LOL wow you searched all the way back to 2006...Ok, next time I want to post a question on this board, ill ask your permission mr. message board etiquette guy...sound good?
his career would lose respect if he was considered a C. as a Center he is on the fence as a top 5 center. as a PF he is the best of all time no discussion. im sure he lets the league know never to change it

No way he would "lose respect" imo. Like you said, he would be in the discussion as a top 5 center of all time. The center position holds more prestige than probably any other position in the sport.
anyway, like others in this thread have stated, it just shows how great he has been....the fact that he is either the top PF of all time or a top 5 center of all time.
1. He does not "play like a power forward" imo. He plays like a traditional pivot imo
2. What makes you think someone is "complaining" or "criticizing" him?
3. It's not a big deal
Why do the Mavs insist on listing Dirk as a PF.........
everyone knows he is a 7' vagina....there is nothing power forward about him.
well your opinion is worth about as much as trying to use Monopoly money to buy a new car.
Hahahahahah
Ha
so what does it mean if no one player on the Spurs has been able to contain him?
it means the Spurs arent a bunch of tampons......of course Dirk was aided by the refs giving gift trips to the line all series. On almost half of his trips to the line, there was no actual foul....I mean zero contact by a Spurs player. Then, on several occasions, he was allowed to shove Spurs players out of position from behind without being called for over the back or an offensive foul, while going for rebounds.
of course Mavs fans are in complete denial about this subject matter and will get very bitter, angry, and make me out to be a whiner. The Mavs would have won the series anyway, but it sure made it way easier with the refs taking turns sucking Dirks Donk.
LOL Dirk's FT attempts were as follows:
game 1: 4
game 2: 9 (Spurs win)
game 3: 4
game 4: 5 (Duncan had 18 FT attempts)
game 5: 8
I think biggems needs some tampons

Tim is listed as a PF to confuse other teams. This tactic has contributed to their 4 Championships.
And like I said, on about half of them, he wasn't even touched. just handed the FTs. So you can throw up FT stats. I said he got away with a lot of stuff. It wasn't just the foul shots he took. He got away with over the back on rebounds...that doesnt compute in the FT column. He got away with shoving players out of bounds from behind to secure offensive rebounds and putbacks. , in game 1, he shoved Bowen out of bounds 2-3 times right in front of the refs and no whistle. I am not talking about a little nudge either. Also, I know Bruce can act and overreact to contact, but these were legit shoves. Those no calls hurt, as the Mavs scored on those possessions. BTW, all 3 should have been offensive fouls.
Now, weakening my argument is the fact that Dirk did get whistled for several offensive fouls in the series. In fact, I believe about half of his total fouls in the series were on the offensive end. I dont mind the refs letting little tick tack fouls go....calling those just slows the game down to a crawl and makes it boring to watch. But when the foul is absolutely obvious and happens right in front of the baseline official....blow the damn whistle.
Here Dirk was getting to the line on phantom call after phantom call.......but his teammate Brandon Bass couldnt buy a trip to the foul line in a few of the games....I mean I saw Bass get hammered on many occasions and NO WHISTLE. I guess since he is a roll player, he doesn't get the same calls as Blondie
I see him as both. PF/C wrapped up in one big man named Timmmay.
it's obvious, duncan has a huge ego, he wants to be remembered as the best PF ever and wants to start at the ASG.
Because he's Tim Duncan. If he wants to be called a power forward you call him a power forward. If he wants to be called Shamu you call him Shamu....
