How often did you defend Kobe Bryant in the past as team player, when the Lakers weren't winning and he had to carry them on his shoulders from start to end of games?
Brah, I never defended Kobe in general, I defend the Lakers and Kobe happens to be a Laker, so I would like to clear that part up since Im not a Kobe fan but a Laker fan.

Now as far as blasting Dirk, the blasting part began when a Mavs fan decided to come on here and attack us with no facts and kept on insisting to take his words since he has watched Dirk destroy Pau and we need to accept his opinion with no facts, you know and I know that does fly here or anywhere else.
Also you know and I know that you cant compare what Kobe went through with the Lakers in that period of time, since Kobe didnt even have the supporting cast that Dirk did, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
So thats really a bad comperison.
Dirk had far more better supporting cast than we did in 05 06 and 07. As far as 08 season with our loss to the your Cs again we have covered that well over a million threads and posts and I really dont see a need to keep beating a dead horse.

Sure and nobody is denying that, if anything my reply to Billy Bob was that Pau makes his teammates better, he is a role player that compliments his teammates and makes his teammates better. Dirk isnt and he has never made his teammates better, if anything he cant lead his team and its very obvious since the Mav org. decided to part ways with D. Harris and gave up a lot to obatin J.Kidd. Why cause they lost faith in Dirk as a leader and they came to their senses that without a solid veteran like Kidd they will never achieve their goal of winning a title. AM I WRONG.
Mahoney_jr wrote: So the benefit for switching Pau with Dirk on the Lakers might not be as high as comparing them for other rotations. But Dirk is hands down the better overall player. Every standard stat and advanced stat, team and individual stat will prove that.
LMAO, Right and I agree, no where in my post did I say that as individual players Pau is better than Dirk. I never said or posted anything like that. I AGREE, but we are talking about a player that is suppose to be a leader (Dirk) which he isnt, he has failed many many many times. Even with allstar teammates like Steve Nash 2 time MVP, Mike Finley a solid vet that went on to win a chip with the SPurs, Josh Howard an allstar and Jason Kidd a vet leader that with solid playoff an finals an olympian with so much experience under his belt, D. Harris which is now hands down one of the best P.G in the E/C.
Lets look at the finals when the Mavs were up 2-0 lead in the 06 Finals, Dirk has gone 2-12 in the postseason: four straight losses to Miami, next year a five-game series loss to Warriors, and 08 five-game loss to N.O. He has three first-round losses, three second-round losses, and one NBA Finals arse whooping in his career. Clear enough.

Brah Im so cool, ice cubes are jealous of me. I dont need peps to tell me to be cool
and I know you ment that in a good way, and Im glad that Pau did end up in LA, believe me I do. I think he was our main reason we were and will be successful.
I hope I cleared up the whole Dirk>Pau for you and others on here.
wait did I just post the samething three times??
kindled it.

That's a hoot. What results? I guess a few winning seasons is there kind of "results"
