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.

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

Post by hawkwing »

It is looking increasingly obvious that Dirk N is by far the best single basketball talent on the court. Man, imagine what he could do surrounded by even better talent.

Imagine the result tonight if Dirk is 100%.

The only thing keeping the Heat in this series are the Mavs' hoarde of unforced turnovers leading to momentum-killing easy buckets for the Heatles.

I'd say it's a tossup between him and Wade. D-Wade has played extremely well in this series, but a part of it can be attributed to him playing as part of the "Big 3" (Big 2, if we're honest).

I'm not a fan of Wade. Does anyone embellish the way he does? You'd think he was an Italian soccer player the way he goes down at the slightest contact. And even if there's not contact, he still goes down and hopes the refs bail him out. Like at the end of game 2, when he fell to the floor touched his face and looked at the ref wondering why a foul wasn't called on a half court shot at the buzzer. Guy is kind of a tool.

Yeah, not much of a fan of Wade for the very reasons Spiff mentions. He is talented, but describing him as an Italian soccer player is perfect. The guy preens like a peacock over the slightest good, and bemoans the slightest ill.

I agree, I didn't say he wasn't a tool or that I was a fan, per se, just that he's playing quite well right now. There's nothing that irks me more than the soccerization of the NBA.

I really think Wade could be the third best #2 of all-time (after MJ and Kobe), but he's such a pansy that he'll never get the props he might otherwise deserve.

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

You mean the same D-Wade that was blocking Tyson Chandler?!
