Offensively he is Top 5 right now and Matchup wise could be the Biggest matchup nightmare..

Re: Dirk = Best Player in the NBA?
Definitely these playoffs prove he's on par with anyone in the league
-
Re: Dirk = Best Player in the NBA?
Nope, but he's sure as hell playing out of his mind this postseason.
-
Re: Dirk = Best Player in the NBA?
He is rebounding really well too, boxing out the way it should be done.
-
Re: Dirk = Best Player in the NBA?
I still think he should've won MVP.
Lose Caron, team goes 2-7 without Dirk, ends up with the same record as the defending champs. 23/7/2.6/.5/.6 on 51.7/39.3/89.2

I don't care. It's all about winning.

Re: Dirk = Best Player in the NBA?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves on here!! lol Dirk is clearly in the top ten players in the L. Hell he has been for going on a decade now. But guys like Dirk, Melo, and Durant DON'T have the all around excellence of Bron, Wade, and Kobe. But thing is Bron, Wade, and Kobe are also number one alpha dog scoring guys like Dirk, Melo, and Durant. However, the size and scoring skillset of Dirk makes him truly one of the most difficult matchups in NBA history. And anybody who doesn't have Dirk knocking on the door of top 5 PF's of all time or even in the top 5 is hatin!! I think he's in the top six with Timmy, Barkley, Malone, KG,and Mchale.

Dirk's game 1 stats:
48 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 4 blocks
12-15 (80%)
24-24 from the line (100%. 24-24 is an NBA playoff record)

Re: RiDIRKulous
Most of the fouls seem legit though. Just a lot of them.
Dirk's pretty good at basketball.

Indeed he has! I find it funny how the TV guys NEVER bring up Dirk's age. He's about to be 33 like Kobe. But u never hear about him losing a step. With Kobe u can tell cause he was more explosive a couple of years back. But just because u loose a step doesn't mean u can't be the best or one of the best still. MJ proved that cause he was the best player in the L at 35 years of age. Dirk's playing style lends itself to longevity being a great, great player.
