I bet Boozer wouldnt mind being around LeBron either.
That dude made one of the most underhanded moves I have ever seen in sports.
considering he was the one who left I somehow doubt it. sides he's top dawg now. and at worst he'll be 1a. w/ lebron he'd always be second. some ppl are alpha males through and through.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I think you might be the only person outside of Germany that believes Dirk is better than arguably two of best power forwards of all time. To each there own I guess or something........
It would depend on the person as to who they would pick. Right now, people would have a hard time putting Dirk above those two, but he is in the conversation. If you would have asked someone after last season's Spurs series and Suns series, many people would have said that Dirk was better than both of them.
The only way we can put it in proper perspective is when Dirk has been retired for a couple of seasons and we can look back on his career like we can Malone's and Barkleys. Dirk has turned the Mavs franchise into a winner and an annual contender. He is a great player.

Saying Dirk is as good as Malone and Barkley is crazy. Barkley for one could do anything he wanted to out there. And if you were putting together say a dream team, Malone is my first pick at one forward.

Except for play defense. Barkley was one of the worst defensive forwards of his day.

Duncan is head and shoulders above Malone. Malone's numbers dont even look that good next to Nowitzki's.

Who would you take in their prime? Malone or Dirk.
And Barkley wasn't that bad of a defender in his day.

Barkley didnt really even try on defense. I always laugh a little when he makes boisterous claims on TNT about this team or that team not being able to win it because they dont play defense. For one, HE never won it BECAUSE he didnt play defense! Ha! Did he even want to win a championship? I guess not!
Personally, I would take Nowitzki over Malone. Dirk still hasnt come out of his prime and probably wont for another 3-4 seasons. I will probably get into that more on the all-time draft thread, but among other reasons, Malone was a dirty player and I really cant stand that.

Malone did manipulate the rules, but when you think of all time great forwards Dirk doesn't come to mind.
Im not saying he isn't good, he is. But don't try and tell me hes in the same league as Malone.

Malone's career numbers are equal to Dirks numbers last year except he did it for 19 years. Get Dirk's pecker out of your mouth.

Kind of like the display of character you showed after the Mavs set records losint to the warriors after running your mouth all year like you are now. You act like you are the NBA INFO MINISTER but don't realize no body respects your takes due to the fact of how homeristic and spineless you are.
