David Robinson is what everyone thought Dirk was

[badfish22]

LOL at Mav fans completely ignoring Terry's( I hate the little , but he is clutch as at times and scares me) and Barea's offensive contributions in the 2011 playoffs( and also ignoring chandler's and Marion's defensive contributions). To me it looked like they were the 2nd and 3rd options throughout the playoffs after Dirk(just like how Tony, Manu, and Jack took turns being the 2nd option in 03), or was it Dirk doing everything to win?(scoring, rebounds, passing, defensive, etc) And they also ignore the fact that he had HOFamer Jason Kidd to help him out! Truth is, it takes a team to win a championship.

Truth is, replace a prime Robinson with Dirk 2011's supporting cast, and that team would beat the living outta of Robinson's 95 team.

Barea,Terry, Kidd>>>>>>>>>>>Vinny del Negro/Avery Johnson
Marion>>>Elliott
Chandler>>>Rodman

I don't know if they will beat Hakeem's Rockets, but they'll probably take them to 7 imho.

This whole thing was a joke right? I really can't bring myself to respond to it.

Robinson was a better player than Dirk. No dispute. If you had a chance to build a team on either player, you'd do it with robinson.

Also, Robinson was a rod strickland bad pass away from playing jordan his second year in the league.


Robinson could outrun and outmuscle nowitzki. You put Dirk on that Robinson 95 team. Houston sweeps.

Anyone who thinks Dirk would be a better franchise player than Robinson prolly only watched MJ highlights throughout the nineties.

I like this "maybe if I'm really strong in my stance, I'll look smart" approach.

So tell me, what would be the series against olajuwon if you substuted Dirk in for Robinson on that spurs team?

[Ignignokt]

I take the guy that knows how to close games and be unguardable when it matters.

that's nice. How would have dirk carried the 95 spurs team against the championship rockets?

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Robinson>Dirk, but Dirk still has a couple more years left, so we'll see what happens. But at this point, an amazing all around player who contributed in every way is still better than an exceptional jump shooter.

It was more the

that I was referring to.

Seriously? Picking on a retired for over 10 years player who is an outstanding human being? What's the point of that? You Dallas fans are completely classes, pathetic, sorry human beings.

Dallas, classless hole. Prob a top 3 city in the us in classlessness that I've been too

PS - He retired in 2003. He hasn't been retired for over 10 years, lol GNSF.

Exceptional jump shooter who leads his team to a le > Amazing all around player who couldn't get it done as a #1

[Monostradamus]

same people who would argue on end that KG > Dirk because KG got a ring and Dirk didn't, supporting cast be damned. Now when it's stated that Robinson couldn't ring as a #1, conveniently the "supporting cast doesn't matter, leading your team to a le does" argument goes out the window.

Then they say " Robinson was co-leader in 99 and was the spiritual leader in 03" and point to a 13 point performance to prove it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It's also funny how Terry, Kidd, Marion, and Stevenson are all the sudden clutch big time performers Spurfan talks up as WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than anyone classy Robinson () ever had

then of course pre-ring, when it was convenient for their argument, it's "Terry, Kidd, Marion, Stevenson and everyone else besides Dirk is a choking scrub!!! Cuban is a classless moron and that's why Dallas will never win a le! I bet the Rockets will be better than Dallas this year! Dirk is an idiot for signing a new contract with this team of scrubs!"

[DPG21920]

Winning a le is the worst thing that could have happened for MK because now they have nothing to scoff anymore since they aren't the sad little puppies. Now they are basically going through the first GNSF stages because they are so damn giddy.

So how would have dirk done against the Rockets in 95 in place of Robinson?

Don't care. He got it done in 2011.

Ok.

Well.. The fact that MK spends such an abundant amount of time on this forum, still speaks volumes about who they are and how they hold themselves up. They're not men, none of them are "hardass" no matter how much they puff themselves up, they still spend the majority of their time on a Spurs website, like dorks.

[DMC]

This kind of mindless banter is why we go to the experts for their analysis.

How do the experts rank David vs Dirk?

I will live with that.

So list the stages. It seems they are now in the "our guy is the best ever" stage.

Is the next stage "we get no respect as a team from news outlets"?

It's ShoogarBear's "so why exactly does Mav Fan spend all his time on Spurs message board? Is it because other Mav Fan websites are like exercise bikes that got a little too close to Dirk?" except remixed for 2011.
