rings out of it.

Yet you wouldn't be saying this if Harden spent his entire career as a 6th man in OKC.
I would take prime Manu vs prime Harden any day off the week, twice on Sundays. Manu played with wreckless abandonment and played both sides of the ball at a high level.
You could say the same thing about Pau tbh. I mean everyone hates him now, but from his rookie year, until the Lakers 2nd Championship, dude was one of the very best (probably the best during the Lakers run) bigs in the league.
Pau isn't retiring after this season.
