Shooting Jesse James doesn’t necessarily make you Jesse James.

As explained by top 5 ancillary TV character of all time Mike from breaking bad.


It’s often said(without people knowing it’s a Ric Flair quote) that to be the man you have to beat the man. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone who beats the man….are themselves…the man.

Give me some examples that come to mind. I don’t just mean when the best player loses a game or a series to inferior players. I mean when the player you steadfastly believe to be superior gets outplayed and defeated. They aren’t balling and just lose because the other team is better.

I want the situations where you firmly believe the guy who got his ass kicked was still better and you had to sound like a salty bitch still supporting him being better than the other guy. That’s a tough one isn’t it? Right after your guy gets his ass kicked and you don’t want to capitulate? All you really have is “Yea well….whatever”.

give me the most prominent examples that are in your head right now. Of players in the league now the first one that comes to mind is probably LeBron in 2011, but quite a few people actually did decide Dirk was briefly Jesse James so it may not apply.

Who most annoyed you by defeating your guy straight up playing better, but you still didn’t want to bend the knee and acknowledge they were now the man?

Who is Walt to your boy Gus Fring?

Anyone who seriously thought Dirk was ever better than LeBron James would have to explain why it continues to be such a huge deal LeBron lost over a decade later if that were the case. Mike's quote applies 100% there.

[FultzNationRISE]

Well the whole 2011 debacle where Terry and Barea beat up on Wade, and everyone thought that was some big deal.

But the thing is, Wade wasnt really the man. He and Spo simply conspired to create that illusion, and it backfired tremendously. Lebron was the man all along and I will kick anyones ass who says differently.

Anyway I forget what my original point was but this thread BETTER BE RESPECTFUL OF BRON :mad:

[Kblaze8855]

There were people who had Dirk as the best player in the NBA after the 2011 playoffs. In fact, I remember a few months later when the next 2K came out people on here complaining that dirk wasn’t the highest rated even though he was like a 99 in all the things he should be and was unstoppable in that game. They just wanted the ratings rigged somehow so he would be higher than a 97 which is what I think LeBron, and maybe Kobe were.

I just remember arguing about how they were supposed to make him rated higher when he was a 99 midrange and high in other shooting numbers but had lower overall ratings because he should.

There was definitely a contingent arguing Dirk was in fact “The man” at the time.

Nice try.

[Wardell Curry]

As far as the NBA goes? Bill Russell's Celtics losing to Wilt's 76ers in 1967 is the closet thing we've got. If all we're looking at is winning, Bill Russell is the only guy that deserves to be mentioned as Jesse James.

But this is silly anyways because the best team usually wins, not the best player. The league has more years where the best player didn't win the title than years where he did win the title. If you think otherwise, it's only because you were influenced by the outcome of the playoffs, rather than looking at the season in total.

Season 5 of Breaking Bad just might be the greatest television season I’ve ever seen, just masterpiece after masterpiece episode, with an endless amount of great scenes like this.

The Wire Season 4 would be a close 2nd.

9 catches for 122 yards on a broken leg and nearly won it. Even crippled he was the bestplayer on the field.

You could make an objective argument that Dirk was the best payer in 2010/2011.

[Kblaze8855]

Speaking of Dirk he may have been on the other side of the best example of this. Baron Davis acting a fool knocking out the 67 win Mavs while Dirk did this the elimination game?


https://www.hostpic.org/images/2312020312290129.jpeg



8 points? Baron Davis was not Jesse James, nor was he the man, but he strolled up to the man and shot him in the face. The man had to go collect his MVP at a press conference looking crazy. Baron wasn’t Jesse. But he shot him.

[ArbitraryWater]

Dirk in the All the Smoke Interview that just came out again mentioned how embarrassed he was to drive up in a suit to get that MVP award.

[Kblaze8855]

I gotta go Listen to the whole thing. I saw a clip of them, asking him about the development of the one leg fade away and he was saying it allowed him to continue being a decent scorer in his career and they were like “Cmon Dirk? Decent?”. His humility is nice but you know he knows. Didn’t even occur to me they would have to talk that series, but considering the hosts of course it would come up. I forgot who they were for a second.

correct lebron was eating Wheaties and D-wade was eating generic

[Im Still Ballin]

Dirk's other weak playoff series was 2005 1st round vs. Houston. That's the only other one I can think of where he seemed off.

[highwhey]

leJokic

puts up GOAT level stats, raises the team's ceiling, shows up in crunch time...but the moment his right hand is injured (murray), his team isn't much better than your other top10 superstars. hell, he has to have a fully healthy team to really go anywhere. if MPJ is off with his shooting and AG isn't playing elite defense, his team is very beatable. if Murray is out...sheeeeeeit, they're a run of the mill 2nd tier team. and defenses are figuring out the best way to beat him is to force him to score...so when his pts are higher than his assists, he most likely lost the game.
