Bigger beatdown: Dirk/Bran 11 or Hakeem/Ewing 94?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Which was the bigger case of an alltime great gettin that @zz waxed and puttin up crap numbers/choking. I consider these 2 the 2 biggest individual sonnings of the past 20 years in the finals, both by one man carry jobs to a title

How do you mention LeBron/Dirk when:

A) the "sonning" was throughout crunchtime, the previous 43 minutes their play probably equaled
B) They didnt guard each other / different positions

Hakeem probably had his GOAT series in 1995 vs D-Rob

Cp3 every playoffs

[SouBeachTalents]

LeBron & Dirk didn't even guard each other, so it's hard to compare that one. Jordan-Drexler '92 deserves mentioning as well

yeah i remember Dirk scoring 8 points in game 4 after 17 points in the previous game

i've seen you call dirks 11 finals one of the best ever.. so according to you the only difference between lebrons 11 finals being GOAT status was the final 2 minutes of the game..??

:biggums: :biggums:

Dirk on Lebron because you had a guy who was called soft and a choker for his entire career simply due to his skin colour and you had a guy who was being hailed better than MJ prior to the series, and one dude rose to the occasion whereas the other fell completely flat onto his face. Also you had the incident with lebron and wade making fun of Dirk, and literally every human being outside heat fans wanted the Mavs to win.

[Wade's Rings]

Wade beating down Dirk in 2006.

For real doe, Dirk & Bron didn't guard each other but because of Bron's GOAT Choke I would say he got beatdown worse.

Dirk was called choker because of the 2006 Finals and 2007 1st Round.

Dirk was called choker because of the 2006 Finals and 2007 1st Round.

But the hate and disrespect never would have been so intense nor exaggerated had he been a black guy from America.

I remember before the Portland series Sekou Smith was calling Jason Terry the best player on Dallas.

dirk/bran, it was the worst choke by far in NBA history

[pauk]

Hakeem/Ewing

Because:

-Dirk wasnt even the best in that series, Wade was.
-Lebron wasnt agressive, didnt even try, you dont "try" with 14 FGA.
-Hakeem however killed everything & everybody, Ewing gave his all.
-Hakeem/Ewing actually guarded eachother unlike Dirk/Lebron.

It was a literal fair & square beatdown.

[masonanddixon]

:roll:

What does that mean, son?

Hakeem/Ewing

-Lebron wasnt agressive, didnt even try, you dont "try" with 14 FGA.
-Hakeem however killed everything & everybody, Ewing gave his all.

1. lol
2. Doesn't help your case one bit
3. At least Ewing gave his all
4. True, but there were quite a few possesions were bron was on dirk.

Nah they guarded each other like three times in total.

Also it's hilarious that pauk wants to pretend Lebron didn't try. He just got his sorry ass locked up by Marion that series, bottom line.

1. Yep? 27-7-5 @ 55% FG is better than 26-9-3 @ 41% FG.... even Lebron there had a better FG% than Dirk... like i said, Lebron just DIDNT PLAY AT ALL....

2. It does, clearly if Lebron isnt agressive/quits/stands there like a statue/hot potatos the ball to Wade then you havent felt his game at all.... if he was agressive and didnt hot potato the ball to Wade then its highly unlikely he would be outperformed by Dirk (because just Lebron being a simple Lebron is better than any Dirk ever) and also very likely he would have won that championship.... Hakeem however felt every square inch of Ewings game and to make things better they guarded eachother 24-7.... it was a fair & square beatdown of two matchups guarding eachother....

No contest here... Hakeem/Ewing > Dirk/Bran.... but ofcourse, if it feels better to say Dirk/Bran just because you hate Bran then ok, i understand....

Nah he just choked. He couldn't score on Barrea & Terry at times.

[ChrisKreager]

Dirk/LeBron.

At least Ewing got to a game 7.

[masonanddixon]

Nah he just choked. He couldn't score on Barrea & Terry at times.

No, Marion had lefraud on lockdown all series long and in the regular season. The tactic of putting Barea on him at times just helped to further fluster him.

[imdaman99]

I'll go with Dirk/bran.
