    As a matter of fact, Dirk might just have been the most one-dimensional MVP ever. But don't take it from me, just ask any Warriors fan.

    Good point. It's a shame we didn't get to see a prime Sabonis in the NBA.

    Yes. Dirk is the greatest. Second is Tony Parker. Third is Vlade.

    Would be nice to write something about your '10 thing'.
    I would like to discuss them with you.

    not saying much? are you serious?

    the implication that he might be better than tony parker is saying a lot all by itself!

    btw, big drazen fan, but... no. he was not better than dirk.

    Dirk can only do one thing at an elite level: shoot. He really doesn't help his team outside of shooting the basketball, which is why he has a tendency to disappear in a game when he's not scoring the ball. If I was starting a team, I wouldn't want Dirk as the first option player, and I really wouldn't want him if I didn't have a legit center because he's not a real PF.
