Dirk is not better then Iverson at all, in any shape or form. That is a retarded as fuck thing to say.

Iverson is another player stuck on a shit team during their prime. His playoff scoring averages is fucking 30 PPG for god sake.

30 ppg on 70 FGA

that type of efficiency should be lauded

First off, Dirk is ALREADY better than AI. AI had a nice little peak but wasn't a team player. And his peak wasn't that long. If Dirk leads the Mavs to a title he will definitely have eclipsed Malone.

Terry had more to do with the Mavs advancing than Dirk did.

Nah. Not even close. Dirk has to get doubled for Terry's game to happen at that level. He's the engine for that offense.

Until last night, Dirk was the #3 PPG guy in these playoffs, with 2 more games played than the two guys ahead of him, a much better shooting percentage, better stats from the line, and a ridiculous 3pt. percentage advantage. Oh, and as an aside, he was 10 years older than those guys too...

Yeah. An AI comparison is a joke.

Dirk's a better player. If you could have 10 years of Dirk or 10 years of Iverson who'd you choose? Not to mention Dirk will have much more longevity thanks to the fact that he didn't get drunk before games and actually bothered to work out and practice. That matters.

If Dirk wins a title he passes Chuck and Malone in the PF rankings easily, overall he's already better than AI. He jumps high because of the roster. He will have won a title with his 2nd best player being either an over the hill Kidd or Jason fucking Terry. That's almost Hakeem status right there.

Why do people keep bringing up Kidd and Terry? That is a well put together team , not to mention their second best player is probably chandler anyway. Inside presence with a great PF , outside shooting and a PG that can deliver the ball? The Mavs are not some scrub team with 1 great player.

I agree except Hakeem was one of the best defenders of all time and the Rockets played like total dog shit whenever he went to the bench. The Mavs on the other hand are a really deep team and can still hang with other teams for short bursts when Dirk takes a rest or gets in foul trouble.

But otherwise I agree with the post. Honestly I think he has already passed Barkley. Barkley was an even worse defender than Dirk and not as good on offense. His rebounding was amazing but not enough to make up the difference.

Okay, you have me there.

But whatever the case, a Dirk-led Mavs team doesn't easily defeat this Lakers team without Terry playing out of his mind like he did in this series.

I don't know who I would choose, considering they have both accomplished about as much as each-other in the NBA. .

I'm not saying they are scrubs, but he's got no top tier number 2, I would argue even Duncan with Parker and prime Manu had a better supporting cast. It's rare in the NBA to win without a legit, all star type 2nd option, which is why I think Dirk winning would put him more in that Hakeem/Duncan class. It's an impressive feat. I'm not saying he'd be as good as Hakeem or Duncan.

The Mavs are a great team, but if there was no Dirk, they'd fall apart. Dirk is the REAL MVP this season.

Sorry, but it's the truth. Say hello to your newest Hall of Very Good member: Reggie Miller.

Iverson was one of the best players in the league for 10 years. Ya, a nice little peak.

Why isn't anyone talking about how bionic can take a break from posting, then come back and make thekad look Smush Parker when it comes to trolling?

That's the real story here, I think.

Dirk without a doubt and I loved Iverson growing up.

He's right. Ray Allen makes Reggie look like a benchwarmer.

Ray easily has probably the best shooting form in the NBA. Doesn't matter if he is sliding across the floor or jumping back into the stands the dudes upper body locks in and delivers for the most part.

Lakers could have had Z-bo for free multiple times. But no, they like Pau Gasol more.

The real story of the playoffs is that Portland could have had this team:


CP3
Roy
Durant
Z-bo
LMA

6th man: Josh Smith


But chose Telfair, Webster, and Oden over it

NBA GAF definitely isn't what it used to be. When I had more time I had more fun over at NFL-Age. Too much angst and way too many fucking posts without much to say and people trying too hard to be funny.

Dirk is getting so fucking over-rated in this thread right now.

He is a great player but mother of god, please stop.

Coming from the guy who said Bosh was the best PF in the league.

I wouldn't even trade this year's Gasol for Bosh.

Hey, whenever you can trade Deron Williams for Devon Harris, you gotta do it.

You're just mad because both your favorite teams were disappointment trucks this year.

Not mad at all. It was an awesome decade to be fans of both of my teams. Might be a long time (if ever) before I get to see something like it again.

And do you really think NBA GAF is as good as it used to be?
