Has anyone seen my specialty plates?

Gonna miss Dirk. Is he the greatest DFW athlete of all-time? I may be phrasing that wrong but has anyone meant more for a team? The Cowboys had great players but they had many of them. I'm sure Nolan and Roger have to be in that discussion, but 21 years with the same team will possibly stand forever. On and off the court the guy was a class act. It feels weird because I've been watching the dude play since I was 12. Such a big part of my childhood and early adult life.

Where does he fall in best PF's of all-time?

1. Duncan
2. Durant?
3. Dirk?
4. Malone
5. Barkely
6. Garnett

My list would be Durant, Duncan, Malone, Dirk, Barkley, Rodman

Somebody’s car got shot in my neighborhood yesterday. Our neighborhood is fired up and hopefully everyone will start demanding answers from law enforcement.

Buddy, I moved out of South Shreveport which is a war zone to the burbs in Haughton. You should start packing bags and looking for buyers.

I mean, just an incredible run. Knocked off that hot Portland team, then swept Kobe's Lakers, then took down Harden/Westbrook/Durant, and topped it off by beating that Heat super-team. Dirk carried that team with Kidd, Marion, Chandler, Terry, and a bunch of other "guys." Unreal.

I’m biased but I believe it’s the most impressive playoff performance in NBA history. He absolutely carried that team and willed them to victory. Including over the super team in the finals.

Here’s some fun stats on that finals

 

[Boomhauer]

My list would be Durant, Duncan, Malone, Dirk, Barkley, Rodman

I’m going:
Duncan
Dirk
Malone
Barkley
Durant (incomplete, likely move up)
Garnett

Not so humblebrag:
I was lucky enough to have floor seats for Game 5 of the Finals (family member had company seats). One of the greatest experiences of my life watching Dirk take on Lebron and Wade from the front row (photo below)

Holy shot.

Are we all in agreement that Dirk is the greatest athlete in DFW history?

No.

I don’t really understand Durant being in this conversation. To me he plays the 3 and Green plays the 4 on the Warriors. Don’t really think Durant is a stretch 4 like Dirk was.

No.

Tatu doesn't count.

The hell he doesn’t.

How else would Mr. Roark have known when the plane arrived?

Damn that was fun to watch

Can’t remember who but a couple years ago someone made that same shot not to discredit anything that Jordan did

Pretty sure someone pulls it off just about every year

 

[TCURiggs]

No.

Well, let's hear it...

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Well, let's hear it...

(puts lawyer hat on) Depends on what you mean by “athlete.” Not hard to argue Deion Sanders was a better athlete than Dirk.

(takes lawyer hat off) Of course he is. Mo, Nolan, Pudge and maybe 3-4 Cowboys are close, but not all that close.

 

[Purp]

I’m going:
Duncan
Dirk
Malone
Barkley
Durant (incomplete, likely move up)
Garnett

I can be okay with this list, but I think KG is a little under-valued. Might have him ahead of Round Mound. Also agree that KD is certain to move up that list as his career progresses.

Did she return the favor?
