One thing with Dirk that no one ever talks about...

He's gotten to the precipice of a title with essentially three different teams.
In 2003 the Mavs had taken home court advantage from the eventual champion spurs in the conference finals and early in game 3 Dirk messes up his knee and is out for the rest of the series. This with a supporting cast of, finley, nash, van exel, lafrentz, et al and don nelson as the coach.
In 2006 the Mavs are on the verge of taking an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the finals and then, depending on your point of view, they fell apart/were victimized by the worst officiating in the history of major american sports. This with a supporting cast of a very young devin harris, josh howard, stackhouse, marquise daniels, dampier, terry and avery johnson as coach.
And now he's back again with JET as the only other holdover from the 06 team and rick carlilse as coach.
When he hangs it up, that will be one of the most remarkable things on his resume (along with being the best player on a team that has won 50plus for 11 straight years and counting).
Has any other player had this level of success as the best player on 3 completely different teams?

I honestly thought you were going to mention this little thing since there are about 723 other slobbing Dirk topics going on.

I mean Miami won 4 straight to close that series, but the Mavs were the better team......

if you think shaq was the best player on the heat....well you would be wrong

Also, it seems like the people who say things like "Dirk is soft" or "he chokes in the playoffs" clearly made up their minds about him a long time ago and have no use for the facts

Shaq was the best player on the Heat his first year there. They would have won the NBA title that year if both him and Wade weren't injured against Detroit IMO. Wade was the best player the year they won. Shaq was quite obviously the best player in L.A. and Orlando.

Refs cost us in 2006
Dirk's injury cost us in 2003
Nothing will stop us this year
Damn shame... Dirk should be working on his 3rd ring right now
