LOL fail. When discussing individual merits, you can be an all time great and still have deficiencies. What's being discussed is if you performed at a championship level or not.
Shaq is an all-time great. Shaq is a bad free throw shooter. BUT Shaq has displayed championship level free throw shooting.
Similarly, Dirk is an all time great. Dirk is not a good defender. BUT in 2011 Dirk played championship level defense.
So you're saying Bruce Bowen is ringless because of his offensive inep ude?
LOL Fail.
To be an all-time great do you need to be a great basketball player? Does basketball include free-throw shooting? Shaq is an all-time great ipso-facto Shaq is an all-time great free-throw shooter.
I'm saying he won les despite his offensive liabilities individually. The team was good enough to overcome and he contributed overall. It's ok.
Again, when dissecting an individual's game, it's natural to see areas of excellence vs. areas of deficiency. That's part of what makes individual players unique in various ways.
The point you keep gloriously missing, however, is that analyzing a champion is different than analyzing an all-time great. To play at a championship level requires but one thing - to compete while winning a championship. If you played, and you're the champ, then guess what? You played at a championship level. Again, it shouldn't be this hard.
What. The. . Dirk is not a good defender. How ing hard is that to understand??
Did his offensive liabilities cause him to go ringless? yes or no?
Nobody's arguing that you dumb . Dirk is not a good defender. Everybody knows that.
But Dirk played championship level defense in 2011. And there's nothing you can do about it.
As long as we're clear numbnuts.
You can call his ty defense every adjective in the dictionary and it wouldn't change a thing. Proceed....
LOL Fail. The point you keep gloriously missing, however, is that what is implied by saying someone does something at a championship level is that they are elite in that regard. You can play defense at a championship level and still lose, because your offense isn't up to par or vice versa.
Just because you won a le, doesn't mean your team or the individuals within it all played championship level everything in the context of the word.
Again, it shouldn't be this hard.
Bonner played championship level defense in 2007.
DAF didn't post 50 times in a Dirk thread once in 05.
implications and reality can be very different things, it's time you learned that.
I wasn't alive in 2005.
I wouldn't know because I didn't see. If he played during the 07 Finals, then yes he did.
CROFLMAO Mono's logic is ing re ed lolol this got quits on his team and is looking for attention now with strawman arguments
lol dunking on an 8 foot goal.
What does that video have to do with anything, BadFish? That would be like me making the argument Dirk is a choking loser and always has been in the playoffs until this year, then posting him missing those free throws against the Heat in the 05 finals. Does that make it right? Do you think that Dirk up until this year was a playoff choking loser?
Mono has jumped the shark and even his ty analogy thread failed
Dirk Played Championship Level Defense.As long as we're clear numbnuts.

lololol Bad , Tyson Chandler and Mono all viewing thread, it's like a who's who of bad posters
Dirk Played Championship Level Defense.
So he wasn't in the NBA? I guess they just let anyone in the NBA. Earl Boykins must have been lost and wandered onto a bunch of teams as well.
