He's one of the best playoff performers of all time, and to say that he chokes under pressure shows a complete lack of comprehension for the game of basketball and a complete lack of knowledge of the historical context of the NBA.
But what else should anyone expect from you, really?

Having a few bad playoff series does make you streaky. It's alright to have a bad game here and then but you usually bounce back the next game. That's what Jordan and Kobe did. I mentioned 3 playoff series where he shot poorly. Dirk's had times in the playoffs where he was remarkable. Expectations are high on him due to being our franchise players. This team sure won a lot in the regular season to be considered inferior. Suns were without Amare Stoudemire. Dirk's best ever playoff moments were against the Spurs for sure. We all got our tunnel vision on how the playoffs were really like. I don't think it is fair for you to criticize my knowledge for seeing it differently than you.
