A Gold Medal would have been sweet on his resume. That, and a DPOY.
True, David Robinson must have paid off some voters if he got in without any Euroleague experience.
exactly, that's why there once blew some rumors that Kobe and Lebron both were considering playing in Europe after 2010.
Fellas, Dirk isn't even the biggest HOF candidate on the Mavericks!
No, I'm not talking about Jason Kidd. I'm talking about 2004-05 NBA D-League MVP Matt Carroll!
Does Manu have a D-League MVP trophy? I think not.
Timmy is too unpatriotic to win a gold medal for Mother America, which is too bad--he could put all the foreign players asleep with his play.
Carroll > Jordan (no D-league experience whatsoever).
In short he wanted to be an olympic swimmer and win gold. Then due to cir stances he turned to basketball, wins almost every award imaginable, goes to the olympics but doesn't win gold.
Sorta funny how things work out.
Even Breath has more leverage to run for HOF than Dirk does, since dude has got 3 rings with the Lakers while Dirk has none. Too bad we traded him away earlier this summer, because the ringless Marion is definitely not as valuable as Breath.
Son players with three rings don't come along very often, why on erf did you guys get rid of him?
even Rogue getting into the action
I have never appreciated the Marion trade, it's was just a typical unsuccessful deal made by Donnie Nelson who is an idiot.
You guys should be trying to sign Fabricio Oberto since he has a ring.
It's a merciless pile-on now. I love that he calls him breath. Surely the Raptors must now be included in the same conversation as Cleveland, Orlando and Boston since D George and his Bird Rights are now rocking it in the T-Dot.
Finley w/ Dallas = No rings
Finley w/ SA = 1 ring, therefore:
Finley w/ SA > Finley w/ Dallas
Hey, I'll trade Antonio Daniels and Sean Marks for Dirk. They both have rings, so the Hornets would be doing the Mavericks a favor.
I'll take Durant over either of them. But I like Dirk more than KG right now.
Mitch Richmond with the Lakers >>>>> Mitch Richmond with the Kings.
I didn't think NO's GM was that stupid.
I see that folks in here have to resort to bad Luc Longley jokes 'cause they don't have any arguments to continue with the discussion.
P/S: I didn't even say that Manu is a better player than Dirk, I'm saying that he had a better career therefore a stronger case for the HoF.
Yup, players with rings are precious fortunes for the team they play on, and it's precisely the reason why Suns purchased Shaq in 08, though it's been proven a failure.
You can't have a better career if you're not a better player. Manu has the same # of rings as a #1 guy as Dirk: 0. He's got one less Finals appearance as a #1 guy than Dirk.
Robert Parish in 1987 <<<<<< Robert Parish in 1997
Manu also cost the Spurs another Championship with a pointless foul.
His accolades are purely cir stantial. Right place, right time. I wouldn't say his career is better.
Bennett Salvatore etc.
He has lots of more championships than Dirk as a #1 guy, including the Olympics.
