Dirk Nowitzki 12-of-15, 24-of-24 FT for 48 points in Thunder-Mavericks WCF Game 1!

[Collie]

Westbrook isn't gonna be shooting 18 FT's every game either. KD isn't scoring 40 points each game. Ibaka won't score nearly 20 every game. Peja won't miss 7 out of 8 shots, Kidd and Chandler won't be limited to 3 points, etc.

[R.I.P.]

Discuss.

No it

[moaz]

Why is Hulk Hogan still here?

[Gundress]

Monstrous game, but that's not enough to eclipse LeBron/Wade. First he should learn defense.

If that's the case then why the f*ck do lebron and wade need each-other?...in their f*cking prime....mind you they're younger than Dirk...they have to play together for f*cking 7 years. WHAT A B!TCH.....YOU NEED HELP FROM ANOTHER SUPERSTAR TO GET A RING AND WANNA EASY WIN......Oh I forgot...they brought Chris Bosh in it too....***** ASS MFER!


THAT IS F*CKING LOSER....NOT WINNER IN MY BOOK.

[Kobe24Clutch]

24 Freethrows

[Patrick Chewing]

Who cares. OKC is still going to win this series. Dirk had the game of his career, Westbrook went 3-15, Dallas bench played lights out, and Dallas still almost lost.

[LBJ4MVP23]

Overreact a little more guys. Holy hell.

Dirk is a MUCH worse passer, worse rebounder, worse scorer, worse defender, etc.

GOod god people need to chill. Dirk is the best PF in the NBA, but already putting him over Larry? How high are you? Do you also assume whoever has the best game on any given night is the new BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD.

ZOMG DARKO HAD 20 POINTS 20 BOARDS 8 BLOCKS. BEST CENTER EVER!!!!!!!!!

[amfirst]

He hasn't done much, until this season, so we will have to wait to see the outcome.

He is good, but the dude is scoring over one on one plays, not many players have the luxuary to go iso one on one the entire game. His team mates are so good that u can't double him or they will kill u.

[SCdac]

Dirk has scored more than this in the playoffs before, yet no one was saying this kind of stuff. It's amazing what beating the Lakers can do for your reputation. Larry Bird was a different breed of player - he was possibly one of the toughest players of his era - I swear it's all about stats in today's league. Stats = what a player is or isn't.

[Round Mound]

Most Underrated Great Player of today

This dude has probably been the Best PF of the last 3 years.

[KevinNYC]

I mean strictly speaking, I think Dirk is a better overall player.

This sentence literally made my head explode. My head literally exploded, strictly speaking.

I was fortunate enough to watch Larry play and his shooting was incredible, but his athleticism was sub-par.

Well if you got to watch Larry play, how was his game? Above par? More than a bit above par?

Dirk is definitely a top-25 player. Ring or not, there is no denying this man is great.

Both of these statements are true. Neither of proves your thesis sentence. C- but I'm willing to let you revise it and resubmit, your arguments need more support.

[catch24]

Awesome performance and all but what's with the overreaction? A better all-around player than Bird?

[Gundress]

possible yay if he wins a ring this year...

Just stop....think before you post?

You mildly retarded if you think so.

Just cause he's from Dallas so that don't mean you have to say YES MFER!

[Jon_Koncak]

just beacuse you're attacking the rim doesn't mean u r entitled to free throws.Chandler was goin straight up in 2 of his fouls.Not to mention the rip through phantom call on Terry.Dirk got his share of phantom calls as well.Joey Crawford is just awful,he destroyed a really enjoyable game with all these whistles in the 3rd
