People only compare Dirk to Bird because they're both white. Dirk isn't even close to the all around player Bird was. Bird did everything good. 24ppg. 10rg. 6apg. 2spg. He also played defense. Well.

Dirk is a legendary player, but he's not even Bird lite.

knows petras secret: she farted.
yeah i dont get that bird comparison in the least!

they played a totally different game. i mean, its nice to be compared to a great like him but bird was more of a 3 point shooter, at least from what i remember.
 
all of the games in the series have been close at halftime than the game has been decided in the 3rd quarter by the team that takes control first

If I told you 15 years ago that a 7ft. German who:

Averages no more than 5 dunks per year.

Doesn't play good defense.

Doesn't block shots.

Doesn't work well off the low block.

Doesn't rebound.

Doesn't bang or get physical.

is the best player in these playoffs, won MVP, and is a first-ballot HOFer... you'd probably try to have me committed. Dirk is basketball wonder and is one of a few players ever whose skill cannot be properly taught.

Hard to believe he came from such non-athletic parents. His dad was a shoe salesman and his mom worked on the railroad.

Well, if I were 6'-10" I'd be in the NBA right now. Fact.

If I were 280lb, 6'-6" I'd be in the NFL right now. Another fact.

I am not aware of his family tree/roots/genetics, but it does not always equate that a person's parents have to have been uber athletic for them to turn out that way.
 
Laker fans started it for Kobe (with good reason at the time they did), than other fans started to copycat and do the chant for their star player, now it has to just stop entirely, forever...

the 'M-V-P....' chants are so old theyre annoying by now
 
bulls/heat going to OT
 
Total choke job by my Bulls. Rose is not looking good in these late game situations, the lack of consistent scoring is killing Chicago. I am not happy at all.
 
Miami is just a better team. better players, better overall skill...better everything than the Bulls. these finals are going to be very exciting with Dallas, i expect high scoring games....(of course i realize both teams have to win that 4th game, but i think they both win in 5)
 
LeBron James has to be having far more fun this year. Last 2 years in Cleveland his teamates just stood and watched him do his work, this year his teamates are actually playing basketball with him

Lebron Flames is the most over-hyped player in the history of the league. Yes, he is good, but the hype has made the bulk of us nauseated everytime we have to see his ugly ass.

Yeah join the club. I think this loss is going to hurt them psychologically. They just don't have enough firepower to counter the Heat.
