You kind of have to look at the comments on a case by case basis and take into account who is making them.

You really have to look at other team's message board to see that the above statement is unrealistic. Dirk is being called a p*** or a choker more than ever before. People have pretty much forgotten that he took this team to the finals by beating SA in a game 7 on their own court. People are saying that his MVP is ridicolous, silly, and that people will laugh at it 20 years from now. Dirk's rep right now is at an all time low. Only a deep playoff run, probably only a ring, will make that go away.
