Dirk won a ring by himself no super groupies needed

OG Drug Running Back Troy Hambrick

This is an actual meaningful look at the matchup:

Point Guard: Advantage Mavs
Shooting Guard: Advantage Heat
Small Forward: Advantage Heat
Power Forward: Advantage Mavs
Center: Advantage Mavs
Bench: Advantage Mavs
Coach: Advantage Mavs

That's not a "meaningful" look at it, at all. You can't just simplify it to "advantage" for each position, knowing full well the advantage margins aren't the same from position to position - especially the advantage at small forward - you ain't slick with that. Never mind the fact that comparing positions is circumstantial in a series.

Stop being dishonest.

Dam so the Cavs were more loaded than the warriors going off of salaries. And LeBron still couldn't get it done

no

but why are you trying to argue with me about the cavs/LeBron?

what does that have to do with this thread?

They won that finals with defense...something that Dirk doesn't play.

They won off their shooting advantage too. They shot 41.1% from distance that series compared to 34.5%, going 13-18 from deep in game 5 and 11-26 in game 6. Hard to beat a team when they're shooting like that.

Yep. That's like people saying Iverson carried the Sixers to the finals when they had the DPOY, the best defensive coach & 3 other top defenders as starters

Tim Duncan is the last true Gawd hoe, and I didn't forget Dirk and his 60+ game winning season getting served by the same franchise you looking up to today. Be a one seed & get bounced by a 8th seed...

Act like Duncan didnt get beat by an 8th seed as a 1st seed, brehs..

Well the grizzlies did tank the last week or so to fall to the 8 seed and get that matchup

What did Dirk have to do extra defensively that he didn't have to do in previous years?

thats what I am saying, the way dirk's team won is a rare situation in nba

the lakers and celtics super teams were dominating the 80s, the pistons were pretty stacked also, then the 90s bulls took over, then the lakers with shaq and kobe.

11 mavs and 94 rockets are very rare examples, MAYBE tim duncan in 03 as manu and tony were not the all stars YET.

The formula is always the same, you need multiple all stars on your team to win a title, because there will always be a competitive team that either signs a few all stars or they draft excellent and build their star players.

Lol at maybe 03 Spurs.

Yet Hakeem was a both sides of the court impact player unlike Dirk

I wonder if the Knicks beat the Rockets in 94 would Ewing have won "by himself" too

If john Starks shot just 4-18 or 5-18 in game 7 he would've had an awful performance and still have been trash. The only difference is the Knicks would've been champs. Hakeem outplayed Patrick thoroughly though. Patrick's averages were 18.9/12.4/1.7/1.3/4.3 in 44 minutes per game with a 36.3/20/71.4 shooting slash. He actually shot worse on the series than Starks did. Hakeem on the other hand? His averages were 26.9/9.1/3.6/1.6/3.9 on 50% from the field and 86% at the line in 43 minutes per game.

This thread was about Dirk tho, and Dirk ain't the last to do it the right way. That's Duncan.
