Most of you are black and don´t like Dirk because he is a “whitie” who can play Basketball. Be serious, accept that he is good and a Superstar. He is a Leader but what should he do? Score every Night 60-70 Points if he takes every Shot? He needs help from Terry, Kidd and more…

He is great, Period!

oh damn!!! you got me on that one didnt you?

come on man you can do better then that right? RIGHT?

try again!!!

yep the better man does not always win, yep the spurs are playing like shit right now but then their leading scorer has missed the every game so far, now their second leading scorer is out. hmmm will they return, sure they will, have they won titles? UM YEAH!

so i ask again, you CAN do better then that weak as shit right? RIGHT?

Sorry dude, Barkley was a beast, I want him in my team. But he is a loser. So is Iverson, for example. Ask them if they feel winners and they will ever regret not winning the chip.

As regards the tough department, you have to be smart enough to show some balls and avoid being out of the game. Remember Rodman? He is the purest sample of toughness.

Horry is a winner. One thing is to be skilled and great player and other is to be a winner. When you have both, you have the greatest of all times.

Just to mention a few: Magic, Jordan, Kareem, Olajuwon, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Billups, Sheed, Shaq, Kobe (I cant stand him, so that proves im not bearing a grudge against no one) and the list goes on an on.

Dirk will never be there. He will always be a skilled player with a soft attitude, just like Gasol, Yao and all those players destined to loose.

Peace

sorry man but you are LOST!!! get your head out of dirks ass and lets look at numbers here (since you cant figure that part out) then we will go to the rest.

dirks regular season numbers (taking out the 2 seasons he has not made the playoffs)
regular season vs playoffs
pts 24.5 and 25
rebounds (the one i give him credit for) 8.6 and 11
assists 2.7 and 2.5
steals .9 and 1.3
blocks 1 and 1.1
fouls 2.6 and 3.1
and now the %%%
reg, fg 47% playoff 45%
3 pt, reg 38%, playoff 37%

so lets recap here, points went up a minute amount (more minutes???) rebounds went up significantly (which i have repeatedly credited) assists went down, steals up not even 1/2 per game (more minutes) blocks went up .1 per game (more minutes?) fouls went up 1/2 a block per game (more minutes?) and yet his shooting % has actually GONE DOWN! and i got those numbers from the same play you link yet not look at!

now to the winners, see the thing about comparing the names you named and dirk, he cant even come close to them. icant believe you have even tried to include dirk with malone, barkley, wilkins, ewing. he is not (and most everyone here will agree) even close to thier levels.

as for people who win titles, sure htose are some great names, and sure darko won a title, so yes he was a winner at one point, just liek scalabrini was a winner this past season this does not make them winners above and beyond. so again what has dirk won? he has NEVER even met those guys level if you look at it that way.

try again, go back and repeat yourself another 3 maybe 4 times with your BS and we might believe you. NAHHH NEVER MIND we are not going to agree that dirk is a winner, that he is tough.

and i would like to see my “star” stand up for himself. you put your hand in my face, i AT LEAST knock it away. nobody said get in a fight, but dirk got PUNKED. he is a pussy. SOFTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that said, GOOD NIGHT NOW!

There ya go. It’s a real simple matter of subtraction. Go ahead and subtract the REGULAR SEASON numbers from the PLAYOFF numbers. Some of them are pretty big (such as the ppg one), but you can do it. When the vast majority of your results are positive, try not to be surprised.

And you’re right, he hasn’t won a championship. So, to reiterate, you’re suggesting that Malone, Barkley, Wilkins, Ewing, etc were all losers. If you’re ok with that, I guess I have no choice but to call Dirk a loser in great company. You probably only have 3 favorite players – Russell, Jordan, and Milicic. Cause don’t forget, Darko won a championship! He’s a winner!

Again, in the playoffs, you would rather your star get into a fight and get himself suspended? You must have loved it when the Suns got bounced from the playoffs because their players came onto the court against the Spurs.

Both of you are ignoring facts. But I’m sure that you’re hits at Robert Horry’s parties (since he’s the ultimate champion, right fellas?).

And yes I agree he is carrying his team…to constan failure.

He may be an All-NBA or even MVP of the regular season, but when it comes to prove your value, during those seconds where the great players appear…he is out like one of Dime Smack last sentences

No hard feelings. Dirk is a great player, but not a superstar, neither a winner.

Peace

when does he/has he ever played defense?

dirk has no cock and balls man, case in point, what happened when david west put his hand ON DIRKS FACE? dirk “turned the other cheek” so to speak and left. pussy! no way a nba player who is “not soft” lets that get by. i mean damn stand up for yourself man dont puss out.

nuff said!

1st, you better go check numbers again, if you consider dirk didnt make the playoffs his 1st 2 season (where he averaged 8.2 and 17.5 respectively) this would be apples to apples. that said, his points would average almost exactly the same (but i would not expect you to do the math so here it is, he averaged 24.5 points) his rebounds did go up, his steals went up by .4, his blocks went up by .2, and now for the big one, his FG % WENT DOWN BY 2, AND HIS 3 POINT WENT DOWN BY 1%. and his fouls went UP from 2.6 to 3.1 per game.

better go do some math before you call out my numbers buddy.

Dirk hasn’t missed the playoffs in almost a decade. He’s been to the Finals, Conference Finals, and out of the first round of the playoffs repeatedly. Furthermore, he’s been the only All-NBA player on his team for as long as he’s been on the Mavericks, so yea, he was the guy carrying the team.

Any other way you want to define “loser”? Again, please try to dispute any of the facts I just put down.

He doesn’t play D? This is a much harder category to quantify/qualify, but I would point to his 8 (and counting) consecutive All-NBA appearances, not to mention the fact that he’s led one of the best defenses in the League for the past three years.

You’re right, though – someone his size with his skills SHOULD be a beast. He IS a beast. It’s just funny that it takes so long for that fact to get through some people’s skulls.
