They were better players than Pierce. Much better. What has Pierce done to be considered better than them? Win a ring on a stacked team in 08?

Ewing, CP3, Garvin and McGrady all made it on the All-NBA first team multiple times and were considered top 5 players at some point. Pierce made it on the second team ONCE and no one in their right mind ever had him as a top 5 player. Dude was barely a top 10 player in his best years.

Pull ur skirt down fakkit. If it wasn't for devin Harris defense on Parker that series wouldn't have went the way it did but to ahead and say Harris was as big of a factor I that series cuz his don't look godly. Box score whore. Devin Harris put the clamps on Parker that series but if u ain't puttin up numbers u not a factor righty?

That's why I hate Monica nowitski stans. U nigguh will go out ur way to put down in his teammates to big up dirk. Now terry wasn't shyt either?

Did I say Harris was trash? Or Terry wasn't deserving of multiple 6-man of the year awards? You have actual quotes of me shytting on those 2 guys, or are you just pulling things out of your ass to save face? The only people I downplayed in that post was "flabbynsick Jerry Stackhouse" and "EricA Dampier." But in all honesty, I should be shytting on Adrian Griffin and Desegana Diop as well.

Are you resorting to just making up things now?
Why did you not address the fact that you said "Dirk has squads and UNDERACHIEVED?" Is beating those PRIME Spurs and Suns squads not impressive?

All I pointed out was that Dirk was beating squads that were some of the 2000-2009 decade's most impressive with only 1 All-Star next to him. Is this not a fact?

Are you really this dumb, illiterate, blind Houston-stan and Mavericks-hater, or a combination of all three?




Nah breh, what I'm saying is that all 4 other players on the court stood on baseline while Dirk went iso every possession and played 1v5 defense by himself :troll:

If you have an actual informed opinion or argument as to how Dirk had a ton of help or how he underachieved, by all means post away. But you don't... He fell short a few times the same way LeBron has fallen short a few times. Same way Malone and Barkley and dozens of others did...

So what happened the year after his first finals? That's not underachieving. Also Lost to Chris Paul in the playoffs when he was a hornets?
