Do you watch basketball? Dirk is underrated if anything.

How many 7-footers in NBA history can you name that average 26 points and 12 rebounds and shoot 49 percent from the field, 47 percent on 3-pointers, and 91 percent from the line?

That's what Dirk's done IN THE PLAYOFFS!! He's hit 30 points six times, and 40 twice. He's also recorded 20 rebounds twice in the playoffs.

AI's a ball hog. How many 7-for-30s do you have to suffer through?

<font color="red">I’ll say it again, he ain’t squat without, Finley and/or Nash. At least AI got his team to the finals without a reliable scorer. Dirk has two others, and still can’t get there, so how good is he really?? And of course he would avg. at least 10rebs. a game, he’s 7’0”!!! If you are that tall and can’t rebound, you put shame to your profession. He only shoots that high because people have to worry about Nash and Finley. When Finley was out his shooting percentage was nowhere near that, and Nash became a non factor, so give me another reason of why he’s so good??? Iverson shoots bad at times but he still is right there in fg% with Kobe, Bibby, Mash, and Payton. Its funny how you could call AI a ball hog when averages more asst then you starting point Nash. Check the stats.</font>

When Wallace wants to play no one can stop him remember what he did to the lakers in 2000 they just feed him in the post no one could stop him he almost single handlently beat the lakers but then my blazers fell apart and haven't been able to get it going since but when wallace has his head in the game there is no one that can stop him

6'11 with a great long range shot
best post up man in the game
he'll kill u outside and in
(If he had his head in the game he's the best pf today)
but the reality is he doesn't and never well

<font color="red">Yeah I thought it was very disrespectful to Sheed, when Walton said “Wallac is no where near Tim Duncan in skill.” I couldn’t believe my ears. Wallace is definitely talented. And yes when he’s focus no one can stop him. But his head hasn’t been straight lately. I hope Sheed heard what Walton idiotic *** said, so it can probably wake him up and get him to start playing again.</font>

Allen Iverson

No one can guard him one on one, all you can do is denie him the ball or just pray that he takes a bad shot.

Re: What scorer gives D\'s the biggest headaches?

Zag, you aren't watching Mavs games because Dirk does not rely on Nash or Finley. Finley's been poor most of the season.

Dirk is 24 years old, too. And the only reason AI went to the finals is because he plays in the 8th-grade Eastern Division. The Sixers might get the eighth seed in the west. They're basically Phoenix.

you should`ve said kobe needs his other players more than nowitski. kobe has shaq and without him he wouldn`t average that many points.

Re: What scorer gives D\'s the biggest headaches?

Shaq poses the most problems offensively as there's nobody that can really gaurd him. The old "Hack a Shaq" technique isn't as strong of an attack as it used to be since Shaq has gotten somewhat better at the charity stripe.

I will say however that Shaq is very easy to manipulate defensively as you saw in the last game of the Spurs series. Shaq looked slow and was often out of position while the Spurs were moving the ball around and then attacking the lane.
