Is there any doubt that Dirk is the best player on the floor

Discussion for professional sporting events/teams and players.

This would be a great place to discuss the Super Bowl, the NBA Playoffs or whatever else.

I might be hard of hearing, but I think he's missing the "r" in "Dirk."
It's a soft "r."

If this is the same guy, then "yes."

So, because he blocks shots, he can't be a flopper?

1st video- Kidd has both arms in the back and clearly extends his arm and Wade sold it. EVERY player in the league does that. You could easily show highlights of Mavs players doing the same thing in the same game, I can assure you.

2nd video- Look closely/slow it down... He was poked in the eye.

I am sorry, Dwayne Wade puts his body more on the line than nearly every other player in the league. The way he plays means that he will spend a great deal of time going down. I just don't buy the critique especially when you show videos of plays that you can see pretty much every player in the league doing.

Having said that, watching the way Dirk has played in these Finals has been great fun for any basketball fan. Amazing stuff.

Anyone notice how many times the announcers said, "And Wade thinks he was fouled"? I swear I heard that at least 10 times tonight.

It can be argued that when Dirk was healthy this year the Mavs have been the best team in the NBA.

Hence they're up 3-2 in the NBA Finals.

My question is when does Lebron James officially join the Heat? Is it next year, because he sure hasn't shown up yet.

IMHO this heat team is no better than the cavs team he was on the last few years. And the Cavs would have been better if LBJ had actually put some effort into his playoff games while in Cleveland. AND it seemed like he was having more fun in Cleveland. The guy doesn't do well with pressure.
