AD will probably be in it for the next decade if he keeps it up anyways. let dirk have it.

But I'd take both over 2013-14 Anthony Davis
 

 
Not Tyreke Evans the gawd though

shouldnt it be that Dirk has been in it for the last decade, so he should step aside for the up and comer who plays a more exciting brand of basketball?

Has nothing to do with being a homer. You can go on other boards right now and find the majority agrees with me.

What is Dirk doing on the defensive end? There are two sides of the ball after all.

He is scoring one more point per game, but AD is crushing him in rebs, steals, blocks, PER. Both are great, one is better.

Pretty sure that's how Dirk himself sees it.

And I'm 100% with Nola on this. An argument can be easily made that Davis has been a top 10 player in the league so far this season.

Thank you. And lets be honest here, I said before the announcements that Dirk would probably be voted by the coaches. That's just the harsh truth, coaches have always been hesitant to vote for the younger guys. There is a lengthy list of young players who deserved to be in the All-Star game but the coaches voted for a more veteran player. Young guys always make it a year late.

I was arguing for Kyrie to make it his rookie year, cause he was better than most every guard through half the year, but they went with a veteran

:Kobe:

But now he'll undeservingly be the starter for the foreseeable future no matter what so I'm good

If winning means nothing, which it doesn't. If he had Nola even close to playoff contention that would be one thing but they're terrible. His stats are great but dirk is putting up great stats AND winning.

You can say you don't value it but clearly coaches do otherwise cousins and Davis would be in and frankly I feel they have a more credible opinion on basketball than you or I do.

Quite honestly, I don't even believe that. I think they understand Xs and Os better than me, and can control a locker room, but as far as evaluating a player? They probably have even less time than I do to look into how great a player is that doesn't play for them
