Mavs: Dirk is retiring

[DAF86]

like I said not an american TV show. Also again it's biased since it's Spanish. We all know these clowns view Manu as an Honorary Spanish/Hispanic guy. Too bad the majority of American fans don't view it as an achievement. In the States it's viewed as a fluke. America wiped your asses when they sent their A team in '08, '12,'16.

Did Manu your wife or something? Why so much brain numbing hate son?

You are a cuck. Judging by your mindless slurping of him he probably did sleep with your wife.

[Mark Celibate]

If we're talking the era that he played in, if you give Manu a supporting cast similar to Dirk's in the Western Conference, I think he could lead a team to the playoffs as a perennial 4-8 seed type team depending on the year. Probably many first round exits, a couple of trips to the second round, and maybe one WCF if I'm being generous (the Boozer/Williams Jazz made one after all).

That it was the only time that the US didn't win gold when fielding NBA players.

It had as much to do with luck as it did accomplishment. The US team that year imploded and fell apart for reasons unrelated to Argentina. Two years later in 2006 the US couldn’t even win the FIBA championship and lost to a bunch of goat ers in Greece

Maybe, still one of the greatest feats of all-time though. Let's also not forget that it was Manu's Argentina that started that US team implosion handing them their first loss ever two years prior in Indianapolis.

that's a crazy overexaggeration. How can you say that? Yeah the US is historically the dominant country in basketball, but not in the early-mid 00's. 2002, they got sixth place in the FIBA championship, 2004 they lost to a ty Puerto Rico team, and struggled again in the 2006 FIBA championship. Argentina beating the US in 2004 is not a significant upset considering Argentina was a Top 3 country at the time.

After the US, they're just beating teams at or below their level. Other than one upset, I don't see anything significant at all about that gold medal. You guys are acting like he dragged some third world hole like Somalia to the top

Thanks for proving my point son.

Wait a minute now. The Lakers imploded too, in typical Kirby Lakers fashion they bent over once the going got tough and Bynum literally went after a midget. LeBron curled into a fetal position in the Finals. I don't see you bringing that up to discredit Dirk's ring though. Double standard much?

[FkLA]

Except for the fact that you described an imaginary player.

Nah, his name is Emmanuel David Ginobili actually.

The two teams you’re talking about won multiple championships in other years. The 2004 US team lost to ing Puerto Rico by 20 points.

Their implosion was completely internal. Larry Brown was the dumbest possible coach for that situation and the roster was a show.

Argentina didn’t have to do with them losing to Puerto Rico by 20 points

[daslicer]

Trust me that's how I feel about your stupid black supremacy takes.

So? That doesn't change the fact that in 2011, the year Dirk rang, all those things happened.

Not to mention the fact that the Heat didn't even have Ray Allen yet and were starting Joel Anthony.

Ilgauskas/Bosh/James/Wade/Chalmers


Anthony/Haslem/James Jones/Miller/Bibby off the bench


they were just fine in 2012 without Ray Allen, tbh, against a way, waaaaay more talented team in Durant/Harden/Westbrook/Ibaka all on the same team with Sefolosha, Jackson, Perkins, Muhammad, Cook etc to round out that roster.

Missed this thread . FkLA has re ed opinions on just about everything . No, Manu isn't greater than Dirk. You'd have to be a moron or malaria net buying soccer fan to think otherwise (funny how soccer fans side Manu).

My favorite player of all time. May he have success for the remainder of his natural life and may he be blessed after that.

It was heartbreaking watching what he endured from 2003-2010, and that 2011 le was so so so sweet

[Ghazi]

It is kinda lame after 2011 we never even fielded a team CLOSE to being a contender, but such is life I guess.

Hitler wasn't as bad as people paint him out to be today, but his means to an end just escalated from reasonable to bad to worse to historically evil. His idea all along from the late 1920s onward was to make Germany a strong world power and provide an enhanced, wealthy version of socialism (with plenty of room for capitalism) to ethnic Germans. Think basically all the benefits of communism/socialism without any of the negative stuff like super high taxation, government control of your life and business, etc. as long as you're an ethnic German. Basically the Jews, Slavs, and nonwhites were meant to be forced worker bees (but still fed and provide housing) for the benefit of the Germans to all live upper middle class to wealthy lives. Unfortunately things got out of hand when he tried annexing too much territory and pissed off the West and the Soviet Union got too big and powerful for him to ignore. Then, Hitler panicked. But originally, nobody, including Jews, were meant to actually die.

Just want to remind everyone how this guy thinks...
