Yes. Basketbal is just that simple.

Glad you agree.

[pegasus]

No. Stupid logic.

It isn't the only reason for Dirk being the best, but that logic does confirm it.

Dirk played like the best player all year long. If it wasn't for his injury in the middle of the season, he would have won the MVP. Then he played even better in the playoffs, for about the 90% of the games. So, yeah, he is the current #1.

[greensborohill]

No. Stupid logic.

I'd rather have Dirk on my team to close out games than those two. Game 2 showed me all I needed to know.

15 point lead, 13 point lead in the 4th in game 3, 9 point 4th quarter lead in game 4.

Take Baby 'Bron 'Bron & Mr. Glass, I'll take the reigning Finals MVP

[AlphaWolf24]

Yes. Basketbal is just that simple.

If someone veiws you as the 3rd best player....and the #1 and #2 veiwed best players are on the same team with another top #15 player...and the #3 player leads his team to a championship beating the #1 , #2 and top #15 player in the NBA Finals while the #2 player puts up a choke job for the ages.....


yes it is that simple....we don't need to make even more complicated then it is....

jeez....

Not to me.

The revisionist history that dirk was in the running for regular season MVP is hilarious.

Wade > Bron

Why do you always give me all the ammo I need to rip you a new one, then only to disappear after I do so? I won't fall for it this time.

Revisionists saying winning doesn't count , it's all luck , leaders don't really impact the team and aren't responsible for the pulse of the teamates is even more hilarious...

squirm little Lebra apoligists...squirm!......muhahhaaaaahhaa...muahhh hhhaahhhahahahha





2 Top 15 teamates(1 is a top 3 player).....and still choked harder then Gloria James at NBA players union meeting....

[Kblaze8855]

Glad you agree.

I do. Basketball doesnt even need to be watched to know who plays it best or why some teams win and others lose. Its really not a complicated sport at all. Its something like arm wrestling.

[Doranku]

Yep, Wade sure closed out the Celtics and the Bulls. Oh wait...

Da f*ck? Wade was Miami's best player against Boston.

[DMV2]

If you watched a few Mavs regular games last season you'd know that Dirk was possibly the most effective/best team player in the NBA. The thing that hurt his MVP chance was he didn't stat-pad his numbers like other superstars did. That's why his PPG was only at 23, yet he shot 50+% and some games he'd shoot 70+% while scoring 20+.

If you go look at his game log, I think you'll only find 1 out of every 10 games where he'd put up a stinker.

[kaiiu]

Dirk averaged like 23/7/3 on 51/39/90 with 57 wins , 1 less game than the Heat.

how come he shouldnt be a " MVP"

So all the other MVP candidates stat padded all year? GTFO with that bs.
