Charley Rosen: Gasol is better than Dirk Nowitzki

[sribb43]

I'd take Dragic over Dirk any day of the week.

so would Steve Kerr

[scanry]

Speaking of choking, how about Manu's touch foul against Dirk? How about the spurs blowing a 20 point lead in game 1 last year and a 17 point lead in game 5?


Or a 2-0 lead in 2004 to the Lakers?

Yeah shut the up, thanks.

You really want to go there?

I can bring up the 2006 Finals & the Golden State series for all i could care, but hey i think they deserve (actually only Dirk deserves) a break. The rest of the Mavs team are an embarrassment.

BTW nice going Cuban for overpaying a bunch of scrubs. Dirk deserves more than that 20 mil you're paying to play for these Mavs.

Right, this thread is about Dirk. If you wanna blame him for all the shortcomings of the Mavs then do it in another thread. Dirk IS the best European or foreign player of his generation, and arguably the best non-American of all time (if we keep Hakeem out of that list).

The list of non-US players of all time goes something like this:
1. Sabonis
2. Dirk
3. Oscar Schmidt

and then the rest.

[leemajors]

gasol is a better back to the basket post player than Dirk, but that's about it.

[resistanze]

Gasol better than Dirk? Seriously?

Manu > Sabonis.

[Shank]

Holy , this scanry guy is an idiot.

[Double-Up]

I don't know what Rosen is on but I'm taking Dirk on my team over Gasol 10/10 times.

[IronMexican]

I love Pau, but Dirk is simply better.

[hater]

Anybody still remember 06 playoffs?

Dirk school Gasol at will and Dallas Swept Memphis

come on

Dirk had great teamates. Gasol had trash.

Back then, Gasol > Dirk.

but now it's the opposite

[pauls931]

All I say is he's the perfect complement for the lakers and an example of how team financials can f' things up occasionally.

but now it's the opposite

Dirk has always been better.

[hater]

I disagree. Dirk has become better since 2006. Gasol has stayed the same or regressed

[dirk4mvp]

Dirk > Pau

Dirk > Manu + Parker

[dirk4mvp]

Yeah arguably. Dirk is a grade A choker down the stretch. I hope you saw how he clanks free throws today when the game was on the line.

I'd take Manu & Parker over Dirk any day of the week. Atleast those guys have delivered during the post season.

Dirk averages 25 and 11 in the postseason. You're a ing idiot.

[hater]

Dirk > Pau

Dirk > Manu + Parker

Duncan >>>>>> DIrk

[resistanze]

No, Dirk has always been better.

I think Pau is actually playing the best ball of his career. He might have had better numbers in the past while overextending himself as the #1 option.

[IronMexican]

Manu delivered in last years WCF

[djohn2oo8]

That is such bull . Everybody knows Gasol plays NO DEFENSE

[dirk4mvp]

Duncan >>>>>> DIrk

Well, now that we've got that out of the way, do you have anything relevant to add?

[sribb43]

come on

Dirk had great teamates. Gasol had trash.

Back then, Gasol > Dirk.

but now it's the opposite

how about Gasol has never been and never will be better than Dirk

Wow, you have no idea what you're talking about...

no way dude. you have not seen Pau play in Memphis then. he was a beast. He was mentioned in MVP talk a few years ago.

And yet, Dirk still whipped it out and nutted all over his face whenever they matched up.

[ElNono]

Let me add that while I completely think Dirk is soft, as I said many times, Gasol is the softest in the league... There's not even an argument there...
