ESPN Panel Chose Duncan and Nowitzki Instead of Duncan and Garnett

Garnett

13.9 blocks
5.4 assists
1.3 steals
.9 blocks

impressive.

Garnett might act like an ass, but he's not a thug. I wouldn't consider Iverson a thug either.

Karl Malone, on the other hand...

Dirk has stepped up his game this year. He's actually become a reliable defender... especially compared to the liability he used to be. A lot of this has to do with moving back to the PF position and having Dampier to back him up. And with the kind of success the Mavs have had this year (and they have not been without their fair share of injuries) I think he would definitely be a worthy starter.

Thug? You want a thug example?

How about when he rabbit punched TD from behind in the 99 playoffs, during a timeout?

Is that a good enough example?

Well just to be specific, it wasn't exactly a time-out. It's not like Garnett walked to the Spurs bench and punched him in the back of the head. David Robinson and Joe Smith got into it, IIRC, and Duncan was trying to break it up and Garnett pushed him in the back of the head or something. How about the mother's day comments he made to Tim knowing his mom was dead or the in-your-face talking he did that time they both got ejected at the SBC?

Garnett's a punk.

You can also add the "street cred" knowledge of "gats" he threw in during a postgame interview in last season's playoffs: Something to the effect of saying "next game we are going to come to the court with 45's, uzzies, bazooka's, sawed-off shotguns, etc....."

I know that may not seem as bad... but, personally I don't associate my life with weapons. People that do are either in the armed forces, goverment officials (police, FBI) or criminals. I'm not including hunters in here because they are in a world of their own....

keep saying things like about him and Iverson,

and youll be accused of being a racist like me.

Watch it.

Nothing about your post--just wondering why you have the vidio replay of a rather routine drive and kickout pass as a signature or whatever they call it> Surely there are better videos of Manu available.

[QUOTE]West center
Likely fan selection: Yao Ming

Stein's selection: Yao Ming

Comment: With Amare Stoudemire and Duncan insisting on being listed as forwards, Yao has no reasonable opposition. It doesn't hurt that Yao, in spite of all the bashing this season, is still averaging a productive 18 and 8.[QUOTE]

I would say Brad Miller is the second best center in the NBA. The Kings are winning without Peja and C-Webb, something Amare couldn't do without Nash. Unbelievable how Miller is still underated. Besides Shaq, he is the closet thing to a top center of the mid-90s.
