Mark Jackson couldn't stand seeing Dirk perform well because he is white

u mad?

No, I said he's playing at a very high level and is the 5th best PF ever. Or did you miss that part?

People think Nowitzki being white hurts him, as far as recognition, but it actually helps. Look no further than Barkley, who's been tea bagging him all season (actually, for a few, but more than ever this season). Why is he doing it? Because in the early 00s, when he used to criticize the Mavs and Nowitzki, he took heat for it. The undertone to it all (even though it was never said, it was obvious) was that he didn't like him because he was white. So now he's going overboard in his praise of him to prove that that wasn't the reason he wasn't as high on him years ago.

He's just one example. Look at all the fans on this board who love him. Spurs fans love him (which is bizarre, considering the rivalry). He's probably the most beloved player in the league on this board, by people who are fans of other teams. He's the one player, if you're not incessantly slobbering over him, you'll take heat. You tell me why? Is it because he's exciting? I'm not hating, I'm just calling it like it is.

Ya, everyone likes him too because he puts boobs in his sig.

Mbenga, you better get your ass in here and answer me

[Nick Manning]

Good find son. Stacy Keibler needs to be a fixture in your sig, tbh.

God Bless.

People like Dirk because he is a really nice guy. And after all that he went through personally in the past 2 years, I am happy for him.

Mark Jackson is a little . I hate that guy. Most commentators are so unprofessional these days.

But Nowitzki is overrated because he's white. If he were black, he'd be looked at as one dimensional and soft. But because he's white, he's "amazing and a great scorer", even though he's won the same amount of rings as K. Malone. Yet Malone, who's a better player, took more criticism in his day and I don't ever remember the masses slobbering over him.

He's playing at a very high level, no question, but he's also shooting essentially uncontested jumpers. He's 7-0, being guarded by two 6-10 guys, a 6-9 guy and a 6-7 guy. They can't bother his shot. If Brooks were a decent coach, at some point he'd have said, get into his chest, force him to put it on the floor and steer him into pre-determined help spots. I know they're shooting lights out from three, but you can't let a guy shoot uncontested mid range jumpers one after the other. Those are like layups for him. You got to either hard double, on the catch or the dribble, or help on his drives and make the proper rotations.

Some will pretend the reason they're amazed with him is his age. But his age is irrelevant. He plays the easiest game I've ever seen from an elite player. Nothing he does puts stress on his body, so he should be able to do this for at least another two or three seasons. Inevitably, he'll pile up the points and be remembered as greater than he actually is. I'd rate him as the fifth best PF ever, but if he wins this championship, some idiots are going to pretend he's second and I wouldn't put it past a few to pretend he's in the discussion for first.

Someone is in complete denial.

No one can stop Dirk stupid ass. You make it sound like you came up with some secret formula in your mom's basement. He's a great player, that's why it looks so easy.

I don't think I've ever actually read one of TD 21's wall of texts. I think I tried to read one but quit halfway.

They always seen well thought out and somewhat coherent, but I've never had time for his SpursDynasty-like opinions.

You should take the time, you'll be enlightened. Reading one of those is far better than reading ten mindless, irrelevant posts, like the vast majority of the ones populating this board. Seriously, how many of these people, particularly the so-called "name posters", are actually here to talk ball? All I see is a bunch of pathetic people looking for attention.

It never fails, though. Nowitzki is the one player, who, if you don't slobber over, you'll be criticized for it. Yet no one can give a half decent answer as to why that is.

I read this post. Mostly because it doesn't consist of 17 paragraphs. Sometimes it pays to be succinct.
