I’m (obviously) very happy to see so much support for the Digler!

I don’t know how many more of these lists you should try, Dime – it kind of touches on a lot of people’s nerves, and it’s tough to nail down what it means to be a loser. As some people have pointed out, there are a lot of guys that will never win a chip, though they’ve done nothing but win. Then there are guys that have won a chip, even though they didn’t do jack their entire careers other than that one year.

Can’t argue with results, though – you definitely keep me coming back, so don’t mess with success I guess.

Great to see some many people coming to Dirks defence…
After all, he killed the Spurs in that conference finals series all by himself, including a buzzer beater.
Oh, and you should not forget that he played on a horrible German national squad filled with players who wouldnt even make the D-League if they tried and had some success with them ( the best player next to him was Okulaja, who was extremely injury prone and didnt even make it to the NBA, albeit a cool guy). Credit where credit is due!

This is complete bullshit. You don’t win 55 games several years in a row and make it two or more rounds in the playoffs to be called a “loser”. Are Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and John Stockton losers too? Come on.

wow dime, go back and look at the win pct over the last 8 years and see how many guys are better than dirk.

KG did not win until he was with 2 future hall of famers.

I am wondering if you guys are just racist or if you guys dont like germans? your dirk hating is now at an all time high. putting him on a list of all time losers is just ridiculous. where is steve nash? where is barkley? where is malone? where is tmac? where is iverson?

how quick you are to forget that dirk came back from a high ankle sprain after ten days and basically got his team to the playoffs in one leg? thats not heart? thats not a will to win?

iain
the point of mentioning iverson is to compare him to dirk u cant call a winner and the other a loser when both have had the same success.

you cant call dirk a loser..

i bet you he’s top 5 win/loss % if not #1 since 2000

how can that be classified as a loser?

if you’re only a winner if you win a championship then this is going to be a long list

He’s a big star. I am his big fan. I saw him dating on a FREE & HOT dating site called ” ___~TALLLOVING.COM~___”. Seems he is hooking up with a hottie. The girl is from California. Very soft and sexy.Is it ture or an internet rumor?? But i think these guys are real hookers
