That was a pretty awesome shot he made.
He has one bad series last year and everybody writes him off. Complete bull . He was amazing in the 03 playoffs before he got injured, played well in 04, 05, and a complete beast in 06 (50+ point game against the suns and he raped the Spurs all series long including that... ing layup).
A lot of you guys on this board are simply haters. Calling Dirk a choker is like calling Manu a choker, probably even dumber.
Man up and show a great offensive player some respect.
Seriously, I don't know how many more game-winners/deciders he'll have to hit until people get it.
Instead of the hating we need to worry about our own team that can't do in the 4th quarter of games.
That was a pretty awesome shot he made.
I agree. The whole "Dirk is a choker" has become over the top to the point where it is completely ridiculous.
Dirk faded like a soft woman in the GS series, but he has been clutch many times for the Mavs.
Let's see how he comes through in the playoffs.
No matter what Dirk does he is a choker, just yesterday I was having a argument with some lakers fans that Dirk wasn't a choker of course they all forced the issue that he was a choker. If Dirk misses a gamewinning shot people start in threads about how much of a choker he is, if he makes a gamewinning shot people make up some excuse. I'm sick of the but I give props to you for being realistic. This is why I can get along with most Spurs Fans. Very classy of you I really appreciate this TDFAN2007
Next time Dirk misses a game winner, even if it's with .3 seconds left and he has the ball at half court, people will say the same thing, "he's a choker". It's selective memory with him, once the media has portrayed an image of him being a choker.
It is unbeliavable how many lesser players get much much more positive rep than Dirk, eventhough they have had maybe half the career that this man has.
Unless Dirk wins a ring, and let's just that few players have that honor especially in our era of Duncan & Shaq, he will always be considered a choker and guys like AI, Melo, Arenas, KG, TMac (well he gets a lot of undeserved crap too), LeBron, Nash eventhough they haven't won it all themselves either will be "tough", "gritty", "intense" and whatever else.

by the way, you should all read this great piece on Dirk
you, OP. dirk has zero heart and is soft. don't cry because people call him what he is, a perennial unclutch loser. dirk. cry me a goddamn river.
You are a bag... off idiot
Dude you're probably hands down the dumbest poster on this board, I don't think anyone gives a what you think. 03, 04, 06 playoffs are proof that Dirk is clutch, and someone posted a link a while back showing that Dirk has the best 4th quarter numbers in the league this year. Seriously you probably think Kevin Martin is a superstar, right?
Shut up, why should a Kings fan be talking any ?
Lol this guy really thinks his ty opinions count. He's never had a decent take since he showed up on this board. I think that post deserves a:

Dirk hit a game-winner tonight. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes!
Too bad this is far from his first game winner, but being such a knowledgable Spur fan you would already know this right?
The sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then.
This is for you Spurs fan:

Shutup Prick, Dirk dropped 50 on you fools in the 06 playoffs, How about on sunday when Dirk hit the dagger in the final 30 seconds and what did Stoudemire do on the other end of the floor? brick both freethrows. Stfu you piece of
That shot led directly to the promise land didn't it Fin?
This is for you Suns fan:

You're cool, MrChug, but don't you think it's a little ironic for Spurs fans to call out Dirk as not being clutch? Considering he sent them home with clutch play?
He will choke again in the playoffs... He always does...

Ironic? I'm not sure I would characterize it as that so much, at least the way this Spur fan feels. I certainly have never categorized Dirk, himself as a choker. The Mavs however? Maybe.
With that said however, my theory is fairly simple. If I run a sales business (and I do) and my people can't sell , who get's the blame? Me. I'm the leader. Dirk's the Mavs leader whether he wants to accept it or not. It's simple-it goes with the territory. He get's the glory and the ridicule. He's gotta go down with the ship if it sinks. It's fair enough IMHO.
