Yeah, something of that sort was mentioned in post #458

Let's keep Avery and his analogous Bush out of this convo, and concentrate on Dirk.

I'm not feeling the headband, but if that helps him keep his Samson locks going throughout the season and the playoffs, I can live with it.

SMC0007 · 10-19-2009, 10:29 AM

Dirks is using the Hookshot pretty well this preseason! I like this.

CadBane · 10-29-2009, 10:21 PM

Dirk is currently leading the NBA in PPG. Fact.

Not anymore. Melo has now a better one after dropping 41 on Portland.

Dirk and his expectations for the new season. Contribution by DEUTSCHLANDFUNK is ready to hear and to download.

No haircut since olympic games

sefant77 · 11-04-2009, 12:11 PM

I wonder if there is any franchise record from Aguirre or Blackman left that Dirk didnt break...

Edit: Ok, Aguirres season total scoring.

Total points (as you mentioned; btw 2330) and points per game (29,5). Both in 83-84

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-04-2009, 01:45 PM

Dirk is a top ten defender in the NBA so far this season.

SMC0007 · 11-04-2009, 02:00 PM

Agreed, I am pretty tough on his defense because we are only as good as our weakest link. For the most part this season I can't crap on his defense.

Heres to him keeping it up..

I read this as "the t woman game dot com" at first and was very confused.

In short, Dirk Nowitzki brought out a flame-thrower . . . and the Jazz tried to put out the fire with a wet paper towel.

awesome

Flacolaco · 11-04-2009, 03:23 PM

Do you guys think Dirk has another level? We could probably talk about that in this thread if we wanted....

SMC0007 · 11-04-2009, 03:27 PM

IDK but he MAY have another lever. Not sure if you, ever thought about, that..

badfish22 · 11-04-2009, 04:01 PM

A reminder that when Nowitzki is in that zone, that level, he can take a game that you feel is on lockdown to absolute disaster. Don’t look away. It’ll hurt more if you don’t see it coming.

Great quote

Dirk is 6th in the NBA in blocks per game.

Dirk is leading the NBA in the +/- stat. Mavericks lead pretty much every stat there is in +/-. For whatever that is worth.

Wow, Dirk with a comfortable lead right now.

Dirk was player of the week for Nov 9-15

Five-ofan · 11-16-2009, 06:00 PM

as an aside, dirk and tim duncan both have exactly 19341 points for their career.

GermanDunk · 11-16-2009, 10:51 PM

Bayliss · 11-16-2009, 10:58 PM

And my name's Dirk and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet and your gonna regret
cuz I'm the best there's ever been

When Dirk got finished Jennings bowed his head because he knew he had been beat
And he laid that game ball on floor at Dirk's feet
Dirk said Jennings just come on back if you ever want to try again
I'd done told ya once you son of a b*tch
I'm the best there's ever been!

DirkFTW · 11-16-2009, 11:48 PM

AWESOME!!!!

greensborohill · 11-17-2009, 10:34 AM

I have a Offical Countdown thread for Dirk's march towards 20,000 posts. He has offically passed Duncan as of last night.

Wow, really? That would put him 5th all-time on this board, just a little over Flaco. He still has over 10,000 more to catch up with Sike though...

Come to think of it, I'm away from the board for a bit, and when I come back, Dirk is posting here?

boom

sike · 11-19-2009, 01:50 AM

this thread should be blowing up.

because Dirk is freakin great.

badfish22 · 11-19-2009, 02:00 AM

Best player ever to put on a Mav uniform, and it isn't even close.

sike · 11-19-2009, 02:00 AM

Just a passing question: In all of sports history, are there any other #41's who could have an argument as the greatest over Dirk? I cant think of any...

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-19-2009, 02:02 AM

Dirk is automatic. Above it. Expected. Incredible. Undefendable. Ridirkulous.

Thank you for not playing in other league ball this summer.

nowhereman · 11-19-2009, 03:34 AM

Apparently, Coop just called Dirk better at his sport than any other Dallas athlete in their sport ever.

And I'm inclined to say it's close. With a ring, it would be no context.

i love dirk. I really do. But thats not even close to being true...

Sure it's close to being true... He's one of the all time greats to play not only his position but the game.

I would think that there's a few Cowboys that have something to say about who's number 1... and maybe a Stars player and perhaps a Rangers great or two. But Dirk is right up there in the mix. He's not #1 in my opinion, but when you start talking about one of the definitive top 50 players to ever play the game, he has to be at least very close to the top when it comes to top area athletes that at least played on a team sport.

arod is one of the definitive top 10 players ever to play his sport... Is dirk near the top of the list? of course. Is he actually a legit challenger for the title? No.

For the record the list of dallas area players id take over him during my lifetime(since 1985 and not in order)

Emmitt smith
Troy Aikman
Arod
and maybe Pudge

(Caveat if you include vy at texas he jumps to 1)
Dirk is my favorite athlete ever. I absolutely love the guy. That said hes in the 2nd or third tier or so of all time greats in bball. Arod legitimately has an argument as the best player ever 3 of his best seasons were here.

There have been a few Dallas athletes that were the best in the world at what they were doing. (Byron Nelson? Michael Johnson?) Let's hold off on elevating Dirk to that level.

twelli · 11-19-2009, 07:13 AM

I just hope, there will be a stretch now where he gets more rest and doesn't need to be the hero every game. Nobody will remember these November games next May, should the Mavs be one an early fishing trip by then.
