Yeah, I agree Spurs. In terms of talent Dirk is a better player overall, most likely. Rodman just has a better resume so far. Though they are completely different beasts on both sides of the ball haha.

Dirk has an MVP and several more all-star appearances; not rings, but Dirk might have won a few titles if he'd gotten to play with Pippen and MJ 😉

But they ARE completely different players so it's hard to really compare the two.

While Reggie is an iconic 3 point shooter, I just think there isn't a single thing that Wade doesn't do well. I mean other than 3 point shooting and free throws, is there anywhere that Reggie has Wade beat?

Color analyst?

That's about it haha.

My main thing was longevity I suppose.... Miller just deserves the nod over Wade at this point. Wade will easily surpass him because of what you just said... he's better.

Though with the way Wade plays he might not play enough games/seasons/postseasons to fully blossom into the level Kobe is at right now... Lebron will most certainly get there, Wade is yet to be seen with all his injury problems.

Yeah Lebron and Kobe are clearly tier 1 right now and Wade and Melo are tier 1.5.

Ironically, doesn't Wade and his current situation look a lot like Kobe's situation right after the Shaq trade and for the next couple of seasons until the Pau trade?
 
Wow... if you stepped back... possibly. Though I think Wade has a much bigger wall to climb (Dwight, Lebron and the Celts) than Kobe did (probably just the Spurs).

Good observation.
 
This just goes to show that Shaq might be the greatest player of this era.

He's definitely in the running; it's gotta be him, Duncan or Kobe. Then again, Shaq has also gotten swept a bunch of times and has done a good job of always having a good sidekick (or picked a good player to be sidekick to once he got with Wade and now LeBron). That last year in Miami before they traded him was abysmal as well, and his acquisition single-handedly destroyed the Suns. Now it looks like he might not fit in with the Cavs very well.

When he was on he was incredible but sometimes he wasn't on; as crazy as it sounds, as good as he was, he could have been SO much better if he'd actually given his all every year and trained in the offseason.

Oh, I just assumed he was grouping the forwards together but that they'd play their obvious positions. Either way I'd leave them like that and have KG figure out how to play 3 again, and then move Dirk up over Rodman.

Yeah, not bad. Although who knows what position Dirk plays these days. You could put him anywhere from 3-5.

In time Wade will easily surpass Reggie. But Reggie is probably the greatest 3pt shooter ever (as of today) with a great % to boot, amazing free throw shooter. He just didn't have anyone on his team. I mean Rik Smits :smack:, come on haha. You can argue that he didn't win any championships, but he also never had anyone on his teams and he had to play MJ at his best.

You know who I might go with over Miller? Clyde Drexler.

drexler is a top 5 SG.



i did think the pacers had a lot of talent/heart.

but that larry johnson 4 pt play>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
a lot of people say Hakeem was better than Shaq. Head to head, Hakeem is better than all the centers from our era. Shaq was dominant when Hakeem was waning though.

Jordan (still being from our era) is obviously the best.

when its all said and done, it will be

Jordan
Kobe
Lebron
 
:laugh:

go to espn.com and take the poll for the greatest athelte of the decade and look at the map

every state voted predominantly for Tiger, except MA, which said tom brady was the athlete of the decade
 
So, ESPN's John Hollinger talked about who he thinks was NBA player of the decade in his chat, between Timmy, Shaq and Kobe:

John Hollinger said:
Tim Duncan, hands down. Not the sexy answer, but if you're looking at effectiveness and winning there's no defensible alternate conclusion. Duncan was the only one to win as his team's sole All-Star. He was the only one whose teams won 50+ every year in the decade. He was the only one who didn't go through a stretch where the "Me" clearly trumped the "We." About the only negatives I can come up with are that he didn't make many highlight plays and he didn't play in L.A. That shouldn't be the criteria.

So there you go. 😀

You know, I keep seeing an ad for something called an Everlon knot, which is, I suppose, the piece of jewelry they're trying to push on everyone this season. I think the medical education must be getting to me, because every time I see it, I can't help but think...

"descent of the developing testis through the inguinal ring."
