Its amazing to me how many people forget to mention TD's name w/ the GREATS of the game. Baffles my mind.

Maybe he should yell "hibachi" every time he takes a shot or blow on his fingers after he makes one. You know, things that get you talked about on ESPN and whatnot.

It's a shame that people can't seem to accept a guy who doesn't try to stand out with anything other than his play. Instead they just call him boring.

This situation isn't unique to Duncan, Joe Sakic gets the same treatment from the media. Hell, they call him "Quoteless Joe."

When all is said and done, Duncan will be one of the top ten players to ever step on a basketball court.

I think the best players post MJ have been Shaq and TD.

I'm a Spurs fan but I would give the slight edge to Shaq because he was dominant during his prime.

Yeah, it's a shame TD still doesn't get the recognition he deserves but he likes it that way.

DIRK is this years mvp

.

The media once praised players like Duncan above others because the values were different in the media and in the communities.

In the world of rapid-fire highlights and dirty laundry, hibachi sells.

Great post.

I voted for Nash, but after him and Dirk, my choice would've been Bosh.

I love how when we're talking all-star rosters, Josh Howard and Jason Terry are complete badasses according to Llama, but when we talk MVP neither of them are on the level of Lamar Odom.

He gets a little carried away sometimes.......

Count me among the people who consider Tim Duncan the best player of his era.

If Lamar played in Dallas, he would be the #2 option behind Dirk and probably would be one of their ace defenders. Odom is very talented.

Josh is an all-star type player as well, but he doesnt have near the gifts that Odom is blessed with. Josh is an overachiever. Lamar is biding his time until the Lakers really have a shot before he risks his health, IMO.

The tear that the Mavs are on pretty much shoots your one man band argument to ****. If it was a bunch of role players and your secret crush loverboy Dirk they wouldn't be doing that great, probably around 500.

Wow.

azbroncfan · 03-14-2007, 11:58 PM

Would the unanimous MVP miss a FT to seal the game while his competition scores 10 in 50 secs?

Let me add in the Second OT got a loss of cool T and missed game winner. Dirk chokes again just like it was the finals last year. Mavs are best team in the NBA although.

ludo21 · 03-15-2007, 12:47 AM

SHAAAZAAAAMMM!!!

Nash!!!

what a game....

Rulon Velvet Jones · 03-15-2007, 01:51 AM

Yep, it's just a shame that he's still in 2nd for the award.

Jason7730 · 03-15-2007, 02:58 AM

Nash had to pull his punk card. Sometimes friends have to do it.

29 right?

OrangeShadow · 03-15-2007, 07:57 AM

Kobe is my second favorite layer to watch behind D-Wade so ill vote kobe.

ZONA · 03-15-2007, 12:34 PM

It could go to Nash or Dirk. Either one and I wouldn't care either way. Kobe is good but let's not forget, his 3 rings came with arguably the most dominating big man the game has ever seen on his side. No Shaq, where the hell have Kobe and the Lakers been? Off the map.

It's kinda funny how Nash is not known for his defense but it was his defense that slapped the Mavs in the mouth last night. Steeling that ball from Terry. Man was that a game. That loss, along with getting punked by Golden State before that should shut the lama up for a little bit. Maybe not, he probably will comeback and say how it won't ever happen again. What you need to do lama is recognize. Just like in the Finals last year, any of the top teams can win any given night so lets knock the Mavs down off that high horse until they prove they can win it all. I know this, if the Mavs thought they were in the Suns' heads, they thought wrong. Cuban can go chew on that for awhile. I love it.

Los Broncos · 03-15-2007, 01:14 PM

I change my mind after last night, Nash should get it.

Northman · 03-15-2007, 05:04 PM

Nash or Duncan hands down.

I just have to say part of this again.

......but it was his defense that (and this is the best part) slapped the Mavs in the mouth last night.

Yeah - it rolls off the tounge so nicely and has a sweet sound to it yes? Say it with me..........slapped the Mavs in the mouth. Whoa. It felt even better saying it yet again. Slapped the Mavs in the mouth......OK, I'm good.

Liebs · 03-15-2007, 06:51 PM

depending on who wins more games, Nash or the Yetti (dirk)

sidenote I am a huge suns fan

ZONA · 03-15-2007, 06:56 PM

.......and what's up the ass of the little general? I think it was Diop (or however you spell it) diving for a lose ball on the ground, bustin his butt and the Suns got the ball from him and he's running back to defend and the little butthole is just scouling and cursing at his player. Gimme a break. I could see it if a guy was slackin off or something but when a 7 footer is diving on the floor to try and make a play, get over it little man.

sixtimeseight · 03-15-2007, 07:02 PM

what a surprise, llama disappeared just like a little b****, just like last year. hopefully he never comes back this time.

Rock Chalk · 03-15-2007, 07:10 PM

T-mac!

Dirk is a stupid Euro trash craphole. Nash is a ****ing Canadian.

Its all about T-Mac. Best player in the league even with back spasms.

T-Mac is not even the best swing man in the league (see Kobe, LaBron, Carter) so how can he be the best player in the league? He's in that REALLY GOOD tier but not GREAT. He's got the talent, just too inconsistant and injured.

While we on the subject of B-ball. Durant is maybe the best player in college I have seen in 3 or 4 years. He's gonna fit right into the NBA fast.
