I don't think that I could go with Dirk. However, I do believe that Dirk CAN be the guy that has the biggest impact on the game over the playoffs. But, he just hasn't been playing at this level long enough.... but, neither has LeBron.

If Dirk were to post up some remarkable numbers during these playoffs as the Mavs win the championship and he were to back it up with an MVP season next year, then you could definitely make a strong case for him being the best player in the NBA. But as it stands, I don't think you can put Dirk as the best player in the league.... To me, he just hasn't done it quite long enough yet.

Now, I will say that he might have been the best player in the NBA since February on into the playoffs....but, i'd have to do a little research before I definitively said that one way or the other.
