The Official Dallas-Mavs.com Thread?
I know this post shouldn't be in the "Mavs section" so please don't have a hissy fit but it is a question that relates to the board in general and this is the page most people look at.
I started a thread about Danilo Gallinari, and how he looks awesome and had Dirk type potential and possibly more, and it was instantly moved into the "General NBA Watching" thread. WTF? As if a discussion of whether a 21 year old kid from Italy could possibly overtake Dirk as the greatest European player ever isn't worthy of its own thread on a Dallas Mavericks message board?
Why not start one "Dallas-Mavs.com" thread and post everything in there?

Sorry dude. I'm the furthest thing from a thread nazi, but if you think there's enough Danilo Gallinari interest on this board to justify its own thread you're out of your mind.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of this Gallinari cat...and I still wouldn't be if you hadn't posted this thread. Does he seriously have 36 threes in 3 games? I find that very hard to believe.
If your thread made an explicit comparison to Dirk, then I agree that there was no defensible reason to move the thread.
Defensible maybe, but there was probably no sensible reason at any rate. It's not as if the main forum is some sacred place.

By the way, the thread was started in the "General NBA Section," NOT THE MAVS section.

The debate of whether Danilo Gallinari could/ possibly/ ever beat out Dirk Nowitzki as the greatest European to ever play in the NBA doesn't justify it's own thread in the "General NBA Section" by a poster who has been around for 7 years?

You think there is even a debate after just three games?
Seriously?

Are you even listening? I didn't say that he was better than Dirk. That would be f'ing insane. I said the guy is playing awesome, and as a 21 year old, he is someone to watch and who the f--- knows, if he is this good now he might wind up being the best European to ever play in the NBA, maybe even better than Dirk someday.
This is an internet message board. About the Dallas Mavericks. In the "General NBA Section."
Seems like a reasonable thread to me.

Apparently 11 years in the NBA doesn't mean anything to Mr. Seven-Years-on-the-Forum.

I don't even get where there is a debate yet. Your first paragraph pretty much says all anyone can say after three games. I mean it's three games. Do you realize all that makes Dirk great? It's kind of pointless having a debate comparing Dirk to guy who has made four baskets inside the three point line in three games. Danilo is sheer potential right now, while Dirk is a guy that has continually developed and refined his game to become an all-time great. That's an awfully big step he has to take, and you seem to be basing your prediction on what you have seen in three games (heck have you even watched all of those games?).

Knicks' Danilo Gallinari Plans Assault On All Three-Point Records
by John Lorge Senior Writer
During the 2005-'06 NBA season, I had an opportunity to watch Seattle's Ray Allen set the NBA record for threes made when he canned 269 of his 653 attempts in 78 regular season games.
Allen is a flawless shooter with unlimited range and no conscious and he can single handedly bring a team back from a double-digit deficit.
This summer when Mike D'Antoni stated the best shooter he had ever seen was Danilo Gallinari, nobody was speaking up to second his claims.
Gallinari has hit 18 threes through the first three games of the season, and Knicks fans are finally beginning to understand what D'Antoni was talking about—and why New York spent the sixth pick of the 2008 draft on him when Eric Gordon and Brook Lopez seemed like great picks.
The 21-year-old Italian isn't hoisting up careless shots, he is shooting an uncanny 50 percent from behind the arc, and is quickly establishing himself as the deadliest long ball shooter in the NBA.
To put in perspective what Gallinari is doing, he is on pace to hit 492 of 984 threes, and that’s this season. Those projections are for an 82-game season, however, and the 6'10", 225-pound Gallinari missed 54 games due to injury as a rookie. It is highly unlikely he will be able to play in every game this season, but he has added good size to his frame since entering the league.
Missing a few games here and there won't hurt him one bit, though, as Gallinari is projected to break the record in his 45th game of the season. At his sickening pace, Gallinari will only need 422 more games to break Reggie Miller's all-time record of 2,560—if he can play just 60 games a season, he will have the record well before he is 30 years old.
It is not expected that Gallinari will keep his numbers at this level, but that's only because we've never see shooting like this before. With D'Antoni's system putting a priority on the trey and the green light to shoot, Gallinari could be breaking his own three-point records for years to come.
A deep threat like that is attractive bait to one of the elite penetrators in the 2010 free agency class.
